You really should give 9 a fair chance Digg. The story is really good, and the main villain is the only one in the entire series I've played that actually is multi dimensional. He has character growth. It's weird! But weird in a good way.

4 and Tactics are definitely great games. What I have played of 6, it is good. I haven't played much though. Don't bother getting an emulator for X if you have a PS3. They're re-releasing it for the PS3 with X-2 in Dec. or January.

Well that's proof that you're sane.

I don't mind family gatherings if it's just my immediate family. Extended family, it depends on their behavior.

What

These?

They're a pretty typical Christmas cookie in the states, so that could be a British thing, I guess.

Hold on a sec, are you telling us that you're an elitist **** to your family also??!?!?

Um...so I guess I've missed a lot since a new BDT thread was created since the last time I posted here.

If it helps it's a lot like the old one at least. A bit more Skyrim, a bit less WoW, and no pictures of people hanging from meat hooks yet. But I imagine we'll get there soon enough.

Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Stupid biopsy on a mole came back as it being pre-cancerous, so now I have to go in and let them scoop a bunch of flesh out of my soldier, just in case.

Best part is that it's the day before I had a follow-up appointment for my acne, and it's unclear if they'll be able to do both in the same day. Though I might be able to get my prescription refilled, and then do the follow-up two weeks later, when my sutures get removed.

I really don't want to pay the stupid $40 copay two days in a row, plus whatever the co-insurance for this procedure is...

we'll if that's not a sucky day, I don't know what is.

Here's a cheer up:

I'll be honest with you; two-handers suck so hard. It's not that the animations are bad - I like those - but Bethesda did a major cheese-up when they created the game: They never thought people would get Daedric weapons and smith/enchant the BALLS out of them. One-handed weapons actually beat two-handed weapons in DPS once you get to 100 smithing and crap. Makes no sense. Two-handers are slow, can block (sort of), but you sacrifice a lot of armor rating and the ability to use your left/right hand for anything other than BIG *** SWORD/AXE.

Anyway, if you want to give two-handed a go, I highly recommend getting this mod: Two-handed rebalance

What it does is add two new perks to the two-handed skill tree: One that increases your swing speed by 15/20% and one that increases the effectiveness of your two-handed weapon block by 30%. The increase in swing speed makes smithing and enchanting upgrades worth more when using a two-hander, and the increase in block means you're not dead the moment someone sneezes in your general direction.

My ultimate goal with this two-handed battlemage thing is to get some Daedric gear, pimp the sh*t out of it with magicka enchants and then go to town on dragons, demons and undead alike with my UNLIMITED POWER lightning hands. The sword is there for when (not if) I run out magicka and/or need the thrill of decapitating some wicked wench after she gives me lip.

Totally! If you can't get the job done with one hand, then you're doing it wrong.
