I did that a while ago, not full renegade but I finished ME and ME2 again with the sole purpose of having a great character when MW3 hits (collectors edition already preordered, btw). And about a week after i finished ME2, my brand new ssd drive died along with all the savegame files ....
I'm playing Skyrim again, this time as a mage. Also I plan to play the **** out of the "Back to Karakand" BF3 expansion pack this weekend, i only played 2 games on the new maps..

Playing Fallout 3 as always. I bought the GoTY Edition for £15 a while back, which includes all DLC! By far one of the best games I've ever played. Nuka Cola anyone?

It is awesome, I got it the GOTY edition for £5 earlier this year haha.

Can I make mine a Quantum and order a brahmin steak to accompany it?

Well my 3rd Xbox 360 died last night and because I bought it used it only has a 1-year warranty which expired a few weeks ago (earlier in the week I was noting how awesome it was that this console had lasted over a year). So I think I'm going to trade in all my 360 games and see what old PS2 and Gamecube games I can get, because I'm not buying another one. If I come into some money or I see someone selling a PS3 cheap I might pick up one of those again (my last one got stolen), but I think I'm done with current generation gaming.

edit:



Just bought Machinarium for my iPad and it is quite possibly one of the most beautiful looking games I have ever played.

Okay, I need a bit of help from someone who is more knowledgeable in emulators than I am. I own a copy of Pokemon Gold (somewhere) but even if I knew where it was, my DS couldn't play it anyway. Would downloading a Rom of the game be illegal? I've heard from someone that it's just a perfectly legal way of getting handheld games onto your PC for playing, but I'm not fully confident in that source.

No, I'm fairly sure the usage of ROMs is illegal no matter which way you slice it. Ask Noise, he's the emulator expert.

I see no reason why downloading roms should be legal. Games are copyrighted and it generally takes like 50-70 years for copyrights to expire.

So I was lied to? I thought as much. As you said, they don't really seem like something that would be even remotely legal. I might download it anyway as I don't think there's any morals in question with it seeing as I would (if I made a real effort) be able to play Gold on my old GBA with no money trading hands anyway, but I'll stop talking about illegal stuff now.

Yac, whenever I read your posts, in my head it always sounds like professor Frink is saying it. Is this the intended effect?

yeah apparently there like 16 dungeons or something crazy like that. I hear they scrapped most of the villages and non-puzzle elements, which is kinda sad

The fighting is really fun, i actually don't mind going back to a previous area and seeing the same enemies because its so satisfying to smack the **** out of them with my sword.

I wish items would lock on though-the slingshot or whatever-so i wouldn't have to be in first person meticululosy aiming at bats to kill them, previously i could just lock on and strafe while shooting.
