Despite all of the problems, modded Oblivion was a fantastic time sink for me. I'll be buying Skyrim for sure once I know that modders finished the game for Bethesda.
Yep I'm in the same boat! Despite the issues with Beth's games, modding up Oblivion, Morrowind and Fallout have resulted in many hours of enjoyment.
Also: waiting for a while before getting Skyrim gives me a chance to upgrade my laptop

They claim 25,000 people are signing up each day.
I have no idea where they get those numbers.

:p well, that's just for today, but w/e
perhaps they get a lot of spam accounts?
I rather enjoyed Risen back when I played it - I usually don't have the stamina for such games but this one kept me on.
The ending was a huge let-down, however.

Isn't anyone getting sick of these fucking games or is it just me?
I'm right there with you mate
I really enjoyed Stalker with that massive realism mod.
I would further advocate more storyline elements where your actions change the game-world (Oblivion has this).
Edit: Just watched that video. ID Software re-makes Fallout. My goodness!

Next up, arse wiping!
One of the joys of Oblivion is "modding it up" - kinda like taking a stock car that's been built for safety and then doing a "fully sick custom job" on it
I look forward to modders doing the same for Skyrim. I also look forward to buying it years later on sale (like I did for Oblivion recently) so my laptop can run it without melting.

No fix for the all-to-common crashing on quicksave/autosave?
Likewise - never had a crash in the game, many hours of playtime spent already (with mods and dlc too).

Todd Howard can barely code a fucking console game, let alone a PC game.
I'll be pirating Skyrim, thanks.
How about you just not play it? Otherwise your issue loses the high ground, yarr matey.

I love spaceship porn, but I've tried to get into EVE time and again and it just isn't sticking. Any other space MMOs out there that are more skill based?
I think the answer is not to go with an MMO for that.
Gave the demo a try - what I really wanted more of was "personality" - I guess that's what GalCiv2 is for?

"Paradox Interactive are one of the big players in the games industry" <--- they are?! I mean *I* love them but I've always consider them a tiny, niche developer with an incredibly loyal and devoted fanbase.
Pretty sure they're not a developer, but a publisher? Or do they have a development arm as well?
I'm a fan because they published Penumbra series by FrictionalGames
I played The Thing on the xbox - rather enjoyed it. Didn't manage to finish it (I remember getting stuck against a boss monster), but I had lots of fun.

My only problem with this story
I don't mean to sound argumentative, but just curious: what's your actual objection here? Live and let live, right? If he wants to pawn the stuff in 50 years, who cares?

If you are dumb enough to buy a game through them, you'll be waiting at least an entire day for it to download.
When I buy a game through Steam, I can download games @ 2mb/s, which means most games I can get in a few hours, tops.
But yeh, not a fan of Steam's online requirements - I prefer a model like Impulse etc.

If I can figure it out in 15 minutes for my own website, surely they can.
Are you encrypting your passwords with MD5? If so, your site is susceptible to a rainbow tables attack.
If not, and you're using something like salted SHA-1 - gold star for you!

sooooo.... which is it? am i allowed to express or do i have to pull my head in?
thats why i dont listen to "people" like you
If you pretend this comment is instead from John in reply to SpaceCaptain, the irony is awesome.
Seeyas.
Whoa, steady on there Space Captain. People are allowed to express their opinions (I think they call that a "forum").
And yes, the premise of the game is mining and crafting, everything else is negotiable?
Though, if I read the dictionary definition of premise (state by way of introduction), describing Minecraft as a "sandbox world of endless exploration and creation" fits quite nicely. So yeh, pull your head in
(Note: I'd love more story to give more tangible meaning to the survival mode)

I was repeatedly banned from my regular TF2 server for "hacking".
Sounds like you're a big fish in a small pond. Find a server with a higher quality of opponent.
In a way you are griefing by playing on a noob server. You're also not growing your own skillset and I'd make an assumption that you'd get your ass handed to you at higher levels of play.
That assumption was based on my own experiences with CS beta. I used to think I was the bomb, playing on my ISP's server headshots all round, then I tried competetive play and it was a whole new world.
Not sure that having a workaholic boss is that awesome to have
Main thing I like about Impulse - once you've installed a game, you don't need Impulse running to play itthe game. I like.
I have no issue with how I have Impulse setup, it's nice and minimalist.
Main issue is the game selection isn't as great as other channels. I have it installed because of GalCiv2 and Sins.
I usually get better deals on Steam.

If Minecraft isn't in your list of awards somewhere, then you're not for real
