Observations on Skyrim
I have been enjoying Skyrim very much. My character is level 14 and is slowly progressing through the story missions and other quests. He has joined the Companions and completed their ritual (no spoilers, but if you’ve gone through it, you know what I mean), bought a house in Whiterun, and has started wide exploration…

Skyrim and its hardware requirements
I bought The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim because it is on sale on Steam. I have wanted it since it came out and skipped a couple of previous Steam sales, but then regretted skipping them when it remained it its confiscatory retail price for months on end. I wasn’t too upset, as I had plenty…

Bought Dungeon Siege III and Deus Ex: Human Revolution from Amazon
Yesterday, I bought download versions of Dungeon Siege III and Deus Ex: Human Revolution from Amazon. While neither of those games were on my must-play list, they were such a good price that I had to pick them up to see if I like them. I enjoyed the first two Dungeon Siege games a lot…

Finished Dragon Age 2
I recently finished Dragon Age 2 and generally enjoyed it. While I didn’t find the story as compelling nor as epic as the original Dragon Age Origins, it is still well written and fairly interesting and entertaining. All the criticisms you read about Dragon Age 2 complain that the environments are used over and over…

Still too many games!
While I still own too many games that I intend to play, I have been working on trying to get through some. After finishing Fallout New Vegas, I played and enjoyed Bioshock 2. I liked the original Bioshock, but there were many aspects of the game that were not explained very well. Bioshock 2 does…

LOTRO Forges of Isengard solo instance
This is a long video of a mission to clear Saruman’s minions in the Forges of Isengard. This is a solo instance that is not too difficult, but has some tough baddies and lots of loot, particularly reputation items and some legendary items. I nearly bit off more that I could chew at the start,…

This is a tour through Bree, starting at the west gate, then showing the Prancing Pony, the crafting hall, the town hall, jail, auction house, hunting lodge, and finally ending at the skirmish camp beyond the south gate.

LOTRO Lore Master Menagerie
Lore Masters in Middle Earth in Lord of the Rings Online can summon many companions from nature to help fight or even just as decoration. The gallery below shows most of my pets, though I can’t show one without serious re-traiting, so it is omitted. My favorites are the Snow Crest Eagle, because Eagles can…

Finished Fallout New Vegas
Despite my getting discouraged at Fallout New Vegas, I finished it. I didn’t like the lack of freedom in the outcome (hey, why can’t I be friends with the NCR at the end?), not did I like that it completely ended the game, and didn’t let me do the last DLC that I hadn’t done.…

Getting Sick of Fallout New Vegas DLC
I’ve mostly been enjoying Fallout New Vegas, although it is not as engaging as some of my all-time favorite games, like the original Fallout 3, Oblivion, and Dragon Age. I bought the game from Steam with all the available DLCs, and so far have played through 3 of the DLC missions and all of them…
