I finally shelved Skyrim yesterday after squandering months on it...
only to pick up FFXIII - 2. Bang goes another few months.

Well done you. I think I'll be sick of it soon. Maybe. Just one more month.
Heard mixed things about this new XIII-2. I didn't play the original. But might give it a go somewhere down the line.

I always go through the FF releases.
They can be quite hit and miss in terms of their gameplay, but they're invariably great visuals and bubblegum JRPG fun.

I think they've learned about excessive video sequences linked to the random encounters...
and increasingly in later versions you get the option of doing a runner from them. There's a knack to picking your fights to maximise your boonies-per-encounter potential, and not get bogged down in repetitive encounters with low-level crap, or, indeed, excessively powerful Agapanthuses.

Bottom line, people either love them or utterly fail to get them.

The battles in 12 were great. I loved it. But I felt that the story and characters were unmemorable.
I haven't played any since then.

Biggest Timesink ever short of World of Warcraft
fantastic game though but be prepared to spend 5 hours just completing a single quest ;)

Yeah I played EVE Online for a while, talk about time-vampire.
Skyrim's sprawling landscapes look great to wander off in, the danger being that you forget about the real world.

:/

But we all need some form of escapism.

Why do people overcomplicate things?
1. Find youtube video
2. Copy and paste link

None of this clicking share buttons, ticking boxes or anything like that.

Skyrim winewrapper
There's a winewrappered version of Skyrim on PBay for Mac.

I had it running at high res on a iMac i7, works pretty well, not as smoothly as in BootCamp though but thats stating the obvious!

I heard the link for winewrapper (whatever that does) is down.
