And so it’s over. The Steam sale has come and gone again. The “coupons” they were giving out this time turned out to be pretty much useless. I guess it worked as far as advertising their coupon platform went, but there was never anything there that interested me. Still, I managed to pick up enough [...]

As regular as the changing of the seasons the Steam winter sale has started.

After leaving the Jarl’s palace I descended the steps to a large plaza dominated by a dead tree. Nearby, a half-crazed man stood on a bench while shouting praises to Talos. The locals seemed to be ignoring him so I did as well and climbed the stairs towards the Companions longhouse, which I soon learned [...]

I had recovered the stolen dragon claw artifact for the store owner in Riverwood, had cleared out the bandit from the mine south of town and and even gotten into a fight with a couple of necromancers who were experimenting outside of town. But now it appeared that I had exhausted the possibilities of this [...]

Skyrim, the latest game in the Elder Scrolls series, came out last Friday and I’ve spent most of the last few days playing it (to the detriment of my NaNoWriMo output). I feel like I’ve barely put a dent in the game world but already I can tell this game is going to solidly in [...]
