Space Oddity

Yikes ... if this is what space looks like then I'm cancelling my application for the astronaut program!

I liked the concept but the world itself is the ugliest I've ever seen.  Sure, it's possible someone out there has made an uglier one, but I'm guessing it won't be on sale for $25 (sorry, $22 on special).  Anyway, I was hoping EA had some better screenshots up their sleeves, but alas no, there's just no making that place look good.  And there aren't even any aliens.

To be honest, I don't think my Sims will ever call Lunatic Lunar Lakes home. 

My Cousin's Out Fighting Dragons & What Do I Get?

Aren't those Skyrim guards a laugh and a half?  I once had one standing next to me and complaining about getting stuck with guard duty ... while I was fighting off a dragon attacking Whiterun.  Excuse me ... maybe that's because you don't seem to know what a dragon looks like!  

I haven't killed any dragons for a few days and actually returned to Sims on the weekend.  Sims 2, that is, which I haven't played in over 18 months.  So much for spending a couple of hours tinkering and getting back to Skyrim ...   

Fun in Skyrim

One of the fun things to do in Skyrim is to use dragon shouts or magic to do away with your enemies in a variety of very impressive ways.  And who doesn't enjoy taking out a few trolls? 

A big thank you to AE, BluebellFlora and the rest for a job well done!

(if you are living under a rock and missed it all ... read about it at Grumpy Toast)

Now ... please let the drama-mongering end!

BTW the video is not mine.  For a start, my character's magic skills are nowhere near that advanced ... she's more of a whack 'em with a big sword kinda gal.
