Too late for that.

I think it might have to do, in some part, with the TYPE of RPG people like to play. Beth has always produced open, story lite, sandbox games. They aren't for everyone, and it's understandable that on this forum, where folks are more likely interested in strong story, strong quest games, that there won't be many Oblivion fans. Actually, I'm a big fan of open world games, and the problem with Bethesda games isn't that they're light on plot but that the worlds are so poorly realized. Really, the only open thing thing about Oblivion is that you can walk right, left, forward and back. Regardless of where you go, you'll find the same quests, the same dungeons, the same loot, the same people. What kind of open ended, exploratory RPG is that?

I'd trust them on that about as far as I can throw them. LAN support doesn't really affect piracy in any meaningful way, and they are trying to turn Battlenet into an actual money maker.

I don't think this is about the piracy. I'm guessing they are just trying to get more people on BNet. It still seems like a retarded decision, though.

I read a bit of the first one at a bookstore, and it struck me as pretty dire writing, just from the prose style.

That just means that newly enlisted soldiers and officers can't smoke. That's fine. They should be able to choose whoever they want.

Wait, are they banning soldiers from smoking even if they are off duty?

What?

A chunk of my childhood just arrived in the mail, so I'll be playing Street Fighter.

Even Twilight's lead actor thought the books were rubbish.

Because if you had actually been in anything remotely resembling a combat outfit, you'd know better than to go around pontificating with these "facts" of yours. And considering that there are cases of world-class athletes who smoke, I have a hard time imagining you have a clue at all. What, dart throwers?

I now hate you with every fiber of my being. Sorry.

Is there just one mouse hack? Because the one I used made everything too easy due to the enemies being slow as molasses.

While not a personal favorite, it seems a bit silly to label the best selling movie ever as the worst movie ever made. Sales don't necessarily correspond to quality. Look at something like Wii Sports- its one of the best-selling games ever made, but its a steaming pile of crap... No.

Though I warn you. It gets extremely frustrating and difficult at times, especially if you run out of ammo or can't quite hit some sensible spots. I played the Wii version, and I can't imagine how to play that on the PC. Are you using a gamepad? It's piss easy with a mouse.

Unless, of course we already don't smoke to begin with.

I'm betting a sudden hacking cough while trying to dodge bullets has a definite effect on a soldier's chance of dying. Edit: not to mention the general effect of reduced stamina

It doesn't feel good, at first. It tastes bloody awful and is even painful the first few times, so that's a load of bollocks. If people mostly smoked because it felt good and relieved stress, they wouldn't smoke at all. Peer pressure is the main reason why people begin to smoke tobacco.

By that rationale, the military shouldn't even bother with training the soldiers, as they're going to be sent to their deaths anyway.

It's a specific organization where the health of its members is very important to its function. The question is why smoking isn't already banned in the military.

Androids... is PKD, not Asimov

THE NED?

Mount and Blade seems pretty awesome.
