Well, in order to facilitate the gameplay, the various jarls are ridiculously accessible to the player. Castles shouldn't just freely admit outsiders to come before their rulers sporting their full panoply of death-dealing gear. And if they do, they should probably have more than a couple guards...

Microsoft moves at an elephantine pace, coparatively speaking. There's a good reason for this: they're pretty much the only guys in a very large business arena who provide a soup-to-nuts software framework that's viable for both consumer and enterprise. When we talk about consumer tech, it's...

And let's not forget that at $500, it's actually reasonably priced for the hardware you're getting. I like my Toshiba Thrive just fine, but only relative to the $300 I paid over Thanksgiving weekend, not for the $470 it has normally retailed for. The problem with the Prime is that Windows 8 is...

Yep, just like followers, they will hunker down and beg for mercy for a minute, then they get back up. This can be annoying if you get one mad at you.

Let's not forget the Rankin Bass version of RotK. I always thought it was a shame that Rankin Bass doesn't have the fan following that other old studios do. They had good animation. Heck, I think a lot of their Thundercats episodes have greater visual impact than what we see on the 2011 remake.

Yesterday on Hulu I tuned into this series called "Mongrels" on Hulu. If you're into that kind of messed-up, "Drawn Together" style of humor, then it's worth checking out.

I've had bears just sit and growl at me, but it does require a good deal of safe distance. As to giants--well, I've seen quests to slay them. They drop those ridiculous toes.

Well, quite a few mobs don't attack on sight. Pretty much all animals have a safe distance. And of course, the giants make it clear when you're invading their personal space. Dragons are different from other creatures--and in this respect, easier to fight--in that they relent even when they're...

Neither of the quotes you provided seem particularly loopy. What I find nutty is that people insist on building cults of personality around a company's executives because they have the impulse to slap a face on something that's essentially faceless. Corporate executives are mostly dull...

My understanding is that the only ICS tablet to date is a cheap-o $100 model released in China. Whether the Thrive will get an official version of ICS is a toss-up. Btw, OnLive games has just released an Android app that I've installed on the Thrieve and the Skyrocket. Scant few...

I guess. What's your point, besides advancing a unilaterally pro-Apple spin?

Does anyone watch Person of Interest? Is it worth getting into?

Wonder when the Android version will be available? Google Executive Chairman seems to think it's nuts that programs are developed for Android only as an afterthought, if at all. Google's Schmidt: Android leads the iPhone | Deep Tech - CNET News

Sometimes dragons are not present for the specific purpose of attaching the player. They'll have the red icon on the compass if they're gunning for you. Otherwise, bumping into them is just a happy accident.

I got the Thrive. It's great. No problems with the screen. Anything you want me to try on it, just ask. Gonna take a shot at Skype next. Having a microphone is actually a pretty big deal with an Android tablet. There's so much you can do without ever touching a keyboard.

Indeed, many don't really involve sneaking, pickpocketing, lockpicking, or other thiefy skills. Much like how wizards guild quests don't necessarily require strong spellcasting. I pickpocketed every single member of the guild as soon as I was inducted, and had no trouble fencing their items. It...

Yeah, email would be the main thing. Also, the settings menus are grey-on-grey. This is apparently a default color scheme for Android devices, as I discovered when I started using my new Skyrocket phone yesterday. So far, that's been a happy discovery. The only hassle is finding that the...

Had some Khajiit merchants help me kill a dragon outside of Riften. Actually, I suspect they did most of the heayv lifting, I tend to think. Then they moved on. Also, a dragon flapped about and seared a hillside just above Morthal. Never came down into the city proper (which would be tough for...

Bwahahaha!

OK, let's back up a second. Maybe we're looking at different screens. Do you have grey-on-grey for your menus? Is the font small, like maybe a 5-point font? Because if that's all true, and you don't consider that hard to read, then you're doing better in the vision department than you might think.
