I appreciate the fact that I can start playing out of the box. Not to mention how great cordless controllers and decent chairs feel after bending over a keyboard for so long. It's just so...well, fun is the primary factor I base my choices of games and on consoles; there's lots of fun. There really isn't anything else into it. I'm mainly a pc dude, solely because I don't own a console, never have, but the times I play on Xbox or PS2 at my friends my enjoyment is enormous.
I won't vote.
Lucius is right, for once.
Call me a heathen, but I can't imagine God would agree with any of that bullshat if he really is the epitome of perfection. It can't be so that anything "out of the norm" goes to the Warm Place. Otherwise Hitler's in heaven for using the ultimate doctrine in uniformity: just kill everything that doesn't apply to John Doe's terms on what is normal.
Laddies and lassies, I'm disappointed. The month I decide to hit the road, you go and liquidate our means of existence. Well, that which has once died, will not die again. Or so I've heard. Go bonkers, people.
I'm not kidding. Hidden valleys and windswept lone mountain fortresses, with the odd rural farming hamlet here and there has always been my vision of Gothic. And anyway, I imagine the biggest human fotress/capitol is under siege by orcs, and this time there are no discarded battering rams , so the obligatory wet G3-fan dreams of a city the scale of Athkathla can probably be discarded.
