  1. They need to take a break with this, AC is running out of steam especially how the have dealt with Unity which seems to have a tonne of bugs.

    The setting sounds good but I wonder what the conflict would be about.

    One screenshot shows a tube station so that tells us it will be mid to late 1800s. From memory I can't think of significant wars or events that happen (apart from Jack the Ripper).


  2. What does everyone else think of Unity?

    I'm still early on in the game (sequence 4) and still plenty to do but I can't help but feel a bit disappointed in the game. The surroundings are great and the attention to detail is fantastic but the storyline and failure to address previous problems (e.g character jumping where you don't want him to etc) leaves me feeling a bit 'meh'.

    Also pissed me off when I found out one of the missions was a 'tailing' mission! (tedious as fuck as everyone will agree).

    Still a long way to go and hopefully it'll grow on me

    Played it a little at my mates, getting used to the controls is a change, the parkour change I do like as well as the fighting mechanism. The story I haven't played much of but from the beginning sequences,

    it seemed like a rehash of AC2 storyline of Ezio


  3. In the UK you can pay an average £30 - £45 per month on contract for the latest phone.

    Right now I have the S5, it is a big upgrade from my iphone4 which was slow and buggy after 3 years of constant use. One thing that still annoys me a little (a lot a the beginning), was that the S5 has 2 of everything, 2 email apps, 2 internet apps, 2 music apps. You can't delete them as well.

    In terms of camera it is amazing. The video records in 2k resolution and its got a 16MP camera which is insanely good.


  4. The show is ruining the books a little I think as it is diverging quite a lot.

    I mean, for example

    I don't Jojen Reed died in the books but he seems to be dead now, which is crap, and the mystery of the hound has gone, as it is now possible he is still alive while in the books it is alluded to this.

    I think the author has given up on writing the books before the show ends, as Brans story is already finished from book 5 if I remember correctly.

    This season has took too much from seasons 4 and 5.

    Next season the producers will really earn there money as it's going to be a lot more difficult to incorporate everyones story with the books not being a perfect guide anymore.


  5. This Iran and Nigeria game is boring, could be 0-0 at full time.

    Germany weren't properly tested I think which is a shame as I don't see them being as strong as they look. They don't play a recognized striker too which is very different from other teams.

    Looking forward to seeing Belgium play though, they are the dark horses for me in this World Cup, got class players such as Hazard, Kompany and Lukaku, and also other decent players like Fellaini. Januzaj is a strong prospect for them too.


  6. Rooney did create the goal but the fact remains he doesn't play on the left wing, that said I don't think he would have been better than Sterling in the NO 10 position in the hole behind the striker, which means he needs to be dropped for someone else if England will continue with that formation. He let Baines down a lot by not covering him.

    Welbeck did ok considering he was played out of position too and had to track back. In the next game I'd drop Henderson and put Wilshere in midfield, he is much better at distributing the ball and is the only 'European' type player we have who can actually keep possession.

    For now though it'll be tough to get out of the group. Especially after Cosa Rica gave a massive surprise to Uruguay.

  7. If Spain win it, it would be a massive feat, I just don't think they will for some reason, Iniesta and Xavi are in their 30s and unless people Mata and Koke start they won't have a youthfulness about them.

    European teams tend not to do well in South America so I would put my money on Argentina or Brazil.

    That said I would class teams like Chile and Belgium as dark horses.

    England on the other hand will probably struggle to get out of the group stages.


  8. The show is a (mostly) successful adaptation of the story in the novels. Some scenes are lifted verbatim from the book; other bits do not appear in the books at all.

    The books have far more rich detail...but the biggest difference (other than places where they skip ahead out of necessity) is the sheer number of characters. There are way more knights, servants, maesters, septas, whores, cousins, wards, sellswords, pirates, barbarians, slavers, bastards, uncles, aunts, heirs, smiths, commoners and general entourage than you see on the show. If anything, you'll enjoy the books even more because you're already familiar with key players.

    You'd be safe to read the first two books if you wanted, after this season ends. Beyond that there would be spoilers both ways. The show is like a great primer for the books, and the books will help you understand the show on a deeper level. It just might be hard to put the books down once you start.

    For the record, knowing what's going to happen hasn't diminished my enjoyment of the show in the slightest.

    Reading the books doesn't diminish the show, but I'm starting to wonder how they are going to do next season.

    This season has borrowed some bits from book 4 and 5, and the stories are advancing quite fast especially Briennes and Bran Starks.

    I actually think one scene in this season was from Book 6

    The scene where the White Walker turns the baby.

    I am assuming he is the Night King? Or his successor?

    I doubt the Winds of Winter will be released before next season which means the show will overtake the books which will be bad I think. The books have more detail and the show now is diverging from the books a lot.


  9. Apparently AC:Unity will have different parkour mechanics and from the trailer there looks more scale of things.

    I would probably buy a PS4 for AC:Unity but I am yet to play AC: Black Flag, so I need to get through that first I think.


  10. hahaaha

    Maybe America sugar coates their 'interventions' as humanitarian, but they're not.

    The Iraq war for one was about oil, don't say it was about Iran, Iran has benefited immensely from the Iraq war.

    The Iraq war has allowed the oil there (from Kurdistan to the south Iraq) to be exploited by oil companies and it has also allowed pipelines to be built through Turkey which will soon be exported to Europe.

    I mean I honestly cannot fathom how people don't see this, in 2003 they were saying Al Qaida and Saddam were best friends (which was totally stupid) and they were saying Saddam had WMDs, these were just pretexts to get support for the war.

  11. Verbal terrorism always was my favorite...

    hahahaha

    now i know how to troll qd.

    awesome

    Yes. Make illogical statements then when asked for evidence respond "fuck you"

    /me bows

    You must be seriously deluded to think American doesn't go to war for it's own interests whether that's natural resources or not.

    That's what war is all about.


  12. I rate Moyes as a manager a lot but I don't understand the reasoning of buying a £37 million number 10 then playing him on the right?

    Mata has to play behind the striker in a free role either behind Rooney or Van Persie.

    Central Midfield is still their problem though, they need to put 2 out of the following Fletcher/Fellaini/Carrick as a deep defensive midfielder.

    Man City are destroying teams atm, they'll probably win the league and maybe the Champions League.


  13. I would look into investment banking again, a lot of it is getting automated and it isn't as easy as people think with long hours and most people struggle in it.

    That said I did Economics at Uni and right now I work in an accounts/finance department. My degree doesn't help with anything related to work life although it did make me more aware in economics and politics. To think of it, the only thing that I studied that's actually relevant to what I do was probably my IT A level.

    My best advice for you is to get experience in your field (which is easier said than done). Without experience you're basically fucked after Uni.


  14. I got gifted another 100 million yesterday. I joined another room that had bounties that were in the millions and hackers how could kill but not be killed... Automatic shotgun full clip to the head... No damage. At first the money and all the hackers was cool and funny... Now its getting dumb and annoying. I don't want anymore money. And I'm tired of getting killed by others who can't be killed...

    I've never seen players being able to survive like that. That would be annoying especially in a DM or LTS or mission.

    As for the money, I still have mine but I can't share any of it, even when I do a survival, I can't share that $20,000 with another player. I wonder if it's like that for everyone.

    Seems like R* implementing capital controls.
