Also, PC Gaming is dead Im sure Blizzard would agree, as they wipe they asses with $100 bills. All I know is that PC gaming has been declared deceased every year since ~1990. I wish it would hurry up all ready. Anyhoo! Off to more GalCiv! |

Just because something is dead doesn't mean stuff still isn't being made. There's still an American company that makes Pinball machines, but arcades in america are dead as we know it. There's still a company out there making Pogs. Dead != Extinct.

Schild, seriously man, give up the rhetoric. I've been hearing this statement since the mid 90's and you know what? The only games I am interested in playing this year are coming out on the PC.
The fact that you discount MMOG gaming is a serious hole in your stance, it's a prime example of the how the flexibility of PC's continues to make them relevent versus the how the dedicated purpose of consoles constantly leaves them behind the leading edge.

It's not the flexibility anymore. It's the lack of a mouse/keyboard/hdd on consoles that's keeping the gap from being bridged. I do not discount MMOGs in any way whatsoever. I just want compelling games. The current and nearly all of the upcoming crop of MMOGs doesn't offer that. I'm just not willing to accept mediocrity anymore.
It's great that you're only looking forward to PC titles. That has no bearing on whether or not any console/handheld titles are coming out that are worth your time. It just means you'll miss them.

But that doesn't mean that PC gaming is dead or unimportant, it just means that I will miss out on a few games that I might have enjoyed. It's not pokemon, I don't have to catch them all.

Countdown to release video: http://elderscrolls.com/downloads/media_movies.htmSounds like they are going to do one of these a day until next week. The video seems a little dark but I think they are trying to show the dynamic lighting change around one of the oblivion gates (which I assume will be shown the day before release). If that frame rate and detail level are actually achievable on a mortal rig I may have to go against everything I hold dear and buy leading edge computer parts (I'm looking at you Mr. Video Card.) |

If you can resist catch-them-all (I have a tough time with this), surely you can just wait until 2007 to turn on all of the bells and whistles. This time next year should give us one or two more iterations of video-cocks, so just bide your time. |

When you can snatch the stone from my hand, you may open Oblivion.

Do they have monty hats? And money toilet paper? Hell, money suits? Not a good comparison. |

This game makes my system cry, but it is playable at lower settings (2.8 ghz, 1 gig, Radeon 9800). I have started looking into vid card upgrades (damn you, PCI-E!)

When is it due to be available for you? It is on Direct2Drive for North America if you have someone you trust you could probaby get it. This game makes my system cry, but it is playable at lower settings (2.8 ghz, 1 gig, Radeon 9800). I have started looking into vid card upgrades (damn you, PCI-E!)
It runs well on my 3500+ at 1024x1280 but with my 9800 Pro I can't turn on AA and that's even at 800x600. I have a new PCI-E MB on the shelf I just haven't bought a new video card yet. I've only played a few hours but it's enjoyable so far and thank goodness the NPC's aren't overly wordy. I tried starting Morrowind several times and just couldn't get into it. This one is very similar interface wise but it's nowhere near as ugly and I don't feel like I'm moving at glacial speeds. |

There are entire "companies" doing little more than carve replacement wooden spokes for Model T's. Damn automobile - just an aberration, a fad, when you can sip Starbucks on the train. ;) |

You will change your avatar before I stab you in ZEE EYES. By the way, welcome back, it's nice to see you. Wondered where you ran off to last month (well, almost 2 months ago now).
