I probably just need to wait until morning, but I'm really excited to play this game. It's 1230pm, Sept. 3rd, and the game still isn't listed on Steam. Maybe I just have to wait until tomorrow morning. Ne1 know?
Thanks, guys! I've heard of some these books/articles, some of them I haven't. I'm gonna follow them up and look into them or RSS them. I wanna evolve my ideas of what video games are. Lookin' up Jonathan Blow is a good idea! I remember hearing GB interview him once, and he had some pretty awesome ideas; also, Braid is awesome!
I'm looking to explore the idea of video games as art/philosophy/experience. I'm basically just looking to expand on what video games are... I personally think the potential for video games is profound and that the possibilities of video games as art, or as some kind of profound narrative experience with the ability to communicate meaning, are not talked about.... or maybe it is!
That's what I'd like to throw out to you...
Please refer me to any books, articles, or whatever, that you think expand on these ideas.
Chris Melissinos, guest curator of an exhibit about video games at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, explains what makes the genre an art form. The exhibition runs from March 16 through September 30
How do I download and install these mods? I received the update. I thought there would be some kinda button i could click in Steam or in the Skyrim launcher, but I can't seem to find anything... Can anyone tell me please? :) I'm a bit of a newb to this.
The creation kit has not been released yet, thus no "official" steam mods yet. If you want to mod your game the old fashioned way w/o the steam integration and official tools you can google SKYRIM NEXUS.
Oh! I see! I wasn't reading the press release closely enough. I thought it was released, but they're just previewing it! Thanks for clearing that up! :)

My girlfriend, who has been playing the game more than I have, has started having some lag issues which, based on the many accounts I've been hearing, we can expect will get worse. Only after the Giantbomb GOTY comments about Skyrim, and my gf's lag issues, did I decide to find out what was going on and educate myself on all of these problems, visiting forums and websites, etc. I contacted my local EB Games(US Gamestop equivalent), and they told me they wouldn't be able to give me a refund, but suggested that I contact Bethesda themselves. That was to be my next step, hoping they would replace my PS3 version with a 360 or PC version. I haven't done this yet. Maybe I'll put it off in hopes that this patch will come out and fix our lag issues.
(My gf really hates the 360 controller, and prefers that I buy games for the PS3, this is the only reason I bought the PS3 version, FYI)
I'm a level-10(ish) silver league player. I play SCII regularly and, while I'm by no means an expert, I ain't no newb either. I'm growing tired of just going on the ladder, losing some matches and then winning some matches but not really moving up the ladder any. I have an empty friends list and was looking to get some GB people on there so I'm not always just going on the ladder. Feel free to add me as a friend on SCII, or perhaps direct me to a forum where I can find them. Cheers!
