	The sound I always hear over and over again in movies is a
'scream' that I first remember hearing in fantasy general.  Maybe its
a public domain scream or something, but everyone and their best
friend uses it, especially in movies.  Very immersion breaking.

	What I remember about daggerfall is being pretty much unable
to run it on my poor excuse for a pc at the time. Was sad. =<  W/a
lot of tweaking, I was eventually able to run it passingly well, saw a
bit of the game, but too many crashes at too many key points made me
shelve it. my tweaks were not enough.  Never finished it.

	When arena came out, I was *barely* able to run that come to
think of it, though at least I was able to play arena well enough to
make the game play-worthy.  Morrowind ran fine for the most part, but
had a lot of trouble in places like vivec.  

	Wasn't until oblivion/fallout 3 that I've had a pc that could
run their games well concurrent w/the release of said games.

	Hoping they'll take some of the lessons they learned in
fallout 3 and apply them to the next TES title (better crafted quests,
better humour, more gore, could do w/out the low lvl cap and the
windows live stuff though).
