Out of the Blue

We're having a fun time with our visit from our nieces. This morning with had some of Uncle Blue's famous pancakes and then took to doggies on a walk around the neighborhood. For some reason the girls are obsessed with getting a Scrabble game going this afternoon, the older one (who is all of nine) being so bold as to talk smack about winning, which is awfully cute.

Started a 2nd play, as a no nonsense dark elf Archer/Conjuration/Poisoner, doing the Dark Brotherhood quests. Two guys were giving a female dark elf a hard time when I was visiting a city, waited for them to turn their backs and 1 shotted them and ran away. Twas fun I hvae no idea what I am doing, just ploddin along. I am a Redguard warrior/destruction player. Pluggin light armour and speech. Having a good time. I started the Companions missions and also the Stormcloak missions - but while inspecting the dead girl murders, the game says I haven't triggered a conversation and I can't seem to "inspect the murder scene" so that story line is F'd. (might just be the side missions, as it looks like I can still do the Wraith mission)

Using a steering wheel on a Burnout game is like using the Space Shuttle controls to fly a kite.

The most powerful spawns are very low probability but potentially you can meet them anywhere! I can fully attest that it removes the lack of fear you normally have while wondering and my new character has had to run for his life on a few occasions! (By the way I realise this is the worst kind of addiction support but it's really worth trying!!!) Sadly I am currently playing on console. Borrowed the game. Going to get it on PC when they do a GoTY. I was corrected a dinner today with some friends. Apparently I played from midnight to noon....whoops....

Heh, mine is nine too, and loves to play Scabble, but knows better than to talk smack, as she figured out a long time ago that I play down to her level.

You sound like a fun uncle Blue.




Stay a while, and listen.
