  1. So I like to get naked and equip myself with all my loot that I want to sell in town (in order to carry as much as possible). So it's not uncommon to see a naked Redgaurd running around Whiterun. I'd just sold as much as I could, due to the merchants running out of money, and decided I would go to the inn to see if they would buy any items from me.

    So a naked Redguard walks into a pub. A complete stranger asks me if I would like a drinking contest, if I win he'd give me a magical staff. A Redguard never backs down from a challenge! One down, two down, three down... pass out. I awaken in a temple in Markarth. Apparently I somehow travelled from Whiterun to Markarth whilst drunk. If you don't know where Markarth is, take a look on your map. I cleaned up the mess I made, paid off the priestess and she told me I might find the stranger in Rorikstead. And so, a naked Redgaurd with nothing but misc items and a price-reducing necklace sets off on a journey to find a stranger who had probably spiked his drink. And raped.


  2. Crap: I like to volunteer.

    Good: I enjoy meeting new people and making a difference through volunteering.

    Crap: I like to play football with my mates.

    Good: I enjoy playing football as it allows me to exercise leadership and communication skills as well as relieving stress.

    etc.

    Basically, you can always put a spin on things to make you sound better than you really are.


  3. I've started trying to improve my smithing and enchantment skills now. I really need to make myself stronger against the elements and magic. I can pretty much kill anything that attacks me with just brute force (except giants and mammoths!). I'm rolling around in exquisite dwarven armour but I look forward to making my enchanted dragon armour one day.


  4. What level were you guys when you fought the ice troll? I couldn't kill him directly so I had to do multiple arrow sneak attacks to take him out. Fighting ice trolls is harder than dragons!

    Also, what character builds do you guys have and do you ever play in 3rd person? I actually enjoy playing in 3rd person sometimes, especially if i'm fighting multiple enemies.


  5. The problem with all these supercars is that I can't drive any of them, because my dads insurance only lets over 30s drive any performance car!

    But I saw the new Vauxhall Astra VXR and it doesn't look too bad:

    I know its not a muscle car etc but it looks good to drive in the city, which is mostly all I ever do anyway.

    Xbox 720 hitting stores holiday 2012

    Earlier this week, the web was set ablaze with new rumors regarding the next-generation Xbox, otherwise known as the Xbox 720 and allegedly codenamed ‘Loop.’ The original report suggested that the new system would be cheaper and smaller than the Xbox 360, be based on Windows 9 and sport ARM processing architecture.

    Most importantly, the source alleged that the new console would make its debut at E3 next year.

    Tech journalist Paul Thurrott claimed otherwise today, suggesting that Microsoft will instead use Consumer Electronics Show in January as the launching point for their next console, and that it will integrate extensively with Windows 8 and Windows Phone.

    During an episode of Windows Weekly, Thurrott stated:

    "What I'm hearing is the console is going to come out for holidays next year, meaning that they would almost have to announce this at CES, wouldn't they?”

    He went on to claim that Microsoft is taking a note from Apple’s playbook. “They want this thing to integrate very tightly with Windows 8 and Windows Phone,” he said. “Which is a problem with the current Xbox.”

    Given the nature of the source and the language used, we’d recommend taking these claims with a grain of salt.

    All the same, should the next Xbox make its debut at CES, IGN will be on the ground conducting our annual coverage on IGN Tech


  7. Okay i've made a logical estimation on the GTAV release date:

    Grand Theft Auto IV was released on April 29th 2008. Take-two Interactive second quarter fiscal year 2008 ended April 30th. They reported Non-GAAP net profit values of $1.52.

    Strauss Zelnick, Chairman and CEO of Take-Two said the following on August 8th 2011.

    ...we continue to expect to achieve substantial revenue and earnings growth, including Non-GAAP net income in excess of $2.00 per share.

    So looking at past figures, it seems that Non-GAAP net income of $2.00 per share is high and only achievable on blockbuster releases (i.e GTAV).

    Also noteworthy, Take-two interactive have changed their fiscal year-end from October 31st to March 31st.

    Therefore, the CEO predicts $2.00 (high) share values for fiscal year 2013. This means GTAV will be released anytime between April 1st 2012 and March 31st 2013, I personally believe toward the end of the fiscal year to maintain their high expectations.

    TL;DR

    GTAV will be released between April 1st 2012 to March 31st 2013.

    I know it's a sort of shit piece of information since we could all have predicted a release date around that time, but that's all I got! If we can get quarterly predictions then we'll know when to expect a release.
