Yea its 60... and for some reason I decided 90 - 60 = 20... lol
So yea, if you want to go that route i'll help you save $30

Crowebird, do you have a Paypal account?  If so that's probably the cheapest way I could pay you; it's cheap for me to transfer funds to the US (as opposed to $20 fee through my bank), not sure if there are fees on your end for receiving payment though.  Which I would cover of course.

Edit: Found this on the Paypal site:

This fee can be paid by either the sender or the recipient. The sender decides who pays.

So I would be able to cover any fees from my end, which looks to be 1% + 2.5% conversion fee.

Yea, what ever ends up cheapest for you...

I'll pm you from here.

Just ranting here:

So I bought Sword of the Stars II last week to tide me over until Skyrim.  That turned out to be a buggy almost unplayable mess.

So then I bought LA Noire from Green Man Gaming a few days ago because the release date was 8th November, thought it'd be a good game to keep me going for a few more days.  Half an hour left on the release timer earlier today and it changed to 3 days.  It's coming out at the same time as Skyrim now apparently, though the storefront still says the 8th. 

At least I have Skyrim prepurchased now thanks to crowebird's help.

(I just realized I payed him $60 instead of $59.99!  I demand a refund of my missing cent!  Outrageous! )

[crowebird]

LA Noire shows Nov. 8th for me, but yea that does suck.

As for the penny, I charge a hefty commission fee, lol

[crowebird]

Update btw, steam pre-load of skyrim is live! (No idea if this is old news yet )

[Khalan]

Ah, thanks crowebird, downloading now.

Edit:
Read something interesting about the Radiant Stories in an older Xbox magazine from the library.  Whether it's hyperbole or not remains to be seen.

The example they gave was that you could drop a weapon on the ground, to clear your inventory for example.  A random NPC, with a good disposition towards you, could pick up the weapon and return it to you, asking if you'd dropped it.  A neutral would probably ignore it.  An NPC with a negative disposition could grab the weapon and run.  You could chase them down and kill them to recover the weapon.  Thanks to Radiant Stories, that NPC's relatives could then be out to get you on a quest for revenge.

That was one example of the kinds of random quests and events that could occur.  Hopefully it works well.

I watched an interview with the game director of BS, and from what I could understand of it, was that the Radiant Story is that it is indeed in the game, however I don't believe that Todd gave any specifics about what it would be doing or was capable of.

The other thing I found interesting and maybe everybody already knows this from the BS video that is already out there, but that when doing a quest, the AI of the quest giver would sort of scan around the area to see what areas, dungeons, or caves you had not yet been in, and then the game would place the item that needed retrieving into that cave, dungeon or area and give you the quest to go and retrieve it.

I think that's a very interesting idea on how to work random quests for sure.

Found a little blurb on the web more about the Radiant story, and proceduraly generated quests to infinity and beyond:

It's dated Nov 9, so I assume it must be in the game for certain.

I posted a guide to using a Ramdisk with Skyrim, which should help with loading times and stuttering as long as you have enough RAM:
