By that rationale all quests are FedEx. At least I can't think of a quest where all you have to do is stand still. Edit: To make things clearer

Movies You Have Seen Lately
3 Iron This is a movie I saw last year but as I didn't post anything about it at the time I thought I'd do it now. In a nutshell it's the story of a guy who breaks into other people's homes and lives in them for a couple of days while the owners are away. The film has much more to it than the basic premise, though. See it now!

Silent Hill movie
It's a movie based on a game and will all know where those end, but this looks like it could work. And like everyone already said the trailer looks somewhat impressive.

Build a PC for peanuts
That Asrock motherboard is the one I got about a month ago. I'm rather pleased with it and it was very cheap. Plus, the onboard graphics card is good enough for me to manage until I can afford a proper PCI-E graphics card. Surprisingly it handles Rome: Total War quite well.

Movies You Have Seen Lately
I just saw V and was pleasantly surprised. It's kind of hard to sa why, though, as the dialogue was a bit pretentious and the narrative not as tight as it should. I enjoyed watching it and it felt like more than the sum of it's parts. Perhaps it was the ending: it wasn't particularly surprising but it felt quite fulfilling.

Oblivion First Impressions
I'd like to remind people that everyone(including me) liked Morrowind at first. Lets hope the same thing doesn't happen with Oblivion.

Pics of your games: Reloaded
That was one of the things that annoyed me the most in Morrowind. The models and animations were awful by any standards and when compared with the beautiful world graphics it just made everything seem silly. It's like one half of Bethesda's team is composed of talented artists and programmers and the other half is a troupe of retarded monkeys.

Hell no. That was also my poll answer.- Oblivion First Impressions
I suppose "hate" ian't right word. A better way of putting things is that I resent Morrowind. It was a game that I really wanted to like and invested time in only to come away empty handed. I guess that's my fault though. To be more specific about why I dislike Morrowind in comparison to Daggerfall, there's one thing that really annoyed me. Before Morrowind came out I remember reading about it being smaller than Daggerfall. I reasoned that that could be a good thing because (I thought) that would allow Bethesda to deal away with the randomness of the previous game and make a smaller, but fuller and more fleshed out game world. Instead Morrowind ended up being smaller and emptier than Daggerfall. What I liked about Daggerfall was the sense of having a huge sandbox to play in and do whatever I want. What I didn't like about Daggerfall was the genericness and repetition of the gameworld. So Morrowind did away with I liked about Daggerfall but didn't fix what I didn't like about Daggerfall.- Your favorite drink

The two bigger brands are Sagres and Super Bock. Personally, other than Czech beer and Guiness I can't say I've ever found beer that I liked as much as the two portuguese brands. Oh, and Lapin Kulta was also pretty good. As for bad beers, American, Spanish and Swedish are the worst. Particularly Spendrups. Funny sidenote: In Portugal, a lot of people swear by either Sagres or Super Bock, and won't touch the brand they don't like. Anyway, my mom once did a market survey on beer and found out that nearly everyone who was dedicated to one of the beer brands, actually couldn't distinguish one brand from the other when doing a blind test.- Oblivion First Impressions
I really liked Daggerfall and hated Morrowind. What would you say about Oblivion to someone like me?- Vista delayed 'til 2007
I'll make Lonewolf's words mine: Good. Means I can hold off on upgrading for DX 10 for that much longer.- Starforce enforces DRM by instant reboot!
If Starforce wants to justify piracy they're doing a fine job. Anyway, the only game on that list that I own is Silent Storm. Because of it I have a UAService7.exe permanently loaded into memory. - Who here has an Xbox 360?
