What's your friend code? I'll send you an Archipelago colored Vivillon. If you send me a Bunnelby, I might smack you.

I just posted my friend code in the friend code thread. What's yours?

Also, I've been breeding Sigilyphs and Inkays, so if you want one of those with a bunch of perfect IVs, let me know.

How does this Humble Bundle thing work? If I pay, say $7, am I charged £7 or the £ equivilent of $7?

How do I get the games on Steam if I buy them on the HB site?

I'd imagine that you'd be charged the £ equivalent of $7, but I live in the US, so I can't say for certain.

Humble Bundle will give you Steam keys that you can redeem to add the games to your Steam account.

I see. So, If I donate $7, I'll probablt be charge £3.50-ish?

How I'd actually get them was my biggest question, really. So, it's good to know how that works.

I already have no desire to finish AC 3, or to even start Black Flag. Even if they did finally make it in a modern setting, I don't know if I'd give a fuck at this point. Just too burnt out on this series.

Rebellion are making Evil Genius 2 for PC and as a free to play Facebook game. I'm hoping we see a trailer soon. I'm pretty excited.

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/0D9BIs5GR4Y?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I still haven't finished 2 because in the meantime, 30 games came out and I'm not sure it's worth being that strung along.

Mass Effect with frostbite 3 engine?

Could be amazing, but kinda worried they might be taking out RPG elements.

Fellow Canadians, you're gonna want to head to Best Buy/Future Shop this weekend. Trade in any single current gen game and you can get either COD: Ghosts, Battlefield 4, or Assassin's Creed 4 for free.

Damn

I would love to get rid of NBA 2K9 for Battlefield 4

3) 2K Games announces they have released four collection sets for this holiday season with each set containing three games and costs $30.
http://www.screwattack.com/news/2k-w...y-game-bundles

Isn't Age of Extinction the name of the 4th movie? So we get another bad movie tie in game.

Ugh, bring on the 'Of Cybertron' sequel. I suppose it would be next gen at this point.

fuck yes Canada #1. time to trade in some old Maddens for Ghosts, BF4 and ACIV

Wouldn't the next game be on Earth, seeing as how Cybertron, ya know...fell?

Would be awesome to have that engine with a game based on G1. Whatever they do, they'd better put the incredible boss fights from the first game back in. FoC is so tragic, because it improves on the first game in so many ways, and it would have been a 10/10 for me if they would have at least made an attempt at putting in some good boss fights.

And no, that weak ass Insecticon bullshit doesn't count.

FUCKS SAKE WHY AM I FIGHTING SHOCKWAVE IN A CUT SCENE

GOD
