Basically, just play. As everyone else has said, play some single player, find a character you like, figure out a few basic combos and then take it online. Once you lose, try to learn why. Did you block too much and give them a chance to build up meter? Did you not block enough? When I was...

As someone who LANs once a month and usually goes from 9am-8am the following morning, crash for two hours then 10-5pm, I can vouch that the whole "you'll damage yourself for days" thing is wrong. I usually hit the hay at about 10pm on the Sunday night, then get up at 8am and do a full day's work...

The following will make me sound like a douche, but it's true. I pay for a service, that's what the cost on the menu is. If a menu tells me a pub lunch will cost me £10, that is how much the pub lunch will cost me, and if the only service that I get is an average tasting meal in average...

Now THIS is something that bothered me. I did the Thieves and the Dark Brotherhood, I just got around to "restoring the Thieves Guild to it's full glory", and some punk Dark Elf joined. He mentioned something about being ex Morag Tong, and if I said anything to anyone, the Dark Brotherhood would...

From the way that you're talking, I don't think you know how how TF2 servers work... No, I don't think it's OK, but ultimately it's the server owner's choice. I'm not sure how you think players can be blackballed and "ran through barbwire". Once a game is over, you leave the server, you don't...

Check out my dubs... Never post with a poor connection kids!

But how else can I express my deep love for shooting people/listening to Linkin Park/making videos in Movie Maker? :D Mine? 1) Check the corners. Always. 2) Learn routes. Let other, more experienced players go first, then follow them. 3) Don't be afraid to spectate players. You can...

I personally prefered the Morrowind style of fast-travel, in that you could buy passage to certain towns from certain other towns. It felt more... Immersive. You'd have to plan your journey, such as going from Balmora to Ebonheart, you'd get a siltstrider to Vivec, then a boat from one end of...

Companies, yes. EA, no. The only thing I can see EA bending over to do is shaft this guy for another £20. I'd see if you can find a used copy on ebay or something. Personally I'd Rather All Technically Earned games were available, if only there was a way of doing it... The legit CD key would...

Fire. Since we figured out how to make fire, it's all pretty much been downhill. No fire, no industry, no globalisation, no massive draining of resources.

Yes, yes, by the Nine Divines, yes! Once you get past the feeling that the combat is "broken" (you can look at someone, hit them straight and central with an axe, but it your Axe skill is shit, it won't register as a hit), it's amazing. It's story is second to none, looking around at the RPG's...

Problem is, this isn't how competition works. Competition means lower prices ("Look, Steam are selling it for £5, buy it from us and pay £4 instead!"), better service ("We look after our customers better than EA, buy from us instead") and ultimately a more varied experience. With one...

I'm from Jersey, I know the street it happened on. I work with a guy who leaves his kids with a childminder who lives 2 doors down from the house. In this instance, a gun would only have done more harm than good. All the houses on both sides of the street are granite, there are cars parked on...

Why do you particularly want a laptop as opposed to a proper gaming PC?

When you say 2.9GHz processor, what are you running? Dual, Quad, i series? EDIT: On topic, £75-100 is about right, I spent £87 on my 4870 in 2009
