• The 1.2 Patch Can Make Dragons Fly Backwards.

  by Jay November 30, 2011
  There's no way I'm patching this game. For a while, at least. Right now it's running very well on my PC, and the glitches that I do get are tolerable. But this is just ridiculous:

• Skyrim For Sale In Some Countries.

  by Jay November 8, 2011
  It turns out that releasing a game on a Friday is a bit confusing for some retailers!   Traditionally media is released on a Tuesday (here in the States, at least).  I'm not precisely sure why Tuesday - if anyone knows please enlighten us!  There are also reports of Skyrim showing up on eBay, for t...

• Skyrim Stickers At Bestbuy

  by Jay November 3, 2011
  I was in Bestbuy today through no fault of my own, and I came across a table with some Skyrim stickers on it.  They were free and I grabbed a couple of them.  The quality of the print is pretty good, and it's on semi-gloss paper.  It's about 3x1.5 inches. I think I'm going to put one on my computer...

• Why You Should Watch The Leaked Intro *(Spoiler-Free Discussion)*

  by Jay October 31, 2011
  In the following paragraphs I'm not arguing that the leaked 23 min Skyrim opening sequence is a good thing - no one should have released it without Bethesda/ Zenimax's permission.  For me this isn't a legal issue - it's about respect.  Goodness knows the marketing department has worked some real mag...

• Skyrim Google Alerts! (For those with a Google account)

  by Jay October 28, 2011
  Hey guys!  I've noticed a slight lag between crazy new Skyrim details and our (as a community) ability to create blogs about such details.  I think you'll agree that we must stay on top of this in order to be relevant!  Paul can only do so much as one man, so we must run with his torch.  I've been u...

  There's a new Developer's Diary up on The Elder Scrolls Official Site.  Ray Lederer & Adam Adamowicz There's an audio link that you can play, and I suggest that while that's playing, scroll down to the bottom of the page and watch the Flickr slideshow.

• Dwemer Robots in Skyrim

  by Jay October 27, 2011
  I noticed some weird statues in one of the videos.  They looked like robots!  So, I did a little research into Dwemer contraptions and it turns out that's exactly what they are.  They're sentient, mechanical guardians known as Animunculi (aka, Centurion Spheres). Have I mentioned I love robots?  Esp...

  by Jay October 27, 2011
  I'm a digital artist and I tend to find these kinds of things interesting, maybe you will, too: I was watching this video on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=fwfRZTSiFGE At 3:45 (the chicken-resurrection scene) if you look at the shadow on the bottom of the pillar,...
