We're back for a third season! Seb and Cam kick things off with the Iron Man suit, throwing weapons, and the terrifying Villager.
Some really nice mods this time, and I love the music, so lovely. Nice touch.
1 LikeSpeaking of Mods, the Hulk has found his way to GTA IV ^_^, i know it's not skyrim but anyone into mods should find it interesting http://bit.ly/14VV3Jl
Now it's time to go postal with the villager in Skyrim.
1 Likealso weak mods. Not able to fly as iron man? Not worth it.
I haven't played the game in a long time. I am simply bored of it. I dont plan on going back too it either.
Yeah I sold my copy. Just got board of it. I wish a game like this would offer a few years of quest small and large. That would be an awesome game. I like these mods but if u have nothing to do in the game but kill stuff what fun is that.
I don't play Skyrim, but where is the Chuckie mod already !?
Now, if I could run around as a little murderous doll...

How did they not launch the Villager off the Free Fall Tower with chickens?!
@the_big_doggg Fine, I agree that you may say something and report a comment like this so that the police will investigate him.
But putting him in prison right away? What if my friend hacked my account and wrote something stupid like "I'mma shoot up a school" as if it were me? Am I going to be put in jail and then get abused like this kid?
Maybe someone should hack your account and do exactly that, because then you might get a glimpse of how screwed up this whole story is. A freaking Facebook comment that even ended with the words "lol, j/k" was taken as serious as a legit terrorist threat.
What the hell is going on in today's world? Not only are there people who think first-person shooters, or any type of game,really, can turn you into a killer, but there are police men who will lock you up for a stupid Facebook comment.
I guess its a game based off of a sport, a sport that changes very little except the occasional rule review or salary cap increase. When you get to the level of complexity that simulations such as Madden/NCAA hold there is very little left to innovate, so each sequel is only ever going to be derivative or iterative.
Is it fun? Yes, it is still fun. Is it good value? Hell no, not if you own the last game in the series. But, unfortunately this can be said for many franchises, some of which have much more scope for innovation - such as the Military Shooter genre, yet we are often less harsh on these yearly editions than we are on many sports franchises/wrestling games.
Why is that?
Fans of amateur athletics huddle in front of their television sets every Saturday, cheering mightily for something unexpected to happen. Notre Dame, Oregon, Boise State, and countless other paper tigers have flirted with destiny, only to fail before reaching hallowed ground. No matter how hard you root, no matter how promising a freshman class may seem, the results are always the same: the best team in the nation is from the Southeastern Conference. Sadly, the NCAA Football franchise has fallen into the same rhythm as its real-life counterpart. There are no more surprises in store, nothing to make you take notice. Instead, NCAA Football '14 is the same old game you've been playing for years.
The on-field action should be very familiar for those who have played recent entries in the franchise. Receivers still have a better chance of getting open if they run across the field rather than take off on a deep route, linemen still mush together at the point of attack, and cornerbacks are cursed with brick hands. Still, slight tweaks to the physics system mean that hits carry the weight you would expect from 300-pound athletes, and the option offense has finer control than before. Reading the defensive end's movement as your quarterback runs laterally works well, and it's satisfying to pitch the ball to your fullback just before you get laid out. When you're immersed in a high-stakes game, it's easy to forget that you've seen this all before and enjoy the violent chess match that's unfolding.
Off the field, NCAA Football '14 has followed the trend that is seemingly creeping into every game genre. The game has role-playing elements. Your coach now earns experience points for your accomplishments. Registering a sack or forcing a turnover fills up a progress bar, and once you reach a new level, you unlock special powers on a skill tree. So no longer do you have to be content with merely adding points to the scoreboard when you get into the end zone; you earn progress in the expansive metagame as well. Although this new addition does reward you for playing well, it feels like a desperate attempt to add something novel to a tired franchise. The skills system is added busywork that urges you to spend more time navigating menus than delivering wicked hits on the field.
Recruiting has also seen a revamp, although instead of adding something new, it takes away what was previously there. The minutiae that defined the recruiting process have been completely stripped away. No longer do you decide how much time you want to spend with each recruit, delegating assistant coaches to seek out lower-priority candidates while you, as the head coach, meet with only five-star prospects. Instead, there's just a pool of points that you dole out. Gone too is the interviewing minigame. Before, you would learn the priorities of each high school star and try to appeal to his particular ambitions. This system had a number of flaws, but it was still fun to learn who each player was on a personal level. Now, players are just raw stats, and it's not as engaging to build a dynasty without that human element.
NCAA Football '14 does make a strong attempt at introducing the complexities of the college game to those who are not intimately familiar with it. Nike Skills Trainer walks you through the major scenarios you face during a game, and the time spent on the practice field pays off once you take to the field on game day. Learning how to use your blockers or when to throw a fade versus a bullet is important knowledge, as is coming to grips with the sometimes overbearing audible system. Considering how complicated the core action has become, Nike Skills Trainer is a solid addition that provides a much smoother learning curve than previous games in the series.
And you need those skills if you're going to compete against other players online or locally. NCAA Football '14 is at its best when you're matched up against another person of similar talent. Pulling out crucial first downs or making momentum-swinging goal line stands is an incredible feeling, especially when you exchange some well-meaning pleasantries with your vanquished opponent. True nail-biters even get credited as ESPN Classics, so it's worth trying your hardest even when you get down a few scores. You never know when the ball will finally bounce your way and you can get the last laugh on the road to victory.
It's a shame that NCAA Football '14 has the same problems the franchise has been burdened with for years. The on-field action is tight and rewarding, but everything else is sloppy at best. There's no reason to clutter up the coaching system with needless experience points or strip out all of the personality from recruiting. NCAA Football has never been able to match the enticing action of the sport with equally engaging off-field activities, so it creates a jarring disconnect when you have to plow through tedious menus to accomplish anything away from the field. There's little worthwhile in NCAA Football '14 you couldn't have experienced in previous games, but at least it's still fun to smash your rivals when you head onto the field.
Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter has spoken about how he believes Nintendo's Wii U will be unable to compete with the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and declared that Nintendo's home console will finish a "distant third in this console race."
"Nintendo's in trouble right now," said Pachter in an interview with ABC News. "Nintendo, I think, waited two years too long to launch a competitive console, you know, a high-definition console with the PS3 and the Xbox 360. I think by the time they did launch a console that stacks up really well, the other two guys passed them by."
Microsoft and Sony will both launch the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 later in 2013, a year after Nintendo launched the Wii U.
Pachter believes the lack of third-party publisher support will also contribute to Nintendo being unable to sell the Wii U to a mass market audience. "The publishers are pretty excited about supporting the Xbox One and the PS4. They really didn't say anything [during E3 2013] about the Wii U."
During E3 2013 Nintendo revealed its suite of first-party Nintendo software for the coming months, including Super Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8, and The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD.
Nintendo reported in April that sales of the Wii U stood at 3.45 million worldwide, as Nintendo reported a profit of ¥7.09 billion ($71.3m/£46.7m) for the financial year. Nintendo has also said that its 3DS has become the console of choice in Japan.
"We know EA has no games in development for Wii U," added Pachter. "If others follow suit, I mean if you see Activision pull support, if you see Ubisoft, you see Take 2 pull support, the Wii U is a Nintendo-only gaming device, which is the way they were back with the NES in 1985. They're not going to sell a lot of consoles if they don't have games like FIFA, and Battlefield, and Call of Duty, and Grand Theft Auto."
EA said in May that it had no games in development for the Wii U, but has since tried to retract its statement. Ubisoft continues to support the machine.
"I think [Nintendo] are at the bottom of a huge mountain with a huge uphill climb," said Pachter. "I don't think they're going to get that mojo back. I think these two guys are passing them by. And this PS4, priced $50 more than the Wii U, why would anybody buy a Wii U? Unless they just have to play Nintendo games. I think the way it actually shakes out is anybody who buys a Wii U that really is a hardcore gamer is going to buy an PS4 or an Xbox One in addition, so they can play those third-party titles they love. So I think Nintendo becomes a distant third in this console race."
The Xbox One and its dashboard user interface were built with advertising in mind, key members of Microsoft's UK Xbox Live Advertising team have told website StickTwiddlers on a recent visit to the company's headquarters.
A two-hour discussion with the senior digital art director/user experience designer and technical account manager for Xbox Live advertising revealed that all advertising created for the platform must work with both a standard Xbox controller and the console's mandatory Kinect camera system.
"With the new Xbox One, the technology and Kinect has improved a lot," said the technical account manager for Xbox Live Advertising, "so that actually, the voice recognition, the way you speak to your Xbox, and the transition between gaming and watching TV is a lot smoother, and hopefully we can transpire that into advertising that we do.
"Xbox is moving more outside of the bedroom. We're seeing much, much more people use it in living rooms where there is family, friends, there is lots going on, so there is a context of perceiving the content," the senior digital art director/use experience designer said. "It's not like when you're at work, when you sit in front of a screen and your experience is very personal. But with Xbox, it's lots of people in front of one big screen. They are playing or watching together, and advertising is being consumed in a totally different way."
Microsoft hopes that the inclusion of Kinect with every Xbox One system will allow the company to better serve contextually relevant ads, and that integrating advertising material within content will make it less jarring.
"On Xbox, the ad is part of the actual experience, it's not something that is outside. The only difference is that the advertisement we have is quite small and not disruptive, so people are not aware of clicking on the banners because they know this is a part of the whole experience on the dash," the senior digital art director revealed. "So the users know that this is something that when they click on it, they won't be hit by something crazy or something dangerous like on the web. Everything that lands there, we create."
Microsoft's advertising team believes the upcoming Xbox One will allow advertising to evolve in line with the platform's gaming content.
"It's going to be an exciting transition, though, because the 360 console wasn't built with advertising in mind, it was more of an afterthought, so we've had to adapt to the technology and how we work to fit them in to the console," said the Xbox Live advertising technical account manager.
Users concerned that the Xbox One and its Kinect camera may be collecting personal, identifying, or biometric information from the system should not be concerned, the team said.
"This sort of works at two levels. There's the game producers, who have a different API, so a different set of code and system that they use, and they've got a lot more control of the whole thing," the developer commented, "whereas from the advertising point of view, we have a slightly more limited set, which is designed to protect the user. The company is very keen on protecting the user from any sort of abuse, so we can't do certain things."
Originally likened to a "monitoring device" by Germany's federal data protection commissioner, Microsoft has attempted to allay consumer fears that its new home console will spy on its users. The company recently released official information on how the Kinect camera can be paused, which personal data the system will collect, and how it will be shared with third parties.
Blizzard has confirmed that it is actively exploring in-game micro-transactions for its popular MMO, World of Warcraft.
The news comes after players discovered the Enduring Elixir of Wisdom on the game's Public Test Realm (PTR). The item, which has not been added to live servers, grants players a 100 percent increase to all experience earned when killing monsters and completing quests.
A post on the game's forums by Blizzard community manager Zarhym said the item is part of a larger experiment related to giving players in certain, unspecified regions the opportunity to purchase digital goods from within the game world.
"We are currently exploring the possibility of adding a way for players in certain regions to make purchases directly within the game. As part of this process, elements related to this will be appearing on the PTR. We'll provide additional updates on our plans as development progresses."
The company has previously made available a mixture of items through its Blizzard Store, including pets, mounts and an in-game Cinder Kitten, which saw all proceeds donated to help Hurricane Sandy victims.
EA may be looking at the possibility of adding offline play and other features to SimCity as part of its future updates for its world-building series, according to a customer survey that has surfaced on Reddit.
The survey, which can be seen here in screenshots, seeks player feedback on potential upcoming features. These include: farms, faster rebuilding after disasters, over and underpass roads, cities twice the size of current land plots, terraforming, cooperative city building with friends, and Classic mode. The latter is described as allowing players to, "In offline or online mode, play a single, fully functioning city using cheats and unlocks that allow you to create your perfect city."
Among other possible changes are four new additions to an upcoming expansion pack. Simulate to the Sky is described as adding the ability to build up instead of out to create SuperScrapers. Players will also be able to zone the new building type residential, commercial and industrial concurrently, as well as create multi-layered transportation, and improve overall city density to raise populations.
Greed cities add a resource-consuming mega corporation that boosts profits; a robotics augmentation business, and increases the total amount of trash and pollution produced. Conversely, green cities add an academy to research advanced technology, generate wealthy, highly-skilled workers, and your city will better collaborate with others on research.
The last component of the new expansion pack is called Transform Tomorrow. It will allow players to watch their cities change as future technologies are added, or see your region become affected by the actions of your future cities.
Launching to low review scores and server troubles, Maxis co-founder Will Wright described the game's initial release as being "inexcusable," for consumers, saying that both EA and Maxis failed to adequately communicate with players.
GameSpot contacted EA seeking clarification regarding the customer survey. A spokesperson from the publisher was unavailable at time of publication.
The Xbox Live Arcade version of Fez will receive a patch to fix the game's save-corrupting bug, developer Phil Fish has announced.
"GOOD NEWS EVERYONE: we're going to patch FEZ on XBLA!" wrote the developer on Twitter.
In 2012, Fish opted to re-release a patch that corrupted a small percentage of users' save files because fixing the error would result in having to pay Microsoft tens of thousands of dollars to get the downloadable title certified through Microsoft's submission process.
"It's going to take a few months, though," added Fish, "but we're doing it!"
Microsoft revealed recently that it no longer charges developers tens of thousands of dollars to patch and re-certify their games on Xbox Live Arcade.
"We're not going to patch the patch," said Fish last year. "Why not? Because Microsoft would charge us tens of thousands of dollars to re-certify the game. And because, as it turns out, the save-file delete bug only happens to less than a percent of players. As a small independent, paying so much money for patches makes NO SENSE AT ALL, especially when you consider the alternative. Had Fez been released on Steam instead of XBLA, the game would have been fixed two weeks after release, at no cost to us."
Fish previously confirmed that the recently announced Fez II would not be coming to Xbox platforms.
