South Park RPG
Warhammer wouldn't suck if they did it Total War style. Huge armies, tactics and strategy. You get a really crappy mutation of FPS and RTS instead. I do think it would make a bad RPG though. Warhammer is about the armies and the units.

What you did today
You can bet your ass NSA already knows how to get at that stored data. I don't understand how key-logging helps solve network bottlenecks. I know for a fact that it can be used to rob you though.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
You can now enjoy the imposible inventory with voice activation for every mouse click and navigation. Crouch to crouch in the game world. It wil be hell on your knees, but imagine the immersion.... Awesome !

South Park RPG
A lot of you seem to be missing the point. You can't make a game out of Georgio Armani or House MD. Although they are undoubtedly very well known, they just don't translate to a game.

Piracy
People still want to see movies in a theater, it's just that prices at the cinema have skyrocketed the last few years. They really are shooting themselves in the foot by pushing all of their overhead from expensive 3d hardware onto an ever smaller consumer base. It's going to be available to home viewers soon enough anyway. They will need to cut prices drastically soon or go out of business.

Movies you've seen recently
Get the BBC series with Jeremy Brett. What's the point of Sherlock Holmes if you can't have top hats, canes, cloaks and carriages.

South Park RPG
How can a common first name be censored, that doesn't make any sense.

South Park RPG
Although I have to admit I don't know **** about the family game genre. I don't think South Park qualifies, it's too 'controversial' or whatever.

South Park RPG
Small in computer game terms is what is meant I take it.

South Park RPG
Yes, but that doesn't mean anyone would want South Park the game. I'm sure there is a Simpsons game out there somewhere, has anyone ever played that ?

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
ahh, yes that makes sense.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
It might be the ****ty keymapping I suppose, but I can't reset to default, that function is likely in conflict. Either way, nothing happens when I try.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Alt Gr toggle is not avalable in the console. Can't do [] regardless of what keyboard layout I use. From what I could gather from Wikipedia it should be, it's just not. Whaterver windows is doing to produce the keys corresponding to an American setup, it's not happening inside the console.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
I'll check that out, thanks.

South Park RPG
How the hell do you make a game out of it though. It sounds as doomed to fail as Driving Miss Daisy for Wii

South Park RPG
It's a bit of a shame that they don't have a contract for a big IP though. Of course more of these less intensive projects spreads the risk out a bit. It's just hard to get excited about small time stuff like this. South Park is still hilarious, with the odd dry patch of course. Compare with Simpsons which hasn't been funny for 4 or 5 years.

What you did today
Well, North Americans do sometimes write 31st of December, 2011 as 12/31/11 or 2011-12-31, so it might have been a fair question Indeed. Listen up North America: 28.06.11 = Fine 11.06.28 = Fine 06.28.11 = INSANE Or perhaps I've missed a million other examples where formatting is done out of ordinal sequence? Any sequence where month and day can be confused = insane. It goes : day, month, year. How hard is that. Don't blame the metric system either, it's just common sense. At least the guy didn't steal your bike too. It's something.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
I have about 5 broken quests now and they have stopped updating, quest pointers don't show up anymore. Time to pack it in I think, if they ever patch it for the PC it's unlikely that it wil be retroactive ad I put too much time in just to just start over. Got about half way in the main quest, which was ok I guess.

Moving on
What we have now is a slump, the opposite of a bubble. It stands to reason that if we stop the cycle of boom and bust for good, if such a thing were possible, now would be a bad time to do it.

Music
Prog Rock is awesome. I kinda feel that he fell off and is surviving on 'best of' compilations the last few years though.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
You can enchant a total of 4 items with a total 100 point, or % archery boost - I don't know how that works exactly, not counting two damage enchantments on the bow. Enchantment is just as overpowered as in all the TES games. There is nothing discoverable that even comes close. Similarly you don't actually need any points in magica once you can enchant your gear with dual magic school boosts.

One unintended side effect of selling the austarity measures so effectively is exactly that it's making people think they are helping by not spending. It's not the blitz, being comunally miserable for queen and country is going to make things worse.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The longer I play the more bug show up. My fence keeps asking me if I want to upgrade a POS guild armor I sold ages ago and I can't get to the sell/buy screen to unload my haul. The dark brotherhood quest line is stuck in a loop, the same 3 assassinations who mysteriously come back to life every time I get done with them. The eye texture bug is back, using the latest GFX drivers...

Moving on
All this doomsaying really isn't going to help getting people spending again. A bit too late for that sentiment I know, but still.

Space Travel
Probes cn travel almost indefinitely under their own momentum if they are programmed to slingshot around the orbits of planets. Now imagine thousands of self contained explorer probe-bots able to traverse the atmosphere of planets. Using any nearby probes to relay data back to earth. We need somewhere really interesting to go before attempting a manned mission.
