First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, Mar 26, 2006 9:23am PSTAfter some 25 hours of playing time, I finished the main quest in Oblivion today. Though I've done a number of side quests along the way, I just wanted to complete the real story as a hero, before going a different direction with my character (like say, becoming a thief). The main quest was great stuff from start to finish, and overall the game has really just blown me away. Movie: Just imagine all the Snakes on a Plane lines that will be here in the future.

Not bad really. So I will continue to use Wikipedia as a viable source of information.

What an amazing game. I picked up the Raising The Bar book detailing the making of HL2 and I love how they made the game and concentrated on things (except the PR which sucked badly).
The ending though? WHAT THE FUCK! I mean, I can understand a cliffhanger ending, that's fine. This isn't even close to a cliffhanger; it's just a fucking cliff. There's no mystery yet, they just didn't finish the fucking story. I mean, I'm all for suspsense when it works, but this clearly isn't one of the cases.
I feel so completely unsatisfied and it partially ruins the game for me. I don't know if I'm going to be able to play the episode 1 or not (still refusing to buy it), but the fact that they've already announced episode 2 disturbs me as it means episode 1 won't even come close to completing the story. Ugh.
Now it's time to go finish up God of War on the last day of my spring break.

Anyone in VA need a roommate, or a place to live? I really need to move out of this apartment where I live with my exgirlfriend/roommate, and I can't really afford to live on my own...
Anyone know of anything, or of any good place to find a roommate?

Ragnarok endurance arena + Experiment IV
Lvl 236, and with mention of shacknews. :) Thats about 200 levels better than my last best one.
Provoke helps when you are just plinking opponents. Just turn quick attack, auto provoke and autoheal on, and thats it. Just let it grind on the background.
oh well sopranos was good

HDTV Menz:
If you have your PC hooked to your HDTV, say via DVI-I as some HDTVs come with this input, can you play DVDs on your PC's DVD-ROM drive and full-screen them and have them look good on an LCD HDTV, or are you better off getting a DVD player and hooking that directly to the TV?
Also, will a DVD (480i/p) look better full-screened on a 32-37" LCD HDTV (say resolution is 1366x786 or thereabouts) or full-screened on a 24" Dell 2405FPW at 1920x1200? Clearly the HDTV will be the larger picture size and you'll likely be sitting back further from the screen, but taking that into account, which will look better?

Halen mentioned using dscaler to improve the quality of DVDs played on a PC. I have browsed the website (http://deinterlace.sourceforge.net ) but am still uncertain how to use this software. I'm about to install it to see if it makes more sense firsthand. http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=11863623

Only problem is that a number of CDs that I own have bizarre smudges that aren't coming off using gruv glide or alcohol. Is this where the toothpaste trick comes in handy?

Today, however, I hate my feet for their (normally helpful) excessive size. I went to four different shoe stores, trying to find a pair of cleats, which I haven't bought since maybe middle school. Although it was pretty simple back then, my feet have grown just a tad, and to my frustration I found out that almost no one carries size 13 cleats.
At the only store with a few cleats in my size, Sports Authority, the 3 I tried on were either too narrow across the toes (curse my feet's unconformity!) or too expensive. Gah!
