I'm waiting for it to popup in the Steam winter sale. Hopefully it appears.

There are still some serious issues with frame rate on PC. Everybody seems to be getting massive drops bringing it down to ~10fps in highly populated or highly forested areas.

Most of people I've heard about having that problem have pathetic rigs.

No excuse for a poorly-optimised game. Apparently it doesn't make use of multiple cores - one guy disabled his second one and had no FPS drop.
Surely if I can run BF3 on Medium at a solid 30, then I should be able to get AC3 to run at least that fast.

I get no issues with AC3 or BF3.
I actually don't believe It's that bad as people say. Just make sure your rig is running fine, is way above what is required to run the graphic settings you use and that your drivers are up to date.

All my drivers are up-to-date and my rig is certainly more than enough to run AC3. Loads of people are having the same problem. AC3 shouldn't pose any trouble when high-demand games like BF3 run like a treat. Then again, Dice know that PC gamers are important; Ubisoft clearly don't give a shit.

Got struck with sleep paralyisis for the second time last night. scary stuff.

The reality of Sleep Paralysis makes me scared to sleep! :-O
Sorry to hear that though.

don't even wanna know what that is...

Sleep paralysis is something that occurs right before or after you sleep.
What happens is: the only thing you can move is your eyes and you get some severe hallucinations.
The first time it happened to me was the worst. I couldn't move anything, but my eyes were open and I felt a lot of pressure on my chest, it was like someone was standing/ sitting on it. I also felt like there was something evil in the room trying to get me, which was the most terrifying thing ever, after a few seconds I even started hearing footsteps right next to my bed. this all probably lasted a minute (the longest minute of my life), which is a good thing cause just before I snapped out of it I started seeing a shadow.

The second time wasn't as bad as the first one, but still terrifying. I woke up with my arms crossed (even with my 'bionic arm' / wolverine thingy) and felt like my phone was lying on top my left hand, it was ringing. when I tried to pick it up I noticed that I couldn't open my eyes and couldn't move my arms. even though I immediately knew what was going on, I still panicked when I started hearing 2 voices whispering really fast (1 in each ear). in an effort to get someone to snap me out of it I started producing sounds in my mouth (you can't open your mouth). after 3 tries I eventually snapped out of it by myself.

I looked it up and there's so much more that could happen during sleep paralysis, like an out of body experience but I haven't experienced that.

@Sarah, don't worry:

Sleep paralysis poses no serious health risk to those that experience it, despite the fact that it can be an intensely terrifying experience.

That sounds exactly the same as lucid dreaming. I'm assuming you have a different word for it.

No, lucid dreaming is being aware of the fact that you're dreaming and being able to control said dream. Although those dreams can be really realistic, you're still dreaming. Sleep paralysis is something you can't control although you're awake and aware.
Lucid dreaming is something that happens before sleep paralysis a lot, but I've been having lucid dreams since the age of 11 so it wasn't really worth mentioning for me.

It's not just being aware that you're dreaming. One type of ludic dream is lying awake, unable to move your body and hallucinating.

So, I used to go to school with this girl who was always shy & quiet. But I just found out that she's in a rock band, I am in shock.

That's sleep paralysis, check other associated phenomena -> sleep paralysis

Srsly, I need to know how to introduce lucid dreaming to my brain, but with my luck I will end up paralyzed.

I tried to do it once cause there was this whole fuzz about it on 9gag for a while... I got bored after 20 minutes of laying on my bed doing nothing but following the instrunctions and never really tried again.

That 9gag thing is how I found out about my lucid dreaming an sleep paralysis, I didn't do any of those things in the instructions when it happened to me though.

God definitely wants me dead. So my journey began this time yesterday, when I left my house in Orkney for the boat to Kirkwall. Having managed to forget some of my stuff, I took the boat to the mainland, which arrived two hours late. When I hopped over onto the overnight boat to Aberdeen, I was told that it would be a further four hours late, meaning I would miss my train the next day (£30 non-refundable and non-compensable). The boat finally set off at 3am, though the journey was the rockiest I've ever experienced. After three hours' sleep on the floor of the second deck, I awoke at 7am and promptly threw up. After a couple more hours' sleep outside the toilet, the boat arrived at Aberdeen and I set off for the station (briefly returning having forgotten my suitcase). Managing to get a further £30 bus ticket to Edinburgh, I had a relatively peaceful four-hour drive, until I got off the bus at the West end of Princes Street, and the driver drove off with my suitcase. I somehow managed to beat the bus to the Edinburgh terminus, despite getting stuck in a turnstile and falling down an escalator, giving myself gashes along my legs and back. Having finally retrieved my case, I was about to arrange a pick-up, when my phone decided to cop out at 15% battery - I eventually found a stranger willing to make a series of calls on their phone. And now I am finally home, 24 hours later, weeping into my sheets. I am a cotton burrito of sadness.

Imagine this to be your Groundhog Day, that would be fucked.

Don't trust 9gag, it might've been a bogus, just to make fun of ya'll, it's kind of hardcore to expect some results after reading 10 lines long instructions. I plan to read a book on lucid dreaming.

Is she a drummer?

for fucks sake I need sleep, I though that the thumbnail of the video is your signature and that you just wrote that you know a girl who's in the band. sorry :D anyway, looks cool.

hope New Year's Eve is fun.. seeing as I'm probably going to spend it with three friends huddled around an Xbox.
