I've been a developer for over a decade. Sure, my published titles are nowhere near on Bethesda's scale, but the simple fact remains that I would make sure players can perform the basic functions of the game before I sign off on my work. It doesn't matter what order someone does something in, he's using an example…

No, if anything, that quote lends weight to my point. This is what the game is trying to do and failing. It's not trying to do anything you wouldn't expect. I'm trying to bash anyone. I'm just saying I expect a game to be capable of the basics if you're going to sell it. take your fanboy attitude some place else.

No, he's essentially giving that as an example for why some people might have difficulties running the game. I don't see anything in that quote that I would consider not "just playing the game". Fair enough if he said some guy had collected every single cabbage in the game and put them all in one room. That's a fair…

Wait, wait, wait, wait. You can port saves between 360 and PC..?

"We've got one guy who has seven dragons on the other side of the world, and a siege about to happen in this city and another 20 quests running." So, in other words, he's playing the game? How dare he?

It's coming whether we want it or not. It's not as if the US isn't knowing for doing what it wants despite what's right. We can kick and fight for only so long. It will happen.

So they're saying there was a blackout and their UPS also failed at the same time? I'm not entirely sure I believe that...

I bought Skyrim during the sale this week or last week, which was my first digital purchase on PC. I managed to play it once and then the next time, I got a message saying "the steam servers are too busy to service your request" or some other crap. I spent a while troubleshooting online. You can bet I'll think twice…

That makes no sense. The CPU is working the same to decode the video regardless of what resolution of the desktop is at. What the hell sort of computer are you running in this day and age that struggles with displaying video? I've got a £200 netbook that displays 720p video with no issues.

If you're referring to pixel response time, I doubt that's true.

Lag with a wireless mouse has nothing to do with anything except the wireless mouse. The most likely scenarios are: too much distance between mouse and receiver, low batteries, interference from something else on the same wavelength and faulty hardware. It's certainly got nothing to do with that connection type you're…

You lowered the screen resolution to "tax your CPU less"..?

If the screen is a 1080p screen, then all games will be running at the same resolution. I honestly don't understand your objection. Besides, why would anyone be sitting at the other side of the room from their computer monitor?

That means you hate half the people commenting here. Speaking for myself, in that you judge someone based on their choice of display unit, the feeling is mutual.

I disagree with this and it comes across are poorly thought out to me. I have one 23inch monitor sitting right next to a Phillips 32" HDTV and both are perfectly usable by any stretch of the imagination. I keep outlook and other "always on" apps on the monitor and use the HDTV for everything else, including gaming and…

At the time they're talking about, the US was tiny. It would have been easily conquered had Britain so wished.

Well, the US is the only one to have a wiki article on human experiments as the number one hit on Google. Must mean something.

Correction: "Don't think for a minute that the US government has stopped doing things like this".

Got you. Maybe that should be made a little clear in the article. It seems I'm not the only one misunderstanding what's going on here. Thanks for taking the time to clear it up for me.
