MUHAHAHA. You're busted. You guys made a mistake. So in UK land this is called a tap. In US land it's a faucet. However that clear blue liquid coming out? It's tap water in both. I'm also informed this is a tap too. If you're going to replace English words with your own at least have some kind of consistency

Oh I'm aware of the resentment. Though the scots I know in person are all generally fine n dandy. I do have a feeling Scotland isn't aware of how small it is. It's got a 10th of the population for one. Their economy does rely somewhat on oil, which won't be there forever. Moving to the Euro I'd guess would be suicide. The bonus for mainland countries moving to the Euro is that it simplifies intra-border buying/tourism/etc. But scotland is bordered with England which uses the pound. Wales I've a feeling has no option in the matter, it's part of England if my history serves me well. Though I've a feeling Wales enjoys the status quo. Scotland has a brand up its backside n always will.

Yes it has a border, it's just there's no border control or much, you just drive past a "Welcome to Scotland" sign n voila. It's all Britain, it's assumed you've got a britsh passport or some thumbs up for being in the UK.
-
Yeah I was wondering for like borders, money wise, political relations, etc.

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/tomchiversscience/100128559/republicans-turn-their-back-on-the-enlightenment/ So this was on twitter earlier, maybe of interest to some. Especially the 180 of Gingrich.

So I'm to understand our Dear Prime Minister has pissed off an entire country. Scotland of all nations. So what exactly is going on? I'm to understand Scotland is wanting independence from the union, but Cameron put some kind of ultimatum on it of 16 months which both Scottish and English MPs are not happy with. There was something about the Olympics committee which certainly threw a spanner in my understanding of it all. May I ask: What would Scottish independence mean. For them and UK?

I'm not saying it's not legit, just saying it's been a yo-yo and I wasn't gonna move thread til Blizzard totally put it up on their site as coming to all three platforms.
-
Sorry, I wasn't mean I'm not moving it cos I'm lazy, I'm not moving it because this is the third or so time that a console version has been brought up. I'm waiting for a more official announcement. Especially as this come days after a ton of sites reporting on a 1st Feb release date because Best Buy listed that date. Because an electronics store is the epitome of game news sources.

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kinectforwindows/archive/2011/11/22/kinect-for-windows-building-the-future.aspx - Since it fails to mention it here, it's $250.

I wouldn't doubt that. I always thought Microsoft were making a big mistake not doing a simultaneous release for exactly that reason.
-
Well, the Kinect for 360 is pretty gimped because budget issues. Maybe $250 will turn out to be good news for the device. I don't want it on *my* PC, but it doesn't take a lot of creativity for me to think of awesome uses for it.
-
It's $250 cos it isn't subsidised by games. Main change is the ability to focus 50CM away.

Well considering the original deal was Bethesda gets to make new Fallout games and Interplay keeps their old ones and make an MMO, I think it's somewhat bullshit that Bethesda can change their mind and that they want everything Fallout related and can sue, and win, it all from Interplay.

http://www.vg247.com/2012/01/09/bethesda-secures-fallout-mmo-rights/ Well shit. Basically Bethesda(zenimax) now has complete rights to all things Fallout, with exception to Fallout 1, 2 n tactics which Interplay get to keep til 2013.
-
It's not meant to be called that though because it wasn't the "dark ages". It's down there with teaching kids that folks used to think the world was flat and the idea of chastity belts. It's all modern(ish) bullcrap.

SF legend brought up Catchphrase in steam chat. This clip instantly came up I bet most UK folks don't even have to watch it to know what happens.

If I end up above one it's usually much easier, I'll just pluck at them with arrows (until their retarded path finding kicks in and they end up two regions away trying to find a route up to me, never to be seen RRRAOOARRR OH JESUSUSUSUSUSUS Z - 5 LMB RMB DIE!! LMB RMB 1 RMB Z ..few thank fuck. and loot.) If I end up with one right next to me when I'm walking along a path the fire breath tends to do the trick. Or force push it into/off a cliff. Of course most of the time I Shout at it and the weather gets better.

Hence my attribution of the quote to M'aiq. I've a feeling that it's something that didn't get properly implemented in the game. Giants won't attack unless you get real up close, or start flinging arrows and fireballs their way.
-
I'd guess console. I do agree it's an annoyance to get into thieves guild whichever entrance you use, but it's not so much an annoyance of loading screens since at most we get just a bit of rolling fog n mist. Only on fast travel n loading do I tend to get the full "This is a bear, they don't attack unless provoked - M'aiq" type stuff.

Yeah the previous jumps are about 30-50. In fact it goes 365 - 339 - 294 - 252 - 121 - 1 day (Turns out there is a big jump, but only just before. Still after 4 jumps of about 40 days you might not be paying too much attention at that point) On PC they've made it more obvious my shifting when you commission your army to day 121, so as to make it a tad more obvious I think. It's still not like screaming bells n whistles of "if you activate this quest now and you have 4.9million in your personal treasury in order to get that key, you're fucked"

I'm bouncing between Arkham and Steelport(Saints Row III) Both are certainly having their moments. So good to be back in the Arkham games, feel so gooood.
