For me it's the sticks, there's not enough tension on the DS3 and there's a huge deadzone in the middle. I just got an adapter that lets me plug a wired 360 controller into the PS3, solved that problem right quick.

Remember though that "non-traditional" gamers are a large part of Nintendo's market, and they don't tend to be plugged in to video game news like we are, so most of them won't even have heard that it's supposed to be a failure to be put off by that.

It's fake, try the link.

Just finished the Dragonborn quest line. It ended rather abruptly, and anti-climactically.

huh, I've seen enchanted apparel show up in "other", but I've never seen something show up in a completely random category like that. Weird.

lol, actually that's what I did when I told my wife about it. DID THEY FORGET ABOUT COLORADO?

Yeah, I did that too until I got my smithing and enchanting skills up to 100. Until then I was hovering around 10k gold for a LONG time, and then after I got them maxed all of a sudden I was raking in cash like nobody's business.

Why? Modding is part of PC gaming.

Got mine yesterday afternoon, played about 7 hours of Skyrim with it, and I love it. I'm not really sure why people don't like the thumbstick, I mean it does act like an 8-directional pad but that's not the stick's fault it's the game's (since the game is expecting wasd input you have to map the stick to wasd which only allows 8 directions of movement). It takes a little getting used to that it's not true analog movement, but once you do it's fine. I love that using the thumbstick frees up 4 keys directly under my fingers for other functions. My only complaint is that the bottom row of 3 keys is pretty hard to reach, so I wouldn't map any panic buttons to those (I have mine as quick save, quick load, and toggle local map in Skyrim). Another bonus, that I didn't realize it would do when I ordered it, is that it will auto-detect most major games and automatically switch to your custom profile for them when you run the game. Nifty.

I was making a point of selling all my stuff, even waiting the 48 hours for merchants to restock gold, but when I hit 110k gold I was like "screw it"

I've gotten to the point where I have more money than I know what to do with. I don't even bother selling my loot anymore, I just put it in a chest so I can sell it if I decide to in the future.

You know what's disturbing about that Facebook thing? Someone working there had to think of that in order to make it not possible.

I'm not sure why that last jump caught people by surprise, there's a similar jump a little bit earlier unguarded sectionthat should have put them on notice that might happen. Doesn't make it any less stupid, but people should have seen it coming.

I don't know that I've had the option to marry anyone. In fact I wouldn't even know it's possible if it weren't for people talking about it. How does it work, exactly?

Battle mage Jesus has always hated the Empire, ever since he was a small boy and his father was executed for a crime he didn't commit. His mother kind of fell apart after that, and basically stopped doing anything; she'd just sit in her chair and stare into space, barely eating or sleeping. His two older sisters were forced into prostitution to support the family and pay his father's debts. Most of their johns were Imperial soldiers, which didn't help Jesus' view of the Empire. When he was 12 Jesus ran away, unable to deal with the situation that had developed in his home. He lived in the wilderness for a time, killing small game for food and sleeping in trees to avoid the nastier creatures. Occasionally he'd encounter travelers, sometimes trading with them, other times stealing supplies from their camps at night. When he was 14 Jesus killed his first Imperial soldier. It was a courier, travelling alone. He didn't know if something had happened to the courier's companions or if he was just stupid enough to travel alone through the wilds, but when Jesus approached the courier's camp, thinking to steal some supplies from unwary travelers, and saw that it was an Imperial soldier he was overcome with rage and cut the courier's throat as he slept. It felt good. Jesus began to seek out Imperial soldiers, killing them when they wandered too far from their friends. Eventually he became bold, and would attack small bands of 3 or 4 in the night, sneaking up on the one standing guard and then killing the rest as they slept. It was not long before the Empire grew aware of what was happening though, that these killings were related, and sent a company to the woods where Jesus had been living to find and capture him. Jesus fled north to evade his pursuers. Eventually he fell in with a group of bandits, but he didn't like the level of barbarity he found among them. Jesus would steal what he needed if necessary, though he preferred to trade, and though he killed every Imperial soldier he came across he did not hate the common people of the Empire and did not like killing them. After a time he left the bandits and set off on his own again, slowly drifting his way north, though his direction was not purposeful. As was bound to happen eventually, at the age of 22, shortly after he entered Skyrim, Jesus' hatred of the Empire got the better of him and he was captured by Imperial soldiers as he tried to kill all in their camp. Jesus was set for execution, but fate intervened and a dragon attacked the fortress before his sentence could be carried out. He fled, aided by the Stormcloaks, a group of Nords rebelling against the Empire. In his second encounter with a dragon Jesus did not flee, but slew the dragon, and then something strange happened: Jesus absorbed the dragon's soul. Informed by the Nords that this meant he was the Dragonborn, Jesus set off to speak to the Greybeards to learn what this meant. However, Jesus was reluctant to embrace his role as a great hero, or to get too involved with the Stormcloaks. Instead Jesus continued to wander for many months, slaying dragons and Imperial soldiers wherever he found them, and adventuring with no specific path in mind. Now, however, Jesus is beginning to come to terms with his role as the Dragonborn, and wants do to more to fight the Empire than murder individual soldiers unfortunate enough to cross his path. Jesus is now going to embrace the dragon blood, and when he has mastered that power he is going to use it to aid the Stormcloaks in their quest for independence from the Empire.

Even the harrier has wings. That kind of system is fine for take-off and landing, but it doesn't work well for sustained flight and (more importantly for a movie) looks unnatural/unrealistic. That said though, we've seen little of it, and depending on how they do it it could still work. For instance, if it's like this kind of thing: where the entire turbine assembly rotates, allowing vertical thrust for sustained flight, then I think it could work.

Yeah, the helicopter-like part was really the more important part. It just doesn't look like a plane, v-tol or otherwise.

Oh, okay, that makes sense. I was trying to connect it to iPhone and getting nowhere...

Mine's an Android so I don't know what the derogatory name is for that. Also, I have never heard "iTampon" before, and I'm not sure I get it. I mean "Crackberry" sure, it's a play on words and the addictiveness of "smart" devices, but "iTampon"...?

I think that Bat-Wing design would have worked a lot better for some v-tol helicopter-type craft. Like this kind of thing:

That's actually why I used it. I didn't know if the products other people bought (especially across the pond) would be just exactly the same as what I get, and therefore whether the cooking instructions would be the same. I figured everyone can just cook it according to whatever package they get.

Not sure if intentional, but upvoted all the same. lol, that was my tablet weirdly auto-punctuating and me not noticing until just now.

I'm confused, what's wrong with "follow instructions on the package"?

So, 60 hours into the game and I think I'm finally ready to seriously tackle the main quest... though I'm still a little unsure whether I was to do the Stormcloak quest chain first.

I didn't especially like or dislike that boss. Though in general I prefer to deal with larger numbers of normal enemies rather than one super powerful one. Course I love Shadow of the Colossus so that's not true 100% of the time.
