well, at least she's having fun. i know i would be with a game that cool-looking. ^^

[IanDanKilmaster]

Well she's really into RPGs and is a huge fan of the Elder Scrolls series.  I am a fan of the series as well, but she's been excited about it since the beginning, where I haven't been nearly as much.  In fact, it wasn't until I learned about the skill trees/perk system that I really started getting into the hype.  We've both been planning out characters we wanna make when we start off.  She's being more free-wheeling about it, whereas I'm being very hardline and wanting to play to at least one of the racial strengths.  She's saying she's looking forward to watching me play (whenever that may be xD), just so she can see how differently I approach things (she's already noticed how differently I play Oblivion and New Vegas).

WAR = FUN FOR ALL THE FAMILY

[stewartsage]

That's part of what I enjoyed about watching my old room mate play Fallout 3, Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age, and the last Elder Scrolls.  Never been a big fan of fantasy games or magic sorts of things though; I enjoy industry and machinery too much I guess.

On a related note: Haven't bought a new game.... ever.

so guys, appearantly we should all be rolling in honey:

@dan: i try to buy used whenever possible. out of all my games, i think maybe 5 were bought new (this is counting game boy and N64 games as well).

[IanDanKilmaster]

I've bought a few new games, and actually prefer to when I can afford it.  The first game I ever bought new was probably Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense for the PS1.  At that point, the game had long been a greatest hits title and I got it fairly cheap.  I also bought several more new games, but I make it a point to buy a game I really, really, really like new whenever it's feasibly possible.  I think MGS3 was the first time I bought a game when it was first released.

Jude seems to like how I try to approach every game I play like I'm Solid Snake or something.  I like to sneak around like a ninja and then drive the AI into fits trying to figure how their friend just had an aneurysm (the words "It's gotta be four guys" gets thrown around a lot when I'm playing Far Cry 2).

I love honey... very tasty stuff.

They know how to market

[stewartsage]

On TV Tropes there's a My Little Pony D&D game.

[Chocofreak13]

@kraus: i'm unsure if that's awesome or facepalm-worthy.
@stew: since ponies has begun to grow on me like so much mold, that's pretty kickass.

EU3 AND VICTORIA II PROVE THIS MAI NORDIC BROTHER.

@Choco:
I would say its a mix of both, the rendering and such was pretty awesome but the fact that they used Miku's FUCKINGSCREACHOFDEATH and the commentary is pretty faceplam inducing.

Overall, its made me look at the Corolla's models and I'd have to say it would be one of my top choices for a "cheep" first car.
With my current job, I can buy this car (over the course of 60 months -.-) easily! But I will continue to look at other car's for my first car...

Oh, you mean assimilating you like the borg? >.>

Bah, sorry about that... anyway, we got Skyrim now, let the fun begin.  Oh wait, there's freezing... that's... fun.

[Chocofreak13]

@dan: sorry to hear about glitches :[
@kraus: i meant miku coming across the (other) pond. the only animes that have gotten mainstream here are pokemon and DBZ. this points to a 50/50 chance of america making it sucky and wimpy, so i'm just a little nervous about miku becoming "americanized". most things lose what makes them cool when they go mainstream. (bacon wrapped hotdog for a japanese pop singer? really people?)

[IanDanKilmaster]

Yeah, well, hopefully they release a patch that fixes that (and doesn't break something else along with it) before I get a chance to play.  Like I told her, though, it's a few days old Bethesda game, what else would one expect?

[Nichi]

@Dan: True that. At least, being an Elder Scrolls game, they'll at least patch it; unlike one game I remember buying that they developed (I don't remember what it was, because it was so long ago), which had more game-breaking bugs than Daggerfall, which where never patched at all
