Never even got the Bee to see what the big deal was, so I guess I have nothing to really be disappointed over. I would like the Phalanx Shield on the turret to be patched so that it isn't completely useless, though.

The Phalanx Shield is as worthless as giving Deathtrap a shield and they won't fix either of those issues because Gearbox seems to only fix "issues" that make this game easy and fun to play.

After two deaths to this thing, I just used a rocket launcher and stayed in the area with the vending machines, firing at it when it would come by. I'd send Deathtrap out to keep it busy while I bought more ammo.

This DLC isn't as good as Scarlet's but it's nowhere near as bad as Moxxi's from the first game.

Put in my preorder.

Passed on the first, figure I'll give it a shot on Wii U since there's really not that much on Wii U that interests me and I have a Deluxe Wii U Pre-order paid in full.

Sevendust.

Their self-titled album, Home, and Animosity have permanent residence on my iPhone, but Seasons was an extension of the "Mainstreaming" I didn't really notice on Animosity until it was pointed out to me.

Then they had "Next" which was forgettable, "Alpha" which I consider an equal to Animosity, then "Chapter VII" made me give up on them. I hear their new album is good, but I can't give it a shot. Too many painful memories associated with me listening to Chapter VII.

Dream Theater is an odd one for me, becasue I got into them with Train of Thouhgt and I'm one of those people who doesn't hate Octavarium, Systemic Chaos, or Black Clouds and Silver Linings, but when I went back to the older stuff I could see why people who had been into them all along would dislike those albums.

I really liked A Dramatic Turn of Events. Not as heavy as Train of Thought throuhg Black Clouds, but not quite a return to the Images and Words and Awake days.

Children of Bodom and Nightwish are in the same category as Dream Theater for me. Got into CoB with Relentless Reckless Forever and Nightwish with Dark Passion Play.

Thinking about it, the only band with a substantial career that hasn't truly disappointed me or had a significant drop in quality over their run is Rush. I own and celebrarte their entire catalog, but 90's Rush is my favorite era (Presto, Roll the Bones, Counterparts, Test for Echo) because they have a unique "Jam" feel to them. The only really disappointing album Rush has ever released is Vapor Trails, but even the band admits they fucked up the mix on it; too guitar heavy, too loud. I'd love to hear a remixed version of Vapor Trails, as that may be the thing that actually gets me to like that album.

As for post-Vapor Trails, Snakes and Arrows feels like the natural progression of 90's Rush and Clockwork Angels has been oxygen for me since it's release.

EDIT: Wait, I forgot Queensryche. Steady uphill climb that peaked with Operation: Mindcrime and Empire, started their decline with Promised Land, released the uneven Hear in the Now Frontier and Q2K, made a comeback with Tribe, then lost me with the totally unnecessary Operation: Mindcrime II. I ignored Take Cover and American Soldier. After Mindcrime II, I find myself in a Sevendust situation.

@SomeDeliCook: Read your software license agreement. You don't own anything; you've been given a license for the data on the disc.

Also, dude...$20 at Fry's for an internal DVD drive...

My biggest worry about the death of piracy is it will also mean the death of albums, books, movies, and games that can't or won't be legally sold through digital distribution due to copyright or licensing issues. The physical copies get rarer and rarer with each passing day and piracy is keeping this stuff alive. We're long overdue for a massive overhaul of copyright law and we DEFINITELY need to make it easier to move abandoned or dead IP's to public domain.

I'm still looking for the option to make the game's humor more than "LOL MEMES" and "OMG REFERENCE TO POP CULTURE!"

Says the guy with a Billy Mays avatar.

The game's humor is funny for the first playthrough and maybe first two hours. When you've played all five character classes and put in a good 20 hours, that's when you want to punch Anthony Burch.

Listening to podcasts with the TV muted has helped me maintain my sanity while playing this game.

I'll wait on the season pass for this game.

The last two AC games had a lot of mulitplayer DLC* and if this season pass will favor MP, then I'm not gonna get my money's worth.

*I don't like the mulitplayer in AC.

You may have to delete and redownload your season pass to get the DLC to show up.

I had to do that on 360.

I barely play the games I have on my iPhone, so why would I pay $99 to finance a project that, if it succeeds, gets me the same thing my iPhone does but on my TV?
