My experieence with Bethesda is something akin to drug addiction. I have an estimate of 1500+ hours of gameplay between Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Oblivion and Skyrim.
Then there will be Deus Ex - Mankind Divided. Deus Ex is really one of the best series I ever played. Maybe in the future there will be The Witcher 3, I hope to find a megapack with all the DLCs at a reasonable price. And then... Mass Effect Andromeda. I'll buy it on trust, I loved the ME franchise including the books and comics.

I think we play very simialr games!
Bethesday is real good value!
Bioware is becoming merely acceptable!
I have to confess I am addicted to Diablo! This is certainly more shallow than skyrim, but I came back to it for hundred upon hundred of hours!
Overwatch seems very promising too!

I don't know how Andromeda will be as it will be based in another galaxy so many things could be different - or not. I will buy it without even reading reviews, as I've done with Skyrim. I risk wasting money but I'm fairly convinced that the risk is low.
Diablo is just not my kind of game, I'm a first person view fan - I enjoy ME only because it has a GREAT third person view, the only one in over 23 years of gaming that does not give me problems of any kind.
Bethesda... well it has its share of bugs that require at least 6 months after the release of the game and it has usually poor storylines. The immersion on the other hand is wonderful and the moddability gives huge amounts of possibilities and roleplaying opportunities - I'm playing right now Fallout New Vegas as an old disgrutled ranger veteran with a passion for energy weapons and good survivability skills. Also the first time I play in Hardcore mode.

Oh.. I Might want to hold off for next game..
Usually I buy them straight off the bat..
So I don't play the add-ons much! (usually I play it only "once")
Same with Fallout 4!
I finish the main quest and explored "everything" for about 170 hours.
But when Far Harbour DLC came... well I didn't even finish it!

And yes I want ME Andromeda.
And Dishonored 2! :P (in fact I pre-ordered that one)

I ended up watching all the cutscenes and thinking "Huh...that's where The Incredibles 2 got to"

I have a fairly high end laptop, but I know it's just not going to be able to handle the graphics required for these new games. The engineering staff in my corporation really want 3 monitors on their desk with the Radeon Eyefinity high end graphics cards. The CFO says there is no way to justify that kind of eye candy.

At work we have a test iOS device which, I think, might be iOS 8 something (or is that iOS9.0?)
It has a nagging update popping up every few hours about updating to iOS 9.3.2
It's a test device, so naturally I press... "Later" (there is NO Cancel option).
As soon as I press "Later" it starts the installation!!!
(thankfully the update require acceptance, which I can then cancel...)

It includes also some security fixes, so you better install it.
Press F1 for help or google it.

If it makes you feel any better iOS 9.3.3 was released yesterday!
I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.

I only use this.. iOS thing for work!
The more I use it the more I wonder why people cling to iOS when they could use Windows Phones instead!
Or even Android, if it comes to that!

I tried Windows Phone before iOS, that's what convinced me
iOS has become a bit stagnant lately though, so I have been considering a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge - nice phones, but my iOS stuff all works nicely with my Mac so I'm holding out to see what iPhone 7 brings (although it's not looking promising right now)..
The good thing about Apple is that your devices are supported for a long time. My Windows Phone got one upgrade (from 7 to 7.5) then it was abandoned by Microsoft. Same with my previous Android phone. They really need to improve that situation.

I was wondering as well...
I just found a quick weather average table[^] per month... indeed that "warm" spell is quite unseasonable...
Be happy while it last!
And another one[^]!

That is bullshite, no way in the world the Summer temperature on average tops out at 29.8° Celsius. If it ain't getting near 40° some days then I ain't here typing. We top 40° here in the Sydney area, specially out west where I am.

Mmm.... You are right indeed...

Average temps are generally the average of the daily high and nightly low values. Doing that against the numbers here (20-40C)[^] gives averages of about 30C for the summer.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

10c here in Norway, give us our summer back!

I was up your way in January, found out what a real snow suit is. Also managed to park a snowmobile in a snow drift during a blizzard that took 2.5 hours to extract. Fun times.

I think you've left it over here in the UK - it's 26°C in the shade at the moment, and predicted to get hotter later.
If you could come and take it back before my brain melts, that would be good.
