I don't think you should trust that date as a release date, because the official one is still only "Early 2006"

This is a rather difficult question for me to answer. I have never been so wanting of a computer game, yet kn9w that it is at least 2 months from coming out...When it does finally get released, the mini-nightmare will be over!!!

Tough question... I have been playing Civ 4 some and of course doing some Poser pics when the creative mood strikes. Today I have been struck by a desire to play Battlespire through before Oblivion, but I couldn't get it to run in DOSBox. What I could find on the web says it won't work because of the video driver it uses. Anyone get Battlespire to run in Windows XP?

I too am really starting to crave Oblivion again though and find myself on the forum boards more often just hoping for those words... GONE GOLD. I think I am going to ask for some vacation days around its release date when it comes.

Heh ironically I've found playing older games helps pass time. For example, Starcraft for the PC is an excellent game to play online or by yourself. Same with Diablo II Lord Of Destruction. Both of those games are pretty old and not very graphically mastered, but I've been addicted to them for quite some time. In fact, I've been playing Diablo II since it came out, which I think is like seven years now. Starcraft I just recently got until I could get my hands on a 360.

I have a few things to do until then, mostly work, but in my free time, if I get to gaming, I'll play:


Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast - yay for lightsaber action!
Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy - even more lightsaber action!
Morrowind - well...yeah smile.gif
TESA: Redguard - still haven't finished it embarrased.gif

Also, I may install DS9: The Fallen again. It is a very immersive, if dated Star Trek FPS. You can play as Worf, Kira or Sisko. It's nice.

Work and playing Civ. IV takes up most of my time at the moment, taking a few Grad Courses as well. If the game does come out in later March, then I will miss the release and all the Chaos at TESF. I am going to Vegas for a week to attend a big bachelor party, should be chaotic enough by itself. viking.gif

Last week, I played Morrowind. This week, Dungeon Siege II. After that, maybe Jedi Academy or Jedi Outcast (my favorite LucasArts game). I've been spending a bit more time reading; I'm currently working on Elvenblood.

Hmm, right now I've been renting (and beating way too fast) various video games, playing AOEIII, wishing the PLAY! concert came to Ontario and since BFME2 is coming out before Oblivion, I'll be playing that.

HAH I just traded an unopened AOE III game for a preorder of the limited edition of Oblivion for 360. I got it for my birthday and my sister was unsure what I wanted, so she thought I might. I actually hate gunpowdery games, I only like the first two AOE games because it was almost all medieval and fun.

Guess my birthday present will have to be 2 days late, well probably more because I live all the way out in NZ.

I have been playing morrowind and commandos 2; I had decided that my holidays would be spent as a hermit so appart from the rare event I get quite literally forced into I spend all my day painting, playing games and talking to people on the internet. Been like that since New Years and will stay that way for a good 2-3 more weeks.
And why you ask if I have so much spare time, don't I do the work I said I would on the W4O bestiary? Because I procrastinate (that and my drawing gear is currently unavailable)

I just discovered BattleField 2 for the PC and I gotta say, its awesome. Definetly enough to keeep me occupied until march. If you dont have this game buy it, the online play is sooo great, if you love FPS's.

What will I do until March 21? Well, I imagine I'll sell copious amounts of faulty wicker baskets over the internet. Beyond that, Katamari Damacy and Rome: Total War will be fun diversions. I might exhume my copy of Morrowind as well, but I've played that one quite enough.

By the way, might I interest anyone in a quality wicker basket?

I'll take seventeen.

I've been playing Morrowind on my new computer and must say, it really is awesome 15th time around. Now that I'm not using my mod-hating computer, I've been enjoying all the new mods. Mmm, new robes.
