    The OFFICIAL Anandtech Forums TeS V: Skyrim Thread

    I've played about 20 hours, so far. Overwhelming amounts of stuff to do. I'll run through the wilderness to a quest and a random stranger hands me another quest, which takes me off in a different direction, and before I reach that destination, I get distracted by something else. Great...

    Looks like Skyrim has shipped.

    Wouldn't have been the first time, I found a crack, for a game I bought, to increase the performance or just to get rid of something, which didn't make sense. Can't say I look forward to this game much. Oblivion looked nice, but was extremely boring. Of course, that was a long time ago. Hope...

    Bluescreens when gaming

    Having tested it for a few days, it seems like the bluescreens were caused by the CPU getting too hot. Haven't had any issues since I applied the thermal grease.

    Bluescreens when gaming

    Just applied thermal paste to the CPU. Temperature has dropped 30 degrees Celcius, and it can now pass the test. Will try run it awhile with this, and see if it works. Otherwise, I'll check on the voltage, like suggested. I'll report back regardless, of course, since someone else might be...

    Could use some help understanding this dump analysis

    Thanks for the replies. I've updated all drivers and cleaned out all fans for dust. Everything has always been running at default speed, since I bought it. Installed and ran all the OCCT tests. The CPU test told me the CPU was getting too hit (at 90 degrees. It's an I7 920) Ain't...

    Bluescreens when gaming

    Heya, I've been getting bluescreens while playing games these last couple of days. Did a clean driver sweep, and reinstalled fresh drivers for my devices. Didn't work, though, so I figured out how to open the .dmp files Windows create when it bluescreens, just can't make much sense of it...

    Could use some help understanding this dump analysis

    Nope. Haven't changed any hardware since I bought it (2 years ago) and never had a bluescreen until about a week ago, when it happened the first time.

    AT World of Warcraft Thread (Cataclysm, Where do you play, General BS and all that)

    Ah alright, thanks. Yeah, my idea was to do the first tier of Cataclysm raids, which I haven't done, yet. Was just wondering if I could easily acquire good enough gear, so anyone felt like bringing me, since I have no achievements, or anything.

    AT World of Warcraft Thread (Cataclysm, Where do you play, General BS and all that)

    Heya. Just have a quick question. I haven't played for a long time, and summer vacation is coming up. Felt like playing a little! How long would it take to get my level 80 warrior/paladin up to 85 and geared for the first raid? :P

    What is the most MOD-friendly game out there right now(that is recent)?

    Awesome mods for Civ4, too. Completely changes how the game plays, and looks. Hundreds of hours of extra entertainment!

    The Witcher 2 Has Gone Gold, Releases In 3 Weeks

    The Witcher 2 received very good reviews. Always exceptions to that, no matter how good the game is.

    Why fallout 3 so buggy?

    I remember Daggerfall. If I got lost in a dungeon, I'd intentionally fall through the floor (door frames were perfect for this) and then cast Levitate to fly around outside, until I figured out where the objective was located :P Still spent hundreds of hours with Daggerfall.

    Why fallout 3 so buggy?

    Original Fallout 3 crashed so much, I didn't bother finishing it. New Vegas is running smoothly (with about 20+ mods and all DLC) I've spent over 40+ hours with it so far, and haven't crashed a single time. I like the game a lot more than Fallout 3, too. If you haven't played either, I'd...

    Civilization V, how is it now?

    Installed it. Patched it up. Played it for a few hours. Went back to Civ4. Oh well, maybe next year.

    The Witcher 2 Has Gone Gold, Releases In 3 Weeks

    Skyrim E3 demo & interview.

    Agreed. The leveling system was my main complain about Oblivion. I hope some areas will kick my butt, and I'd feel stronger through leveling by kicking butt in other areas, and I don't feel like jumping around like an idiot, just so I get the opportunity to raise agility :P

    Skyrim E3 demo & interview.

    Don't care how it looks. Oblivion sucked, and was probably the best looking game for its time. I'm more interested if they manage to make it interesting, and smell less of console.

    Does anyone play PC games on their tv?

    I use a 42" 1080p TV, and a 24" monitor. Some games are best on the TV (MMOs, RPGs, etc) Some games like competitive FPS/RTS is best on the 24", because you're more precise, accurate and fast.

    The Blizzard Store

    I agree. As long as you can't buy character strenght, I don't care what people use their money on. I'd personally never buy something like this.

    Ah, this brings back memories. Ultima series had such great games. Ultima Online being my favorite, followed by Serpent's Isle, Black Gate and Underworld.

    Dungeon Siege III - Excitement?

    Had fun with the first two titles, with a few friends. Wasn't fun enough to play alone, and we bought 'em due to lack of alternative coop games at the time. Average Diablo clones, but haven't read anything about the next game, yet.

    SC2: Heart of the Swarm Teaser

    I don't expect better from the next, either. They obviously have the entire story figured out already, but I'll still get the game, since I had a lot of fun with the first installment. Played the gamepaign twice. First on hard, and then brutal to get every single achievement. Then around...

    The Witcher 2 Has Gone Gold, Releases In 3 Weeks

    I know many will not agree with me, but the first game was better than the second. Plot summary of the first game: The game tells the story of Geralt of Rivia, who at the opening of the game is tasked to cure the daughter of King Foltest of a curse which causes her to transform into a feral...

    SC2: Heart of the Swarm Teaser

    Watching those interviews and panels from BlizzCon, it's easy to tell, that if anyone has lost track of what the hell is going on with the stories and characters in the various Blizzard franchises, it's Christ Metzen. I'm happy they're coming up with something new for their next MMO :P

    Everybody's got that one turd sitting on their hard drive. What's yours?

    Haha. I have this and just played it once. It's such a huge step backwards from Civ4, but my faith isn't quite gone, yet. I'll read the patch notes when they release another update. So far, I've been saying "..Not yet" to actually playing it, after finishing reading the notes. Maybe one of...

    When did gamers become such <insert expletive here>!?

    Scaling difficulty should depend on the type of game. For me, having played online games since Ultima Online, is too effecient at making builds for both RPG and strategy games, which means that it could potentially start out rough, but I'll eventually get so far ahead of the AI, that it just...

    SC2: Heart of the Swarm Teaser

    Yeah, that was quite weak - much like the story for SC2. I really enjoyed the campaign of SC2, but the story part was just a huge step backwards from the original game, in my opinion.

    The Witcher 2 or Dragon Age 2: which (in your OPINION, is better)?

    It's not even a contest. DA2 was just lazy design. Had to go through the same boring areas over and over again. Everything looked the same (though I enjoyed some of the boss fights) They got too far with the BioWare name, and the success of the sequel. I really hope they'll do better next...
