Black Flag Review For Those Who Haven't Loved The AC Series,
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag - Playstation 3 (Video Game)
So I won't lie, and I know that there are hundreds of thousands who would flog me for this revelation, but I have never loved the AC series. Now what I'm not saying is that I couldn't appreciate what was there, it was a technical triumph with a lot of hard work put into its historical mythos. The game had "unique" game play (there's nothing new under the sun but this series adds layers of polish), and truly captivating locals. I think this is why I spent hard earned money on multiple games in the series, on release none the less, only to call the game store within a week and ask the trade in value. Why was such an awesome series not grabbing me and not letting go till the finish line? I don't know, maybe I just suck at games, or possess the attention span of a tsetse fly. Either way I found myself, yet again buying, AC3 when it came out after being sucked in by the trailers and Conner's tree hopping, tomahawk throwing, animal hunting debut. Like clock work the game went back in a week.
This is the part where you get to call me an idiot, I bought Assassin's Creed Black Flag day 1, and here's the part where I get the last laugh; the game is AWESOME! All joking aside, what ever the element it was that existed in the previous titles, at least for me, is all but gone. I got bored before, and now I find myself playing way to late into the night and happily struggling through my work day to do it again the next evening. The game has strong ties to Farcry 3 (another awesome title by Ubisoft) which may sound weird but it's true. See Farcry 3 was the pinnacle of FPS for me due to the open world, limitless possibilities for accomplishment, and the awesome hunting/crafting aspect. In Black Flag the hunting/crafting system exists, there are more options for accomplishing given tasks, and the freedom to explore and revel in the open world has been greatly enhanced over the games predecessor. This game will hand you a task, and 2 hours later you realize you have been ignoring your task and pirating the living daylights out of the game world instead. When you do get back to the missions you find yourself increasingly endeared to the main protagonist as well as his hearty band of miscreants. I think this brings me to the part where I have to say "Buy the game". Which for me is a real surprise given my sordid past with this series. The pirating elements of this game are not just a gimmick, but the backbone of the experience with an Assassin's Creed tale woven in. Maybe that's what has bothered me so much in the past, that the game has been a total reversal of this concept, putting a sometimes overly convoluted story as the center piece with all the trimmings around it. This gives a forced experience that feels liner overall. While Black Flag invites you to board a pirate ship offering you the world as your oyster, while spinning a fabulous AC tale throughout. I have fallen in love with this game and Ubisoft finally planned it that way. There are tons of great review out there better detailing all the in game activities that may be indulged upon. This was not the point of my diatribe (sorry long time fans of the series, I mean no ill will), nor the motivation for said piece. I really am just doing a slow clap for Ubisoft's lates work so all the other pensive purveyors out there can join in. If you want further details on the game you won't have to dig very deep as a plethora of information is being dumped on the web daily. I will say that slowdown exists in the larger cities, and it does suck! However, it is far from a game breaker, and I hope some patches may help in the near future. I also still hate the trailing a target missions, but even these feel more refined and streamlined. The stealth is better, and I love the guns as they are not overpowered and just feel awesome chained into a sword combo. The game is not perfect, oh goodness no, but it is light years in the right direction. Oh, and no more Desmond filled scenes of Shia Labeouf esque drama and angst (thank the maker). In conclusion, if you weren't sure whether or not to set sail on this new adventure in the AC series, I say with confidence, pack your trunk and make for the high seas. Because this time you shan't find yourself walking the proverbial plank in less than a week. The winds of adventure and tales of intrigue are strong, with the world open before you for the taking. I hope you enjoy the game and I look forward to seeing your flag run high on the distant horizon.

Not your Daddy's AC...but that is good,
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag - Playstation 3 (Video Game)
Before I start I would like to say that I have followed this series from AC 1 through to Black Flag. I understand the need to feel like an assassin. I loved the Desmond arc, the crusades, the romp through Italy, and Constantinople. Let's face it some of us faithful are wounded by Connor and his deadpan, somber, detached and uninteresting assistance in the Revolution. This game heals those wounds by crafting a character who is likable, engaging, and does not take himself too seriously. He is a man who wants more out of life and sets off in the only profitable venture he sees available to him in the 1700's He becomes a pirate!
A lot of other reviewers have given out story points, so I don't want to hash the same points. The story is top notch and explores how one man starts out chasing fame and ends up realizing that principles and honor are worth any sacrifice. For now let's talk about other things Graphics: The game is beautiful even on current gen. the environment encourages and practically begs you to explore every inch of the world. You explore sunken ships with a diving bell, you can explore Mayan ruins, search for buried treasure, and can even hunt sharks and whales if you choose to. All of this sucks you in with barely a graphical hiccup. Ship battles look great. They even slow the camera down during a fight from time to time to show that big hit. That isn't to say that there is not problems. Some of the collisions are off in spots, ships suffer from the occasional pop in. Most of these glitches are minor and really don't ruin the experience. So many things to do: - Whailing - Sunken Treasure ships (that's right you get to dive and search sunken ships) Watch out for sharks. - Mayan Ruins - Naval Contracts (like assassin contracts only at sea) - Raiding Warehouses (really nice stealth missions that allow you to steal cargo) - Build your own fleets (cool meta game that allows you to capture a ship in game and then port it to a tablet and earn in game currency) This one is helpful for upgrades. - Assassination contracts ( old stand by but still fun - Letters in a bottle ties into the plot and gives back story to an essential character. - Sea Shanties that your crew sings while at sea. (think Almanac pages but actually worth it.) - Hunting for pelts for crafting things like gun holsters that allow you to carry four games at once Never before have I wanted to discover ever secret or item like I do in this game. The exploration actually adds to every aspect of the game. Combat: Not much has changed here but somehow Ubisoft has found a way to make it fresh and new. Sea battles are fun, boarding a disabled vessel is seamless and each one offers a different challenge. Capture forts and they become allies during a fight near them. They also expose more items in that area. Weapons: Everything from hidden Blades to swords, pistols and even a blow gun for shooting sleep darts and my personal favorite Berserk darts that turn you enemies against one another. Economy: Everything ties into this. you raid a ship and succeed in taking it over, you get the cargo which you can sell to expand your ships arsenal. Going into port to often because you haul to much. sell it and expand your cargo. want a bigger crew to take even bigger ships..... I think you get it. Lastly, let me mention that this story is awesome.you really feel for Edward as he grows from money hungry self centered pirate into something greater than himself. Maybe it is the fact that this guy actually has a personality this time, but I can't help but smile and laugh at his misfortune and sometimes his dump luck. If you want to explore the modern day, abstergo is a wealth of information on what happened after Desmond's demise and a few supporting characters make a rather interesting choices in this one. ( Shaun's choice for a career is interesting) Thanks for reading this rant. In short Buy this game.

Great story and setup with some bad missteps,
This review is from: Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag - Playstation 3 (Video Game)
Assassins Creed has been a series near and dear to my heart, so I'm somewhat unsettled by the number of flaws that the latest installment has.
The story is the mainstay still. You start off as a down on his luck sailor who accidentally kills an Assassin after escaping from a sinking ship. What follows is a rather pleasant exploration of more of the Templar backstory. The best part is Edward though, who flies by the seat of his pants with a panache thats almost Bond like and a real treat to watch. No training, no prep, you're dropped in the ocean and have to swim immediately. In the modern day, you are a Abstergo employee, silent and with your eyes locked into FP view with a tablet screen never out of sight, it feels like you've woken up in Google Stepford Wives. Graphics are off. I don't know if is my TV, but everything had too much color, like you were running through a Salvidor Dali painting rather than a Caribbean beach. While this worked great with the jungle environments, in the cities, it always felt like you were slightly stoned with how bright and vibrant everything looked. Similarly, the modern day setting has everything so clean and neat, without any realistic grit to it, that it creates a sense of detachment thats hard to ignore. Audio continues to be near flawless. Voices match well to characters, the dialogue is set to the time period but still understandable, and even foreign languages all add to the sense of involvement. It'd be more interesting if they messed up a voice badly enoguh to be noticeable with Ubi's track record in that area. Gameplay is basically all the same. While a handful of minor polishes has been added, theres almost all the core gameplay of AC3. The naval warfare has been greatly expanded, and you have a lot more options with targeting with ship to ship combat, and the boarding actions are well put together, and don't feel railroaded like they were with Connor. Another major improvement is the buildup of your stronghold and ship. It used to feel like you would put in five minutes of effort and have the remainder handed to you on a platter, albeit slowly. With ship upgrades and even cash, you're working every minute. Not hard, but you definitely will debate at points whether to up your guns or your ship armor, or should you get a mortar to attack the higher level fort. You'll also not roll over every sea battle either, and you'll want to pass by several fat prizes and jump on the man o' war way off in the distance because its the one that has the last 100 or so metal you've been scrounging around for, and every battle hurts, even if its just a little bit. Multiplayer continues to get its slow steady polishing. Aside from general gameplay balance upgrades that are apparent, theres not a terrible amount of difference between this and AC3. The best improvement is that you can now do solo wolfpack, meaning there's the option of doing multiplayer without having to wait for friends or rely on strangers if you just want to make level 35 to get a specific upgrade. The only downside is the story for multiplayer has been cut down to the marrow, and its basically vestigial. A whole bunch of nits abounded, which is what, graphical anomalies aside, kept this from being 5 stars. You're shotgunned in the face with collectibles immediately, which is annoying. You are also given the option to do Assassin missions immediately, despite not even knowing who the Assassins are at that point(this happens within 5 minutes of starting, so no real spoilers) I want a reason to collect the journal pag-i mean sea shanties, even if its just a token one. The Abstergo overlay is a tad offputting, as it feels like it gives away the game to easily. I really didn't want to know in the first 5 minutes of play that Havana has 7 secrets. Isn't that why they're... secret? I'd have liked to have an option to create a modern day character to not feel like a floating pair of eyeballs. The guards blend in to well with the populace, so its too easy to bump into them. Overall, this is still a great game. Entertaining story, good main character thats easy to slide in behind, and tried and true gameplay. Just some graphical issues and really jarring nits keep this from another deserved 5 stars.

My first Assassin's Creed Game,
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag - Playstation 3 (Video Game)
This is my first Assassin's Creed game, I've just never picked-up any of the other games, I was always playing something else, so I can't relate this to any of the previous games in the series. I've always loved pirate lore and that time in history and have always wished for a game that would allow you to channel your inter pirate, and Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag is that game.
This game is awesomely fun! I love sandbox games (GTA, Red Dead, and so on) I just finished up with GTA V prior to AC 4 being released. I found that good, but I would get bored with it. But when I play Black Flag I lose myself in it, I've played the last three days and haven't touched the main story, I've just been trying to upgrade my ship and character. I play and before I know it, it's 3 hours later, GTA 5 I could only play for about a hour. The side activities are more enjoyable then I thought, I thought harpooning sea creatures would be ok, but it turns out to be a lot of fun, and rewarding once you get a white whale. Even the underwater game play was better then I imagined, usually swimming in games suck, this wasn't so bad, you'll still get suck on dumb stuff while being attacked by sharks but for the most part it is easy. The sea shanties that you collect from the world are a hidden gem, I find them stuck in my head hours after playing, but in a good way, not in the way that you want to bang your head into something to make it stop. They really are a small detail which adds to the fun of the game. I give this 4 stars and not the full 5 because the the game will frustrate you for no reason, case in point, you can climb to the top of a church steeple no problem, but then you can't walk up a hill. You can also be climbing and just stop and hang there....there is all kinds of stuff for you to climb and grab onto but no, you stop and hang, it's really frustrating when this happens when you're trying to get away or chasing someone. Not to mention the random wall climb when you don't want to. I don't know if these are an issue for the franchise on a whole or just this game, and I will admit there maybe some user error on my part, but not all of it. I would also like to see an endless supply of assassination contracts, you only get I think 30 or so, and once you complete them all you get pistol swords, which are awesome, so I can see having a set number to do to achieve that but like in Red Dead Redemption bounties never ran out, when you finished one a new one would replace it. The assassination contracts are fun to do and I missing doing them now. Assassin's Creed IV is a beautiful game, the graphics are amazing, you get some weirdness going on, but on the whole it's awesome. The characters and story keep you excited. There are many places to explore and sailing the ship is fun in itself. So if you're looking for a fun game, get this game. If your looking for a pirate game, get this game. If your looking for a sandbox game that you can just do whatever you want in, get this game. Bottom line, get this game!

My first Assassin's Creed game,
This review is from: Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag - Playstation 3 (Video Game)
This is a fantastic game. I have never owned or even played the first three AC games. I have heard a lot about them but just never got to it. I was not planning on getting this one either, but the pirate theme caught my attention. After reviewing a lot of videos on youtube, i decided to give this one a shot. Boy, i am a happy camper right now.
NAVAL COMBAT - I will start to talk about what impress me the most: the naval combat. I am in the canadian navy and i have seen a lot of sea time in my 20 years career. I can not get over of real the waves are in this game. You really feel like you are at sea and i know what i am talking about. The ship responds very well and i am amazed how real this all look. The combat will greatly be affected by how you make your approach and how you use the waves to your advantage. This is the best sea simulation i have seen on any game. GRAPHICS - I got this game for PS3 and have watched comparaison videos with PS4. Other than the sea being better when you look afar, i don't really see much differences. This game was made for PS3 and ported to PS4. Granted, PS4 will have a few more details here and there, but the game looks great on PS3. The colors are just really strong and everything looks alive. The sea, the islands, the city's, the life in the islands and the city. It is very colorful and nice to look at. The menus are gorgeous and very pleasant to look at. It really looks and feel like a next gen game with those menus. SOUND - The music in this game is top notch. The singing of the sailors when you travel on your ship is outstanding. Specially for me who's in the Navy. Dialogue are very good and voice acting is good. The pirates dialogue really make you feel you are in the pirates era. Erggg Mite..... The sounds you make while jumping through trees or roof tops is awesome. The sounds of the swords when you fight is top notch. Overall sound design is of a great quality here. GAMEPLAY - I got used to the gameplay pretty quick. Not much to it. I find sometimes, the character does something i do not want like trying to climb when i just want to run or just running when i want to climb, but nothing serious. The fighing system is a bit like the Batman Arkham series, but not as good. However, it does what it is supposed to do and the melee combat is still satisfying. The Naval Combat is, from what i understand, better than AC3. Since i have never played AC3, i can't really comment on that one. But, from what i have seen on this game, the gameplay mechanics works very well. The tutorial of the game instruct you how to do it and it is really satisfying to destroy or board another vessel once you get the hang of it. STORY - Since this is my first AC game, i do not know the story. I read from other reviewers this one had a weak storyline. For me, i could not care less since i don't know the story anyway. I don't find i am at a total loss because one minute i am a pirate and another i am a new corporate employee in present time. Even though i do not fully understand the whole background story, i don't feel that it was a must to play the first 3 games in order to play this one. I still fully enjoy the storyline and if i ever need to, i will get the missing pieces from the net. FUN - There is a ton of collectibles to find in this game, from treasure chests, shanty music songs, special amulets, pieces of bones from dead animals (forget what they are called), hunting animals, hunting sharks, whales and your usual assasination or spy missions. Best of all, this game is free roam. This game is an open free world where you can go and do what you please whenever you please. The map his HUGE and i find i never run out of ideas for things to do. CONCLUSION - This game will not make me get the first three AC's games. It was really the pirate theme which got me to play this one. I have been waiting a long time for a good pirate game and this one is it to me. They would have called this game Pirates of the Carabean and i would have still gotten it. The fact it is Assassin's Creed is cool. I really enjoy this game and i recommend to buy this game if you are like me and you like pirate theme. If you are an AC fan, you still should like this game unless you want this game to be too much like AC1 or AC2 which i understand it is not as far as story goes.

BEST Pirate Game To Date!,
By Brill (Valencia, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag - Playstation 3 (Video Game)
A note about personal bias: I like pirates. My favorite attraction at Disneyland has always been "Pirates of The Caribbean", and "The Curse of The Black Pearl" is on my list of Top 20 movies of all time. That said:
"Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag" STILL lived up to expectations. I put in between 50-60 hours on this game, and they were nearly all Worthy. Is it a perfect game? No, of course not, no game is, and I'll list some Cons below (as well as some Pros), but first, let me hit on what I consider to be the 3 major pillars of gaming: 1. Story: For me, this is usually the weakest, and least important, aspect of most video games. But despite the sci-fi wraparound element Ubisoft insists on flogging to death with their Assassin's Creed franchise, the actual pirate portion of the story was pretty decent, hitting most of the classic pirate tropes you'd want to experience. And fortunately, this pirate portion comprises well over 90% of the total story, so it gets an overall thumbs up. 2. Gameplay: Mostly good, and sometimes great. The good is standard stealth and combat mechanics. Some have complained that combat is too easy (Counter + Kill + Chain), but I enjoy feeling powerful - and if you want to challenge yourself, just choose not to counter-kill or drop any smoke bombs. The great continues to be the ship battles, well expanded from their introductory success in Assassin's Creed 3. You earn upgrades for your ship as you continue to play and, again, it makes you feel like you're genuinely earning Lord of The Seas status. 3. Immersion: This is the biggest reason I personally play video games: To inhabit a wholly created world, whether it be historic, contemporary, fantasy, or sci-fi. And here, "Black Flag" delivers in a big way. There are major ports to explore (Havana, Nassau, and Kingston), and each has a different art design. There are also unmarked islands and inlets to discover and, again, each is a little different - some are misty, some are covered with Mayan ruins, some are built on stilts. And then there's all the ocean between them, filled with ships to sink (or board), wrecks to dive, and sea life to hunt (with a fun harpooning mini-game). And you can run, climb, or parkour over almost all of it in a most satisfying way. Like previous Assassin's Creed titles, the environment is really (for me) the biggest star of the show. Now, onto the promised Pros and Cons: Pros: - Beautiful, varied, pirate-y (?) scenery. - Good balance of Main and Side missions. - Plenty of activities (hunting, crafting, naval contracts, assassin's contracts, looting) and collectibles (treasure maps/chests, animus fragments, seas shanties) to keep you busy. - Sense of exploration and discovery. - Overall fun feel. Cons: - The sci-fi "Animus" wraparound. I hated being taken out of the pirate story without warning and being forced to complete some tedious mini-mission in contemporary times. Further, while the detailed rendering of the 18th century Caribbean was beautiful, the sequences back at "Abstergo" looked like they were leftover from a PS2 generation game. - Not all the gameplay was great, or even good. Some of it was downright irritating. Case in point: Follow missions. Where you have to stealthily follow a couple guys for a while and eavesdrop on their conversation - i.e., 10 minutes of walking around trying to avoid detection - which is an AUTO FAIL - just to listen to an exposition dump. And there were A LOT of these. - The requisite number of bugs and glitches although, I must say, for an "Assassin's Creed" game, there might have been actually FEWER of these than usual! However, at the end of the day, the important point is, the Pros FAR outweigh the Cons in "Black Flag". So belay yer delay, matey, and unfurl all sheets to the wind for one of the best games of the YARRRRR! [Couldn't resist.]

The Pirates Life for Me,
This review is from: Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag - Playstation 3 (Video Game)
AC4 is a breath of fresh air for the franchise. I don't know if it was just me, but the last two entries felt rushed and a bit boring. AC4 though brings it to the next level for the series. The combat is still the same from Ac-AC3 which is fine but after so many years of the same system it would of been nice to have updated combat mechanics. Over all though you still feel like a badass fighting 12 guys at once! The Caribbean was a great place to set it in. Everything feels alive, from the the children playing in the cities, to wild life roaming the land and sea, You never have a dull moment when exploring the beautiful and unforgettable world Ubisoft has crated for AC4. If you love the past AC games and are on the fence about spending the $60 dollars to buy this one, I would say go for it. There is a lot of content here and this time around I actually want to keep playing. Don't forget to send feedback to let me know if this review was helpful. The full written review will be up shortly.

Wow. This is a pretty fun game.,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag - Playstation 3 (Video Game)
I was not planning on buying this game at launch. I've been a fan of the series, but Revelations was buggy and disappointing. AC3 was great at times, but also disappointing at times. I didn't want to get sucked in to the hype again, and I figured I'd just buy this when the price came down and some of the bugs were patched out.
But, I watched a gameplay trailer with my wife. She loved it and said that she wanted to play it as soon as it came out. Who am I to argue with that? Well, it has been pretty awesome. I'm about a fifth of the way through the main story. I don't want to comment too specifically on the story but I will say that I don't really care about the Edward Kenway character yet, and I'm completely OK with that. I wanted to like Connor, but all of the pivotal moments in his story were just missing or undeveloped in the game. Now, I just don't care, and that's better. One of the main reasons I was on the fence about this game was because of the pirate thing. "Really?" I said. "A pirate assassin? Pfft." Well guess what, past self. You love pirates. You know you do. You're just trying to act cool. When you (you the reader, not my past self) were playing AC3, if you did, did you ever find yourself saying "Man, these naval missions are awesome! I wish I could just get out and sail around though. They could make a whole game out of just this!" Well, then this is the game for you, because that is exactly what Ubisoft did. There's still plenty of running around in small island towns, with typical AC fare, but this game is pretty much naval missions. Sink ships and loot, raid forts, visit little islands and big ports. That's what this game is, and I'm loving it so far.

Good pirate game, TERRIBLE Assassin's Creed Game **SPOILERS**,
By Annie (US) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag - Playstation 3 (Video Game)
I just finished AC4 earlier today, and here are my thoughts (including the Aveline DLC). Spoilers abound, so be warned.
Overall, when comparing everything in AC4 to AC3, there are vast improvements here. The side missions are infinitely more dynamic and fun to play (not to mention there are a lot of more side things to do - the amt. of it reminds me of Brotherhood in many respects). There are a lot of aspects of this game that are fun. I like being able to attack ships and seamlessly board and wrack mayhem on any Spanish or English crew. There is actually more stealth in this game...and you can hunt...find treasure...explore plenty of new places...and the Templar Hunts are really fun too. Also, fewer glitches, which is always a good thing. I ran only into a few glitches - a floating chair by Edward when I was at the end of the game and a Templar Hunt mission where the person I was hunting literally disappeared so I had to restart the mission. But comparatively minor compared to AC3. However - this isn't an Assassin's Creed game. You start the game actually playing the main character Edward, unlike in AC3 where you drag along as Haytham for nearly half the game...which is nice, except there really isn't much depth to Edward. He wants to be rich, gets caught up with the Templars and the Assassins because of it, and that's how most of the story carries on. His interactions with other people seem to be really one-dimensional too, only showing the glimpse of any emotion when a major character dies. A lot of the time, characters are introduced that are portrayed as your enemies, but you spend half the time wondering why you should even hate these characters because everything is so rushed, there's not much of an interaction there. The only time where I would say where there was a more dynamic interaction/relationship is with James Kidd, who is by all accounts kickass. The big problem with this is that until the very end of the game, Edward does not become an assassin. Hell, for most of the game he doesn't want anything to do with them - he's more of a pirate that sees how the Assassins and Templars interact as an outsider, and really only gets involved when coin is involved. It just feels so weird to play and offputting to play. If you thought Connor seemed a bit distant from his Assassin brotherhood in AC3, it's even worse with this game. I would also argue that the storyline itself is weaker than AC3 - it is actually more clear WHY you hate the people you are trying to kill in AC3. With AC4, it's more of a convoluted mess. There are a few times when you get to interact directly with the assassins first hand, and I love those sequences so much...but these sequences are so far and few in between. Really disappointing. This issue with Ubisoft's issue with storylines carries on with the Aveline DLC. It's three sequences long, and it starts off with a letter from Connor to Aveline asking her to rescue a woman. Going through all the obstacles to find her are actually quite fun, and even escorting her is too. At the end, they talk about going back to the homestead to meet Connor, but that's abruptly where the DLC ends...like, what? Seriously? You're going to end the DLC there? Not even going to have a cutscene with Connor the end the DLC there? Jesus Christ Ubisoft, what are you thinking? By all accounts, and this PAINS me to say this, I like Connor way more than Edward in this AC series :/ At least with Connor his intentions and interactions actually seemed more enthralling, which is a sad thing to say since a lot of people think he's a bit of a dick. Edward just falls flat, along with this storyline. The side missions are extras are where this game really shines though. I always hope Ubisoft will release an AC game with a great storyline like AC2, but it just seems to be getting worse and worse. I think this game is teasing as something involving Aveline or Connor in a future game though? Guess we'll find out next year when they announce the next game. To recap: - Side missions have vastly improved - Pirating is extremely fun and seamless - Edward really falls flat in this game - The storyline itself is confusing and boring

AC4 is both highly good looking and really, really fun. The beginning blew me away, though I was horrible at firing off the cannons!!!
From the start I was very engaged by the scenery and gameplay. The protagonist is really quite the acrobat and moves in ways that scream, "Yar, I'm a mighty Pirate!" Hehe, but joking aside, he is really quite suave and the controls are super responsive. When I steered the ship out of the cove I simply fell in love with the majestic environments. It was truly stunning to behold, and a lot of fun. I'm not far in, but from what I've seen this is an awesome experience. I'm so glad I dived in and the P4 Upgrade is only 9.99, which is why I bought it for my PS3/ but I'm really excited to see it on my shiny PS4 in just a little over two weeks! You can't go wrong with this title, it's simply sublime! |

quote:It's between GoT or The Wire.
quote:That's tough. I'd have to say GoT. Simply because you'll be on board when it fires back up here in a couple weeks But then again, shite you could be done with the Wire by tomorrow night just watch all of GoT the next night
quote:Breaking Bad.
quote:Start GoT so you can be with us for Season 3 in 2 Sundays
quote:Mad Men is lame.
quote:think I'm going to do both. GoT & The Wire everyday for 2 weeks.
quote:Breaking Bad, best show ever except for maybe The Wire.
quote:I got through 2 seasons of Mad Men and and has started to fade out for me. Great dialogue and I like the characters but I'm just waiting for something to happen. Maybe I need to just stick with it one more season.
quote:Really, there's not one decent person on the show. They are are horrible people and deserve every awful thing which befalls them, which is usually of their own making. I don't see how anyone finds it entertaining or even all that interesting.
quote:But I hate almost all of the characters and all of the actors (because of the characters). I like Breaking Bad a lot, but I don't find it all that "fun."

at1with0 wrote:En-Lugal wrote:I'm inclined to agree with you. Does that strengthen your connection to deity? Where does that leave you?
It opens my mind to the possibility that the account of God in the Bible is true and accurate. Or, at least, more is true than I thought. It opens my mind to the possibility that God's love is not at all like human love.
In every frame of your memory, there was something that most accurately symbolized God, although "most accurately" may be relatively inaccurate. Sometimes it's a clock. Maybe a bee. Or a source of light. A person on occasion. Sometimes the entire frame is the best symbol for God. That's when the connection feels strong. I am tethered to the earth but floating far beyond the stars.
En-Lugal wrote:So small things we take for granted like the bee can trigger the same response that a panoramic of the universe, as far as we can see at present, and connect one to deity.
The flesh is here on this earth but our intelligence, our soul, may actually be beyond the universe of/or man's understanding and connected in ways even further away from our understanding. The clue may reside in the way which our brain sees and decodes symbolism. Is that an accurate interpretation?
at1with0 wrote:I don't know if that's a question but if it is, the answer is yes. Something as small as a bee can trigger that response.
at1with0 wrote:Yes.
Sometimes I'm reminded of the Chinese Room scenario and what it might feel like for the person stuck with just symbolic decoding all their lives to leave the room.
His research shows that the death toll from democide is far greater than the death toll from war. After studying over 8,000 reports of government-caused deaths, Rummel estimates that there have been 262 million victims of democide in the last century. According to his figures, six times as many people have died from the inflictions of people working for governments than have died in battle
at1with0 wrote:If you believe in a God and the flood, then not only did God allow genocide to happen, God caused the genocide.
If you believe in a God but not the flood, then, yes, mankind perpetrates genocide and God allows it to happen.
Your point seems to be that mankind, rather than God, perpetrated genocide (in the form of democide). Yes, I would agree that mankind perpetrates genocide. My point is that whatever God you believe in allows it to happen. Many will nod their head with that and say they'd rather have free will than no genocide/democide allowed.

Something must drive us out of that nursery and into the lives of others, and that something is suffering." - C.S. Lewis

Moving to a tiny town in Australia would be an awesome commercial move and you are fools if you don't.
It's the perfect time to put on your yellow boots and go meandering around the woods looking for...well stuff. In my experience looking for stuff is the best way to find it. -Loim

I remember playing with a fiber-optic lamp when I was a child. As the lamp spun around spewing light of all shades and colors, I thought it was amazing. What is amazing to me today, more than two decades later, is that very similar pieces of fiber that were used in that lamp are quickly becoming the medium of choice for ultra-fast information conduits. Copper had been the primary medium for electrical data transfer for decades; however, optical interconnects will soon begin to displace the commonplace copper.
VITA, a popular standards group, has begun assembling panels of its members to start discussing how the copper to optical transition will occur. Ray Alderman, executive director of VITA, has predicted that a shift in the mil/aero market will take place in 2012. Alderman also foresees the mil/aero market leading the charge into developing new optical interconnects, as stated in one of his blogs. "It's up to the military applications segment to initiate this move away from copper and to a new generation of pure-optical architectures and technologies," he says.
Once again, we have reached a critical turning point in how mission-critical mil/aero systems are designed. We hit the thermal barrier in processors, so we add multiple lower-powered cores; we hit the wall in the amount of transistors that fit on a die, so we shrink the process; now, we are at the point where we are pushing too much data down the copper pipe, so we are switching to light and fiber.
It will be interesting to see how design and EDA software companies adapt to this evolving market! Mentor Graphics has always been on the bleeding-edge of the industry and I am sure optical layout design software is just around the corner. From one geek to another, I cannot wait until I can go to my local computer shop and pick up optical interconnected motherboards and components.

Four years ago, when my Aussie was in her chewing-everything-in-sight stage, we went through several leashes. The bitter-taste sprays didn't do any good; quite the opposite, in fact. Sky seemed to regard them as gravy.
I wish I'd known then about Lupine collars.
Lupine's tagline is "Guaranteed, even if chewed," and they mean it. A chewed-up collar or leash is replaced, no questions asked. But that guarantee is only part of what these collars have going for them. Forget your basic red or blue or green or black nylon webbing. Simply put, they're gorgeous.
Gorgeous Patterns
I've woven patterned bands, and I know what goes into making a complex pattern. Designing an attractive two-tone geometric pattern is relatively simple. The more colors you add, the more complex the pattern—even a simple geometric one—becomes. Throw in curves, and you're looking at something immensely more intricate.
Even though the webbing isn't handwoven by master weavers in a little French village of hereditary craftsmen, the sophistication and execution of the designs that Lupine carries is really impressive. These aren't simple patterns—they're detailed, joyous, brilliant, and playful. They range from "Woofstock"—rainbow-hued peace signs on a black background—through mock paint splashes, muddy pawprints, and bright flowers.
In 1988, Scott Badger and Dave Jensen, two of the future founders of Lupine, were running a video store when Scott acquired a wolf hybrid puppy named Blaze, who came to work with him. Valerie Jensen, Scott's wife, worked at a local mountaineering equipment manufacturer. She made Blaze a collar out of some patterned webbing. The compliments started coming in, as well as the queries about where to get collars like Blaze's custom-made one. Soon, the three were making collars, leashes, and even harnesses to sell in the video store and in local pet stores.
After a couple of years of working with available patterned webbing they started designing their own patterns with colored pencils and graph paper. They now work with a webbing designer, and the results are stunning. The collars come in over a dozen patterns, in sizes from cat collars to large dog collars They look great, and there's probably a pattern to suit any coat color or any owner.
Durable and Rugged
To top it off, the weave is tight and the fabric, durable. They can withstand a lot of wear.
Of course—as my socks and Sky's collars and leashes proved—very little can withstand the sharp little teeth of a determined puppy. Not even the tough woven layers of a Lupine collar are always puppy-proof. That's where the guarantee comes in.
The product is only part of the deal when you buy something for your pet. It's important to know that the company stands behind its work and to know exactly what it's prepared to guarantee. As a pet store owner, I've refused to carry products the manufacturer of which had a cavalier attitude to the quality and performance of the goods. I think that I can honestly say, however, that I've never seen another company stand so firmly behind their product. "Guaranteed, even if chewed" is about as good as you could hope to get.
In the end, all bitter sprays having proved merely appetizers, I found that Tiger Balm was the one surefire condiment that made Sky stop chewing. Eventually, she sprouted her adult teeth and got past the see-it-chew-it stage. We went through a lot of leashes. Learn a little lesson from me and go Lupine!
See the colorful assortment of Lupine collars, leashes, and harnesses in the Almanac.com pet store.

Using Simulation as a Test Development Platform
Moving test development ahead in the design cycle can provide significant improvement in time-to-market, quality, cost, and time-to-certification.
SystemVision conneXion + LabVIEW = the ability to develop and validate tests before hardware is built. SystemVision allows models of the hardware and the surrounding environment to execute while LabVIEW runs tests against the system. The same LabVIEW tests can then be run against the actual hardware after fabrication.
- Develop and execute system tests earlier in the design cycle, before hardware is available
- Reduce overall development schedule while improving product quality
- Enhance test continuity across the development and fabrication process
What does this mean to you? Test engineers gain early access to the virtual hardware, enabling test checkout and debug before the critical path point when hardware is finally available. Designers gain an independently created set of system validation tests with feedback in time to fix bugs before the hardware is built. And once the first article is available, both have confidence that when tests indicate a failure, it's not just a test bug.

Installation Policies To request the installation of painted curb, please address a letter to the Traffic Engineering Division at City Hall, 303 W. Commonwealth Avenue, Fullerton, CA 92832. The request must come from the property owner whose curb face is affected. In addition, any support form the surrounding businesses or residences in the immediate are is helpful. Your request will be evaluated with the data results presented to the Transportation and Circulation Commission (T&CC) for further consideration. At such time that the T&CC approves the request, it will be forwarded to the City Council for final approval or denial. If Council approves the request, staff will issue a work order to install the designated curb markings.
To request that existing curb re-painted, please contact the City Maintenance Department at 738-5344.
Warrants for Adult Crossing Guards Adult Crossing Guards normally are assigned where official supervision of Elementary school pedestrians is desirable while they cross a public highway on the "Suggested Route to School". State Warrants require that a minimum of at least 40 elementary age school pedestrians for each of any two hours daily use the crossing while going to or from school. All requests for an Adult Crossing Guard must be directed to the Fullerton Unified School District. If the School District staff finds that the requested location is appropriate, the District will forward the request to the Traffic Engineering Division, who will arrange the collection of the necessary data to thoroughly study the location. If the standards are met for placing a crossing guard, the Traffic Engineering Division will forward a request to the Transportation and Circulation Commission (T&CC) for review. If the T&CC approves the request, funds will be budgeted by the Police Department to hire a new Adult Crossing Guard. If the standards for a new crossing guard are not met, the City notifies the School District that the standards were not met.

Letters to the Editor - Jan. 12, 2013
Saturday, January 12, 2013 One cranky customer
To the editor: It would be a lot easier, less expensive and much more convenient if I chose to not travel to NYC for the No Labels' Meeting to Make America Work. However, when was the last time taking the easy way out made anything get any better? For me, all it took was a good look at the Federal Withholding line from my end of the year pay stub to remind me how much Federal Government I am buying every year. While I fret over minor repairs to my car, I was reminded that I buy our Federal Government the equivalent of a brand-new car every year, which is much nicer than I can afford for myself or my family.
No Labels has some very good ideas for us getting a much better return for the biggest investment (Government) most of us make every year. These are very basic concepts, such as not paying members of Congress until a budget is passed, getting Congress working in Washington five days a week, and venturing out of partisan fiefdoms and into the aisles where real work and compromise can happen. Please visit nolabels.org and find out what you can do to get a more efficient return on all of those dollars we never get to bring home. Stability
If the Republicans are genuinely interested in economic growth, lower budget deficits and the national debt, they should be working to create an environment conducive to such growth. They need to stop the threats, pass the debt ceiling, as has been done dozens of times over the past decades, and work with Democrats to responsibly lower spending. The results will be lower unemployment, a lower budget deficit, and increased revenue, all accomplished without increasing taxes or making drastic budget cuts. It is a win-win situation. It only takes a little political courage and a lot less ideological posturing. |

I finally saw the movie "Once Upon A Time In Mexico" last night. Good movie.
One of the characters--played beautifully by Johnny Depp--is a quirky, rogue CIA agent based in Mexico. He has this habit of going to every dive in the area, ordering a dish called pork pibil with a shot of tequila and lime.
In one scene, he is at the table in a restaurant dining on his favorite dish. It is the best pork pibil he has ever had--far better than any of the numerous others he tasted. He concludes that in order to restore equality among the restaurants, this one should not be allowed to serve up such a vastly superior version of pork pibil.
After finishing the delicious meal, he exits through the kitchen and on his way out, proceeds to plant 3 bullets into the chest of the cook. Equality and justice served. Cold.
Upon seeing that, I couldn't help but draw a comparison between the cold-blooded CIA agent, his obsession with restaurant equality, and Obama's agenda to serve up "socio-economic justice" by assailing the wealthy.
Funny. America is touted as the land of opportunity, where we are all encouraged to follow our dreams and prosper. Yet, should anyone actually manage to succeed? They are immediately targeted for execution--so the less-successful can divvy up their spoils. Seems a little counterintuitive. To me, at least.

Offset Cheese Knife Vecchio - Buffalo Horn
Formaggio Kitchen Exclusive
Country of Origin: Italy
Region: Tuscany
City / Village: Scarperia
This was the first Saladini cheese knife we fell in love with. It is a classic design that works with a variety of cheese styles. The design is sturdy enough to work with hard cheeses, but the blade is thin enough to work with softer cheeses. The buffalo horn handle is offset to avoid pressing your knuckles into the surface of the cutting board. If we were to choose just one all-around cheese knife, this would be it!
Buffalo horn is a natural material and can vary in color from knife to knife. Generally, buffalo horn handles are solid black, but some will have some fine white coloration as well.

1) Use unique file names.
:: My preference is name-kit name-whatever, but as long as it isn't paper1, paper2, leaf1, bow2, etc I'd be much happier.
2) Add your copyright info to the metadata of the file (At least name and personal or commercial use).
:: Assuming most designers use Photoshop, this info could quickly be added to each file (psd, jpg, png) in Bridge. Then the customer would know what TOU to go look at if there is a question. Plus if I place that element in a layout it automatically adds the copyright info to the metadata of the layout file.
3) Include the preview in the download.
:: I can't tell you how aggrivated I get when I go back to set my preferences on the folder and discover there is no preview file of the kit's content. I know there was one in the store when I bought the bloody kit so how come it didn't come with the kit?
4) Have a ALL IN ONE DOWNLOAD link.
:: Every customer should know what their computer is capable of. Most people have dsl or cable now. A all-in-one-download is considerably less frustrating for those of us with high end computers who don't like sitting at the computer forever downloading 2 files at a time and loosing track of which ones we've already downloaded.
5) No blinkies and layouts about pirating and one Terms of Use file.
:: When you add all the extra files up from each kit and each folder in that kit--it takes up a lot of space. Plus for those with lower download speeds it takes longer.
I also hate nested folders. I get being organized, but it drives me insane when I get three different folders each containing maybe 4 files under the main folder. Just put them all in one folder (Although I do appreciate a seperate folder for the png files when you include the psd file of the complete layout).
I'd love to see ALL designers do these things. It amazes me how many don't. Thanks for letting me vent after hours of unzipping my buys from NSD I needed to.

meowmixer, tell us about the one that got away.
and fax, it would probably help to update the first post to more clearly state the rules as it's kind of hard to follow. i'd also add a running list of who's been picked. i couldn't give a flying fuck which thread these types of questions are answered in, but if it's going to be this one, let's get the rules more clearly stated & members who've been picked added to the first post.
and canexplain, it's because it was the week of someone she wasn't interested in. if it was someone she liked, there wouldn't be another thread.
as a sidenote, that's actually what i like about this thread & BMOTW; reading about the people i don't know very well or am not a big fan of. it actually helps me get to know them when i wouldn't normally. the questions about people i like and know aren't as interesting actually.

Electronics » Cables and Wire » Servo Cables »Twisted Servo Extension Cable 12" Female - FemaleThis 12-inch (300-mm), twisted cable has 22-AWG wires and female "JR"-style connectors on both ends, the same kind of connector commonly found on RC hobby servos. It can be used to make connections between devices with 0.1" 3-pin male headers, such as between RC servo controllers or RC receivers and motor controllers with an RC interface. It can also be a convenient way to connect various 3-pin sensors to a robot controller. The cable's conductors each consist of 60 strands, making it much more flexible than standard servo cables, and the wires are twisted to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI). Compare all products in Servo Cables.
