Oh man Miffy, I know your pain. I have a drivers license and have had it since I was eligible, but fuck if I drive anywhere with it. There was a flatbed trailer a few cars in front us when I was a kid, one of the ones that insist on piling gigantic pipes in a triangle stack. Something somewhere failed and three cars got flattened so I don't like freeways anymore.

Bizarre, I've been listening to all night.(I can par this down to a link if it's too cumbersome.)

It was the only skin I ever installed for T2, because Diamond Sword has always been awesome, and it just bothered me so much for the week or so that I had it on that it kept getting me killed. Took it off, did a lot better again.

I'm a bad person for cackling at this. I think it's time for a nap.

Oh gods, that shitty spinfusor skin in that video haunts my dreams.

No wonder my turkey didn't come out very well this Thanksgiving!

Morrowind Complete isn't bad, but it changes a lot of core gameplay functionality. If you're just looking for shiny, give Morrowind Graphics and Sound Overhaul a go. Fair warning, it didn't used to work with Steam, but that was the original release, so I don't know what it's like now-a-days.

Morroblivion is a wonderful idea with mediocre execution. The landscape is fairly well done, and it does look quite nice. But the quests and the dialogue are lacking, the sounds are Oblivion sounds and the trees are Oblivion trees. Things like that.

TP, have you not played TES at all? (Beyond a small snippet of Oblivion, that is.) Because there is absolutely all kinds of weird and fantastical stuff, the Daedric Princes being incredibly interesting but some of the least of it. Oblivion is, to say the least, not at all indicative of Morrowind, Skyrim or even Daggerfall. It's not necessarily a bad game, and I've put plenty of hours into it, but it is bland.

It's really unfortunate, because Cyrodil (the place Oblivion is set in) is pretty terrible generic fantasy. Almost everywhere else in Tamriel (the main TES continent) is crazy and bizarre.

Yeeeep. There's also the dremora, but that gets into weird metaphysical shit that is kind of convoluted by this point/last I looked into it. Easier just to keep them as demons.

Aren't Dwemer just elves anyway? I don't think they're even short like Tolkein dwarves...

Silent Hill and games like it bore me to death, but someone pointed this out to me recently and damn if I don't enjoy it. 6LB7LZZGpkw

I enjoyed an early morning session of the Back To Karkand maps this morning on the SA servers. Karkand is pretty amazing, Oman and Sharky(qai) aren't bad, and I still don't understand the enormous love that people have for Wake Island. I'm not sure I ever want to go back to normal BF3. Karkand is so destructible it's insane.

Alright, who shaved Sully and put his moustache on Drake?

I have literal piles of beta keys if anyone else is interested in T:A.

If we find a way to make humans immortal, but can only give it to five people, Takai is up there for me.

I kept trying to get into Community, because everyone around me who I usually agree with on cinema/tv was completely into it, but I didn't manage it until the first dual paintball episode. Since then, I'm all for it. As for Psych, I have yet to watch a Psych episode I don't like. My favorites probably being the Cary Elwes ones.

He uh, took the time to pickpocket all their clothes, guys. Plz read article, thx.

I think this depends on two things; 1. What kind of pens? 2. What are they for? (Other than writing.)

Ahhh, okay. I saw that, but so rarely looked at the minimap while sprinting around. Good to know, if a bit too late.

Is that. . .is that John de Lancie? (Bill. I have yet to finish Brotherhood, and at the rate I'm going, I'll be done with Revelations before the next two hours are out.) E: So. . .that was a thiiiiiiing? So I mainlined the story, avoiding unnecessary bullshit time sinks, up to and including dens, recruiting and the economy. The only things I bought; - The mandatory first spaulders - Mamluk Chest and Greaves - Whatever Riding Spaulders - Heavy Sheath and French Bastard Sword I barely had the money for that, and I only got the sheath and sword in the 6th Sequence. Anyway, still have plenty of gripes. Lemme try to cover non-spoiler gripes first. - Fuck anything to do with carriages. Those controls are still horrendous and strapping extra actions onto did more to piss me off than anything in this game. - I'm not sure if I didn't notice in 2/Bro, but high-profile running seems to attract the full attention of guards a lot faster this time around. Bothersome, if only rarely. - Bombs? What bombs? - Kindly fuck Janissaries. I'm okay with one at a time, but when you're busy with one Mask and another one shows up and shoots you and you eat the full combo of the first one, you're basically dead. My damn steam name contains the word janissary and arghhhhhhhhhh. Hate. - I only realized shortly before the end of Sequence 8 that I never once used a lift. - The hookblade is pretty cool! Certainly wish it was around sooner in the series. Constantinople seemed like an AC1 city built by Venice/Firenze standards of world design. I didn't mind it, but it was a bit tiresome at times with the absolute preponderance of Leap of Faith points. Ziplines are useful, but only to a limited degree. Outside of missions I used them maybe ten, fifteen times. The split of Galata and the other side of the harbor seemed needless. They've certainly handled as large areas before. And now, SPOILERTH Bravo Ubisoft, you recognized how much the players hate minstrels and you not only had us beat the shit out of them, but had the funniest part of the game involve being a terrible minstrel with awesome songs. Well done. I avoided the Assassin's Tombs in AC2 as much as I could, because I was never good at PoP, and don't really enjoy parkour puzzles. Being forced into them four times was, surprisingly, only aggravating one of those times. (That being the first cavern under the Galata tower.) Every other time it was a fun exercise in fairly easy freerunning that really just makes you feel like a badass. While I liked the story of the Altair segments (mostly), the only gameplay I enjoyed from them was escorting the Polos out of the city. Because what the fuck. I don't really have much to say on the-... no, actually. "Sit and rest a moment." That actually got me to smile sadly and react a little. Brava. Cappadoica was neat, if mildly annoying. I actually cheesed both the escape fight and the ones to get to the gunpowder fairly easily. The central pillar climb seems like it was just there to say "Look what we made!" but whatever. I actually slow clapped when Sulzekah (whatever his name is) stood back up, that was a neat trick, and hopefully they don't use it again, it would spoil it. Who the fuck, uses GREEK FIRE, in a HARBOR, when you're LEAVING BY BOAT. (Still the single most Michael Bay thing in AC to date, so good on them.) I thought the little writing to Claudia interludes were nice. Not a whole lot to say there, just a nice touch. I liked nearly all the characters this time around, they were all well done. Suleimain especially, though I suppose that's intentional. Right, I won't say much on this, because there isn't really a lot that needs to be said, but did anyone simply walk through the Arsenal at the end, just to be a complete badass? As much as I hated the carriage sequences, the parachute assassinations were pretty cool. And the final fight was just cool. And finally, yet another fucking ending that makes me want to go out and kill Dan Brown. /Spoilerth So, now that I have the only MP character with having, MP anyone?

I think I might have a new background song for playing video games. That was surprisingly wonderful.

Fair enough, you crazies. I've only put in three matches, but I can already tell I'm going to be putting in a lot of time with Revs MP. It's a lot more refined now. For instance, the stun button works. How many people do we have with it on PC? I think we tried to get a MP game going for Brotherhood but it never got there, maybe we'll have better luck here.

Rodi, I think you might be the only person alive with that view of AC1 Vs 2.
