Yeah dude, solid choice of your first game.

Tip of online play? Finish the game before you get online to kick some butt.


Other then that ... Keep on moving while shooting. And find that rocket luncher as soon as possible.
My weapon of choice was the bulls eye and sniper rifle. (Although its equally fun running around with the Dragon)

I think you know about this Foxbait. Couple of years ago, there was a corporate letter stating the following paraphrase; No employees, or a game-adviser should deter consumers from purchasing any types of goods. In other-words, even if the product is bad or had your own bias, (such as a controller, or a certain video game) we weren't allowed to tell the consumers that they were bad. We were suppose to tell them all about the good sides of things.

That been said, the guys at my store (And my district stores) don't care what the corporate says. Most of the times they are talking out of their anus anyway. We keep things real man; we tell you if something is bad or something is good. (ie. That stupid steering wheel controller) Also, most of the times, if any types of topic gets spoken in the store, we all have the tendency to jump in while helping another customer (I am not sure if that's exactly a good thing or not), throwing in our own little bits of opinions and such.

However, and I am sure this is true for many other retail stores out there. If a customer is someone who comes into the store and acts like they know everything about certain things, we make sure you know your place. (For instance: We had a customer one time asking for the New York version of GTA. And we tell them yeah its called Liberty City Stories. But this dude went on arguing with us that is not the name of the game, pointing out this and that. We live in New York, so I asked him this "Dude do you own a car? ... he said yes, and the following question I asked was what does your licence plate say besides your license number of course. And he respond Liberty State." It took him awhile, but it finally hit him and he left after that. And man do I have stories after stories) Or customers who just asks plain stupid questions, that really sets our mood off.

I mean sure, there are employees who has no idea what they are talking about (like my manager who doesn't even play video games, but likes to play politic games), but you know there are some who actually knows where the mouth and their anus is. We all have our little bias and I am sure you will have the tendencies to throw them out once in awhile. I don't know how big other stores are around the states are, but the ones in NYC are not that big. I am surprised that no other employees challenges a comment or a suggestion made by another employee.

As a student of John Jay College of Criminal Justice, where there are nothing but police officers and going to be's, law junkies, forensic students, you learn a lot about the "real law."

No, I am not saying what the boy did was wrong, but the act of what he did. I felt that's wrong.

Yes, that is what I am saying. Our right to be trailed by a jury doesn't matter, because as long as you can look like an upstanding citizen, with a nice suit, nice shoes, and a lawyer who know what he or she is doing, you've won the case.

Sorry to disappoint you, I am not a 16 year old child who likes to call other people names just because they have a different opinions against mine. I rather like an intellectual discussions

My condolences to you Telchar, and I don't care if it truly happened or not. I am not saying what the kid did was wrong; to fend off an offender. But to use a weapon, and stabbing someone in the chest I don't consent to that. And you are absolutely right, they are crazy sob's out there, and you should be able to defend yourself without any cost in that type of situations, but I was talking about in legal sense. It seems like nobody understood my point; how screwed up our justice system is, and how screwed up our society is. "A teenager defends himself by using a katana sword on a thief" that's just f-ing crazy. And to those who are saying he did a good job? Are you crazy? Is this what our society has comes down to?

Did I say you were dumb? No, I did not. "In Texas" ... let's not talk about Texas, the State where they just love to put people on death row, and hands off the most capital punishment next to Virginia. Alright? State statutes are different for different states, I hope you learned that in your class. Secondly, I never said it will happen. I gave a possible scenario that could happen. The jury? the 21 year old thief can play the victim easly and can sway away the jury. Mens rea and actus rea was pointed on the fact on "rape" theory made by another user. I don't recall saying that it was a 100% chance that the teenager will be sent to the jail. Hmm the decision will come down to a jury? I don't think so, the decision was already made when the lawers, offenders, and the defendents enter. Welcome to our justice system.

To the one who asked if I was kidding. No, I am not kidding, that is how law works, and wasn't my opinion. Unless the thieves had a weapon, there are no reason for using a lethal weapon against them. And as far as "rapist" theory goes, you need 2 factors to prove anyone that they are guilty; a guilty mind(mens rea) and a guilty act(actus rea)*note to self*Thank my law professor next time. Second point, they didn't know anyone was in the house, thus no intent to rape anyone. Third point, they can charge the boy with a murder intent. He didn't call the authorities, he waited for the thieves to come back and attacked him. He had time to think, and plan out his attack. Furthermore, to go for the chest, instead of other parts, such as an arm contributes to more of that factor. Fourth, they haven't released the age factor of the teenager, because there is a possibility of incarcerating him as an either an adult or a juvenile. Fifth, depending on the state, if the teenager was not a legal age, the parents could be charged with a negligence. (Judging from the 2 articles, they didn't say anything about if the thief had any weapon, and if he did, having a weapons charges would be harder for him to get off on a bond bail.)

Ummm ... protecting the family? from what? instead of scaring off the burglars, or calling the authorietiest first, he stabbed him in the chest. That kid could be spending some time in jail, if the defendant can prove that there wasn't any imminent danger to the kid or his sister. It would be even more bizarre if the burglars counter sue.

I am sorry.. I don't ever recall making comparison btwn Oblivion and Morrowind. I was making a comparison btwn Morrowind and Oblivion in terms of how things improved. I wasn't at all bashing a game based on modern standard. Secondly, I don't recall talking about NPC interactions, I didn't say the way they "talk" or "interact" I said they way they walked. Unless I had a defected copy of a game, the NPCs and you "walked" like a duck. That was really bothersome to me. To the person who posted after, did you even read my post? I said the games visual was great, what bothered me was the gameplay and quest development.
