Skyrim. Fucked off with it now.

Apparently 'something' happens near the start of your playthrough, which
will clobber the theives guild questline right at the end. So about 40
hours of play time into the theives guild questline, doing theives guild
quests, I find myself stuck in a room with no doors, unable to exit.

I'm /supposed/ to touch a circle on the ground to get a nocturnal power,
and this would majik me back to the open world. But it doesn't. No
ammount of reloading old saves will fix it. Fucking game.

I can, of course, reload a save right before I jump into this exit-less
hole, but that means I've wasted all those tens and tens of hours on the
thieves guild and can't finish it. Fucking game bitching hate.

I'm not going to shred it, but I'm finding it difficult to eruditely
articulate quite how pissed off I am.

Third, really, as I count two initial PWB posts from Mal. This will make
the Usenet threading interesting.

More WoW. Warrior is up to L61, did 0-60 in 44 hours!

BF3, had a quick go on hardcore at the weekend. I prefer hardcore, but
I need to up my game, I got destroyed. I find it a lot harder to see
the enemy compared to BC2, but I don't know if that is actually the
case, or just that i'm unfamilar with the maps.

Paper Toss 2.0 on my new iPhone 4S. Got the phone for free from work as
part of a bonus, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered to upgrade from my
iPhone 4. It's noticeably snappier and quicker to use, and i've
actually used Siri a few times! I wouldn't have paid for the upgrade
myself though.

When were you on? I was hoping to link up at some stage. Another time.

I didn't check out Hardcore yet but will do now you mention it. I came
to prefer it in BC2. I think the key to spotting enemies, as you say, is
knowing the territory. A smudge or a bump in the wrong place makes all
the difference when you're quickly scanning round. I used to have
difficulty getting my gun up, aiming at the right spot and pulling the
trigger -much tougher it seems in this game. But it doesn't seem to be
an issue for me that much now. Not sure if it's practise,
familiarisation or some add-on I picked up along the way.

I played some Rush over the weekend and enjoyed it! It's a pity BF3 has
the same balance issues as previous games though. I dislike being in an
over-domineering team as much as when we're being trashed (or
"man-trashed" as my boy says).

Sunday morning I think. Toad's internet is out at the moment though.

It just doesn't feel as precise and snappy as BC2 for me yet, but i've
only put in 8 hours so far. I still don't like the maps as much as the
BC2 maps though, and levelling up a sniper to get some good guns is
boringly frustrating. The first guns you have take more than one shot
to kill someone, even on hardcore, I pumped 4 shots into someones chest
and they still didn't go down.
The only enjoyable way of levelling up a recon, for me, is with shotguns
But that isn't quite so much fun on your own, and without slug
ammunition.
Loads to unlock in this game, but I think the equipment difference
between the people with more time to play, and those who aren't on the
game all day is more pronounced this time round, which makes these early
days a bit of a chore.

New game mode coming in the DLC this week, apparently. Conquest
Assault, or something like that.
Basically one team starts with 1 conquest point and a lot of tickets,
the other team with the rest of the points and less tickets.
Might be interesting.
