    DELETED

    I play Dark Souls regularly on PC. It's amazing. Get it. Corven's post is great, too, although I'd add you should check out the nexus site for Dark Souls mods. darksouls.nexusmods.com It mostly has texture packs. I think the only issue you'll have is occasionally running into a...

    Poll: Should You keep your old consoles when the new generation comes?

    I voted no, although it is likely a different reason than the ones given here. I quit console gaming a few years ago when my Xbox 360 failed to satisfy me. Instead, I built a gaming rig. Just finished a new one. I'm much happier with it than I've been with any console.

    Anime That Makes You THINK?

    Trigun. The ending was so surreal when I realized Vash adopted Knives' policy of killing the spider. What's more symbolic is Vash abandoning his red coat, which was a representation of Rem and her ethics. That made me question Vash and his entire journey. Again. After 20+ episodes of...

    What annoys you most about a person?

    What annoys me most about a person? Usually that quality becomes evident around the time it speaks, and the evidence fades about when it ceases.

    How many hours have you devoted to Skyrim?

    600. I have substituted most, if not all, gametime with Skyrim for the past year.

    Old Games you remember playing but can't remember the name of.

    Sounds like Lufia I. In Lufia I, you play as the son of the leader of the group you're referencing. In Lufia II, you play as the leader of the group you're referencing. I recently replayed them on an emulator. I really, really recommend them to you for a great, funny nostalgia trip.

    Trailers: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Dragonborn Trailer

    Fantastic. I'll continue conquering the Empire by taking Fort Frostmoth. This could not be more appeasing news.

    QUICK I need to choose one of these games!

    Empire Earth 2! It has great replayability. What's not to love about storming your enemy's beaches with 500 hoplites, too?

    Starforge - The next Minecraft?

    I'm impressed with all of this, especially the shooting. It's so much more cinematic. This game looks amazing.

    Poll: Which enemy/enemy type in Skyrim do you hate the most?

    No. I played on the highest difficulty from 1-60 with all of my characters, and it hasn't been a challenge. I quite love the game-- love it to pieces-- but that adoration comes from a fondness of the game's aesthetic.

    Poll: Skyrim- Did you kill Paarthurnax?

    This is like asking Bowen, "If you were in a world in which you could kill Einen, yet keep Draco alive, would you still kill Draco?" The answer would be no. Paarthunax. High King. 2012.

    Convince me to buy Skyrim instead of something else.

    I recommend Skyrim simply because you can replay it. I've spent 240ish hours in the game, and still climbing. I can't find that in any other game outside of Minecraft, mmorpgs, Fallout, or Elderscrolls. If one can make 60$ stretch over several days of playtime, as opposed to 8-20 hours of play...

    Poll: Which enemy/enemy type in Skyrim do you hate the most?

    I'm playing on the highest difficulty. I have three characters above 60-- a quintessential 'paladin,' wizard, and rogue. My paladin hits for about 230 with his 2h mace. He also ignores 70% of armor, so there is little mitigating his mace. (Although min-maxers will say NPCs typically don't...

    Poll: Magic in Skyrim

    Spells' damage/effects are set, although melee and archery schenanigans scale. One can get enchantments to increase the damage of melee/bow damage, but not spell damage. This makes playing a mage a nightmare on higher difficulties, especially with a low health pool when compared to...
