The JTAG-out: Make your JTAG stop chewing on the christmas tree.

I thought it was odd that Oblivion goty was so large installed on my Xbox 360 HDD

The goty version of Morrowind was small for the massive amount of content.

Most of the Elder Scrolls games aren't that large if you look at the data size........you'd just think they would be large because other sandbox games usually are.

Higher resolution textures, higher polygon count on the models and environment, that's why I assumed it would be bigger.

Extremely efficient reuse of textures and such, most likely. That shiny armor on your character's shoulders? If you zoom in far enough, you'll realize it's just scaled down mountains.

I assume everyone is voiced too.

I realise that.
But Oblivion seems so short compared to Morrowind.
It's like the difference between a Mini and a stretch limo imo.

I just hope Skyrim isn't a game that I'll be bored with after 1 week

From everything I've seen, it's shaping up to be much improved from Oblivion. You won't hear anything from me on the differences in length . The expansions (namely Shivering Isles) do add quite a bit of content.

Got my 1TB HDD for the 'Xbox'.

The CCC is quite useful. There is an option for no scaling .

Hitachi?

Also:

Spoiler warning:

jtag 'Xbox'?

[Slacker Magician]

The no scaling option is the best option ever.

Jtag.

Iomega. No idea what make the hard drive inside the enclosure is.

It'd better be.
Don't get me wrong, I don't absolutely hate Oblivion.....but it was just easy and straight forward to me really.
Maybe I should've played it rotten drunk or something

I really don't care if people didn't like Morrowind because of "argh, keep dying 'cos my character is low level".
They can play other stuff where you can complete the main quest in a day or 2

Jtag.

You allow your bank account to hit 0 ?

Usually, no. I've had a few extreme expenditures the last couple of months that weren't part of my normal bill payments, and it took a chunk out of my account.
My "day-to-day" account (in a no fee chequing account, where my paycheques go) usually gets down to $0 right before payday, but that's not part of my bills money.
I usually have about an extra month's worth in my bills account. But I had to buy new tires for my car the other week ($550) and pay for two months of daycare while we wait for subsidy to kick in ($135 each month). Also back in August I had all of the fluids flushed in my car, which was another $550. So my "have a little bit ahead" program kind of took a hit. Also, I missed two weeks of work after my surgery, so I had about $900-$1000 less income than normal in September.

I'll be getting reimbursed for my half of the daycare costs once subsidy kicks in, so that'll be an additional $270 this month on top of my regular paycheques. And I work 8 hours on Remembrance Day next week, so that's an extra $190 this month just for the one day. Plus another $142 for it just being a stat holiday, whether I work it or not. So probably by December I'll be back up close to normal. There aren't any more big name releases that I'm going to pick up this year, so any games I buy will be in the more reasonable $15-$25 range. And I think it's time that I cleared out my house a little bit and sold off some of my games/rarer DVDs/random other stuff that I don't use and is just sitting there.

At least things weren't level scaled in Morrowind .

Ah, okay.
