I don't understand why people who don't want to read the cosplay etc articles just don't click them? Is scrolling past them that bad?

It's what??? 5 minutes before the dragon attacks the city? I guess that depends how long you create your character for. COD4's intro really sets up the type of game it is, quick, exciting. Skyrim's intro sets up a long, epic, adventure. It represents what you're going to spend the next 100+ hours doing. It fits the experience well. The same thing as the first song of an album. Call of Duty is rock, so you're going to want to start the album with a heavy, fast song. Skyrim, on the other hand, is like a good Bob Dylan record, you're not going to get the fastest, poppiest song right away, you gotta work for it.

COD's intro didn't have a dragon destroy an entire city. Skyrim's did. That's a 1000 times more interesting that a character we don't know, or ever see again (ok I've never actually played COD4 for more than the first 15 minutes...) getting assassinated.

Just pre-ordered a 32GB card via Amazon.ca. EB Games didn't have 32 GB cards in their system. Good news though, for whatever reason the 32 GB card is being released a week early so it'll still have time to ship here before the 22nd. Thank goodness.

My only problem with Minish Cap was that it was a bit too short, but to me it just reminded me of A Link to the Past (but, not as good, of course). You weren't forced to map your route out, you didn't have to repeat a dungeon over, and over, and over again (with a time limit, dammit), and you got to play the game with buttons! I really shouldn't comment on Minish Cap, it's been so long since I beat it, but I've just finished the first dungeon on 3DS and thought it was pretty good. Basically: this post has just turned into why I hate Phantom Hourglass, so much, so very, very much....
-
Ugh Phantom Hourglass was so frustrating, especially considering how awesome the first four portable Zelda's were.
-
They're not as bad as the Red Dead Redemption grizzly bears, who were all over the woods (even in the 1900's running into grizzly's weren't that common) and attacked everything in sight. As someone who deals with bears somewhat frequently: this is not how it happens. 99.9% of the time, they'll run away before you're even aware of them. Skyrim, on the other hand, is in a magical world of elves and dragons, so I'll cut them some slack!!
-
PS3 of course! If it ain't on PS3, I don't play it (.......unless it's on Wii/3DS/PSP).

Craig Ferguson likes it, so that's enough for me!
-
That's true! Her dancing is so terrible, it makes me angry. But her legs... oh her legs... Um anyways-- yeah moving on.

I can't decide if I hate this girl or want to make sweet, sweet, love with her.

I've seen (parts of) two episodes, both Christmas episodes, one was with the latest doctor, something about an airplane pilot in WW2, and the other (which came on right after) seemed like the first episode with the 10th doctor. It had a Christmas tree that started spinning around breaking stuff. I liked the latest doctor episode much better. But considering I'll probably have a hard enough time understanding the accents (my grandpa is Scottish... it took me till I was about 13 to understand what he was saying... it's tough, OK?!), I'll probably started with the 9th doctor, and work my way up, giving me the best shot of understanding what's going on.
-
Ok people! My girlfriend wants to watch Doctor Who, but I have no idea where to start with. I know the show kind of starts over every now and then... do we pick it up with the revival from a few years ago? Or do we start with this latest Doctor? (I really just want to watch the cute red headed Scottish girl.)

I voted DS3, as it's the ultimate evolution of the SNES (and therefor NES) controller. I like the sticks layout, having the d-pad swapped on the 360 controller never made sense to me, I like the triggers better on the DS3 as well. Having a little bit of motion control AND rumble is great too. Hopefully Sony doesn't ever feel the need to mess with it again!
-
Maybe it's because I'm trying to do a bunch of small tasks for the thieves guild, but this is really starting to annoy me...... Loading. I understand, it's a huge game, load screens are inevitable. But when I want to go to the Thieves Guild, do I really need to leave the building I'm in, loading screen, fast travel to Riften, loading screen, push the button, loading screen, finally in 1/2 of the Thieves Guild (and better hope the person I want to talk to is in that part). If load screens are this long, why not let me fasttravel out of a shop in Whiterun, to the inside of places like Dragonsreach, the Thieves Guild, College of Winterhold, etc etc???
-
After playing through the College, Thieves, and Dark Brotherhood sidequests, I really think the Civic War quests were the best of the bunch, at least they were different. Everything else has sort of felt the same.
-
I don't think Nintendo would just stop making Zelda games. And if they did, it's because the games aren't selling AT ALL, in which case they wouldn't wrap the series up, they'd just leave it to die. -
Good points, if Nintendo had released at a lower price point with Mario Kart or Mario Land or Zelda at launch, what a difference that could have made. Good rebound though, hopefully this doesn't prevent them from learning from their mistakes....
-
Pre-ordered my Vita yesterday as well, but they didn't have the 32 GB cards in their system so I wasn't able to pre-order one either.
-
After hearing about this timeline, reading Aonuma's disclaimer, I think they should just admit that they never thought of the timeline till Ocarina. It goes Skyward Sword --> Ocarina then to Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess, and from the adult timeline Wind Waker and it's spinoffs. Those are the only games where they obviously attempted to fit things together. As far as I am concerned, the Oracle games, the original NES and SNES games, Minish Cap, etc are great games, and maybe you can force them in there somewhere, but obviously after Ocraina was the only time they took a timeline seriously, and that's sort of the center piece where everything else is based off.

Marry someone who has a shop, my wife gives me around 1200 G every time I come home (which isn't often). Unfortunately every time I am home she's sitting at the table, alone, drinking. I feel bad because I just drop off some loot, swap some gear, sleep for 8 hours, then leave. Also I haven't made updates to Breezehome, so it's sort of a shithole.
-
Took me forever to realize you had to "push the button". I was confused why the cursor kept leading me there. I wasted way too much time getting lost in the Ratway because of that.
-
At this point, I'm sick of dragons. All I want to do is walk to this location and go through a dungeon, instead I have to fight a dragon or two (sometimes three) on the way.
-
Nah you run into them just as much. In fact, as you level higher and higher, you encounter new types of dragons. Also: sorry, it's not really a MAJOR spoiler, and I didn't say what you have to do to get in that situation, which is actually cooler than the spoiler.

I still don't understand the purpose of the 3G model outside of things like Near. 15 MB download limits, no multiplayer.... I can surf the net on my phone, so I really don't need that from my PSVita. Especially with Shaw Cable launching their wireless networks all over in the next year, as someone who doesn't use public transportation, there's really going to be no places without a wireless network I can use.
