    We have a copy and want a earphones/mic but the lad says he wants it especially if you can only play online against others who have earphones/mic and I was wondering if anyone knows if there is an online option to play against guys who he can communicate with.

    Mods, feel free to scrap this thread once my minute dilemma is over :)

    I don't THINK so, if he has friends on x-box they can play against each other on line and chat by swapping username profiles and adding eachother as friends but, for just online use against randoms i think you get stuck with whoever.

    I thought as much, I watched 4 games so far and no one has had a mic/earphone set yet. I added to your reputation, thanks for the help buddy.

    No. Get it for PC (assuming your PC is up to the recommended specs) <ok>

    Skyrim is an open world game, there are no levels or stages, there's just a huge open map, and you can choose to play constructively, or do your own thing.

    You can become a bandit and kill everything, do quests for Kings, travel around places leveling up etc.

    The further you go out and explore, the more chance you're going to find creatures/enemies that can kill you.

    I remember going too far out as a low level, and this giant saber tooth tiger jumped out of no where. I **** myself.

    Aye. Lol.

    I just heard this random soundtrack start playing when I was wandering up the mountain to meet the priests. I was like "wtf is th OMFGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD AAAAAH".

    Turns out the "epic music" is a symbol for Sabers.

    If you have a wife and kids do not buy Skyrim.

    Seriously though, I've had it for about a week and ive pretty much done nothing else. Its an amazing, MASSIVE game. I'm not usually one for rpgs but I'm all over this game!

    Definately get it, but make sure you have a bit of spare time when you start it. It's not a game you can play for an hour here and there like COD or Fifa etc.

    I mostly use Skyrim to re-enact historical sporting/celeb crimes... Here's what I now know;

    1. If Oscar Pistorious had have suspected a burglar, crept along the corridor to the toilet (or alchemy lab, as is the case in toilet-less Skyrim) without looking in the bed, opened the door and starting hacking and slashing at the figure with a iron greatsword of immense magical properties... Yeah, I'm pretty sure he knew it was his wife. My wife, a rather fearsome looking orc (no jokes about DT), did not appreciate the recreation. RIP.

    2. OJ Simpson probably did it. I'll have no flipping REDGUARD talking to my woman! Made strong by all the various concoctions, it was a very simple crime to commit. And having destroyed the last witness, I got away with it. No bounty or nothing. Textbook recreation.

    3. If the guy that died at Michael Barrymore's party was anything like the deer I lured into a river, he was probably just trying to escape all the arrows... Poor beggar never saw that cave bear coming <wah>

    Try this a great formation to play on Fifa with our team -

    ------Remy-------Cisse--------

    ------------Cabaye-------------

    Marveaux------------------Ben Arfa

    -------Anita----Sissoko----------

    ----Mbiwa--Colo--Santon------------

    ------------Krul-----------------------

    Awesome formation.

    Anita and Sissoko with their pace aiding defence and attacks, harassing players and making it difficult to pass around for the opponent.

    Cabaye comes back to help defence, but he also finds space in the box extremely well.

    Ben Arfa cutting in from that right wing, and Marv whips in gorgeous crosses.

    I play slightly defensive. Remy is an awesome target man. 91 jumping and 86 heading acc. He wins a lot in the air, so I knock long balls up to him if I'm in a tight spot or from goal kicks, and I'm immediately up the pitch.

    My brother has spent the last two years designing and programming his very own PC Game. Everything is hand drawn, all of it is done from scratch (he retaught himself Trigonometry to get the angles correct). Also, it has an original sound track created by my other friend who is a music producer.

    If anyone is interested in a click and shoot, all out mayhem kind of indepent game, check out his website:
