Enervation

We drown our sorrows in tea and killstreaks.

You send flowers to your facebook? I think I'm not understanding something. Could always send ASCII flowers in a status update.

Where's the option for "Nothing, it's just another day"? I don't have a girlfriend, and I'm not married, but I certainly don't waste my time balking about it, not when there's money to be made and fortunes to seize.

Are they trying to pass off Daniel as Nathan Drake or something?

=\ That is the worst box art ever. Way to spoil crap before players even open the box.

It's sort of like the same thing McDonald's did when it expanded - they originally had a plan to scrap the Golden Arches, but the economist they hired basically said "no, it's too iconic. People recognize McD's by this symbol alone." I don't think Gawker took that into mind.

You can never really go back to any game if you play it for too long, lol. But it gains that fresh sense of nostalgia as a replacement!

Someone on Kotaku released it, and the editorial staff put it on the front page soon after. I only recall the regions of Skyrim being listed, didn't remember seeing any cities, though I could be wrong.

I have... like. Three DVDs, at the most ten. They're all sitting around somewhere, gathering dust. I don't watch movies very much, so I never torrent them. Movies aren't really my thing.

I noticed the world map. I wonder where the cities are?

Necessary for the complete World of Warcraft experience. I wonder where they're going to hire?

Hello, you. And uh, the guy above, you too. Hello, all of you's.

Are fish and chip shops common in the USA? I only imagine them being popular in the UK. California-wise, fish and chips are practically nonexistent. Not sure about the other states (particularly east coast; I know of a few fish n' chip shops there), but California doesn't seem to embrace it that much. I've had fish and chips before, though to say if they're actually good or accurate to UK fish and chips is probably a whole 'nother story.

EDIT: And the jewel case looks pretty nice. You don't really have to play Morrowind if you want to play Oblivion, though. Sure, there's some references here and there in Oblivion that sort of indicates what happened to the "you" in Morrowind afterwards, but if you're looking for some sort of "continuity" between the games there's not really much to connect them. They're meant to be individual stories, after all, and I think that's what makes the series as a whole great.

I'm not sure if it's the norm, but the highest I've ever gotten with my Firefox up, with around six tabs open, was 150k.

I like how I made a point of "quantity over quality" and you say "not really" then proceed to tell me that Morrowind was a bigger game. It is a bigger world, not that it is a problem. If you're looking for quality over quantity I'm surprised that you're choosing Oblivion over Morrowind because, as Cyber Rat has already pointed out, the dungeons are all the same. At least in Morrowind all of the dungeon layouts were drastically different (Dwemer ruins in particular). Quest-wise, that's up to the person playing the games - I didn't really have a problem in either game with the quests.

Eh, I'm probably leaning more towards TERA myself. Not that I'd probably buy it. At all. The monster known as Guild Wars 2 looms on the horizon, and threatens to engulf all things MMO as we know it.

Games do elicit an emotional response from you, though. I get nerd rage all the time. =|

Attacking journalists is a great way to get into headline news! Oh wait...

Europa Universalis! Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Not really. I think Morrowind had a far more richer world than Oblivion ever did. If you ever see a map size comparison Tamriel in Oblivion is actually SMALLER than the world of Morrowind, in terms of walking distance. I find that particularly insulting considering that the game Morrowind didn't even take place in Morrowind proper (except for Tribunal, I think... but that was just the capital), it took place on Vvardenfell... an island, of all things. I sure hope they make the world bigger. Exploring the wilderness in Oblivion was more of a chore than anything else because there wasn't really anything to look for. And I kinda miss birds attacking me from above! :U

Americans complain about how everything is made in China. Well, guess where all the stuff made in America went. :U

Wow, that's an awful lot, even for Firefox. Have you tried disabling your addons one by one to see if one of those are the problem?

Lots of unaccountable variables to factor in at the moment. And yes, I find it rather odd that most of the munitions being used in Egypt to quell the rebels are actually American hardware. Oh, the irony.
