Re: Elder Scrolls Online Beta Sign Up
Still bummed TSW ended up sucking. It was a great concept!
I think I'll give EQNext a try whenever it finally comes out.
I agree with Funk in that Elder Scrolls games are vastly overrated. Nice textures and all, but also fairly boring, at least for me (hated the combat mechanics).

Fucking riveting.
Not so sure on how much control you have over the primary plot points, aside from character interaction, but damn it is fine, fine storytelling.

Unless you own a goodly amount of stock, or work for it, company/brand loyalty is pretty retarded. That point of view doesn't sell more apple stickers or skinny jeans, but it is just silly to get all aggro over Sony vs. Microsoft, etc.

3D movies can be decent fun if the movie is actually filmed that way. The last Harry Potter movie and Prometheus were gorgeous. But yeah, need to be in a dark room and have decent active shutter glasses.

Still not sure why, but I watched the first season of Arrow. Some really great ideas thwarted by really really bad ones. They try to blend dark with after school specials to ill effect.
But alas, it is a CW show so there you go.
