I should clarify: having played it on PC, it doesn't look all that much better to me. The biggest increase in graphical quality came from the ability to have AA and AF. I mean sure, if you look at them side by side PC looks quite a bit better than the console version, but Gamebryo just doesn't look all that great anyway so without a direct comparison the difference isn't super apparent. Qualifier: I haven't played it since April, so I don't know how mods have advanced since then, but at the time I was playing it with upgraded textures and normal maps and everything. Again, it looks better, but it still doesn't look fantastic so the difference isn't super apparent without a direct comparison.

I haven't been able to figure out how to work the favorites in vanilla Skyrim.

Thanks for running this place. Keeps me sane.

How did making a thumb drive lead to losing all your data?

Just because you can't remove your payment info I don't think it's a good assumption that they'll keep charging the monthly fee. At least if you're actually permabanned.

It's your money, but you might as well buy hl2 now when it's 75% off instead of buying it later when it's only 50%.

Actually, I don't know that it looks all that much better on PC, at least not enough better to justify buying it again if you already own the 360 version. The real benefit to the pc version is the mod support.

*Edit* - Interesting that it actually shows up as a separate game in your games list, rather than just being a patch to the main game. *Edit 2* - Also this:

Portal 2 is already 50% off in the sale, so you could just buy that now. Same with HL2. But enjoy Episode 1.

Though it's not very clear, I think that may just be a temporary ban, as it says "continuing to violate our Terms of Service may result in... permanent account closure." To me that implies it's not permanent yet. Not that that makes it a whole lot better.

It takes a badass bandit to be both a bandit and an outlaw. This message brought to you by the Department of Redundancy Department.

That morphology video, while cool, probably took WAY too much work for the end product.

What do you have against Steam?

I've got: Devil May Cry 3 Half-Life 2 Episode 1 -25% Valve (x2) -50% Valve -50% Codemasters -50% Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee -50% HardReset -50% TwoTribes Pack -60% Victoria II -50% Chantelise I'm extremely willing to trade any of those

Coupons are only valid through March 1, keep that in mind.

Surprised Zelda's not on the Wii list.

We had a big discussion about that in the English vs. English thread. I'll see if I can find it. *Edit* - Here's the start of it: http://forum.pressxo...039 Like I point out in there, not every double o makes the oooo sound. Around here people pronounce the "oo" in "roof" like the one in "took" or "book", rather than the one in "hoot" or "boot".

Yeah, it's entertaining but there's no real difference between levels.

Well right, you'd have to look the surrounding usage. That's how dialects/accents happen. It's "correct" in one and "incorrect" in another, even though they're both using "the same language". Also, found this on another forum and it pretty well explains my usage of a/an with h words:

I would guess that the one Johnny posted has a vent on the other side, but I agree that it needs space for ventilation on the front. Here's mine, Antec Nine Hundred: Aside from the LEDs I don't think it's OTT, everything about it is very functional.

SpaceChem is actually a whole hell of a lot of fun. I wouldn't have thought a game about chemical engineering would be so awesome. Anyway, bought this:

Yeah, with the LRV thing I was just making a (bad) joke. And there's plenty of differences in dialect across the US, so the cut/add thing could very well be regional.

I don't know about technical rail usage, but as far as common usage goes I'd agree with all of those except that around here we would say railroad instead of railway and couple/uncouple instead of add/cut. Also: That's not an LRV! THIS is an LRV!

Did you not already own the games? And if you did can you not still re-gift them?
