    Skyrim: Why is anyone remotely surprised?

    I don't think many people should be surprised: The strength of the Bethesda games has never been something we can thank the developers for, these games are made great by the additions of the modding communities.

    Why do some games think they need to be realistic?

    I'm annoyed that they haven't gotten realistic enough. The 2-3 hits to kill people in the Battlefield games, for example. They've gotten more realistic because a great many of us are striving for more realism. ... though, unfortunately, there seem to be just as many that really are...

    Do you consider games kiddy or know anyone that thinks this way?

    I do. Pokemon is a good example. Games that trend toward the Bulletstorm/Duke Nukem 3d style also. Juvenile in nature.

    An old school fallout,Is it still possible?

    I'm just throwing this out there because it's related - but I just don't understand the criticism of Fallout 3 and New Vegas (buggy, won't run). In all the time I've been playing both games, I have never had a crash that wasn't mod related and my fault. I don't see where all the "it's so...

    Fallout Mods

    This is my current New Vegas order, but additions happen often - I usually check NV Nexus before I start the game just to see if there is anything I want to add. Using a load order sorter will help, but some manual tweaking is almost always required. New Vegas Mod Manager is the way to go.

    Reasons why we dislike Activision

    Activision will always get a free pass from me because of the awesomeness that was SiN.

    Could Jesus stop bullets?

    He can't even hit a curve ball, let alone stop bullets. ..... according to Serrano, anyway.

    Games with the most annoying fanboys/girls

    I'm not sure about the all time worst, but the worst in recent memory has got to be the Mass Effect crew. The way people have been carrying on, you'd think they are being paid by the marketing department or something.

    RPG Suggestions Please.

    Preaching to the converted. Times are tough for guys seeking a "realistic" RPG approach. Thanks for the tip of Alpha Protocol though, I'm looking into it. .... and I accepted Fallout lasers because I refused to use them, and once 21st Century Weapons is installed the Lasers go the way of...

    RPG Suggestions Please.

    Looking for a new RPG to start playing, but one without heading into the future / space and without too much in the way of magic. I've done Oblivion / Fallouts, Stalker, and have lately been all about Mount and Blade with some mods, but finding them going a touch stale. Any suggestions on...

    what is it with PC and retail?

    They don't sell in store, that's part of the reason. PC gamers don't really buy at the store, I can't remember the last time I bought a game from a retail outlet, it's easly over 5 or 6 years - it's all done online or by Steam. If they don't sell, why would retailers devote shelf space...

    Your Current Minecraft Project?

    I just finished my current project: Find my way home. First, and hopefully last time being lost in Minecraft. Center of the earth, got low on health and started hacking sideways. Enter new cavern. Repeat. Hack my way to the surface and I might as well have been on Mars. 3 and a...

    Canadian online gamers, Steam and X-Box live users are going to get screwed...

    Ah okay, I assumed you meant your 3G data. Not familiar with their land-line policies.
