    Honest opinions on Uplay?

    Firstly I'd like to say thanks to everyone for the replies. I'm pretty forgiving when it comes to minor annoyances so I guess I'll give it try when I get around to buying AC: Syndicate. Thanks again.

    Honest opinions on Uplay?

    I know Ubisoft is about as hated & reviled as EA & Uplay is considered to be pure evil by many, but I need some straight answers damn it! So as someone that is quickly becoming more & more of a pc gamer I have to know just how bad is Uplay on pc? I do enjoy the occasional Assassin's Creed or...

    Wireless vs Wired. Which is best, which do you prefer?

    Wireless always & forever. It has been my experience that wires always break long before the device does, so swapping batteries or re-charging batteries while I sleep is a much better idea to me. My 360 controller lasts me about a week on a couple hours charge, I've got 2 to swap out quickly...

    Games do a lot of stupid shit don't they?

    Possibly, I've only played 3 & New Vegas. I really should play the older ones.

    Games do a lot of stupid shit don't they?

    So many things in so many games. Skyrim & Fallout are the ones that really piss me off. The fact that I can't bash down a half rotted door in an ancient dungeon or blown out ruin just because of some tiny little lock is fucking annoying. It would be great if I could burn that shit down too, but...

    Booze consumpshion

    I love a good whiskey or rum & I used to really knock them back. Anymore it's more about savoring it than getting hammered. I've got a pretty high tolerance for the stuff & have never been black out drunk, even after all nighters. I remember going to christmas parties & drinking until about 3 in...

    Would you correct someone who...

    As someone that has a very common name, Michael, yes it does bug me quite a bit. I'll politely correct people once or twice, but give up if they persist & just consider them to be idiots. The only time it's really pissed me off is when one of my bosses kept forgetting my name & called me...

    Poll: CoverGirl has a Star Wars line of Makeup. Marketing gone too far, or proof Star Wars is inclusive?

    Sadly I've known about this for almost a year now, I make hot stamping dies that print makeup bottles & such. The Spaceballs video up above pretty much covers my feelings on the matter, but Star Wars has always been like this.

    What Assassin's Creed games have you played?

    I am actually a fan of the games even though some are shit. I'm a bit of a sucker for the whole conspiracy theory/secret society/ancient civilization angle. I started playing AC2 right before Rogue & Unity came out & I loved it, then I kinda jumped ahead quite a bit & picked up Rogue shortly...

    What are you listening to Escapists? (November 2015 Edition)

    I really like these threads. Anyway... Gotta have some Clutch. This would probably fit better last month, but I still love it And I'll throw a little Coheed and Cambria in the mix too.

    Drink Recipes

    I will always love a good Manhattan, sadly most of the bars around where I live will fuck it up in one way or another. I've also had a few snide comments about my "girly" drink (because of the glass it's served in), but those always come from some asshat drinking beer that looks like watered...

    Fallout's Nuka Cola Quantum - Coming to a Target Near You

    I might give it a try, though it seems very half assed What I want to know is which idiot at Coca-Cola passed on this gold mine of an idea.

    Soundbar or Surround Sound? Help!!

    I've got a soundbar hooked up to the tv in my bedroom & it is plenty. I can hear it all over the house & it sounds great. You won't get the extra bass unless you get a stand alone subwoofer, which many sound bars come with, but it still rumbles my room. The one I have is an older Vizio, can't...

    Don't Want Windows 10? You Probably Downloaded It Anyway

    Ha, yep got it on my hdd too. Only reason I haven't switched to it yet is because I'm not sure some of the old software I use for my job will work with it & don't really want the hassle of switching back. Your main hard drive folder, first item, well it was for me anyway.

    Poll: Would you ever want your favourite game franchise to end?

    All good stories need an ending, good or bad, but I'm ok with new stories being told in the same franchise or universe. A good spin-off can really flesh out a universe or give new perspective.
