In this first part of a walkthrough for the game Aura: Fate of the Ages, we meet the unlikely named Umang as he is sent to the valley of Ademik (or possibly Ademika; no one seems quite sure) to continue his lessons from the slightly less unlikely named Grifit. Grifit turns out to be missing, [...]

After being away for about six months I have returned to Fallen London. Actually, I can’t say I’m in Fallen London. I’ve taken my Zee Clipper across the Underzee and have made my way to the city of Polythreme, the home of the Clay Men. I’ve been wandering the streets here while trying to make [...]

I had finished Skyrim for the third time and was trying to figure out what to do next. I thought about loading up a bunch of mods and starting a fourth playthrough, maybe taking the Nords side in the Civil War this time, then I thought maybe I would play through Morrowind and Oblivion again [...]

So I finished Mass Effect 3 last week and I immediately went back to playing Skyrim again. I think it is telling that I am done with Mass Effect after what Raptr tells me is around 35 hours (for now anyway) while I am still engrossed by Skyrim even though I am closing in on [...]

So I’ve been spending a lot of time in Skyrim lately. I’m the Harbinger for the Companions, the Listener for the Dark Brotherhood and a Nightingale and the Master Thief of the Thieves Guild. I’m also apparently the Dragonborn, whatever that means. I guess I should get around to completing the main plot at some [...]

After finishing the Companions quests and being named Harbinger I decided to go back to the main quest line for a while. By this point I had collected enough money and loot that I was able to buy Breezehome, the house in Whiterun. It is convinently located beside Warmaidens, the forge near the entrance to [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
