I played a bit of this demo last night. Thank god for 'T6' speed connections, this thing was a heavy 300-something MB. The combat sucks. Is it my imagination or can I not disengage from the enemies and run to safety? Also, I can't seem to consume healing herbs in the heat of battle. Otherwise, I kinda like it, the exploration and stuff.

i'm not white, you moron

You are NOT fat. I can't see your body from that pic you posted, unless you have the face of a slim man and the body of....something else. Your face certainly doesn't show it at least. What I hate is the assumption that all gamers like to wear huge tents just because some 'sacred' logo is slapped onto them.

I'm not fat, and I went through my clown sized fashion phase years ago. I want my clothes to fit, so screw that. I'll not pre-order.

What sizes do those shirts come in?

Yeah. Though I certainly never meant to, I think I may have pissed him off enough that he stopped coming around. He was.....rationalizing, as you put it. He said that he only plays games as a break from his self-owned and run business so he uses his 'Celeron 200 or something' mostly for work, and he was bitching because he couldn't get more modern games to run on them, thus all games should be 'Celeron 200 or something-friendly'. Luddites are people too!! < accidentally runs cursor over old man smiley > You bastards, so mean!!

In other words, the fence keeps him in. Thank the Lord, please.

Okay, you HAVE to listen to this: Video Game Violence NPR [italics mine] Listening to this, it's more than apparent how arbitrary their definition of violence in games are. When the guy asks if killing a typical alien (looks, walks, talks, etc.) would constitute banning a game (etc.), Linda Chapa LaVia, the supporter of the ban says no. Then he asks what if the alien looked just like a human but is apparently an alien, and Chapa LaVia says yes, it should be banned. Um....okay. What if it's a blue Tw'ilek from Star Wars? You know, they look very human but they got those wormy thingies hanging off their heads, and their skin is blue? Ad infinitum.......... and

Why don't they just admit it, then?

What sizes do those shirts come in?

What if you forgot to switch the subtitles on and they spoke your language but you didn't know and you shot them dead anyway? What if the alien only used your language as a ploy to fool you when in fact it doesn't speak a word of your language at all? I kinda like 'wormy thingies' more.

What if it's the entire staff of Idle Thumbs? .......wait, now that I think about it, that bill is starting to make sense.

o god, don't tempt me, man.

Can I delete this stupid thread? The same guy tried it over at AG. Same exact post.

If you want more variety go to your nearest forest conveniently located outside your front door.

You might wanna try courtship first, Fum. I heard that trees weaken when you present them beribboned gifts of fertilizer.

Like I implied in my preferences, I'm not basing it on the technology, I'm basing it more on gut feelings, on the art direction. I would feel more 'at home' in the forests of Oblivion than the Unreal one.
