Video Games?

Yes it is. It is unfortunate that a) I cannot really experience it again except perhaps if b) my laptop wasn't such a piece of shit that I never experienced the full graphical "beauty" of the game, in which case it might happen again. It was very cool after spending 2 or 3 hours in the Vault learning the ropes and redoing the test several times before I settled on a build I liked.

When I am finally able to afford a computer that would be able to play it will all the "bells and whistles" I will play it again. I had it at medium level and it still looked phenominal. I cannot wait to see it fully loaded!

Skyrim will be too much for my current computer to handle, of that I am quite certain. I will purchase the CE version of the game and then wait until I get a better computer to play it.

What is CE? I for one will have no choice but to buy an Xbox 360 version of Skryim. Such a pity. Bethesda's games are best served one a PC if only because fans make patches and some mods that makes things prettier--I have never cared, and never will care, for fan made questlines. There is already too much in each game to experience without throwing in fan quests.

CE stands for Collector's Edition. I like getting the extra goodies. Some CEs are better than others. Fallout 3(lunchbox and bobblehead), Fallout 3(poker chip, cards, art book), Bioshock(Big Daddy figurine, music CD), Pool Of Radiance: Ruins Of Myth Drannor(dice, music CD, novel, D&D module, dice bag) are just a few examples of great CEs. I don't really like the ones where all you get extra is a couple of codes to gain access to "bonus items". Bleh!

Some fan-made quests are worth playing. For example, Circle Of Eight's additions to Temple Of Elemental Evil totally fixed a broken game(even after the final "official" patch) and added some much needed content.

I just learned about a little thing called the Metal Gear Solid HD collection. My heart flutters. It's MGS2, MGS3 and Peace Walker. It comes out November. I can only hope you have a schoolgirl dancing in your head as well shadows.

I've never played any of the Metal Gear games(even on the original Nintendo!). I didn't even know they were out for the PC to be honest. I have read lots of good things about the series as a whole, and I am sure that I would enjoy playing the games.

Do you have a PS3 or an XBOX 360? Because the collection is coming out for those two at least. And don't tell Hideo Kojima I told you this but you can download the first Solid game--Metal Gear Solid, which is not included in the collection--as a Playstation rom and play it on an emulator on your computer.
