I didn't mind the collect-a-thon in AC2 but it being less in Brotherhood (and IIRC it's dropped completely in Revelations) was a nice change for the better. Let me focus on the killing sidequests and main story. Less on having to hunt things down for upgrades.

Ugh, I'm heavily debating whether I want to hunt down all those damn feathers or not.

It's not really needed unless you want an extra scene with Maria/Ezio's mom over Petturico/Ezio's youngest brother's death on PC since there's no achievement for it IIRC. On 360/PS3 there is. And IIRC there's no benefit for it doing it on any of them (unless there's a cape, I forget... I'm going to check).

Really, getting the cape with no notoriety is nice but you get it so late in the game it's pretty "worthless" in the big picture.

Edit: Ah, yeah, you get a warhammer at 50 and the Auditore Cape for 100. You use it for "Show your Colors" achievement/trophy on PS3/360 because it ups your notoriety in all areas automatically. So not too useful unless you like a challenge. :p

Like I said: I really don't know why this isn't there (and neither the Magic thread) in the first place. *shrug*

I suspected all it did was get the mother to talk which was why I was leaning towards ignoring it.

That's cool that you can change your cape - I haven't found any of those yet. Removing notoriety doesn't seem that amazing considering how easy it is to just rip down posters. Generally, I try to avoid gaining notoriety in the first place though.

However, those damn musicians are probably going to spur me to homicidal rampages. Who knew they would include someone just as annoying as those damnable beggars from the first game!

Yeah, the scene isn't really illuminating but it's nice.

Hah, you can simply pickpocket the musician's and they'll leave (after dropping their guitar) in disappointment. But it ups your notoriety. Hence why having the capes that don't raise it is nice. :p

but he thinks I'm rejecting him, bleh, is one weekend apart really that much too ask...?

Tell him this: You aren't rejecting him and your friends aren't going to be a priority over him most of the time, but you still want to see them and if he can't accept that and can't accept you being apart for a weekend (or possibly more) at times, there's the door. Feel free to step through and exit. Bye-bye!

Let him jerk you off

Hi, John Travolta! Are you able to get me into any movie sets?
 
Eh I'm in my first real relationship but I still feel like there is something holding us back. The fact that he isn't out to his family (and me not out to everyone in my family) prevents us from being intimate unless we wanna go spend money on a hotel somewhere. He is also afraid of PDA. Our schedules don't align up so we don't get to see eachother all that much either. I'm just gonna go with the flow I guess.

But don't worry about it, there are plenty more to come. You are going to learn that people can be really clingy (that's how I was with the other people I was "in love" with) and you might just have to tell him the truth to calm down and get a hobby or something. When all someone has in their life is a relationship, that is all their life becomes so they will start trying to be involved with every little thing you are going to do.

I mean I'm not trying to give advice, I just understand the other side since I have been there before. I now have a really close friend who I have seen every weekend since we have hung out and there hasn't been one day where we text each other, even if it's just to say hi and see how our day is going. You boyfriend or whatever you call him probably just needs to get some friends or something.
Thanks, I guess I'm not completely crazy and unreasonable then.
I've told him that I've been single for like forever and that I still need me-time sometimes because the change is so big for me, but he thinks I'm rejecting him, bleh, is one weekend apart really that much too ask...?

Sorry to hear about your issues, Scott, must be hard to not be able too be "yourselves" even in your homes, I can relate to the PDA thing though, partly because I'm not out and partly because it's not really my thing. Once he comes out, maybe out will be easier for him. I hope it works out for you. :)

Well, the reason I knew he liked guys prior to him telling me was because we used to share a cell phone. He specifically said he was "gay" to his ex-boyfriend back then (I swear he would always forget to delete his texts). He might have just started liking women in those few years since, but I just think he's saying he's bi as a step to see if I'm okay with it. Considering he's never had a girlfriend and has never shown an interest in girls it doesn't seem like an impossible situation. It doesn't really matter anyway.

Boyfriend has been out of town for five weeks, five more until he gets back... I've watched an unhealthy amount of porn in his abscence. How do you guys deal with being away from your boo for a significant amount of time? I haven't had the slightest urge to sleep with anyone else, but good lord I have never been this horny in my life.

I did go see him for the first time in five weeks this weekend. Best sex ever. However, he's staying in DC right now (we live in NYC) and I have never feared for my safety as a gay man. Everyone there was telling me the most awful stories of gays being beaten to death regularly there and you could see the racial and social segregation all over the city. I couldn't walk down the street holding my bf's hand and we DEFINITELY did not kiss in public except in the parts of town where it's "okay." such a strange place.

This is neogaf. Everything is talked about to death in every thread. :p


If there's a new community thread, I'd suggest a general LGBTI Thread.

The girls, they hide.

Space took the top spot, yet he hasn't been around lately :(
 
So I have a question guys.

There's a guy stopping in my hometown on the way to a temp job. He hits me up and asks if I'd be willing to show him around. Let him get a little taste of the city. I looked up his profile, and it said he was into casual sex. Personal red flag for me (nothing against it, just not for me). But since I thought he was moving originally, I thought nothing big of it. But when he clarified that he's moving to a different city in the state, he mentioned that he's only passing through and didn't want to be alone for the night.

I took this as a sign that he was perhaps hoping for a little more than just a nice tour of the town. So I told him that he should find another person to show him around because I didn't want to be put in that kind of situation (the guy is insanely hot, and I knew that if it came down to it I might not stop myself).

I get a message from him this morning and he's irate. He blows up, calling me the most stereotypical over-dramatic gay guy ever. That he never expected anything sexual and just wanted to make a new friend. He cusses up a storm, completely blowing his lid -- seemingly taken offense. Then he proceeds to insult the state I'm in and rubs in the fact that he'll be in Cali while I'll be stuck in nowheresville (which is funny, because I actually do intend to move there in 4-5 years -- nvm the fact that I don't think I'm in nowheresville and I love my hometown).

I feel a little hurt, but at the same time wonder if I should take this seriously. Am I right to just ignore this? Or should I really listen to what he has to say? I told him before he blew up that maybe I was reading between the lines, and still... that happened. Was it warranted?

Sorry for the huge post in advance, but I felt like maybe you guys could help me out. Am I just jumping to conclusions and being a dick? : \

Sounds like the guy definitely DID want just a hook up and is offended that you didn't go for it. If you were polite about it and he blew up over it then why would you even let this bother you? No.. if someone says they don't intend to stay in town and their profile says they want casual sex then you should jump to the obvious conclusion.

Oh, well that certainly does change things. Is your brother aware that you're gay?

Boyfriend has been out of town for five weeks, five more until he gets back... I've watched an unhealthy amount of porn in his abscence. How do you guys deal with being away from your boo for a significant amount of time? I haven't had the slightest urge to sleep with anyone else, but good lord I have never been this horny in my life.

I did go see him for the first time in five weeks this weekend. Best sex ever. However, he's staying in DC right now (we live in NYC) and I have never feared for my safety as a gay man. Everyone there was telling me the most awful stories of gays being beaten to death regularly there and you could see the racial and social segregation all over the city. I couldn't walk down the street holding my bf's hand and we DEFINITELY did not kiss in public except in the parts of town where it's "okay." such a strange place.

Five weeks? Try five months!

(I know that feeling. It's pretty rough. There isn't a lot you can do. Have you tried skyping with him? At least it's only temporary and he'll be back in a few more weeks.)

Seriously man? It's DC not the deep south. There were TONS of gays when I went there and I didn't feel unsafe in the slightest. Also it's only a 4h bus ride away, why can't you just go every (or every other) weekend?

I love the word "Queer," but if it's going to bother somebody then there's nothing wrong with just using "Gay and Bisexual" again. A little boring maybe.

He's jealous of all of my friends, that I'd "rather" be with them than him, even though I've never chosen between them even once... I was gonna meet my friend who I only see a few times a year this Wednesday, but he thought i should go to him and stay there all weekend, since Thursday was a holiday here, thinking I can just take today off just like that...ugh, drama...



He can't take the fast that I have male friends, he thinks I want too fuck them all, even though all of them are straight... :/
It's not like I'm flirty or anything...

A little late for this, but it honestly sounds like you need to bail out :/ he sounds very insecure and you just started dating.. neither of you are going to be comfortable like that and it seems he wants another different type of person from you.

Basically, if you cannot be yourself while being with another person then the relationship is not worth it.

I think it would be too often confused for PopGaf.

There's a difference!?

I'm not a huge fan of the word, but I'm wondering if maybe we should have the title be a little more open? I was going to suggest something LGBT but then remembered that Trans-Gaf have their own thread so... yeah, just ignore me.

Also - screw Okcupid. Only ever get responses from people that don't live anywhere near me.

Where do you live. These things can really suck for small towns.
