Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

I wanted to bitch slap the cook so bad
I'm gonna have to disagree that morrowind is gorgeous.
Oblivion did have some nice landscape, off the beaten path. I never got far into the main quest or any quest line really. The characters I played the most were just people walking around living off the land. Which was a pretty land!¨
Skyrim beats it by a lot though because of the variation of landscape.
We are all aware of this opinion of yours.
Re: GW, yes you have the gist
1. Do your leapy charge
2. Prepare to melee aoe
3. Watch mages force push the mobs out of your reach right before your attack goes off
: p
Large parts of it are wasteland though.

Buy Issue One! >< Two! >< Three!
NEW! >< Four!
chu's family is running a marathon tomorrow
both games had one thing that annoyed: why the fuck are there so many godamn forts around, and why are like zero of them not manned by bandits or whatever
It was funny watching my friends slowly build up their tolerance for spicy food when we found this great Indian place. The first couple of visits, their noses started running basically immediately; by the end, one of them was asking the waiter to make his biryani extra spicy, and downed it like a champ (albeit a slow champ).
So proud. T_T
Fair enough. I enjoyed how diverse the environments were, and how unique a lot of the scenery was, vs Oblivion's bog standard fantasy setting.

I really hope this is for some kind of build-up to a Hotline Miami prequel.
Still comparing it to Tera; can't help it
15 mobs at a time solo or I feed >:l
Well nothing else has come close to toppling it in terms of accessible gameplay or longevity over the past like, 8 years
Blizz have this MMO thing down to a tee. Other companies should stop trying to reinvent the wheel because they're failing pretty badly
I ...
I feel like booting up freelancer actually, now that we're talking about this.
unless characters are gone now I have a character who is a Rheinland Cruiser captain sitting there
but the most fun I had this last go was exploring in far off, remote, alien and dangerous systems as a, well, freelancer
coming back to civilization with strange artifacts. Hiring out my services as a mercenary until I felt the call of the unknown once again.
Because they chose a big world over a hand crafted world every time. Generic forts or caves with bandits in them are easy to drop in. It's a shame, cause Skyrim has loads of interesting little places. The random extra forts are not needed at all.

but I am so hungry now
when will I go get food
D :
Elder Scrolls get better the more weird they put in it.
so the more they involve the daedra the better. Because that's the interesting part of their setting. Shivering Isles I actually finished the main quest in, because it was cool.
It also makes pooping an adventure!

this story is told from the perspective of "ha ha mom caught me goofing and now she thinks i'm crazy"
but really it just sounds like the dude is crazy
Wow, a meeting from noon to 1:30 AM? That's hardcore.
Like CCGs? Check my CCG's Thread in CF and help me playtest it!
One thing Blizzard really managed with WoW is making it feel snappy. Combat just flows really well. Things happen when I press a button.
Yeah. I may be the only person ever to have this complaint, but I wish that skyrim was bigger, with less stuff.
Or maybe as much stuff, just more empty landscape between them.
1) improve my math skills in preparation of calc 2
2) improve my programming skills, largely through making something novel
3) work on my anxiety or whatever other weird stuff is controlling my mood and retarding some of my study habits
i figure that the main shortcoming i've encountered w.r.t. 1) in the past is that i spend too much time reading. i watch khan academy videos, i read tutorials etc- but then i only do a small number of practice problems. so since that hasn't worked, i'm going to try the opposite approach: get some workbooks (first at an algebra/precalc level and then calc afterwards) and do a whole, whole lot of problem sets. i hope to solve a whole lot of varied problems to challenge my misconceptions and gaps in my knowledge.
when it comes to 2), well, during the school year i just didn't do much recreational coding at all. i was so stressed with schoolwork that i didn't give it any attention. thankfully i already stopped doing the stuff i did with math when it comes to programming: now i just write code. i will be trying to do a lot of it this summer, and generally leaving alone books and tutorials. i want to make something novel- maybe start over my anagram game and its core algorithm in java, rather than wasting time refreshing on python when i could just be thinking about logic and generalized stuff. write some code every day!
the last one is harder and i'm not really sure what to do. i've looked at meditating and tried it a couple times now to not-much-effect. i watched an instructional video but so far i haven't really found any relief. i may just talk to my psychiatrist about looking into anxiety meds. i don't know if that's a great idea, but bootstrapping this one hasn't worked out well so far.
hmmm.
Being old sucks.

I agree that the biggest problem they have is insisting on making so much bland. There is near stuff in the lore. Use it!
I never played shivering isles, but heard good things. Oblivion was just so bad, and it came at a weird time where its terribleness was basically destroying any chances for good RPGs to come out, so I have a lot of residual ill will towards that game.

Crazy chicken kid is my hero.
i've come to the conclusion that i need to take sundays easy
i think i had half a beer yesterday
oh the indignity of aging
They just crafted it a bit wrong, in my opinion.
they should have gone "we need more dungeons for players to clear out" less.
I want places to experience. Not just another dungeon.
(they did have a lot of cool stuff to just stumble across, to be fair. But fuck the crypts and fuck bandit forts.)
I agree completely. I think that is one of the biggest problems with FO3. The "wasteland" is so densely populated. I mean, there is a town like 5 feet from the vault, yet noone in the town ever noticed it?

@BEAST! is also hungover
we had a 20 minute conversation on the phone last night of which he remembers 0 minutes
srsly guys wat da fak
trying to medicate anxiety on top of whatever you're taking for ADD is gonna be a huge challenge. when you were exercising, it seemed like it helped your mood and anxiety - maybe start that up again?
I am super unmotivated
DILEMMA
i've been jogging most mornings which is nice. maybe i should move up to twice a day.
My biggest problem with MMOs in general (back when I had time to play them) is that everything is so weak and slow. If you're fighting something roughly equal to you in level, you can hit it with everything you've got - even skills with an hour plus cool-down, and knock...a third? Maybe? Off its life bar.
Either that, or you are in a group and everything dies so fast you don't even see your contribution.
I prefer playing solo though and feeling like I'm actually powerful, so I'm not really the target audience for most MMOs.
