re: Skyrim - i'm trying to get into the thieves guild but i keep getting distracted by all this 'save the world' nonsense. Looks like the story is really starting to take shape and having fun.
My guy is a lizard man [Argonian?] named Yegore. He's quite adept at archery and douchebaggery.
Also checking out Halo: Anniversary. getting used to the overpowered weapons again, but that's kinda what makes it fun. Found the first few terminals - pretty interesting stuff and a handful of skulls so far. There's a skull I know of but haven't got to yet cuz it requires grenade jumping and I suck at that.
Good fun re-living the classic campaign with a fancy facelift. The beefed up sound effects make weapons like the assault rifle really feel like they have a kick to them.
