Mine just sits on the shelf almost all the time. Freedom Wars is OK but nothing special (Monster Hunter on the 3DS is much better), Killzone is good and looks great but not a system seller, same goes for Uncharted. There are a lot of JRPGs if you like them you are in luck. Also a lot of indies. I never got into remote play since I'd rather just go to my PS4. So if you like JRPGs this is the system for you.

I do short stories, don't have many, but ended up getting one published in my university's yearly literary magazine/book before I graduated a couple years ago, so that was cool. I've contemplated getting a few really good ones, copy writing them, and possibly sending them to a publisher (or whoever you send them to for consideration, gotta look more into that) or self publishing on Amazon, which is cheap and kind of cool. There are periods where, for whatever odd reason, I have vivid dreams that compel me to write a short story, which is actually pretty awesome, it's like ideas I didn't even know I had just come to life and I can build around them when I wake up.

Also working on a sci-fi novel, but that's more of a long term project (and not as in I keep talking about it but don't actually do it, but more in the I hand write chapters then type it on the computer and then proof it and fix it up, repeat then check for continuity).

And then also have a blog for television and movie reviews.

Not sure if it counts, but I also spend a lot of time writing lyrics when I get into songwriting.

Hi everyone, I'm relatively new to photography and am looking for some help picking out a new lens or two. Currently, I have a Nikon D3300 with the standard 18-55mm kit lens.

I'm going on vacation to Disney World in December and want to get a couple lenses that will be good for there and also for when I'm at home.

Right now I'm thinking of these two options and was wondering what you all think of them:

AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G

Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X116 Pro DX II

I figure the 35mm will be good for portraits and low light situations and the Tokina will allow nice, wide shots of the scenery and buildings there. I was thinking of a telephoto lens but then decided I probably won't have much of a need for it once I'm back from vacation.

If anyone has any suggestions on lenses feel free to add them here.

Unrealistic: Jaguar F-Type (not too expensive but can get over $100,000, still an awesome car, would be good with the V6 as well)

Realistic: Scion FRS/Subaru BRZ or a Golf GTI

What I'm actually getting: 2015/16 Mazda3 iTouring hatchback (still pretty enjoyable to drive, 40mpg highway and not hybrid, and IMO the best interior in the segment)

Brotherhood was my favorite, mainly because it felt tighter than 2, which was also very good, but something about Brotherhood seemed a little more polished. Then it went all over the place, Black Flag is fun but to call it a good AC game is difficult (still a good game but AC, not so much).

OK, all is getting a little better now. Got the social club to work (I think) and last I did was have it download the 5 gig thing it required (not sure if it is a patch or just extra game data). That was done over night so will check today to see how that went. With any luck it may have worked and I'll be able to jump online with some friends tonight.

Alright, got the new driver for the graphics card, now I can get to the part with social club. And now I officially hate the social club. It keeps telling me "Social Club failed to load due to an incomplete installation (code 9)" and I have about had it with this game now.

I am downloading the new driver for GTA for my graphics card now, not sure if it'll help, but probably can't hurt, will come back with an update.

Thanks, but unfortunately neither of these seem to be an option. I don't think I can do the disable graphics card work around, as I only have a 760 ti, so IDK what it would go to if that is disabled.

I'm not sure what an unconventional character would be, but I don't think that should be an issue.

So I just spent last night installing the physical copy of GTA V on my computer (went this way because I like having the box art) and after a couple hours I made it through all 7 discs. Needless to say, I couldn't wait to get into the game, mainly the online (already played it on PS3 so the big draw here is playing with friends online).

I go to click on the main GTA V launch icon in the desktop, it loads for a second, brings up the little GTA V splash screen, then disappears, and then nothing. The same happened with the GTA V Online desktop icon. So then I decided to restart my computer.

After that I try again with the same results. Then I go into my computer's directory and find the launcher that way. Again, same results.

I have no idea what the issue could be, but needless to say I am on a mission to figure it out (which is why I'm asking the forums since I'm not a huge PC guy when it comes to troubleshooting).

If anyone knows of this issue, has had anything similar, or most importantly, may have an idea for a fix, it is much appreciated.

*I tried the repair feature that they provided, and it did nothing.

**Running with Windows 7, not sure if that matters
