I was surprised by how much I didn't get on with Skyrim.


I know I've said it all before but I played Oblivion to death, and objectively Skyrim improves on pretty much everything in that game. But it leaves me cold


Having finished the Other Big Games I have returned to it a few times and just float around for a bit. Literally. That's one of my problems with the elder Scrolls games is how floaty everything is. Combat especially


I know it sounds like I'm trying to poo poo other people's opinion of the game and I'm really not. It's just surprising to me how much my tastes have changed between Oblivion game and Skyrim

I've said before, I kind of feel the same, but I don't think I've given Skyrim enough time to really draw me in.


Thing is, Oblivion had that wow factor, when you saw just how big it was, and how great the world looked. Skyrim has improved on that, but you expect it, so it doesn't bowl you over like Oblivion did.


Dragons are always a point scorer though.


I did pretty much everything in Oblivion, and some DLC, but haven't even started the shimmering isles, so could even still go back to that one day...

I am playing GTA V and am about half way through. Way more playable than 4 with brilliant missions. Love having three characters to play. Only drawback is that I can only play when there are no kids about becuase of the language and frequent use of N word!

I'm playing it as well. Really enjoying it. I get some strange looks from Mrs. Onion for the language, or just bursting out laughing at some of the dialogue. Some of the commentary is very entertaining.


I've played a bit of the online. A bit of a grind in some way, but so many things you can do. Overall though it seems to have lost a bit of the chaos of multiplayer on 4.

I've not gotten round to exploring yet, but plan on a hike up the mountain at some point. Gameplay time is very limited due to kids though, and by the time they're in bed I often don't even have the energy / motivation left to turn on a game console, I just sit there staring blankly at the telly.

Recommendations wanted.


Mrs Otta has said she might like to get herself a game for the xbox, but I don't know what to recommend because I'm not in to her kind of thang. Basically she really liked Pikmin on the old Nintendo, and she probably likes the likes of Sim City.


Anyone got any recommendations for games like that? I thought about Sims 3, but not sure she'd dig that.

      Fines for parking in loading bay for 2 minutes - appeal?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      I appealed against a fine issued by Southwark, and won. The adjudicator was businesslike, but also mentioned that several cases had come to him caught out by the same confusing signage.    Is there any other parking that could reasonably have been used? Does the shop advise where to park?  It sounds as though the time in the bay was a reasonable use. Even if you lose, I doubt that Southwark can increase the original charge. If you are going to appeal, don't delay. Take pictures of the scene if you think that might help, also provide the weight of the goods if that supports your case.

      Any dogs experiencing gastrointestinal enteritis after swampy rye walk?

      Thanks - an overnight stay,  a drip and painkillers seems to have done its work!

      Derelict Grove Tavern

      By jazzer · Posted

      Depends on who can afford to purchase or lease it and what The Dulwich Estate, Stonegate and Southwark Council will allow to be built or operate on the site. Whatever it is, it needs to attract footfall for itself and businesses around it. The question to ask is what does that part of Dulwich need, that is not within the locality, which will attract custom and footfall, that the site can accommodate and that can offer parking which it already has available. In between Cox's Walk, Dulwich Village, Dulwich College and the park, some sort of establishment that sells drinks and meals. Bit then I'm just chucking ideas around, or maybe someone, Dean, has some radical idea's to take it in a totally different direction.    Whatever it becomes it has to be better than the rotting site and eyesore it currently is. Good luck to anyone who takes on the project to redevelop the former Grove Tavern.
