Ah, the mystery of the girl isn't returning my texts has been solved. She's assuming I'm mad at her by proxy.
Say what?
She was using her father's laptop last night, got some malware on it, I got roped into doing tech support on it, her father found out and I heard his end of the conversation. Apparently I'm still not on his people he tolerates list. So at some point he and I are going to have words. Or I'm going to skip the words and just punch him. Not sure yet.
I went to a midnight release and snagged the collectors edition. Mini deathwing ho!!
I picked it up after work last night. I thought about doing the midnight release thing monday night but I considered the temp outside at the time and said fuck it since I assumed they'd have left over collectors editions anyways :P
Duders, did Gran Tourismo ever turn into something that wasn't the equivelent of a really over-complicated RPG with cars instead of people?
Not really. They're more concerned with how accurately the car is modeled and performs than anything else. Even the new damage model sucks.
How unfortunate for people who like video games. The Madden of racing.
I mean, I'll admit I'm bad at vidya games. But I remember trying the first two GTs and thinking "WTF, you can't get these cars over 60mph before the game becomes unplayable. Also, I'm not a fucking high-performance mechanic, so the 90% of the game you spend tweaking every part of every care just kinda... turned me off.
The high level of fussiness and detail of the physics and fussiness/detail for modifying of every tiny trivial part are exactly the parts that sell me on a driving game.

I never - ever - use potions other than healing in any games. Never even thought about it, it seems like such a hassle.
Like, do you reload after every encounter now that you know you'd be better off taking a fire resist potion before you fight?

Awww, but Ghost on Kennen is FUN. Need to be somewhere in a hurry? GHOOOOOOOOOOOSTLIGHTNIIIIIIIIING
Hell, take Ghost/Revive and get your ass back to the FIGHT in STYLE!

All Yordle
All Revive
All Teleport
All Revive Mastery
Teemo mandatory so he can plant mushrooms for your team to teleport to
You don't know fear until you finish up a team fight and then 10 seconds later five Yordles with increased speed and health come screaming out of the jungle at you.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
Levitation potions were pretty ballin' too, although for Morrowind I tried leveling up Alteration (I think was it?) to use the spell. Because fuck, potions were so broken, it kind of made me angry breaking the system.

I had fun just figuring out the apothecary stuff in Oblivion. It's also a good way to sell excess stuff for more gold.

Yes, and him I am very angry with. Her, I'm mildly annoyed with for having to do tech support.
Should I play Mass Effect series or Dragon Age first?
Easily Mass Effect. Easily.
So much easily.
Keep in mind I've played ME1 and half of ME2 and all of Dragon Age
So this is more of a
which one should I replay
I think you should play a game more befitting your gender.
Like play Gran Turismo 5 but drive very slowly and erratically.
Oh when I play Mass Effect I do all the dialogue and then give the controller to Aaron and scream at the gunshots. Dos that work?
They should make a sandwich-maker controller. I don't even know how you make a sandwich but whatever it is should be turned into an Xbox 360 controller and marketed to women.

Not really. They're more concerned with how accurately the car is modeled and performs than anything else. Even the new damage model sucks.

That's the thing though, I've not once ever messed with settings like ride height, wheel camber etc. You buy all the mods for your car that make it go faster, put the biggest turbo you can find inside it, and you're done.
My favorite is still GT4 though. I probably won't buy GT5. At least not until it's $19.99.

I'll tinker with the ride height and some of the under/oversteer stuff but that's about it.
I wouldn't want every game to be Bethesda-style open world
But man every once in a while it is the best
No other games have caused me to lose track of time as much as Morrowind/Oblivion/Fallout 3

I kind of want to get Civilization 5 because of the shiny pictures, but it's basically full price and I didn't like the other Civilization game that I played.

The only thing I hate about GT4 are the tires, how the wear on them is completely unrealistic. I should be able to go a lap without "soft" tires needing to be replaced.

Fuck tire wear. I have it turned off in Forza 3.
I just exploit the lack of damage model and the forgiving collision physics to use cars in front of me as bumpers in the curves to make up for it.

people have beaten it in like 12 minutes 9 of which were spent mixing potions

I don't have that much rainbow stuff.

I loved carrying around a bunch of those ones that boosted your Strength by like 20 or 50 but drained some other stuff
Because you would chug like 4 of them and then it didn't matter how low your other stats were because you could 1-shot everything

Killing the end boss is "beating" morrowind. And it can be done in 7 and a half minutes.
massive spoilers in the video I guess? The second one just displays massive alchemy abuse rather than an actual speed run
