Sounds like a good approach. I often make my characters retain similar physical characteristics, but that can get a bit boring. I switched it up a bit with Skyrim when I decided to play as a Khajiit named after my recently departed cat. I found it a bit freeing, actually, and played in a different manner than I…

Ha. That sounds amazing.

I'd agree with this in most cases, except for Demons Souls - goddamn, that game makes uggos with so little effort.

Nice. Seriously, the modding community for the Bethesda games just make it hard not to make everyone gorgeous.

Saw this yesterday in the NeoGAF thread yesterday, and it's still making me laugh today.

My Shep looked pretty similar - arguably handsome (until he smiled). Made for some pretty awkward flirting.

I had a blast with DA2 - it was flawed, sure, but still a lot of fun. Easily worth $10. The DLC on the other hand...

See, this is one of the failures of Origin - they don't put DLC on sale.

I couldn't help myself, and named a pair of blades I crafted in Amalur, "The Ballad of Ice and Fire."

I sure have missed the old starring-bashes of the Comment of the Week.

Posted a bunch of other disassembled household appliances today (or maybe yesterday):

I think the last time I had a reaction like this to a game, I was pretty young, but it was the same feeling.

It's an advance review copy probably, but I getcha.

Oh my. That grid section was gameplay?

This is an excellent example. My roommate and I played Skyrim on PS3 while I played it on PC for a number of weeks, and he was envious of my version.

The lowball rumor is the one I'm referring to. I'd like them to be wrong! As everyone has pointed out, a low-end GPU does not equal low-end visuals with a console, but still, it'd be nice to see a somewhat beefier chip than the one rumored, considering how fast tech advances, and how long till the 720 releases.

True. But while they're doing fine, they could be better - which, of course, is the point of the 720. At the same time, it would be nice to see them using a slightly beefier GPU, just because tech ages so quickly.

If only! I completely agree. The one they're rumored to use is... very unambitious? And will be incredibly outdated by the time the 720 is released.

Hahhaha. Hearted, friend. Hearted.

Yeah, exactly. It grows on you, but by the time it has started to grow on you, you're like... well shit... I kind of wish I had paid attention to all those names you threw at me in the first few hours of gameplay that for some reason all started with 'A.'
