    What did you just read?

    I just read "Innocence" by Dean Koontz. It was interesting, but kind of preachy.

    I checked. There are no boobs on those sites! Besides, you can actually express an opinion here without really hurting someone's feelings. You know how the kids get . . .

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I am nearly 50, so you can't be much older than me. I've also worked in the gaming industry (Tiger Woods PGA Tour for the PC, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning). So I've got the "age" and the "history of games" under my belt. If you can enjoy TESO, more power to you. But as for me, I tried it ...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    This weekend's beta is a stress test. As for the bugs, I have no doubt that they have already been fixed. That being said, my issue with the game was never about the bugs. My issue with the game is that it is a tedious bore. Anyone who has played through the tutorial will tell you that it is...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    It will, of course, sell well . . due to the fan base of The Elder Scrolls. But I think the game is doomed to failure, for several reasons: - It's not fun - It requires a tremendous amount of initial patience. You can't PvP until you reach level 10. Honestly, I don't think a lot of people will...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I agree with you 100%. I had no problems connecting. The game ran flawlessly. The visuals are nice. The sound is terrific. But fun? I can honestly say that it was a chore playing this game. There wasn't a single "fun" thing I did in the game. In fact, the most fun I had was setting up my key...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Over the two beta weekends I played, I was very pleased with how the game ran. I had absolutely no lag at any time. However, there are lots of people who are getting errors, which result in them being unable to log into the game. Still, as with every game at release, there are bound to be...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    The game looks fantastic on high setting (especially ultra-high). On medium settings, the game really isn't much to look at. You really need a high end machine to see anything special . . and it does look special! However, if you read my previous post . . I uninstalled the beta a short time ago...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I just uninstalled it a few minutes ago. Yes, it's beta. Yes, it's free. But it's tedious as hell - and it's no fun at all.

    Hey, did anyone loot any urns yet?

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I have no experienced any disconnects. I have started the game 3 times thus far today. On one of those occasions I have about a 2 minute loading screen. I had one UI error pop up on screen. That's the only error I got so far. The game is running really smooth for me.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I'm looking forward to playing the next beta. TESO has really good PvP. However, I miss the days (like in Lineage 2) where you could PvP anywhere/anytime. TESO's PvP reminds me of DaOC (and what WAR could have been). My biggest concern with TESO PvP is the combat system. I think you're going...

    Hmm. While I think Karina Smirnoff is very pretty, I have heard more than one person refer to her as a butterface.

    Answer the question above you, no matter what it is

    I've owned a lot of dogs in my life, but I think my favorite breed is the Beagle. They are a very kind, fun-loving breed. They are not too big and they are not too small. They are great around kids, and excellent around people who are normally timid around canines. If you can get past their...

    Atlanta

    I grew up in Atlanta, and had a lot of people visit me. I think the places that they most enjoyed (in no order) were Stone Mountain, Georgia Aquarium, Helen, Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield, Coca Cola Factory . . . there are lots of places to eat. If you're in the mood to party a bit, go to...

    One thing that I always say is to never lie to your kids. Don't threaten discipline and never do it. This only teaches them that they can get away with stuff. So it's really important to carry through on everything you say. So, the most difficult part is to actuallysaythings that you are...

    Camelot Unchained MMO

    I used to work for Mythic when Mark Jacobs was developing Warhammer Online. I worked there until about 9 months after the game's release. I have a lot of faith in Mark, and it's good to see him out from under the corporate idiocy of EA. I have no doubts that Mark will make a great game.

    Arrow

    When I saw Summer Glau in the trailer, I kind of cringed. Arrow is one of my favorite shows - and now it has a better than average chance of being canceled! lol

    I have been using a Kindle since 2008. I am now using the Kindle Fire HD. Can't really beat the price, and Amazon Prime is actually really good. You can borrow books, and there are also lots of free books.
