This comes to mind.

Is his acting actually okay though? While he's apparently a great guy, and clearly an excellent body builder, that doesn't necessarily mean he's a good actor.

98% sure we're not getting a game called Redguard, since, y'know, we had one. We've also had two human provinces in a row, so it's time to go Elven again or swing for the fences with a Beast race locale.

As far as release times go, the math just doesn't add up. The principal development time for Fallout 3 was about two…

Eh, Fallout and Elder Scrolls are different enough that they're not really going to step on each others toes. The overwhelming majority of a game's profits are generated during the first few weeks of sales, so as long as they space the two by four months or more there'd be next to zero cannibalization. Just as an…

Whoops, you're right; looks like I confused the announce date with the release date.

As for what Bethesda is up to, I think they've grown large enough to handle multiple titles, so the lack of Fallout doesn't necessarily worry me. I'd say the longest we're going to go without an announcement is probably a year and a…

As much as I want this project to die, no, it didn't.

Elder Scrolls games launch every ~4 years; Morrowind was 2002, Oblivion was 2006, and Skyrim was 2011. They weren't going to change that. As Adam Stacey also noted, it was a totally different studio set up for the discrete purpose of creating this MMO. We should see…

Here's an idea, instead of lobbying for Nintendo to sell you the smaller 3ds, why not lobby harder to get their retarded region-locking removed? That way you can just order your Japanese-spec 3ds whenever that launches rather than wait for them to get around to selling it wherever you live?

Seriously, region-locks are…

Seven deadly sins trailers for CK2; greed, to be specific.

What have you tried? You should be able to get the base game (feudal Christian rulers) down in a few simple runs.

First game? Ireland in 1066. You're almost completely safe from Vikings and no one is going to take your stuff but other Irish people. Learn all your basic family management, investment, and expansion…

Megatron turned into a handgun small enough for other Decepticons to fire him. Size is wildly irrelevant in G1.

I guess he never took it out? In which case, shouldn't it be penetrating rather than penetrated?

I can understand complaining about the storyline(s) in a game and feeling like they get in the way. That can happen in almost any game. What I don't get is not really wanting a story at all. Any story.

See, I'm the opposite. I would've preferred Fem Revan and Male Exile; mostly for shipping reasons.

Bastilla was awful. Carth was okay. Ergo, female Revan should've been the canonical variant. Seriously, not was she a) a total bitch and b) worthless, but she was the most questionable romance I've ever come across in any…

No.

Officially, Idris has generally maintained that he doesn't want to be James Bond because he doesn't want to be "the black Bond", which is understandable. Furthermore, he's too damn old to start a Bond stint; he's 42, Craig is 46. Yes, that's a good four year difference, but Craig has been James Bond for 9 years. By…

No, I mean that some captains are little more than named grunts and other captains are ridiculously difficult if they get the right sets of buffs and nerfs. Weapon master makes them immune to finishing moves (against captains, your execution attack only finishes them if their health is low, but it does remove a…

Maybe you never got the right randomly generated orc captain in the right base?

Weapon master + quick turn + invulnerability to arrows + fears that you can't really capitalize on = a hell of a slog fest. Naturally this takes place in one of the larger strongholds so you get lots of extra mooks to fight as well.

With the way the DLC is going, I have a feeling that Monolith accidentally'd a Game of the Year and doesn't really know what to do with it.

To that point, I have to wonder how their next project will fare - Middle Earth-based or not. Going over the Wiki page, this is a pretty obscure developer (FEAR being the only…

Same.

Also, I'm thoroughly disgusted that Phil mentions how some people are "MMO fans" and are "feel it was hampered by focusing on the story." I mean, fuck, these MMO's are like virtual casinos set up to eat all your time and money.... the fact that someone wants more naked cynical money-grabs to be present in a game…

While fast travel is integrated into the map, I don't let it reflect on the map itself. The map, in and of itself, is excellent. Fast travel does, however, ruin immersion and reflects lazy design for lazy players. The lack of good directions in game is also pretty shit. The map should be your back-up, not your go-to…

Oh, don't get me wrong, I loved Morrowind. Even with all it's flaws, it's still the best TES game IMO; Skywind literally can't come fast enough.

And yeah, the map(s) were gorgeous. I still have mine after all these years.
