In lieu of today's Barnestorming/Cracked LCD

I'm out on a family vacation so I ain't writing shit. So here is the abbreviated version:

- Tonga Bonga>TI3
- Spurs is pretty good
- Assassin's Creed IV sucks
- Civ 5 is pretty great
- Enterprise is better than I expected
- Naked Raygun rules

Oops - I think you meant to say Assassin's Creed III there. You couldn't possibly have meant IV.

It's Michael Barnes. Of course he meant IV.

He did say Enterprise was better than expected, so, yeah.

Yes, IV. I can tell there's some good stuff in there.
Not willing to sit through hours of busy work and railing missions to get to it.

Also overrated- puppies, rainbows, ice cream.

I'm with you on the whaling missions, but those are few and far between. You can make enough money via the iOS app to allow you to skip a lot of the optional side stuff and still be able to afford everything you want to buy. As with any AC game, the worst missions by far are the follow-and-eavesdrop missions. Those suck mightily. But the rest of the game is great, and the main character is a vast improvement over III's protagonist. Once it comes to PS Plus, you should give it another chance.

Enterprise third season is amazing, but then look out for Fonzie.

I think _all_ the AC games suck. I also can't stand Portal, Portal 2, Bioshock, Halo, Final Fantasy VII, and (here we go) Ocarina of Time. I'm not joking, those games make me cringe. Who's too cool for school now?

OMG the Harry Potter ride...BEST RIDE EVER!

I quite liked Portal 1, but i'd agree on everything else.

My wife almost threw up on that. She had to shut her eyes and clamp her hand over her mouth halfway through. I went on it twice in a row. The single rider line is the best.

I love Bioshocks. Any of them.

Even better than single rider- child swap. Scarlett is too small for some of the rides here so most of the time they put you through express. River has ridden most rides twice like that.

The new Harry Potter ride is awesome too, Escape from Gringotts. Not as good as Forbidden Journey, but definitely the second best ride ever.

Transformers ride can fuck right off. Everything had about the Michael Bay films, but it shakes you violently while you having your eyes shit into.

Most of this park is pretty bad. The fact that they have a whole area themed around Hi and Lois , Cathy, and Beetle Bailey says it all. My kids are like WTF is Woody Woodpecker?

But god damn, the Harry Potter stuff is amazing. Diagon Alley is so freaking cool and they actually have good beer.

Hopefully you did the laugh and then sang the Chilly Willy the Penguin song...

I want to try Spurs -- did you get the expansion too?

I am a little bit turned off by the bullet drawing mechanic. The description just doesn't make sense to me in terms of theme or relating back to using different kinds of guns. It just seems like a cutesy implementation of a FFG deck of cards.

But, I do love the Wild West.

Also, where is your vacation?
