Wow. Bitch has legged it.

Trying too hard.

Can't believe he didn't include the "ding" when they go inside the elevator.

Oh I get it. It's a cowch.

Holy shit. If this is some new form of comedy from the youth, I'm too old and can't handle it.

"added emphasis on accessibility compared with previous installments"

And the greed machine strikes again. When has this type of sentiment actually improved a product? When will they learn that this ultimately burns away the loyal fanbase and turns their product into Poochy the Dog?

Looks nice, but good graphics are commonplace today (I'll assume the every-few-second stutter is a result of the video, not the game itself). More importantly: the elder scrolls are unfortunately plagued by shortcuts in design (no doubt a result of trying to create such large worlds) which they just cannot seem to shake. Leveled lists and tile-constructed dungeons are not fun. The latter are insultingly tedious after the 4th one, and if you don't know what the former are, you haven't played much in the ES series. The same worthless loot over and over again is not fun. Always being at or near the same level as your enemy is not fun. Being able to exploit the system to become so powerful (in everything) that you can beat the end boss before you reach level twelve, is not fun. These things do not make for good gameplay. I don't know how much Skyrim makes use of these old poor designs, but Morrowind and Oblivion were completely based on them, and it ruined what could have been gaming excellence. The same experience again and again and again and again and again is not fun. Here's hoping Bethesda have learned by now, or will learn, someday.

Something else: I'm not sure why they're discussing Radiant AI as if it's new; it's mocked all over youtube with Oblivion.

Anyway, seeing mountains in the distance and plants up close is yesterday's news (I wonder if the shadows are real or faked; the original video demos for Oblivion had realtime light and shadow, but they were removed for performance reasons in the final release). Ditch the LL and tile construction and add a level of environmental diversity and interactivity like that of Thief (which is over a decade old), and I might be convinced to try another ES game.

Discipline! Or it's the wheelchair train for you!

"It also an unhappy truth that the cheapest food is the least healthy, so poor people are much more likely to be malnourished into obesity."


Big Mac: ~$3.50
Large fries: ~$1.89
-----
Can of tuna: ~$1
Box of macaroni: ~$0.79

On the contrary, it's generally much cheaper to buy and prep for yourself than to buy such convenience/fast/prepped foods. You can make an entire tuna casserole for less than the cost of the fries alone, and for 1/3 of the total cost of the fast food combo.

Teach 'em to find pleasure in hurting animals young; gets a jump on the serial killer nurturing process.

He likes you!

Most poignant moment @ 8:49, imo. (The camera angle, not the cheesy comment.)

At the halfway point I actually asked out loud, is this a joke? A skit, or something for educational purposes? After the shooting idiocy, a dozen cops approach a corpse? What the hell?

They should have convicted this cop with a sentence to hang by his balls -- assuming he's got any -- until dead. Fucking coward ass cop and his brigade of spineless underachievers. The only redeeming point of the whole video is that it sounds like some were treating the cop like he's made a mistake and is possibly unstable -- "stay with him... till he goes home."

How long before something is done about this kind of thing? How long before the uprising?


are almost all american cops overweight?

Yes.

Looks to me more like Greece Lacks Talent.

Wow, 5 years! What a shame I'm still considered on 'probation'! I suppose though, I truly have made the community 'better', since I still can't vote anything down after five years of participation.
