The NA post is outdated. That was for this month.

And why the heck is EU getting all the best games?

I'm in the third year of my electrical engineering major and coding is something that has been the most challenging academic task I ever had to do. I'd rather figure out a humongous circuit and all the voltages and currents within that circuit than to code a simple program.

I have taken a C++ class and I passed it (B+) but with an incredible amount of effort.

I was recently trying to help a friend out who's taking the same C++ class I did before, but I'm still struggling on most of the programming assignments. For example, his last two assignments were to code the game of pig and to code  the game of hangman, but it was still an utter failure for me. I couldn't figure out even one of the functions for the hangman assignment. Is coding something for a particular type of person?

And wow, I had no clue it would be this good (Civ 5). I played the game for about 5 hours straight as soon as I got it. It's RIDICULOUSLY addictive. I haven't been this addicted to a game in a very long time.

Anyone else crazily addicted to this game? I have a timer right in front of me to see how many hours I play now.

I'm thinking about buying Trine 2. Anyone played it?x-2tha-z

Okay guys, this whole time I've been holding back on buying Skyrim because I've had a huge backlog of games.

I used to play Oblivion A LOT. I was extremely addicted to it and part of me doesn't want to get Skyrim because I don't want to get addicted to another elder scrolls game.

That's my big fear actually: That Skyrim might be better than Oblivion and if it is, then I can say goodbye to all my academic endeavours. 

Any input on this issue and some info on whether you think Skyrim is better than Oblivion?
