Morrowind (the area) just looks like a greyer version of Skyrim in this DLC.

Still pumped about it though.

It's Solstheim, an island between Skyrim and Vvardenfell. It looked like Skyrim in Bloodmoon too.

If anything, this new Solstheim looks more like Morrowind than the old one did. Bloodmoon wasn't this grey; Presumably the eruption of Red Mountain is to blame. Those are definitely Corkbulbs, Ashland plants.

I wish I still had Skyrim :(

Firstly, does Battle.net ever have sales? Should I buy Heart of the Swarm now or later?
______________________________

Okay, wacky Dragonborn theory (partly mine, mainly not) ahoy - there are some good reasons for this one, but I'm not linking a dozen different UESP pages:

At some point after the Heart of Lorkhan was broken in Morrowind, the throbbing remains were reclaimed by Dwemer survivors, and stashed in a TARDIS-style lockbox. Hermaeus Mora, Daedric prince of fate, knowledge and magic - basically the Elder Scrolls Tzeentch (complete with tentacles and talking vortices) - takes an interest in it, presumably having forseen some vital need for it in the swirling future that others cannot. So he sends a few cultists crazy, and asks them to open this damned box. He can distort reality to a degree, but Dwemer technology tends to be resistant to magic (remember Spell Breaker?).

So it turns up in a glacier in Skyrim, and with your help, Septimus Signus opens it. Old Hermy darts in, warps out whatever the box contains and disintegrates Signus just for good measure. Either to throw him off the scent or show genuine gratitude, he chucks the Dragonborn a free copy of his book (not even signed!) and goes off on his merry way.

Now look at that screenshot of the Sleeper. Note the plain architecture, majestic but functional, like an old library. Look at the column, with the stuff falling out. Zoom in. Those aren't bricks, they're books. Featureless, black-covered books. Incidentally, Apocrypha, Hermaeus Mora's plane of Oblivion, is an endless library full of featureless, black-covered books.

So, Hermy's bringing Oblivion to Solstheim. He's mobilising his cultists, who all wear tentacular masks of their patron. But what have Ash Zombies and Sleepers got to do with it? Well, they were once Dunmer, corrupted and sustained by the power of the Heart of Lorkhan. Vvardenfell's been levelled, the Ghostfence is no more. Whoever controls the Heart controls its children, and a certain heap of Daedric flesh just happens to have a new toy...

And the Dragon Priest? No idea. There are all sorts of reasons to get chummy with a being who knows almost everything, especially when all of your kin are dead...

5th and final episode of The Walking Dead by Telltale Games will be released on the 20th and 21st of November, next week. Looking forward to it. The game will probably go on sale too, as per usual.

I'm pretty sure Activision would forbid that from happening, because I've never seen a Battle.net sale. I'd just buy it now.

Is it out? I haven't heard anything about it for some time.

I am going to buy GTAV just to play as Trevor. I like Trevor.

Pre-orders opened today.

For £32.99. Via digital distribution. In 2012.

Damn it, Blizzard. I wish your games were shit so I didn't have to pay for them.

Diablo 3 was pretty shit in my opinion. I haven't played it since a few weeks after it came out, though, so maybe it's improved.

Starcraft II is amazing though.

The latest patches added some cool stuff, but on the whole it's a bit dull.

I'm not going to bother reinstalling it when I get a new HDD.

Yeah, I can't see myself going back to it. I'd rather play Diablo 2 any day. They just did everything right with that one.

Have you tried Torchlight 2? Because that game is fucking great.

It has certain drawbacks, but it's really fun.

No, but I've heard good things. Like that it's a Diablo clone, which if done right can be fucking awesome. I also heard that some of the Diablo/Diablo II team worked on it.
I played the demo for the first one and it seemed pretty good. I'll give it a shot next time Steam puts it on sale.

Yes, that's right. The developer studio, Runic Games, was created by former Blizzard members

Sounds great, I have been considering getting Torchlight 2 for a while. If it's got the approval of you guys then I'm definitely grabbing it. Especially now I know that Runic is composed of Blizzard members.

At this point I'm obligated to mention Titan Quest, which is reeeaaally good.

This game looks sick!

That game had better be good otherwise they got me all worked up for nothing.
It will be good.

I love how they went back to the design of the original alien, with the skull visible inside the semi-transparent head.

Man I can't wait for this game.

Some developers just want to see things burn

Oh, Varrok. No, sweetheart. Just no.

I'm actually sorry for that... weird

Ontopic: How do you get money for burning old things?

It reminds me of Salad Fingers.

A couple of the guys who worked on Little Inferno also worked on World of Goo. I had no frigging idea what the game was, but I pre-ordered it anyway.

Haven't played it yet, mind you. But I will when I have the time.

So... You burn things? That's it? Seems kind of boring. Can you even lose?

So you pile up goo? That's a bit boring.

I assume it's more fun to play.

Having played Little Inferno for an hour, I still don't know what the hell it is. But I sure as hell want to play more.

Mirror's Edge 2 is in production at DICE

Fantastic.

Good to hear, there hasn't been any news of it for about two years.

Why?

I assume CP likes Mirror's Edge, and that is why he's excited about the sequel

Why?

Because, despite it being an EA game, I have to admit it has some fun elements.

It's fun if you just appreciate the freerunning and totally ignore the story.

And the bloom. Oh god the bloom.

I played it on a weak notebook, with all effects disabled, and I skipped most of the story. So I guess you might be right.

Why?

Because you must love being negrepped by Nate D:

Mirror's Edge was fantastic and I'll pound anyone who says otherwise with my bony little fists.

I liked the bit where the baddie said 'You can't live your life on the edge. Sometimes you just have to jump!' and the bottom of his helicopter becomes grabbable. That was cute.

Other than that, I didn't like the game one bit.
