@Foxhack: Neither is anyone else. There are literally hundreds of books filled with tax laws, and lawyers who train in this kind of thing will spend years becoming just familiar enough to be able to find the applicable laws when needed, because actually remembering them all is next to impossible.

@Grahmo: If you're getting a hand cramp from that, you're doing it wrong or doing it too much. Either way, you need help.

@Y-bot: It must have taken practice to turn a debilitating illness into an injury.

I'm pleasantly surprised they are taking a more negative view of this whole thing, decrying video games yet again for ruining peoples' lives. The news piece makes it pretty damn obvious it was her own fault for not being careful, which is totally true. You can get injured doing any sort of physical activity; bouncing

@Archaotic: I dunno why, but I just get easily distracted by side quests. I think it took me 15 or 20 hours with my first character in New Vegas to make it to the strip. And, I abandoned that character before beating the game to make a new one, because I didn't like the choices I had made with my skills. I think I

@Knoxximus Togo: Because too many people who play the devil's advocate don't have strong, reasoned arguments. They just go "thats dumb ur stupid lol" or something equivalent. I like pointing out opposite viewpoints, to provoke thought and discussion, and maybe give somebody insight as to how others view the world.

@a-rural-juror: Nope. I've had technical problems with Bethesda games in the past, but I've still always had a ridiculous amount of fun with them despite any glitches or screw ups. They don't make perfect games, but they sure do make fun games.

@ZFK: For me, it's almost the exact opposite. I'll spend inordinate amounts of time screwing around doing side quests, and never actually get around to finishing the main quest. I mean, it took me almost 2 years to finish Oblivion, which has a stupidly easy main quest. I just never felt like doing it.

@Knoxximus Togo: I personally agree, but I know a lot of people that can't be bothered to have anything more than a phone, even if they like playing games or listening to music. Instead of having a dedicated device for it, they use a crappier version built into something else.

@Duuuuuuude: The official FWE site is here, if you want more information. It's a huge mod, that adds a ridiculous amount of content. If you have Fallout 3 for PC, I definitely recommend it. There are quite a few overhaul mods, but none are quite as extensive or useful as FWE, in my opinion, so I'm very happy they are

@NeöStarr: Yep. The entire thing is being designed from the ground up as module. You can check out this video to see how it works - using the New Vegas Script Extender they add a menu that lets you toggle any feature you want on or off.

@Knoxximus Togo: Then you have two devices, where you could just have one. That's the appeal for most people, I think. Less devices means less chargers to take on trips, less things to remember, less space taken up in pockets, and just overall more convenience.

@lucasnathaneiltaylor: That oval looking thing in the center is the joysticks. It's a touchpad that functions as the left and right joystick, and no, I don't know how well it works. Hopefully it's at least as good as the PSP's analog nub, though it's hard to imagine it being worse.

Some PC players of Fallout 3 might remember the FWE mod, or Fallout Wanderer's Edition. For those who don't know, it was essentially a total overhaul of all the systems, changing how the game played, and adding in a ton of content, usability, and features. Well the guys who made that are back, and are currently

Marston doesn't need to kill Nico; he just needs to whistle to get his horse back. Then lasso the bastard and drag him until he stops kicking.

@beaker: You can hijack some pretty pimp stagecoaches, but they are all still horse drawn. No motor carriages for you.

@battra92: You should have told him you had some really nice cables you didn't need anymore, and offered to sell them for slightly less than the ones he wanted, then sold him some from Monoprice.

@Fernando Jorge: Depends on what I'm playing. A single player game? No, never, unless I either get stuck in the game, or it crashes. Otherwise I'm playing hours straight.

@imsh_pl: That never gets old.
