Ty man, that clarifys a lot
I'll be able to get more outta it now I understand it better. In fairness it already has gotten under my skin - I spend a lotta time thinking about it, & what I've to do & do next, in the hours before I get to play again. I am a little worried that if I do start to really enjoy it it'll completely overtake my life.

i actually just started playing this.
i never liked elder scrolls before, i loathed Oblivion, so i wasnt even gonna bother w/this. but i eventually gave in.
tbh... it's p good. but i dunno if i'm playing it right. it just doesn't seem very exciting.
& i admit i do have problems w/non-linear games, like it not having a set plot to advance thru the game. or maybe it does & ive missed it, as it's gotten buried under the quest list.
i'm a level 9 atm. think i'm imperial person & have heavy armour w/a steel greatsword.
am i playing it right?
i've just been to the temple to learn the 2nd word of the dragon shout & the first part of the speed blast/run shout & now they've sent me to retrieve something..
had a bit of a fright w/a snow troll on the way up the 7000 steps but eventually gave up & just ran past him.
is there any hints you guys can give me to make it more enjoyable? it just seems like a grind at the minute, especially to level up.... & tbh am not even sure about how to work the leveling up system.

It's not 10 years - it's 4 years since CD came out...something clearly went wrong then with the label...ie no promo etc.....so who knows in a year or two if anyone who was there in 2008 will still be there...label A+R people come and go all the time.
it's 10yrs. more!
i'd be willing to compromise on 2006. i think it was then beta said something like, "everyone knows the record's finished" - meaning they were waiting the label's green light.
was there an album finished before bucket joined?
my point is, the people from 08 may not have been the people from '99, but they still had the same difficulties & trouble in dealing w/Axl as whoever had the privilege prior. & whoever's there currently seemingly have the same or similar issues.
the relationship is clearly damaged. that much we know. whether it's beyond repair is another matter, as is whether there has been any kind of rapprochement, we don't know for sure but from what i can see i don't see any basis for hope. sorry for being a miserable prick about it! (but it's good to be hopeless so it's not all bad!)
#2166 Re: Guns N' Roses » Bumblefoot not happy? Speculating.... » 745 weeks ago
ok. but if that hasn't happened by this stage then why would you suspect it may happen eventually?
new blood hasn't made any difference, on either side of the divide, in recent history.
we've been sat facing the same stalemate for like 10+yrs now. no sign of changes, at least publicly..
#2167 Re: Guns N' Roses » Bumblefoot not happy? Speculating.... » 745 weeks ago
Anyone know what the regime is there now at UniversalInterscopeGeffenPolygramNBCComcastWhat?
I ask because I'm not sure how much real institutional memory there is now. Don't know how much is vendetta, agendas, or whatever (Axl, screw you!), and how much it is money in and money out and what have you done for us lately (Axel, who?).
that is cause for speculation, no doubt.
but the evidence we see (i.e. nothing happening + the fallout from CD's release, Better vid etc) is that there is still underlying friction in the relationship. there remains this institutional memory, & rancour towards Axl/GnR & vice versa prob.
Axl's obv a pain in the arse to work w. this has never, ever changed. & therefore you don't really need memory as everything new creates fresh obstacles & problems w/him. it's ok saying, "yea the label & axl went thru some rough times way back when" but all evidence points to it being an ongoing struggle to negotiate w/him. any new people in still have to deal w/the same demands & problems as those that went before.
#2168 Re: The Garden » Chick-fil-A Controversy » 745 weeks ago
nah it's more than just stupidity.
people fill their lives w/this hateful shit. now part of that is because theyre dumb, yea, but also part of it is they're crazy. & i figure, which is probably where i'm going wrong, that for even a split second these people have an enlightened thought & think "hold on, maybe i'm wrong/wasting my energy" but they can't hold on to it & revert back to their craziness. what i feel is, if they'd just stop & think for even a minute, they could find something more useful to concern themselves with.
& unfortunately it's not just in america. we've got these creationist nitwits over here too, & starting to infiltrate & influence our politics/culture. it would be laughable if they werent so scary/depressing.
#2169 Re: The Garden » Chick-fil-A Controversy » 745 weeks ago
Ok, this thread I got nothing out of. What the fuck are you talking about?
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/08 … rotestors/
seriously, the amount people (not just yanks) spend on lobbying & on lobbying w/repulsive fervour against such meaningless crap as same-sex marriages, i find an utterly depressing waste of resources & humanity.
what the fuck difference does it make to some paedophile preacher from americas bible belt if two fags want to get married? how the fuck is it gonna impact on his life, like?
I DON'T GET PEOPLE. AT ALL. THEY'RE FUCKING MENTAL.
BAD MENTAL.
#2170 Re: Guns N' Roses » Bumblefoot not happy? Speculating.... » 745 weeks ago
In a sick way to me the whole thing is becoming a fascinating case study in human behaviour.
I'm curious to see just how deep some of these people will go.
In Jarmo's defence...it would have been a tough choice when he first started his propaganda mission. He gave up his credibility, renounced his VR fandom to do what he now does on his site, minimise the old band, encourage people to bash past members, and stay true to team brazil regardless of events, no matter if logic, facts and common sense dictate otherwise. But towing that party line gave him incredible access and privileges a hardcore fan growing up like him could only dream off. It would have been hard not to sell out.
But today the cards are on the table. He'll sell bumble down the river along with do anything else that he thinks will keep his position. No Honour and No Shame apparently...but a wonderful photo journalist none the less.....
no mate. for a hardcore fan it would have been easy to call them on their bullshit. that's because true, hardcore fan's care. they care about the band & who follows it. jarmo & these guys care about themselves.
