    Elder Scrolls : Skyrim

    I think the dragon difficulty is situational. They tend to follow a pattern. If I'm rested, and mobile, they're a long fight until I can bring them down, but doable. That having been said, though they could be more difficult, it doesn't bother me that much....just being in the fight, hearing...

    Elder Scrolls : Skyrim

    Yup. I was doing the murder investigation quest in Markath......tried a few different things. When I got framed for crimes I didn't commit, and the guards came to arrest me, I protested my innocence, and when they refused to listen, I fought back. It turned into an epic fight with the entire...

    the tablet war is heating up

    Now, shortly before Christmas, one of the companies Microsoft was going after challenged them to reveal what patents they were violating, and it turned out that a bunch of the patents in their "bag" really weren't that applicable, and that this whole time, companies have basically been giving in...

    the tablet war is heating up

    Those are a lot of assumptions. :) Microsoft hasn't been able to develop good performance tablets since....well, since they were developing tablets running Windows, with short battery life, before the iPad was a gleam in Steve Jobs' eye. Maybe the Windows 8 tablets will be all that, and maybe...

    the tablet war is heating up

    Given that MS makes more money from Android than from Windows phone, I'd think they don't want to see Android fail :) At the end of the day, it's no in anyone's interest for there to be only one or two smartphone "flavours"....as much as the Android or Apple fans believe otherwise! Banshee

    the tablet war is heating up

    According to Slashgear, ICS is rolling out *today* for the Xoom WiFi, if you're in the U.S. The article announcing that has a bunch of comments from people confirming they just downloading it, and basically going googoo over how much better it runs on the Xoom than Honeycomb did. FYI, Opera...

    Xbox 360 vs. PS3

    You have to pay for XBox Live Gold. I'm not entirely sure of where features break down between the two, but I think it's something like: Silver -can buy movies etc. from the market -can look at trailers -can download games from XBox Live, as well as expansion packs etc. -can purchase TV...

    the tablet war is heating up

    How do you like your Prime? I've got the first Transformer, and had briefly considered upgrading. But I've heard some people have had issues with weak WiFi reception, due to the aluminum body interfering with the RF signal. Banshee

    I've got Splashtop on my Transformer. It's kind of neat to play The Witcher 2 on my tablet, streamed from my PC. Banshee

    Xbox 360 vs. PS3

    I have both, and I'd tend to agree with your overall assessment. Honestly, my PS3 gets use as a Blu-Ray player and for some exclusives. On the best PS3 exclusives, I *do* tend to find the graphics nicer than the best games on XBox. But on any multi-platform games, most of the ones I've looked...

    How do you feel about the future of D&D after the official announcements?

    Yes, it has. But it's done that at a time when there was a relatively significant rift in the fanbase. As such, if 5E does away with the things that caused many people to turn from D&D in 4E, would that shrink Pathfinder's customer base to too large a degree? I'm cautiously optimistic about...

    How do you feel about the future of D&D after the official announcements?

    Not to start an edition war, but I'd contest that whether or not they were doing the right things with 4E depends on whether or not you *liked* 4E. Now, either Hasbro is putting on pressure for them to have shorter lifespans to the editions OR they recognize that something went wrong with the...

    Occupation/Resistance --Terra Nova # 12 & 13/Season I 2011/Season Ending

    I'm thinking with Spielberg attached, they may be reluctant to let it fail after one season. Did Earth 2 get a second season? I do think some of the problems with the show are fixable. Banshee

    Occupation/Resistance --Terra Nova # 12 & 13/Season I 2011/Season Ending

    What I didn't get with the whole thing is related to the whole time paradox thing. Obviously, we can't look too seriously at it. But.... These guys in the future...the Phoenix Group....why would they want to despoil the earth 90 million years in the past or whatever? Obviously, 90 million...

    Occupation/Resistance --Terra Nova # 12 & 13/Season I 2011/Season Ending

    So...you're saying you could put a bullet into your own child, without compunctions? As frustrating as it was to see the guy get away, I can completely empathize with the father's inability to terminate his own offspring. Banshee

    Helen Mirren Interested In Playing Dr. Who?

    Given the doctor regenerates a whole new body, and can apparently "switch sides", and that this is established within the canon of the sow, with that show having been around as long as it has, a change would be fitting, and give a very different pace. Doesn't mean the doctor always has to be a...

    the tablet war is heating up

    I can ask, if you would like. So you can understand where that's coming from. There are several who've all said the same things, and they don't even know each other. I'm not the network IT guy. I'm good enough to configure my home networks etc. to a level that is probably above 95% of the...

    the tablet war is heating up

    I 100% agree with you on several of your points here. Regardless of whether they market themselves as suited for the space or not, neither iOS or Android are really suitable for corporate environments. RiM's products are...but they're having major problems with deployment at the moment. Most...

    Occupation/Resistance --Terra Nova # 12 & 13/Season I 2011/Season Ending

    i wonder too. Especially with that cliff hanger at the end. Could be very interesting twist to what we thought the premise of the show was. Banshee

    the tablet war is heating up

    Microsoft hasn't really done a good mobile OS yet....so I guess we'll see. Microsoft definitely has resources....but they haven't been successful yet. I wouldn't mind it.....but not if it means the devices using it only have 3 hour battery life (as an example). I'm not an Android fanatic by...
