    Wait, you can't download google maps on to the new iphone?

    And someone actually questioned me about letting other people beta test new technology, telling me that kind of thing is no longer necessary. Google Maps is my boo and I don't want your fuckery in it's place, Apple. I'm glad I bought a 4S instead of waiting for the new phone to come out.

    Google has its iOS 6 maps app ready, Apple just hasn't approved it yet.

    Sure, but that's the other great thing about letting other people be the beta testers. They are the ones who have to live with the inconvienent version of the technology, and possibly their wails of anguish will make the convienece come faster (like maybe Apple will be quicker to approve the new Google maps because of how much hate they are creating). A few months down the line these problems will be resolved and then maybe I'll get a new iPhone.

    Probably not though, I'll probably just wait for the next generation after that. (again giving it a few months for Apple to get their shit together)

    But the situation with Maps was already known before the iPhone 5 came out. In any case, you can still use Google Maps through the website and a native app will probably be approved soon. It's hardly an issue that warrants waiting a year for people to beta test the phone.

    I basically look at Bethesda style games as choose your own adventure. Do what you want, ignore the rest and play around in your little sandbox. My warrior joined the Companions. My assassin is in the Thieves Guild. Casters in that game can suck my balls so I am ignoring the mages college except to get into a tomb.

    I rarely do the story and instead wander around the world finding things, exploring caves and tombs and killing mans. It is a world simulator more than anything to me.

    That's how my wife played, but it didn't change the fact that by level 60 she was basically the heavy fisted god of an entire civilization despite the fact she had only been a participant in some of it's factions for a matter of hours.

    I did like the fact that in Skyrim if you assassinate certain people, then other quests would become unavailable, but they were so minor in scale it didn't really matter.

    Fallout was a little better about this at least. You could basically choose your sides and it would turn off part of the game for you because those were the choices you made.

    I liked the original KOTOR where if you fucked up on the water planet you were basically banned from it and couldn't complete later quests in the game.

    That to me is good game engineering, making you live with the choices you made.

    You're the one who came up with a year (is that standard beta testing time or something?)

    For me, it's a few months of letting Apple, or whatever company, work out the kinks of the things that were either released broken or released with a new "feature" which was intended by the company to be super cool but is actually ass. 3 months sounds about right, more or less depending on the company. If they refuse to fix the problem because they want you to use their ass, then 3 months turns in to never.

    Oh yeah, I was and am planning to wait a generation (plus 3 months, of course) simply because my 4S is almost brand new so I don't need a new phone.

    Okay I thought you meant you'd wait a year for the 'beta testing'. Waiting a few months makes sense, though I still think Apple's platform is mostly stable (with a few exceptions).

    Okay, so this "autumn punch" I just made:

    2 bottles of white wine
    1 bottle of red wine
    3 ounces of dry vermouth
    3 ounces of sweet vermouth
    1 cup citrus vodka
    1 cup applejack
    1 cup cranberry juice
    2 ounces simple syrup
    Sliced lemon and orange

    It tastes vaguely like a sangria, a little more tart

    but it fucking hits like a GROWN MAN.

    I've never had a smartphone, so I dunno.

    I like calling people and texting people and I want a ringtone. I don't plan on gaming on the phone.

    However, I do have an iPad and a Macbook Air, so I'm leaning towards the 4S. But the SII is cheaper and I've been interested in trying the Android platform.

    Oh, if the phone could serve as an MP3 player as well, that'd be great. My iPod is getting old.
