Hockey is definitely the hardest. Not only do you have to learn how to ice skate, you have to learn how to do it athletically while keeping track of a tiny puck.

This. I've attempted all four sports at some point in my life, and hockey is far and away the one out of the pack that you can't just pick up and play. The one time I tried to play in a game of hockey was one of the most publicly embarrassing moments of my life.

Speaking of, the fact that 'bitch' was censored but 'shit' wasn't.

One is frequently used as a slur only recently undergoing reclamation efforts by modern women.

The other is just a rude word for excrement, with relatively little cultural baggage.

I don't find that very surprising. People were may more cautious about potentially objectionable content in the nineties than they are now.

I think you're reading too much into it; it was only surprising because 'bitch' is allowed on venues like network tv where 'shit' is not.

I still prefer the book version simply because she reveals herself at the start of the fight, and the Witch-King gets punked knowing that she actually has a chance to beat him.

Ideally it would've been awesome if her identity had been revealed to the audience at that moment as well, but that wouldn't have been possible in movie format.

Define "cheating". If KOTR / etc count as cheating, then I don't think I actually have. If you only mean literally gamesharking / save hacking, then yes, I have.

I believe it was Aegis Armlets that gave everyone the magic evade necessary to work around Ruby's Ultima counter.

Wasn't the magic evade stat on armours bugged so it just used your Spirit stat?

It's Mystile, not Aegis Armlet. Or it might have been "both, but Mystile is even better" - I do remember there being another one that was almost as good.

And no, it's not the magic evade, it's the magic defence that's bugged.

Mystile definitely sounds familiar, but I can't remember for sure. Whichever one gave you something like 60% magic evade. I think you could only get two of them, so Aegis Armlet went on the 3rd member.

Playstation consoles were and continue to be the best way to experience Bethesda open-world games.

Wasn't there a game ending issue in the PS3 version of Skyrim where each save would bloat with more and more information until the game became so laggy that it was unplayable?

That was not only kinda the joke, but it was also entirely the joke ;-)

But hey, at least Sony turned it around with the PS4 by offering vastly superior mod support over the xb1.

Hopefully the sarcasm is much more obvious this time around.

Tom Cruise being a friggin' nut who willingly does stuff like this is most definitely the exception, not the rule.

His nasty ankle break is also the perfect example of why stuntmen should be used as well

Indeed. 'Willingly' probably wasn't the optimal word in my post; 'insists on' is more likely on the money. He's at least been pulling this stuff since MI2's crazy bike-joust, possibly earlier. And no matter how much training he's had personally, it's got to be a headache for each stunt team he works with to make absolutely sure that megastar Tom Cruise doesn't get maimed or killed onset.

I mean, I'd love to give the guy credit for having the cajones to do these stunts, but he probably just believes that the galactic overlords are beaming an impenetrable forcefield around him at all times.

Thurman says that in Kill Bill, Tarantino had done the honors with some of the sadistic flourishes himself, spitting in her face in the scene where Michael Madsen is seen on screen doing it and choking her with a chain in the scene where a teenager named Gogo is on screen doing it.

What a fucking scumbag.

Another well-known instance is when it was his hands actually strangling (as in not a fake choking) Diane Kruger in Inglorious Basterds. Lesser known is when this came up during a Conan interview and Conan asked him why he would insist on doing that, to which Tarantino replied 'you mean apart from the sheer sexual satisfaction of it?'

It's a worst-kept secret that Tarantino's always been into some weird and possibly dark kinks; since I share a few of those kinks, I always felt a touch of kinship with him. Now that I know there's a angry and forceful side to his personality that has likely bled over into that aspect of his life and filmmaking, it definitely sours that sentiment.

Enchant those rings brah

With empty Grand S...

Hm. What enemies have Grand Souls?

Pickings are slim in this department - mammoths are the only truly reliable source of white grand souls. You can get them elsewhere from high-level monsters like certain draugr deathlords (or bosses like dragon priests), but these are level-dependent, unreliable and largely unrenewable.

But the strength of the soul gem has no relevance to how fast the Enchanting skill grows. So just hit up every mage / general goods merchant and buy all the petty soul gems you can get your hands on.

You should instead be making Dwarven Bows and tempering high-value weapons and armor, like Dragon Priest masks and Daedric artifacts.

And Smithing is one of those skills where it's worth it to sink the gold into training, same as Enchanting and Restoration.

The Synod head at Mzulft goes back to Cyrodiil and gets his buddies to come to Skyrim and confiscate the orb. If you kill him, he never does that, and the Synod never comes

Again, the Psijics are the ones who confiscate the Eye, not the Synod. I don't doubt that you're right in what occurs if you kill the Synod member, but this sounds more like a bug / scripting interruption than a legit story option.
