Sounds like EA is trying to copy Games With Gold & PS Plus. I refuse to have an Origin Account since I'm certain Origin is evil.

Yeah I'm skipping 8. I was fixing a friends computer the other week and became more and more agitated with 8s layout. The start button isn't broken, so why fix it?

Gah *smacks Sledge*
 
I figured as much but honestly I wouldn't of been surprised. God damn Activision is so greedy that this wouldn't of been a surprise.

Just let him get into a chopper.... I'll blow his ass out of the sky with an RPG.

Just for this and the MW4 topic I'm hunting your ass down the next time we play BF4 together and we're on opposing teams (j/k or am I?).

If M. Night Syamalon was the director he'd hopefully have the brains for the plot twist to be the trainers actually being slaves to poke'mon.... Thus somehow breaking the 4th wall when it comes to people playing poke'mon.... Because they are somehow slave to it....
 
Still I'm waiting for the reboot of Dragon Ball. Where JJ Abrams directs it. The ultimate finishing move in it will be Solar Flare. /sarcasm

When coming to understand that one religious delusion, in this case blood sacrifice, is interchangeable with another, cognitive dissonance falls apart. He shows an almost contempt for the bread, crumbles it and throws it down. Its insignificant compared to what he has seen. When he tries to get back in with jebuz a devil attacks, but when he really goes looking for the thing it is not there; another delusion confronted.  I vote Athelstan will be the first to go full blown atheist. I'm also wondering what he is eating/drinking. Contaminated food made people trip their balls off and alcohol was safer to drink then the water.
Aslaug named the baby after her father and his, Ragnar has a "snake in his eye",  Lagertha. He still isn't over his first wife and Aslaug is letting Lagertha know that she knows. 

He was hallucinating before he was captured with the bible Floki gave him. I think the mass scene was excellent. He was seeing how similar the rituals between the vikings and Christians were and rejected the bread. The hallucinations is his inner conflict.
 
Did I miss something? What was Aslaug's prophecy on baring another son? Could it be that she dies in child birth? The seer is definitely one of my favorite characters, as little screen time that he gets. Jarl Borg, Ragnar, and Earl Harleson respected him despite if they disliked what he had to say. Telling Ragnar it was not his choice to make will probably mean one of them dies.
 
This leads me to Jarl Borg. By the preview for next week, it seems that his new wife has died, holding her skull and asking it questions means he has lost his marbles completely. He already isn't trustworthy, but now he is completely unstable. I think he will end up killing Aslaug as some kind of vengeance later down the road while she bares another son for Ragnar... after all Jarl Borg's wife was pregnant when he left her.
 
Horik is a buffoon. He seems to be a terrible king. Ragnar ran things until he had to leave Wessex, and now he wants to use Jarl Borg again after fighting with him, making a pact, and then turning his back on him? I'd have to side with Jarl Borg on this one. If I were him, I'd be telling them to f*** off.
 
I love Ecbert's character so far. Asking Athelstan about what should be done with the woman accused of being unfaithful was telling about his character. Christian law was absurdly oppressive to women during this time, and I think Ecbert can see how bullshit that is. Athelstan learned a lot of viking culture while he was with Ragnar, and I think the fact that Ragnar acknowledged him as a free man left that impression on him which leads to his conflict with Christianity. Horik is going to want vengeance on Ecbert, but I think Ragnar is going to want to reenter what ever deal Ecbert had in mind.... which will probably be attacking Aelle for more territory.

April Fools! I was going to say M. Night Shyamalan was also signed on as director, but I knew that would have given it away.

April Fools!
 
Although I wouldn't be surprised if this eventually happens with a COD game.

Actually, that might be a Pokemon movie worth watch.  Explosions! 

I'd want to see Bay make a Bakugan Battle Brawlers or Star Trek or Star Wars movie, maybe Star Wars IX because that's all the more important being the 3rd film of a trilogy.

Lmao, this has April Fools written all over it... Or does it?

I just...............I got nothing.

If this isn't April Fools I wouldn't be surprised one bit. Cod is dead... TITANFALL M*****F*****S!!!!!!
 
MW3 is by far the worst COD, and I'll go as far as saying the worst FPS ever made. Sledgehammer had a hand in that to help the faux Infinity Ward along on their first go at it.

This is probably an April Fools joke

/facepalm
 
Really Sledgehammer, really? It's official, the game industry is going to shit if this starts happening. "Hey, buy our game but one thing though. There's no single player campaign, you gotta pay $20 more at a later date to get that. Don't worry though, we're giving you what you really want because all COD really is is a multi-player game." Greedy fuckers. Yes the COD games sp story campaigns usually always suck but this is just ridiculous.

People have speculated what the new Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will be like and if developer Sledgehammer will make use of a new game engine. Today they revealed something completely unexpected. The campaign will be released as DLC and not come standard.
So they're going to charge $59.99 for a multiplayer only game in 2014 and then release the actual game for more money in 2015. This DLC bullshit is really getting out of hand now.

My only issue with a sequel to Dust's story is the whole "losing your powers and regaining them". As much as I loved God of War... I thought that was always so stupid to get dropped into Hades at the start of every game to lose all your powers. I'd much rather see a come to full circle series of games.

So far so good. I just received my 3rd ability. I'll put the 3rd power in a spoiler tag just in case someone doesn't want to know what it is... its not really anything that could ruin the gameplay. But I've notice most game sites not revealing the 2 other powers in their reviews.
 
Smoke-
 
This is the power you start out with. This power seems to be the brute jack of all trades during combat. You're basic attack is a cinder blast which you can fire rapidly, you can also hold down the button for a large close range blast. You eventually unlock a cinder missile which does incredible damage and you can volley them off until you run out. The melee is a heated chain which comes in handy on enemies that get too close... your more powerful attacks like the cinder missile will hurt you if you fire them at targets that are too close. While you have smoke, you can dash into a cinder form and rematerialize. this will let you pass through objects like a chain link fence, or walls with gaps in them. Its also useful for avoid gun fire. You also have a non lethal attack smoke bomb which will cause lesser enemies to choke. This will open up the ability to either execute them or subdue them.
 
Each power posses a "super move". This is acquired through taking down 7 enemies in a short time frame between each kill/subdue.  In smoke's case it is the Orbital Drop as seen in most trailers. You launch up into the air and come down unleashing a fiery shockwave killing and destroying everything in its radius (at least for infamous, the symbol looks different from a heroic playthrough video I saw). Once you launch, you can adjust your drop area to a certain degree on your way back down.
 
Neon-
 
Neon is the second power you get, Its more useful for getting around and long distance fighting. The basic neon burst attack is far weaker than smoke, but if you zoom in, head shots become instakills on most targets. Unlike smoke you cannot charge up the basic attack for a bigger blast... the neon "missile" serves that purpose. Its not as good as the smoke missile as it needs to be charged, and its range is not as far. Neon's non-leathal is similar to the smoke bomb, but instead of choking enemies, it slows them down matrix style for easy head shots... this only lasts for about 1-2 seconds... plaything through as heroic gives you an option to make the effect last longer. Neon does not feature a dash ability. Instead it allows you to run in a neon state allowing bullets to pass through you, and also allowing you to run up walls. This is useful because under smoke you have to rely on smoke vents to get to the top of buildings, or a grappling system that all buildings may not accommodate in the best of ways. Neon's melee is further reaching than smoke as its a long neon beam sword.  I found myself sticking with neon most of the time once I got it. Attacks seem to drain your power less as well, I assume because without precision they aren't as damaging.
 
Neon's super move unleashes a massive wave of neon, capturing every enemy in its wake into a floating orb. You then unleash an insane amount of neon bursts from both hands sweeping the entire area in front of you. This will kill everything on your screen. Its less effective on vehicles and objects, but a lot more effective on enemies. It has more range than Orbital Drop, but if there is anyone behind you, they will still be there when you are finished. (You are temporarily invincible while you perform these moves, so anyone shooting at you cannot kill you before you have finished it)
 
 
A final note I forgot to mention that when performing each powers "dash" ability, you will not heal. When on the brink of death it takes a good 5-6 seconds of not taking any damage to completely heal, this process pauses while dashing so you cannot abuse it that way.

I don't know the exact numbers but every few seconds of fire you took you got 5 xp, which if you can manage not to die for awhile you can wrack up a huge amount of xp. The best way to do it in MW2 was to hope an enemy spawned a sentry turret. Since that thing lasted till destroyed you could stand in front of it all day and wrack up series amounts of xp (it's how I got those 12 levels). As you got higher the rewards diminished as the xp needed to level increased but it was the easiest way to get from 1-12 or even 1-20 in a very short amount of time.
 
Highly doubt BF4's will work the same way, especially since combat also includes vehicles which will decimate a poor guy trying to protect themselves with a shield. Maps like Metro and Locker would be ideal for the type of tactic listed above but I highly doubt Dice will introduce something so broken into their otherwise pretty solid game. Would give people to much of an edge in the earlier levels to gain required xp. However, I only see that working in a TD scenario as Conquest would be rather difficult to find a place to gain xp especially since Conquest matches are always on the move and you're never staying in once place long enough to take advantage of an xp gain like that (though as I said Metro and Locker would be the exceptions since matches always bottleneck at the same locations).

At least Shia LaBeouf isn't Casey Jones ...

Megan Fox is the worst possible choice for April....Michael Bay just needs to stop.

I finally watched the new COSMOS on the Internet.
