if i clear a couple of rooms, i save on my 2nd file... i only ever replace the original if i am satisfied with the progress, which is 99% of the time... there was a couple times where i went back an hour or less... but that's where the autosave comes in handy, when dealing with the politics of skyrim... battle saves are usually justified, but sometimes you might say the wrong thing and didn't mean for it to break down like that... and you feel ecstatic that it saved before you entered the room...

i am actually still using the autosave because it's not too much of a nuisance to occasionally make a save for me when not thinking about it... i can always reload one of those if i need to... my main change with it was delaying the autosave when stationary, or navigating the menus... default is 15 minutes, so i changed that to an hour... i love a good autosave when entering a new section of a cave or ruin...

i've had a few freezes on the civil war quest, but things are back to normal now for me... you should look into sending your game save to bethesda so they can try to figure it out... they might not get to it, but it might also help their next update... after the last one, my game has run quite smooth up until a couple nights ago when it locked up fighting for the stormcloaks... but it's been fine ever since... i hear you on the PS3 troubles though, before the last update i had numerous slow downs... nothing that crashed the game, but a frame rate that pretty much made it unplayable...

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/121/1219876p1.html yea, nothing new to report in this latest edition of "i got beat by every gaming news site" article... however, it's just like assassin's creed where you have to find the hidden nugget of info... there's a history lesson video from colin moriarty (haha awesome) about the leaked images from last week... he is pretty much spot on with his assumptions, but also adds a few more nuggets of info about the revolutionary era and after watching his video, then re-watching the debut trailer, it's pretty impressive...

heading towards 47, just shut it... it's a lot slower the later you get, and i am not exactly looking to grind skills at the moment, i am trophy hunting... i just reached 46 about 15 minutes ago... i have collected 4 daedric artifacts since i last posted... but i have ran into a problem, most of the remaining artifact quests are in fact started in the two towns i have yet to visit... dawnstar and falkreath... and besides, once i reach 50, i am starting a new character... i have done a lot with this one, but i am so ready to create a couple of new characters, like a sneak-thief and a older than dirt blind mage... i want to save those additional levels past 50 for the eventual DLC... EDIT: also, i got a good challenge in my last location... i mean, i've had it easy playing this game, i haven't had to use a health potion in probably over a hundred hours... but in this cave which housed the dawnbreaker, the final room forced me to use them... i've used the "fast heal" spell here and there when needed (which was also quite rare), but i literally felt like a low leveled cadman from early in my journey... i was losing health fast in that battle... a worthy adversary as one would put it... it makes me proud that i've lugged around about a dozen different potions for many many many hours, hoping for a day like today when it ended up saving my life and turning the battle in my favor... EDIT2: nabbed my 5th artifact today just now... only 4 more to go, unless i really do have to get the skeleton key... it says it's optional, but the join thieves guild quest is in my queue, i just haven't touched it since i first arrived in riften...

shit, i forgot about this... ohh well, i am just now available, which would of been 15 minutes late anyways... maybe next week...

yea, i fast travel a lot now too... i usually fast-travel to the closest location, but that always depends on if the location is in the mountains somewhere... then i might have to re-fast travel to different location because the 1st one never had a path up the mountain... but i do love running around whiterun... i've been out there a lot hunting game for pelts and souls... i could easily find my away around that reach... and the rift as well... the rest are easy to get lost in for me...

that photo was taken near dragonbridge actually... but that would be the reach...

i forgot to post these earlier but i had a couple photos worth sharing... after moving mjoll to my windhelm pad, her buddy followed her... i had to take care of that... and by take care, you know what i mean... the other was a funny sight i saw on a road somewhere... ^ via imagic v2.1 ohh fuck this stupid ipod app... here's the other... ^ via imagic v2.1

ohh, thats not much of anything i guess... i am a little curious about a special edition though, could have some cool native american or patriotic swag with it... ^ via imagic v2.1

steel book??

huh?? i thought it wasn't until later in the afternoon... i didn't click the link, i figured it was just a link to the AC main website, and i am at work... i guess i was wrong... here's the trailer already... doesn't show too much, but sets the time period quite well...

^^too bad... i loved SR3... i finished the civil war questline, i am a proud officer of the stormcloak army, the army of freedom... basically all i have left to do on this file is find all the daedric artifacts, of which i have only found 5 or so... i started about 4 quests last night though, so once i find all the artifacts and finish the companion quests, i should finally be level 50, and perhaps i will find a couple more new shouts for the "learn 20 shouts" trophy... basically after i do all of that, all i will have left for trophies are the "pick 50 locks and pickpocket 50" one, and the thieves guild and dark brotherhood ones... i am getting a platinum for this game, it totally deserves one...

today is the debut trailer for those that need to know... it's late in the afternoon though, which is kind of strange...

i loved the landscape but hated trekking through it ... i don't know how many times i had to climb back down a mountain because i couldn't find the path that led to the location i was trying to get to up top... scaling down the cliff was no problem of course... i am currently in the process of moving everything i own from whiterun to windhelm, on trip 10 or 12 i think... the future high king offered me a place to stay, and i love the open space of the place compared to the cramped confines of the breezehome... plus, there's a huge room with mannequins and display cases for weapons... i could put some of my best gear on display, or the weapons and armor i had the most memories with... and i love the hidden room in the back that houses an alchemy lab and arcane enchanter ... EDIT: well that sucks... dragonbane is missing... i believe i put him in the center of the weapons rack upstairs... ehh, that weapon was always kinda glitchy with the display cases and plaques... go figure... ohh well, i never used it but i liked it's uniqueness..

this is a photo i took about a week ago of my backyard... i love winter...

what the fuck?? is that mod or something??

ahhh.... shit's been happening a lot lately... over the course of a year, i've heard of about 6 systems doing that, a few from here and a few of my friends... i pray mine hangs in there... was it one of the old phat PS3s?? that's the system bricking at the moment...

says you haven't logged into PSN in like 6 months... whats up with that??

got anything you're willing to part with?? PM me ...

my favorite drinkin' buddy!!

ah, not impressed at all... i am glad the arkham series came out instead of this... steampunk is kinda cool, but it doesn't fit in with batman... ^ via imagic v2.1

colonial america... a completely different architectural style... this new generation of III could spawn numerous states in the south too like alabama and mississippi... dare i say racial slang and slave ownership?? sacajawea?? how about the louisiana purchase, where we bought the midwest from the french with their debts and our coin, which led to the eventual great trail of tears... all with the templars at the forefront of the conflict of course... washington the great war general, and jefferson the free mason... where does III take it from there?!?!

haha, nice... plus, even though the invaders are taking their land, they are at peace at the moment...i can foresee some sticky situations in either the latter part of this game, or in future installments... we loved them until we wanted to expand an take their wilderness... i love the native american perspective to be honest... name a game that does the same?? exactly, RDR recently, but not much else...
