Gonna get back into Oblivion. What are the essential mods these days?
Graphical mods are welcome but I don't want mods that make the game easier (ie. Uber Sword that does 500 dmg etc)

I'd love to see something like Alice remade on the Doom 3 engine, for example.
Alice was a pretty decent game, if not underrated. Shame that American McGee is such a slacker, and Bad Day L.A. looks atrocious...
Also, this isn't really related, but do you think after Raven is done with Quake Wars, they might return to the Soldier of Fortune franchise? It'd be great to see that game on the Doom 3 engine.. it would be a nice progression, as in SOF1 on the Quake 2 engine, SOF2 on the Quake 3 engine, and SOF3 on the Doom3/Quake4 engine...

It's occurred to me that I'd like to learn, after denying myself all these years for a relatively stupid reason, just because I've always been a stubborn bastard.
It's not like I want to learn how to play like a rock-god or something, just simple songs.

In this thread we discuss relocating the horde to West Grayside
http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/West_Grayside
specifically the Woolly Crescent [53, 83] area.
I believe that this would be an optimal staging point for brain eating.
Why?
There are 3 Fire Stations, 2 Police Departments, a church, 2 Necro Tech buildings and a Mall all within 3 blocks. There are alaso 2 hospitals within 5 blocks.
This means that there will be a great deal of feasting to be had.
Both the Jillard Building and Darnell Building horde are urged to relocate.
Granted, it doesn't have the name cachet that "Shackleville" has, but initial reports are that Shackleville is a bit boring.
The only thing I could think of is that it's not really in the middle of the map, making it a little more difficult for newbies to join up.
Thoughts?

I've determined that I really, really want a japanese Xbox 360. It's awesome that so many US games aren't region coded, and even then there's the Asian versions for $20 cheaper that are already in english. Yum.
(really I just want to be able to play Senko no Ronde Rev X and Tetris Grand Master Ace)

Considering the Sound-Font file is a pretty big download I recorded samples from a few classic MIDI from Doom 2 & Duke3D. Also captured this song from the Doom 2 mod - Memento Mori II, cause its just fucking awesome! :)
Samples:
http://shadowdane.shackspace.com/midi/Doom2-Map1.mp3
http://shadowdane.shackspace.com/midi/Duke3D-Map1.mp3
http://shadowdane.shackspace.com/midi/Duke3D-Storm.mp3
http://shadowdane.shackspace.com/midi/MementoMori2-Dance%20of%20the%20Sugarplum%20Lunatic.mp3 (Make sure you listen to this one.. its really 10 kinds of awesome!!)
Synergi General MIDI/GS SoundFont:
http://shadowdane.shackspace.com/midi/sYnerGiGS.rar (28mb - 45mb Uncompressed)
Load this in place of the default 4MB soundfont, you will probably have to increase the SoundFont cache to a minimum of 46MB to hold it though.

While I'd say I'm pro at most gaming genres (FPS, Racing, etc) I traditionally suck at RTS's. COH is no exception.
As allies, I stomp the shit out of comp on easy, but get owned on normal.
So ya, I suck. While I've played all the stable RTS's over the years, I favor the slow methodical turtle technique...which absolutely does not fly in COH, even against the comp. In addition I tend to enjoy watching the battles and don't micro worth shit.
This is where you link all the convenient sites featuring strats. (Preferably not replays)

Studio 60: I watched the second episode last night. This show is incredibly boring in my opinion. I really don't care about hollywood writers or how crazy their lives are. I'd rather watch something more thrilling. Obviouslly it is well written and all, but it's just a snooze fest in my opinion. I'd actually rather watch the show that they're pretending to put on, rather then the show itself.
Heroes: Corny corny corny. Im not into superheroes though and I guess if you're into comic books you'd prolly like this. I turned this one off about 20 minutes into it when it got to the cheerleader girl. Yes, I dont need to watch the whole thing to tell I wasnt going to be into this show.
Smith: This show rocks. Seemed very well done for TV. I've only seen the first episode but could tell I'll be enjoying it. It's got good writing, acting, and story telling.
The Unit: I was really into the UNIT last season, but as it got towards the end I began literally falling asleep half way through episodes. I think the whole thing with the wives just kills it for me. I dont care about those wives one bit. Im not sure if they are southern baptist or what the hell they are but they're boring and unattractive. The hottest one looks like something fro m Dark Crystal.
The Office: Funniest show on TV.. this rocks! So far this season seems to be better then the last one even. God I love this show
My name is earl: Ive never seen an episode and missed the entire first season. I plan on renting this cuz everyone seems to like it.
I've missed Jericho unfortunately and hopefully they will replay an encore. Also, I have zero interest in 30 Rock. Tracy Morgan is the suck.

I'm having trouble flying mine. I can get it to lift off, go up and down, and adjust the trim so it doesn't spin clockwise or counter-clockwise, but other than getting the tail to swing left or right, I can't get it to fly forwards or backwards with any control.
Any tips?
