  1. The modding community is so active with Skyrim I think I might wait and pick it up again after playing through Batman and Assassin's Creed, give them a chance to really get some improvements made.

      Most of the current models are aesthetic though. Until Creation Kit comes out there won't be much in the way of new content.

      I know, but I might as well let them work on improving the aesthetics.

      Think of all the children you could kill.

  2. Generally if the sitting president is eligible for reelection (ie they haven't hit their term limit) they automatically get their party's nomination so there's not a big primary run on that side. So this year Obama gets the Democratic nomination automatically.
  3. I actually did like the shield-bash counter mechanic quite a bit.
  4. I also didn't use the shield much because every time you use your sword you put the shield down and have to manually bring it back up.
  5. Now I can't decide whether to go back to Skyrim or to start in on Arkham City. :/
  6. I'm like WAS, I only use it for projectiles b/c I'm terrified of breaking it (even though I have the self-repairing shield and have fully upgraded it).
  7. I'm going with the Stormcloaks because at the beginning of the game the Empire was going to execute me, only stopping because of a dragon attack. I make it a general policy not to help people who try to execute me.
  8. I really like upgrading equipment too. I do NOT like the limited inventory space for "items" though. I have bought all the pouch upgrades, so I have the full 8 slots, and I still don't like having to choose whether to use my upgrade bomb bags or not due to limited space. Also, why the fuck does my shield take up a slot in my pouch when it's equipped? It's not in my pouch, it's on my fucking back! Bring back hammerspace goddamnit!
  9. Oh, I haven't played the DS games. In Twilight princess though there are a couple in jars an things, but if you do the Cave of Ordeals every 10th floor you get to basically turns one of the Spirit Springs into a fairy fountain. From what I read though there simply aren't any fairy fountains in Skyward Sword at all.
  10. I quite liked it, though I will say it's structure seems more suited to a video game.
  11. Yeah, I don't really understand why Notch feels the need to make it into a "game". Everyone seems perfectly okay with it just being a toy.
  12. 50% off on Origin. I am a weak, weak man.
  13. No no, I don't mean they should have gone with the traditional pointer tech, I just wish they had used the sensor bar to dynamically keep track of where the TV is without me having to hit the down button to recenter it. Like when you first boot the game and it says "point the Wii Remote at the center of the screen and press A" so it knows where the center of the screen is; it's using the sensor bar for that. I wish they'd just done that continuously, on the fly, without user input. I don't want them to have used the traditional pointer, I just want them to have used Motion Plus with the sensor bar as a reference.
  14. Was checking my Amazon wishlist for things to add to get super saver shipping on my Katamari Forever purchase, and saw that the JP bundle had dropped like 60% from when I added it, and Suck Punch was 40% off.
  15. As a Christmas present for the wife:
  16. Also the Temple of Time was flipping awesome. Boss was cool, but too easy though.
  17. I figured out what the problem was with the aiming: it's not that the Motion Plus was losing track of the TV, it's that every time you go into an aiming item (like dowsing or the slingshot or whatever) it assumes that when you first entered that mode you were pointing the Wiimote directly at the center of the screen. Now that I know that and can make sure I actually AM pointing it at the middle of the screen when I enter those modes it's not nearly such a problem. I still think it's stupid and that they should have used the sensor bar for reference, but at least now it's not face-punchingly frustrating.
  18. I like that I'm not the only one who figures up gold/weight ratios when looting. I don't keep the books, there's far too much for me to do in the game besides sitting around reading. I check them once to see if they give me a skill or something and then put them down, unless they're a high gold/weight ratio in which case I sell them.
  19. Sadly that letter will be filed under "Recycle Bin." If enough people skip out on the game or buy it when it's $20 or less companies may get the idea ... but I doubt it. I like to hope that at least one person might read it...
