geebsSo I'm back in the ATL. Got back early enough to hit Gamestop to get a PSN card so I'd have enough funds for the Davinci Disappearance DLC for AC:B (I'm still annoyed they stopped selling codes on Amazon, its like PSN had that big hack last year, do they expect me to actually put my card on there?!), then grabbed some groceries and dinner at Five Guys.
But yeah, since I'd done everything in AC:B, but wanted more to do than just try for 100% sync. For some reason, it took forever to download, even though it was only ~1650 MB. One good thing about the download is it comes with the "drachen armor" oufit. Its not actually armor, just a skin like the Raiden outfit or Desmond. I don't think the Armor of Brutus is that bad, I just hate how the fur and cape clip into each other, it seems amateurish, you'd think with how great the rest of the game is they could code it to not do that. But you can select this outfit and its appearance overrides the Armor of Brutus, so you still have the armor's stats, but the Drachen armor's look. The Drachen Armor outfit is quite sleek though. Though since it is an outfit, you can't use the auditore or borgia capes, which means I can gain notoriety again, and I can't be killing with impunity, at least not without having to remember to lower my notoriety. (Oh wait, NM, it also apparently causes you to not gain notoriety!)
But, I would have had to allow myself to gain notoriety anyways- there were several trophies that were listed, but were actually only available once you downloaded the DLC. One of which is to bribe a herald to lower your notoriety, then pickpocket him to get your money back. It is annoying that I didn't realize those trophies were only available after you got the DLC, because I did that! And I knew I did an arrow storm that killed at least 10 guards, I was wondering why I didn't get the air strike trophy! Same for tossing a smoke bomb at a guard as well as a spear and axe from at least 10m.
TV commentary:
Pretty Little Liars- So this started back up. Ha, I totally knew from the get go the girls freezing Emily out and Emily and Spencer fighting was a ruse to trick A. It was hilarious though, that when they finally decide to spring their trap, they almost don't actually back Em up because 1) Aria and Ezra decided to reveal their affair to her parents, 2) Hanna's dad arrived to inform them he and his new fam are moving to Rosewood, and 3) Toby shows at Spencer's all concerned about her. But, lucky for Em, they managed to get there in time (and Hanna gets a bit of payback by accidentally hitting A with her car, though not as bad as A hit her), and end up finding A's dropped phone. And unlike previous times, they did get one over on A, it was actually nice to see A flustered for once.
But yeah, getting back to the Ezra and Aria thing, outing their relationship goes as one expects, which is, not good at all. But if her parents waffle and end up eventually condoning the relationship, that would be insane!
And ooh, a possible Caleb/Hanna/Lucas love triangle? Yes please! I was kinda annoyed they dropped that this past season. So Caleb is staying with Lucas again? HA, I love how Lucas is like a glutton for punishment, since apparently he and Hanna had been getting close again, and then cyber-wolf goes and shows up. And at Lucas' urging apparently!
It was interesting to see Toby all concerned about Em and Spence fighting, because those are the two Liars he's closest too. They didn't want to tell him of the ruse, well, Spencer just wants him to stay away in general because everyone they start to trust ends up being a traitor or collateral damage. But given he is friends with both of them, it does throw a wrench in their plans since he wants to fix the rift between them.
