Faster - Revenge flick with Billy Bob Thornton and The Rock. It wasn't terrible, I guess. There were some fun parts, but there was a lot of odd stuff too. There was an assassin storyline that really didn't seem to fit in at all.

It seems like they are really rolling out the invites for this last month before release, I think I saw them on Fileplanet as well. I really recommend giving it a whirl if you can handle the 20 gig download, it's very polished and worth seeing in action.

Major movie studios do not strictly release super expensive to produce blockbusters, so I'm not sure why gaming studios are expected to do this. Everything points to DS3 having a small team, small production cycle, small advertising budget, etc. There is nothing wrong with that, and apparently Square Enix was satisfied with the sales return.

It's hard to have sympathy for you guys when I have two kids waking me up throughout the night to get them a bottle, rub their back, tuck them in better, take them to the bathroom, etc.

Well it's pretty easy to avoid finding out, just don't be an internet ****wad. edit: decided to censor myself so I don't get banned

Did you ever go to the doctor for feeling 'light headed?' I did. I actually did a blood test earlier this morning before I got sick. It's gotten a lot worse today, but I think that's because I'm getting hit by something else too. Bleh.

After taking off yesterday to watch my son, who was sick, I started feeling not good in class today. I made it through my first two classes, called in a sub, and made a beeline for a bathroom. Now I'm home feeling messed up.

Obsidian redefined the way choice and consequences worked in Alpha Protocol, and that didn't turn out great for them. Maybe safe bets like Skyrim are a good choice for them. And you need to buy like 80,000 copies to really help their numbers, 100 aint gonna cut it.

It's funny, we've had all these security breaches lately with Steam and SOE, but when Bioware tries to be proactive in upgrading their system to be more secure, people whine about the emails.

I wouldn't worry about not playing previous ES games, the story is generic enough to sound familiar to anyone who has read a fantasy book series.

That is concerning about ~Di. I'm really grateful that we have Fio keeping us up to date with Tarna, I wish we had a way of doing that for all the regulars in case something difficult happens in their lives.

That's actually kind of awesome. But it was clearly a glitch that they worked on fixing.

I was impressed at how many of my middle school students were playing Skyrim. It still isn't close to the boys blathering on about MW3, but it was good to see the younger gamers are recognizing it.

I've had this odd light headed feeling for about a week, I'm going to the doctor today for it. I went for a jog last night to see if that helped. I didn't pass out, but it didn't change anything. It's very disturbing.

I'm loving the game so far, I've gone with an archer and I'm having fun smithing stuff. I had an interesting time finding a copy of the game. I went out of town Thursday night with the family, and so I couldn't get my preordered copy. So on Friday I decided to head out and see if I could find a copy in Palm Springs somewhere. I had my laptop with me and figured I could play after the kids went to bed. First I hit Target. They told me they didn't even have a sku for a PC version. So next I found a Best Buy, which was a bit of a drive. When I got there, the lady running the games department told me they just sold the last PC copy that wasn't on hold. I cursed and glared at the huge display of console versions. I needed to go get some groceries, so I decided to hit a Wal-Mart and make that my last attempt. I had little faith, given the result at Target earlier. I got there and looked at the PC section, and nothing was out. I waited in line to talk to an elderly lady working the games section and asked her about it. She went with me back to the section and said if they had it, it would be out. We moved stuff around but it was definitely not there. I said thanks and we walked back out of the electronics area. As I passed the front desk, I saw a box sitting next to a garbage can. Sticking out were two copies of Skyrim for the PC! The was much rejoicing, and then I shared my cool story online with my bros.

I went to Target today and was unable to find a PC copy. I'll try Best Buy later.

I guess you are referring to what you can find in America? Because in India, peasant food is dripping with fat and oil and is so pumped with coriander or other cheap spices that you can't taste anything except that. That sounds delicious!

Apparently this is a big test upcoming, my wife's account got an invite as well.

Peasant food in Mexico and India rocks.

I think it has a lot to do with the fact the game has not had much traction and the gameplay videos are unremarkable. When you start hearing about delays and cuts it is easy to assume the worst.

pretend to fall really ill hire driver to take family to palm springs get skyrim have house to yourself and skyrim enjoy I thought of that! My wife can tell I was thinking about a stunt like that, and so she said I might get lucky this weekend. She knows how to motivate me, what can I say. I'll take 15 minutes in the sack for a weekend of Skyrim any day.

So right after work I'm heading to Palm Springs for the weekend with the family, and we are staying in a timeshare with another family. I'm not really excited about it, sadly, but hopefully I'll get into by tomorrow. It's a 7 hour drive, so we won't get in until after 11 tonight. I'm going to miss the release of Skyrim too

The reviews aren't surprising. The ES games rarely show their warts in the first 10-15 hours or so, we are too wrapped up in the glamorous vistas and epic open world. That is why they are always worth buying, you are going to get some joy out of those initial hours. Thankfully once the shine does wear off, the mod community usually gets to work and fixes all the underlying issues.

Usually about a week.
