"Race" becomes a touchy term when you look at the human races in the elder scrolls
Like, why are Reguards all that different from Nords and Imperials (Breton's have a strong elven influence, but it's still a bit awkward)
when it comes to the various elf types, it becomes easier to grasp because elves are different than people, so it can more easily be excused by most
but then you get to Orcs
which are technically elves, but have diverged quite a bit
and then Argonians and Khajiit
which, weirdly enough, have plenty of variations within their own species yet they are all contained with the same designation
"argonian" as a definition is comparable to "human" (man) or "elf" (mer)
what I'm getting at, is that think I ruined TES non-beast race choices for myself
thanks, Dubh
the first Turok is the best because after that is when you realize that Dinosaur hunter isn't actually the main thing Turok is about.
I think what i really want is Red Dead Turok. Dinosaurs aren't the main draw, but they're there, ever present, and you can go off on hunting missions and sometimes come across a rampaging t-rex and of fuck use the fusion cannon!

the silly bit is that humans can impregnate elves
which means they're technically the same species
I'm super rusty on my anthropology, because there's a term for this sort of thing
if their offspring was infertile then they would officially be different species

hey, i love all kinds of bad games. I legitimately like Superman Returns: The Game.
It's just i didn't know it was arena combat when i rented it, so about 30 minutes in i realize the single player is all bot matches. And i didn't have enough people around at the time to actually get it four players. and they all wanted to do golden eye when they were around, and i was so fucking tired of golden eye.

they should really make a new turok when a new generation comes out.
Or just a new fighting dinosaurs game.
I love dinosaurs.
But for a first person shooter, they're just so hard to use as an enemy.
I mean they're hard to just stick guns on and if they aren't armed they're just fast moving animals or big slow meat shields.
right, that's why i changed the idea to like red dead, where like they can be used as attack animals or you can go off the quest path and hunt them, but you're still manshooting for the most part.
the last one tried that, but the man shoot part was bad. and so was the rest of it.
Well, you're talking to someone that spent three different summers dedicated to botting perfect dark
I was a lonely child
but I was fucking incredible at that game
some of the shit I pulled was unbelievable
and I've been unable to demonstrate that level of skill in any game since
i never got into perfect dark. I played the single player, mucked around with the one person plays as a bad guy mode, but the multiplayer was too golden eye.
I can't stress how much i ended up hating golden eye's multiplayer.
It's a fine enough game for what it was, but the peopel i played it with were way much better then me, because they owned it and i didn't so they played it a lot more then i did, adn they would use every cheap trick they knew, because why not?

The offspring will either never be born, be sterile, or have some kind of breakdown in fitness that makes it unlikely to survive.
Hybrid inviability is one of them.

I was like the worst of our friends when it came to goldeneye. Still loved the shit of it. Except for complex. I was ok at it the game I thought.
Few years later at another group of friend's place they decided to pull out the old 64 for an old game. It was me and three other guys, two of them was all watch out, Cameron's really good, thought goodo, and went to my options and turned off auto aim.
I thought they may not be that good when they thought I was weird when I turned autoaim off.
First round was a free for all. First to twenty. I won that and the next closest score was eight.
They were a bit annoyed. I suggested they could do 3 vs 1 if I got to choose the weapon and turned on fast movement.
I chose lasers, their response were lasers were super weak.
They were unaware that a headshot with a laser was an auto kill and negated armour.
I won that round twenty to four.
Then it was decided that we aren't going to play anymore.

indeed
but I think in TES they are fertile, otherwise I don't think the Emperor wouldn't have had a problem with the fact that he sired a sired a bastard with Barenziah
and I'm almost certain half-elves are also fertile in the various D&D settings

but, realistically, it's kind of silly to force modern biology into fantasy settings because then technically dragons are the same species as damn near everything, so what the fuck

Except MW1 and to a smaller extent 2.
Because that MP5 with silencer was overpowered as shit with the UAV jammer.
I thought the demo was good! Reviews pretty much universally panned it though.

Like Modern Warfare 1 was way too fucking easy.
the demo was literally the best part of the game.

It was just way too easy.
I would come up behind them all and pop them each in the head three times I believe, because it took a few shots to kill someone with the MP5.
So at the end of a match I was often 20 kills at least ahead of the next guy.
