Yeah, i'm def. getting this. Dunno whether to get PC (Much worse performance, able to get mods and shizzle) Or Xbox 360 (Fine performance, no mods). I may just get 360 so I can play with good performance ASAP, then when my PC is upgraded in the future I can get some mods.

Less of a decision for me. Probably wont be getting a 360 any time soon, so I may as well stick with the PC version. By the time i can afford a 360 I will have upgraded my PC a lot.

uh hum, aparantly all the consoles are going to have downloadable things for games, like levels, so its likely mods might be made, but i aint spending loads of money for a 360 when i can just get the games on the pc, might get a 360 when the price drops

In the screenshots linked from that delayed page, there appears to be a minotaur, sans labyrinth. I'm not quite sure why it was supposed to be scary - while it was allegedly a flesh-eater, it's unclear whether it was ever offered an alternate form of sustenance, and even more unclear how it was able to eat flesh with man's hands and cow's teeth.

Should I have ever met it, I'm sure I would have been paralysed, not so much with fear, but with mirth. Pointing and laughing over the unusually comic set of circumstances which led to its existence.

I shall have to grow a beard in preparation. I rather enjoyed Morrowind.

I dont think whether something has an easy time eating my flesh or not would make me more or less scared of it. He would still be eating me. So I would still be scared.

Of course, as with a fair bit of greek legend it is probably bullshit legend with a teeny core of historical truth. So its quite possible that the guy the legend is based around was actually some psycho who liked wearing a bulls head as a hat while he ate people.

And lets not forget that we are talking about a bulls head here. Bulls being the things with fecking huge horns, capable of disemboweling you to aid its feasting on your tasty warm soft bits.

Apparently there's to be a movie, "Minotaur". Hopefully not a Troy-like affair with computer generated Minotaurs as far as the eye can see.

IIRC, there is a lady, who will undoubtedly be played by Jessica Alba, an emporers daughter or something?

thats the bint who gave him the string. I think she was King Minos' daughter, or some such.

EDIT:Makes you wonder what the guys reaction was.

bint: I heard you were going down into the deadly labyrinth, home of the huge maneating minotaur, the deadly beast who has killed all before him. So here's some string. Tata!

bloke:er...thanks....

She gave him a sword too, which was more than anyone else going in there had previously had. With it he made short work of the cow-faced mong.
