 Re: Random Video Game Thoughtsgoatunit wrote: Yeah... I also think he was doing too many radiant quests in Skyrim and assumed that was the game. That was fluff that was available. I would recommend that that person try and find the serial killer in Windhelm, translate the coded journal of the former Thieves' Guild master, visit Bard's Leap, investigate the missing Imperial archeologists at Alftand or check out the Dwemer death trap at Kagrenzel, find out why the young prince of Whiterun has grown so dour, and check out the Pelagius wing of the Blue Palace. Among many others. This is true, but on average I do seem to be doing a whole lot more dungeon diving than I remember from Oblivion. Unless Oblivion gates count as dungeons. Then... maybe not so much. I loved closing oblivion gates, I could be on whatever sidequest and find one and drop everything to get it closed. Just 'cuz I wanted the gem-thing. _________________ mumblebear wrote: You try to remember your anniversary.

Re: Random Video Game Thoughts If you don't want to support extremely high resolutions (though you should), a windowed mode is way better than requiring either a resolution change or just painting the unused space black (like in Geneforge).
Also, full screen windowed mode is awesome for people with multimonitor set ups. _________________ Ranneko's Lists - Another man's struggle with backlogs |

Re: Random Video Game Thoughts EA is suing Zynga.
Watching people cheer for EA and do a double take as they suddenly realise they're cheering for EA is hilarious. _________________ Nine out of ten science frogs say any mistake in grammar and/or spelling in the above post is merely a figment of your imagination. |

I'm fairly ambivalent to both sides. If EA wins, that means they get exclusive rights to make Sims games that I don't play. If Zynga wins, that means they can compete with EA in the area of Sims games that I don't play. Either way, I don't gain anything, and I don't lose anything. _________________ Triggerhappy938 wrote: You must be careful, Aaron's is the d4 that will pierce the heavens!

An EA win would actually fuck Zynga's current business model (find game, clone it, put "ville" on the name) pretty damn hard. With a precedent to point at, the victims have a lot more leverage. _________________ Be vewy, vewy noisy. I'm huntin' TASERS! |

Even if Zynga's 'steal something and stick -ville' on it style wasn't total bullshit, I'd be rooting for EA, without a qualm in the world. _________________ Chad wrote: Let me tell you some things I don't do: I don't do Women. - FtB, Ep88, 36:46 Chad wrote: Oh my god, I love the Boys!

Re: Random Video Game Thoughts When Zynga fucks something up, they are fucking up their hack version of it.
When EA fucks something up, they fuck the franchise/producing company directly, which they are always destined to do by their very nature. _________________ A bear there was! A bear! a bear! All black and brown and covered with hair! |

Re: Random Video Game Thoughts Team EA because I still think that they didn't ruin a lot of things.
