I'm not leaving it up as my bandwidth has been going too fast recently, so save it. :P

I've read yes, I've read no, I've read to turn off autosaving, I've read to create a new save after each bit of playtime (in a different slot, and delete the one before. Supposedly it lowers save size?)

I have Demon's Souls currently, and I've been interested in Diablo, Dragon's Dogma, and DA. Diablo I'm really not sure how I'd feel about the game I've never been a loot hound. DD looks interesting, but I've heard some complaints about it. And playing the demo gave me a iffy feeling about it, although that might be wrong. I'm not particularly interested in Dragon Age besides the newest one.
Sounds like skyrim is really a hit or miss depending on your luck (?) i would just avoid it overall unless you find the GOTY edition for really cheap then you can check if it works now :lol:

Other game that has come recently is bound by flame, but i heard mix opinions so far it's kind of low budget game so keep that in mind.

Yeah, why are the avatar requirements so strict? It's not 2005 anymore :S

Yeah, what is it, 80x80 pixels? I find it really hard to find an avatar that looks good that small. I had to pass on a few that I would have changed to. I'm not advocating for big ass avatars like some obnoxious forums have (along with big ass signatures that take up more vertical space then the actual post) but a little bigger would be nice. :P

Speaking of... Why does the default skin have fixed width? Who doesn't have a widescreen monitor at this point?

Judging by how much even gog games are anathema to some people here, probably more than we think :lol:

Had to get GTA for ps4 the other day and noticed how damn cheap xbox games got. I mean if I spend 30 on castlevania that's one game but 30 can go a long way on the 360. I have to figure out what's good to play on that. Haven't gotten into the 360 in months

The 360 is where it's at for cheap new games. If you are interested in some of the games offered, research a bit to see if DLC was available for the game and see if a "complete edition" exist. Games with all the DLC can be had for less than $30.

Not going to lie but that's probably true since a ton of people are so quick to upgrade and move on now a days(unless they somehow become the skeptical few that are becoming more evident or have already jumped to pc) and completely forget a previous generation(and don't dare act like this isn't true...)
