Once again Skyrim was my go to for fun today, or yesterday if I look at the clock. I should be sleeping now. O_o Needless to say I solved multiple quests, mostly for the College of Winterhold. I’m thinking of heading to Solsteim next time I launch the game. I swear this game keeps wrapping me in it’s tentacles…
Skyrim
Game on.
Since I’ve caught up on all my upgrades I’ve finally gotten back into some gaming. Especially of the Skyrim persuasion.
But I’ve also been playing some other games too. I already wrote about my Shadow Warrior adventures, and I’ve also been playing some of the Portal 2 fan games like Portal Stories: Mel, and Thinking With Time Machine which is an interesting concept of portals and a portable time machine.
Later today I’ll be bringing my laptop for an hour long lunch. Wonder what I’ll wreck. 😛
OverlordTomala and friends try Skyrim Mod: “Tamriel Online”

It’s a multiplayer mod, a very buggy one at that. But it seems to hold the most promise so far, that and lots of players running around in their undies…
Rick and Morty invade gaming universes
I like how Rick and Morty continue to invade gaming. I just found this video, and while I don’t really play Dota 2 I was really amused by it.

Seems to be official. Unlike the Rick and Morty Skyrim mods, although those did get a tip of the hat from Rick and Morty’s creator.
It’s the Steam sale and I’m still stuck in Skyrim.
As I said in an earlier post I’ve had to start my Skyrim adventure from scratch. It didn’t take me very long to get back to where I was at, in fact I’m way above what my previous level was. I thought it would be fun to share some more insight on my adventures.
With great regret I had to remove the Nigel mod. It made my game extremely unstable which in retrospect is kinda funny. Leave it to Nigel heads to mess everything up. It’s the next best thing to trollfaces. :v Still, I kinda miss them. Everywhere I went on an adventure I would see them.
Speaking of trollfaces.
I installed a mod that adds the legendary trollface as a moon, including other rage comic faces. They change with each moon phase. So far it’s been rather enjoyable, and much safer than the Nigels. :v
I didn’t really change much on my character. Other than I found a cloak that lets me keep my tail.
This way I can continue to look ridiculous. I’ve mainly been trying to stealth as much as possible in this game. Although in some particular cases (like in the pic above) my inner pyro emerged and set ablaze anyone unlucky enough to cross my path… or something. Must have been those devil horns.
Skyrim Open Thread
I hated doing it but I had to start my Skyrim adventure back from the start yesterday. I learned that if you kept adding and removing mods further and further into your game it can potentially become unstable. It got annoying having to restart the game after frequent crashes. I even tried running a program called LOOT but it couldn’t fix my saves. If anything it made the game crash even more. But it feels good to start fresh anyway, and since I’ve restarted I’ve only had a couple weird instances I’ve been able to get around. Although there were a couple saves of my current game that refused to start. I had to backtrack a little to get the game to work again which I thought was weird.
At least I have a better understanding of how the game works.
Have some more Skyrim with your Skyrim
Now for a video:
Weekend Open Thread
For the first time in a looong time I actually had Saturday and Sunday off. Since it’s memorial day weekend the street fair has been going on so I’ve actually managed to catch it this year. I’ve enjoyed some nice fish tacos and yesterday I bought a nice warm hooded poncho.
I’ve still been playing an absurd amount of Skyrim. At home, at lunch etc. Most of my co-workers play it too, but for console apparently. I’ve been having fun describing my adventures with mods which has caused them to drool a considerable amount. Bragging that you killed a dragon by flying after it and breathing fire is a good way to make jaws drop. The modding has completely sucked me in, and I’ve been having trouble getting out of it. I think tomorrow I should take a break from it and play something else… if the temptation doesn’t overwhelm me. 😛
My crazy Skyrim adventures thus far
For my 3 day weekend I’ve plunged myself into the lands of Skyrim. I’ve been going on some bizarre adventures, downloading mods to enhance the experience, and of course doing some light hearted console commands to make things more fun. Some of my fellow dragonborn buddies have been watching me stream my experience. We’re all in agreement, I have one hell of a female khajiit character.
Yes, I am literally the dragonborn… cyborg/human/cat/dragon? The wings are a mod I found on the nexus (it’s also on Steam) that lets you float around with functioning animated wings. You can make a potion at any cooking pot with various ingredients. With another additional mod you can also use a flying spell. Which is funny since I recently learned how to breathe fire and ice.
It consumes a lot of stamina when I use it though. So I had to hack a bit to sustain my long fun flights. Only a tad though.
Of course, even before I found the wings I still had fun traveling on foot. The scenery is beautiful, the quests have been fun (even though so far I’ve been finding them and solving them by accident) and the fighting is always fun. I’ve been doing a combination of regular fighting and stealth.
Stealth has been funny for me, especially when they’re sitting in a chair.
I’ve also learned what it’s like to have a companion, and how annoying it is. I almost always bring Lydia along for my own amusement. She’s like my own personal Kenny from South Park. She’ll die multiple times and then eventually get better. I felt a bit generous though and decided to give her some armor to protect her and a better sword. I found these playermodels at this site. I plan on downloading more, and maybe through some hax magic I might add them to other NPC’s for shits and giggles.
Lots of the mods I installed are ones that I stumble upon while exploring. There are a ton I haven’t found yet, but this one was totally worth finding today.
Yes, I can now craft joints and a dragon bong… Legally! They also have a nice collection of plants… and a guy that stands outside in them enjoying the scenery.
All in all I’ve really been having a blast in this game. I’ve even been reading the books… while streaming my gameplay, if only to prove that at least one person in the United States has some reading comprehension. :v
