The Silver Hand I’m abandoning my prose walkthrough for the moment because of time constraints. These will be quick rundowns for a while. I’ll come back and do a proper story walkthorugh at some point. So just a quick summary here. After becoming a full member of the Companions you can do additional quests for [...]

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 [...]

So Skyrim, the fifth game in the Elder Scrolls series, is coming out next week. I’m looking forward to it, mainly because Morrowind, the third game in the series, is one of my favorite games of all time, as are Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, both also done by Bethesda. You may notice that [...]

Over the past week or so Steam has been running a sale on Halloween/horror themed games. One game, oddly, was Train Simulator 2012 with its Trains vs. Zombies DLC. (No, really.) I had seen Train Simulator before but had mostly been aware of it as that game that had about 150 pieces of DLC on [...]

Treece heads out into the jungle in search of the dangerous beast he must slay in order to prove his worth to the Keeper of the Nest, even though he can’t remember what she is called. Along the way he explains why he is using a useless weapon, slaughters a large number of jungle critters [...]

So it’s been awhile since I posted anything; I have the real world to blame. In my non-gaming life I’m a senior developer for an international airline and am currently working with a database used for revenue decision support. We completed a major upgrade to the system recently and installed it into production about a [...]

So I’m still making my way through the various bits of the Half-Life 2 saga and, somewhere in the middle of Episode 1, it suddenly struck that despite having what seemed at first glance to be a huge, complex world, the game really consisted of a single long corridor with lots of bends in it for things [...]

Treece finally makes it to orbit, only to find that everyone there is shooting at him as well. After blowing up some raiders, he escorts a freighter to the middle of nowhere, finds that the Empire has a very low threshold for success, intercepts a few smugglers and finds that even cheating won’t let him [...]
