Mozilla to implement background updates in Firefox 10.

I can't wait until this time next year, when we're all running FF 27.

No...

Everyone is playing COD or BF3 now.

Surely you don't think that posting Steam stats has any bearing on whether people are playing BF3?

Yes, you're right....wana hear that again? YOU ARE SO RIGHT! ;-)

You know Splash Damage from Brink, an online multiplayer shooter that saw limited success earlier in the year. But at a time when Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 are going head-to-head, it feels like the product of another age.

I don't think that is the reason at all, as it was released months before, but it still didn't help.

Bets on where the next one takes place?

Elsweyr.

Congrats to Bethesda. The game is well, well worth it, and I hope EA and Bioware fucking choke on these numbers.

The UI is a piece of shit, sadly, but oh well. The rest of the game is fantastic. I'd have a really hard time choosing between Skyrim and DE:HR for game of the year...

I would just as readily pick up a weapon and stand to post as easily as they would.

I don't know why they keep saying "If your rig is up to the game". If it can run on the XBox 360, it should run on your computer if you've upgraded it in the last 10 years.

Unless you have an ATI card. My 4870x2 can manhandle just about any console port out there, including Oblivion and FO3, but it's struggling to get 60 FPS in Skyrim. Ultra shadows alone drops my framerate by about 70%.

have killed two dragons in total, wandered around a bit, and have played nearly 16hrs so far. And I'm only level 5...ah yeah.

Really? You can kill dragons at level 5? That's a bit disappointing.

Just make the game with everything unlocked from the start, avoids stat whoring like this, creates a level playing field and destroys the cheap pavlovian impulse to continue playing - oh wait, that last one is important to gloss over gameplay flaws.

No way! Stats are half the fun! Just ignore the cheaters and keep plugging away!

I'm pretty sure you can find spellbooks, I found one in my inventory that I hadn't noticed right away.

I don't mind so much that the horses are psycho. I do mind that when you're fighting they run away...like far, far away and you're looking around after trying to find the bastard. Plus the animation for it is just so horrible. They should have licensed RDR's horses as they're the best in any game ever. And the whistle to summon you mount rocked too.

Check this out! Somone made Arnie/Conan. Heh

Get to the choppa!

They've really dumbed down the game for broader audience appeal unfortunately. The flavour is still great but this is very much RPG-lite.

How so? Compared to Morrowind or Baldur's Gate, sure, but compared to Oblivion or Fallout 3? No.

The perks mean actual character choice and defining. There are actually choices to make in the game now, with opposed factions and moral decisions. Also the two-hand mix system means more dynamic weapon choice and tactical options.

Compared to Oblivion this sucker is an 80's RPG where you have to draw maps.

Anyone know how to dual wield with favourites? You can do it with spells, but I can't dual wield weapons without having to go into my inventory and doing it and it's frustrating.

With the pad, it's the same as in the inventory. Left-trigger on one weapon, right-trigger on the other.

Ahh I figureed it out. It seems to be a bug that you can't do it with 2 items of the same name but different items work fine. And destruction is good, particularly flame vs. undead.

I can't read this thread anymore. Its making me very sad. I don't own Skyrim (yet) so I can't get in on the fun. Of course, my friend, who is a very hot looking girl, and unemployed, gets it gifted to her. Sometimes I wish I had boobs.
