Again I ask, who uses horses anyways?  I haven't seen anything that needed me to be on a horse.  They can't run faster, jump higher or further.  In fact, using a horse is almost an insult to me.

Ironbite-that and it's 1000 septims per horse...fuck me I ain't made of money.

My horses have armor.  And I didn't have to shell out real money for that "privilege" :D

But really, they could stand to be faster.  They do have the advantage of being able to say "Fuck physics" and ride straight up a mountainside though.

Can't you fast travel on a horse, even if you are encumbered?

I forgot about that, actually.

1000 gold? I made that much money in the first three hours of the game just by raiding dungeons full of bandits and selling off their shit.

As a side note, My current character currently possesses 300,000 gold, two fully furnished houses, and a huge-ass custom-built lakeside manor. By the end of the game, I should have enough money to buy the entire country.

Well, my Dragon Age: Origins play through is going rather well. Finished clearing the Circle of Magi, managed to take down Uldred using only three lyrium potions in total. Did I mention I'm playing on nightmare difficulty? On an Xbox 360?

Still, the real test will be whether or not I can bring down a dragon. As I recall, those things are just insane.

Threw another controller yesterday, though this time it was for my PS 2.  I was frustrated because of our Air Conditioner.  Then my computer kept freezing so I tried to put on Fire Pro Wrestling to watch in between freezes.  At that point, either the game was having problems, or I was too ****'ed off to concentrate, but the settings kept going to default after I spent 10 minutes setting up a league.  I sent the controller hurtling toward the TV, where it shattered (Gamestop brand so not very sturdy).

Oohs, oh well I have a back up, and PS2 controllers aren't very cheap.  I decided to to play any 360 or DS games for a while at that point.

I preordered Black 2.  Even though we're going to Walmart today, I have to wait until at least Friday.

Only got to play for a little bit before I go to bed, pretty fun so far.

I plan on trying to play through the game using only N's Pokemon when I get the chance. Should provide a decent challenge. Getting a little bored with finding the daycare and breeding some supersoldiers to EV train before steamrolling the entire game into oblivion.

The XCom remake is awesome. Despite my inability to keep snipers or rookies alive.

Edit:
Oh, and retro city rampage got a stealth release yesterday.

I may....be getting Hearthfire.  May.  I love Dawnguard as it adds horse combat and vampires who aren't pathetic to my game and from what I saw with Al Chest Breach it looks kinda fun.  My only issue is that the kids seem...awfully stupid.

Ironbite-wonder if you can kill 'em and start over.

Hearthfire is OK, I like it, but the 3 plots and house you can make are really similar and should be more customizable.  The horse combat needs work.

I've been on the Mechwarrior online closed beta for a while now. Fun game.

Highlights so far:

1) The match starts with a lone scout charging my team and getting blasted pretty quickly. We advance but see no other hostiles. I get a great idea and get on top of a hill to get a better view. Well what do you know, I actually spot some hostiles so I zoom in and turn on the heatvision to get a better aim... And suddenly my screen is filled with long range missiles zooming at me -FULL REVERSE! BOOM BOOM BANG!

Huh, apparently the other team had been staying back because almost all of them had LRM-mechs. Well that taught me a lesson. (but it did look cool)

2) Early in the match I had one arm blown off my mech and suffered much damage to other parts as well, so I'm trying to be cautious for now at least. Together with some team mates I start harassing an Awesome (let's just say that this mech did not get that name by being a tiny, little, weakly tin can.) and I keep at it's back and blast it with my laser and SRM. I'm not really doing that much damage compared to the others since I'm in a scout mech but it is cool when one of the arms gets blown off and the game credits me with the destruction. Also, I get the credit for the kill few shots later.

3) I've been shooting at an Atlas (biggest, toughest, meanest mech in game) alongside some teammates and my mech overheats and shuts down. Seeing as I am IN FRONT OF the Atlas I override the shutdown and decide to run out of the fire arc to cool down. but after taking one step my mech blows up... "Hylobates has killed Hylobates" Ahhh. So RUNNING will also cause heat. And by overriding the shutdown I killed myself by producing too much heat... GG
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!
