I'll second what others have said about it not being as difficult as it seems to build a PC. All you really need to do is buy a book on it, of which there are many available. There are also some online guides which could be just as good, but when I built my first PC I liked having a book. First...

If this situation was reversed, and a gang of non-muslim British girls attacked a Muslim girl, can you imagine the situation being anything like this afterwards? Of course not, they would have been strictly punished. I am a liberal and believe in a liberal immigration policy and I despise the...

I would play both, both have upsides and downsides. Though in a game that hides stats, it might serve to make the stats behind the scenes a bit fuzzy, so even someone who did get hold of the stats behind the scenes couldn't make a clear cut calculation. For example Sword A has the potential to...

The main one for Farnham [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farnham] is probably that it supplied the roof beams in Westminster Hall, built in the Middle Ages and almost the only part of the Palace of Westminster (where Parliament meets) to survive the fire of 1834.

I find myself a bit on the fence about the free speech issue. On the one hand I think free speech is very important and it entails putting up with even the most repugnant bile. Certainly I don't think what the women said just by itself should be a crime, despite being horrible (for example if...

I'd say that the main difference is that 'chav' is a description of a type of person based on social background which by definition entails a number of characteristics, one of which is little education. 'Black' just describes skin colour, that is all it entails.

Yes the hype may annoy you, but I don't see how it makes the fanbase unpleasant, like I said, it's not directed at you - it's the fans talking amongst themselves. And don't you think it's a little hypocritical to complain about being talked down to for not sharing the same interest in games one...

Seems like everyone who has a problem with the TES fanbase is simply infuriated by the hype. I don't get this, if you've actually played CoD or Halo multiplayer, there are some real douchebags. Yet people hate on Elder Scrolls fans for no other real reason than that they love the franchise, and...

Yeah I agree Skyrim fixed and improved some things about Oblivion. And I also have no idea why Oblivion fans would dislike Skyrim - I was introduced to the series by Oblivion and I love Skyrim.

Certainly no MMO or anything like it, that would destroy it. I don't think it needs co-op, and I find myself basically against the idea. Although it could be fun, but only in a limited, strictly voluntary way. Certainly no explicitly co-op dungeons or co-op missions, or reworking of dialog. I...

I heard this line of reasoning before on Youtube, though I don't understand it. Granted I've only just started playing Morrowind (and Arena, Oblivion got me into the series and I wanted to see what it was like before). But I don't see what significant thing Morrowind and Skyrim have in common...

I can't for the life of me understand why so many people on both sides of the "Free Will" debate continue to consider the deterministic nature or lack thereof of the universe somehow important. What does it matter if the universe is probabilistic? How am I any more free if my decisions are...

I love Skyrim and have sunk hours and hours into it, so do most people. Though I think the OP might be right, a few people seem to get very annoyed by aspects which I consider either minor or not bad at all.

What? I never said it took years of practise. I said that a normal one handed sword is not designed for defense at all, it is designed to be used with a shield. I don't know why your friend is learning how to use a parrying dagger, I think maybe some people still try the ancient style, but they...

When I said all of the exact same type perk annoyed me, I didn't mean the one which gives you a boost if you use all light or all heavy, that makes sense, I mean the one which requires you to wear the exact same type, ie all Orcish armour or all leather armour. This doesn't make any sense...
