It’s been nearly two weeks since I last played Skyrim, but while I was playing I was completely absorbed in the game, as I’d known I would be. 146 hours I put into that game, and I feel fairly certain that I’ll be going back to it in maybe a year or so, once some […]

So I’m still playing the crap out of Skyrim. Last night I got to try out the new high resolution texture pack, which looks just amazing, and the new mod management system, which doesn’t seem to integrate very well with mods that may have been installed before its implementation – I got about three crash-to-desktop […]

Even if you haven’t tried Skyrim, you probably don’t need me to tell you how huge the Elder Scrolls games are. They eat your free time like the Cookie Monster with a box of Chips Ahoy. In January, Bethesda is releasing the Skyrim Creation Kit, and the mods that have as yet been missing will […]

          I’ve been playing Skyrim a lot, and I’m loving the game. My character is level 39 at present, and my sneak skill is already at 99 – I hope to max it out the next time I play and then work harder at maxxing out my archery, enchantment, and alchemy. But my favorite part […]
