Handsome B Wonderful

I think there was something about Shawn Lee (composed the games soundtrack) accidentally confirming he was summoned to make more music. Sounds interesting. I just picked up the scholarship edition on PC for $8 last week, and it's as good as I remember. It makes me think what a sequel, using today's systems and a vastly expanded game world, would be like.

They, as well as everyone else, is guessing. Also, they are Irish. They are probably sending plumbers around to the Gamespot dispatch centre to fix the leak. Only if you're really this guy, otherwise we are going to need proof.

You forgot the money-grabbing Jewish lawyer and the Korean grocery store owner who yells "yoo be solly if you fuck we me, Amerrrycan preeks" at robbers. Maybe they'll be in the second trailer. Seriously though, after all the diverse characters R* have given us, it would be a shame if they had to rely on racial sterotypes to convey a story. I want to play as a rich black man who enjoys fine wine, Rush, and hanging people on meathooks in his basement, not another bloody gangbanger.

Of course it can. That thread is full of noobs, I don't want anything to do with it. Speaking of which, the Throw Voice shout is totally fucking useless. They can hear the voice you project, yes, but they also hear your whisper so after they realised that generic rock wall isn't the source, they come straight for you. Yeah, I last night I went to Shearpoint and finally killed that bastard Krosis and got the Whisper Shout. I got found out immediately each time. I'll stick to plinking arrows off the walls or distracting them with a ghost wolf. I got the Rose of Sanguine or whatever last night. It was a pretty good quest, very reminiscent of a recent Hollywood movie where the characters drank too much. Now I can summon up a Daedra to help kill whatever I need to. Pretty freaking awesome. That quest is one of my favourites. Oh yeah, Stoic (and anyone else who has finished it)...

Speaking of which, the Throw Voice shout is totally fucking useless. They can hear the voice you project, yes, but they also hear your whisper so after they realised that generic rock wall isn't the source, they come straight for you. I know! I haven't had it work for me once. I point at a target as far away as I can, and they just look at it, and then turn in my direction.

Yeah, I only use the healing potions, unless I'm getting bitch-slapped by a high-level mage, in which case I drink anything willy-nilly in a vain attempt to stay alive. Any decent non-healing potions get sold. Hmm, I've just decided to create a 3rd character. He will be a skooma-addicted Khajiit who will be dedicated to pickpocketing and inserting his barbed penis into many a nord, male or female. EDIT: You guys are going to laugh me out of the topic for this... Because I've played the whole game hacking and slashing so far, using only my starting healing and flames spells, I just assumed that you had to learn spells from magically inclined npc's. I didn't realize you can learn spells from spell tomes. I thought the tomes were just for one-off spells like in Oblivion. I have heaps of them, and I never tried reading one. Not that I need them. I've made it to level 32 without them. *Hides*

yah I usually just went with rock radio. I'd like more old school metal Agreed. LCHC wasn't metal, and whilst I enjoyed most of the death metal part of the station, it was a bit hit and miss. "Inner Sanctum" is hardly Celtic Frost's best song. And Soulfly? Really? I know Max was host, but that's why Sepultura was included. I didn't want to hear any of that nu-metal jumpdafuckup crap. As for Max, the less that hippie-haired buffon says, the better. Now, if they had got someone like Glen Benton or David Vincent to host, that would have been fun, even if just for the lulz. Anyways, I stand by my request in another topic about V's music that stoner/doom metal MUST be in GTA V. I'm talking Sleep, St.Vitus, Cathedral, Electric Wizard, Black Sabbath etc. Also, prog rock. I want to drive from one end of the map to the other within one song.

Rick James was also in played in IV. "Come Into My Life" is played in the strip joints, I do believe. I'm pretty sure that makes him the most played artist in the GTA series. Hopefully "Superfreak" or "Lovegun" appear in V.

The random encounter dog. I had a quick look around, and if you tell the dog to go home when you don't have a home, it just vanishes. I'm 100% certain I had Breezehome at the time, though. Oh well, no great loss.

speaking of missing followers, a few weeks back I had that dog that randomly shows up as follower. He was following me through a cave when I told him to leave. I just assumed he would go to Whiterun, but the bugger just took off and I didn't see him again. Is that supposed to happen?

I'd hit it. I wish you could divorce your spouse. I married some miner woman from Shor's Stone early on (I can't even remember her name). I got sick of her when I saw all the hot tail around, so i kicked her out of Breezehome and sent her back to live in Shor's Stone, where she is more likely to be killed by a dragon or a spider. You see, my character's not evil enough to kill his wife, but he will put her life in jeopardy for someone better. Anyway, no luck yet.

I drank, ate, opened shit, and played Skyrim. Business as usual for me.

GTA needs more Dwarf-tossing mini-games. That is all.

lol, that should give you enough time to get the job done. I'm listening to my Skyrim-themed metal playlist atm. It's mostly full of Immortal, Enslaved, Nile, Bathory, Blind Guardian, Amon Amarth, Morbid Angel etc. It makes those mundane moments of my life when I'm not playing Skyrim more memorable.

skimmed. ill have to give it a listen sometime PS gotta agree that Deconstruction is the best album this year It's one of those rare modern metal albums that everyone can agree is fucking awesome. I love listening for the little homages, like the marching effect used in 'Stand', which sounds like it came straight from Pink Floyd's "The Wall", or the fact that 'Praise The Lowered' starts off sort of sounding like a Phil Collins song. And the intro to 'Deconstruction'! How can fart noises and the word 'Cheeseburger' being repeated sound so good? And Devin's vocals on 'Pandemic' are just ridiculous. It won by a country mile for me. The only album imo that was ever going to challenge Deconstruction was Opeth's 'Heritage'. And whilst it was a great prog-rock album, it was barely metal, and I couldn't put it any higher for that reason.

^Sudden Death is alright, but it just sounds like something that they forgot to include on Endgame. If you ever hear the album, your heart will sink when you hear "Public Enemy No.1". It's Risk-like in it's shiteness. And the re-recordings of 'New World Order' and 'Millenium Of The Blind' are sterile and lifeless. Speaking of shit, I haven't heard the remix or whatever of Morbid Angel's Illud Divinium Insanus yet. Apparently, it has even more doof, so I'll steer even further clear of that one.

lol, Revanchist. I can't believe they managed to pussify even Revan and Malak. Anyway, to answer your question, Mjoll The Lioness never let me down. Apparently, she's good with two-handed weapons. She's at the tavern in Riften. You do have to find a sword for her, though, so going down that path might be time consuming. And a warning, her quotes get old fast. I don't care about your father, woman! Shut the fuck up! I don't bother with followers anymore. They get in the way.

It's that time of year where I look back at stuff I've done and I rate it. My Top 10 metal releases for 2011 (it's been pretty lean this year, or maybe I just haven't been listening to much) 1. Devin Townsend Project - Deconstruction 2. Hate Eternal - Phoenix Amongst The Ashes 3. Opeth - Heritage 4. Primordial - Redemption At The Puritan's Hand 5. Ghost - Opus Eponymous 6. Absu - Abzu 7. Death - Human (I don't care if it's a remaster) 8. Mastodon - The Hunter 9. Autopsy - Macabre Eternal 10. Anthrax - Worship Music Most disappointing release Of 2011 I thought for sure it would be Morbid Angel, but Megadeth came out of nowhere with "13". Total rubbish.

Hmm, if SA had combined Mastersounds and Bounce, took out some of the crap from CSR and added early 90's pop to it (rebranding it Flash), took out the shit from Radio X, and added Vrock, then I would say it would be the best soundtrack of the GTA series. What was the point of the Vrock casino, I tells ya!

I think SA had my favourite theme tune. I felt hyped up and ready to collect clams after hearing it.

The whole Elder Scrolls lore is a bit hard to follow at times. There are so many different sources in the games that tell the history of Tamriel, the Aedra and Daedra, various migrations and what not. It's hard to get a clear picture. Even the Star Wars expanded universe isn't as confusing. If I could liken ES lore to anything, it would be Tolkien's "The Similarion". That was a confusing read.

Yep. I was surprised our ratings board let the penis pass. Maybe it was bigger than what the members were used to taking up the arse, and they were so busy daydreaming, they forgot to classify it as objectional.

I wouldn't mind house parties, as long as there was something enjoyable to actually do. Attempting to pick up the youngest girl at the party utilizing L.A Noire's Truth, Doubt, Lie system in some form of mini-game would be fun. Especially if the protag is in his 40's or whatever. Oh, and if you failed it, you'd wake up in a dark alley with a sore arse and several used condoms in your pocket. Sounds like my kind of night out.

I'm going to have to agree with Grizzly. I was playing this up until Skyrim came out, and I have no inspiration to complete what was left of the 'story'. I think my heart sank when the Joker turned out to play such a large role. I know it was Hamill's last role of the dice, but it just felt like Arkham Asylum all over again. If the Joker had only been hinted at throughout the game, I think it would have added more weight to the other villans, who deserved they chance to be the centrepiece. I wanted more Ra's-Ah-Ghul! I don't know. I can't fault the two Arkham games, but I was hoping for someting more. I guess I'll be putting any future Batman games in the same part of my to-play list as the Assassin's Creed and Dragon Age series'. Interested, but I ain't buying it.

I know! Here, you can rock up at the store at 9AM the next day, and you'll still get your copy before the rest of the world. Midnight launches are for idiots. I don't want to chance getting mugged by some paint-sniffing shithead just so I can wave my dick around for 10 hours. Woopty-friggin-do. BTW, for those overseas who are interested, here is a list of things I noticed that were removed from Australian versions of the GTA series. III: Ability to pick up hookers. They just stand and stare at your car. I think some drug references may have been removed, too. Vice City: As above San Andreas (original version, PS2): Absolutly nothing. San Andreas (post-hot coffee, Xbox): For some strange reason, hookers don't moan when CJ is banging them. I don't know if R* did this worldwide, or only just here. LCS & VCS: Nothing removed IV: Camera can't be moved when Niko is banging hookers. Can't select sexual favours. People don't leave blood trails when run over. Niko doesn't get bloodstains on his shirt (why R* thought this would be banned, I don't know. Scarface had the same feature, and it wasn't banned) Episodes From Liberty City: Nothing removed. I am yet to play the complete edition, so I don't know if GTAIV was re-released unedited here or not. Edit: My friend told me all versions of GTAIV have been unedited in Australia since last year. I'm going to have to get a copy.
