:ph43r:You guys have my condolences. but thats not why I'm posting now.

First of all I don't really care for Grey's Anatomy, not because it's bad but because so many people watch it and I don't like be like everyone else.

Anyone watch Lost? I must be the only one who thinks that Walt is dead. Seriously,
did anyone hear what he said during the show where Shannon was killed. Yeah that's right you couldn't because he was speaking backwards! Do you think children normally speak backwards i think not that had to be a ghost of some kind and then the kid appears out of nowhere to her in that tent shivering cold and soping wet. I get that they were near the beach but why would he be in the water? If he was escaping wouldn't he stay? These both clearly must be apparitions.

baron--i seriously was going to ask you if you played runescape--but i figured "eh--it doesn't matter" i just thought that you might--i don't play--but i do know some drow-loving kids (and adults) that do...and they're obsessed. runescape was the reason my pre-calc class sucked this year--the TEACHER was obsessed with it and most of our class conversations consisted of "hey jason, how high is your welding up to?" "73" and "hey jason, could you help me get out of the forest with all of the giants and vampires and gobbledeegooks?" frickin wanted to smash his computer with a sledge hammer (my computer smashing is up to 85 btw)

I may try it. I haven't played a strategy game in a while.

I was really looking for an RPG, though... don't they make RPGs that don't require you to be on the internet anymore?

Morrowind would be the best bet for a non MMORPG. Except to give your life up as it is a very deep game with I think 120+ hours of gameplay

:ph43r: is this for computer if so then morrowind is a good choice

but if you have an XBox360 u should get Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
If you just have a regular console i recommend Morrowind i just bought but found out it definitely is not for me Morrowind maps are the most expansive maps i have ever seen, also if dont try it if you like linear gameplay because it is very open-end. It makes grand theft auto seen like super mario brothers.
finally, this is a minor thing, if graphics are important to you won't like morrowind because it came out like 10 years ago.
Note: The majority of the game you will be playin in 1st person view

he only has a PS2... and Oblivion would be his only choice for the 360 as FF what ever number is MMORPG

And for some reason the PC gaming scene of late has been RTS, FPS, and MMORPG's only

:ph43r: theres a morrowind version for the PC (launched on PC)

But, if your willing to wait number of RPGs were shown at E3 that looked very impressive final fantasy XII, Xenosaga Episode III and my personal favorite, Iris no Atelier (Atelier Iris): Grand Fantasm which was one the most impressive games there.

Oblivion System Requirements

Windows Recommended:
3.0 GHz Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent processor
1 GB System RAM
ATI X800 series or Nvidia GeForce 6800 series or higher video card
Yeah, my computer definitely can't handle that.

A couple years, I think... I believe the processor speed is close to 2 GHz, but I need more RAM badly.

Morrowind is running fairly well so far. I think the problem lies with a craptacular video card more than anything.

One of my friends is going to that today; he's telling the camp that I'm at that he needed to see his sister today about something important. Lucky ahole.

He's doing the exact same thing for the AFI concert July 5th.

He said he actually got to talk to the lead singer of Aiden and witnessed (was too far away to actually participate in) a Wall of Death.

I'm unspeakably jealous...

Wall of Death----the entire crowd gets into two sides, and when a certain part of the song comes up, the sides run toward each other.

oh SNAP.

the first relient k concert i went to, one of the opening bands had us do that....

my friends and i were in the very front of it (directly facing the other half), and didn't get out of the way because we had no idea what was going to happen.

that goes on the list of top five scariest moments in my life...having a huge crowd of people fall on top of me.
