Skyrim Walkthrough Incoming!

I've decided I'd like to play some more Skyrim, so I've made a plan. Previously I played as a Mage and an Archer, so this time it will be as a Warrior. The plan is to strictly stick to the main quests - that is, the Dragonborn and the Rebellion quest lines - and play as an Orc with a bit of an attitude. I'll be recording the first episode tomorrow, then chopping it into ~30 minute segments and uploading to YouTube. I will probably release a few episodes per week.

I've done gameplay vids before, but usually without a voice over. This time I'm going to try different things. I've released 3 videos already. In the first two I was talking while playing, but I find that can be difficult as I'm usually focused on the gaming itself and much like chewing bubblegum while walking, I can't seem to do two things at the same time.

In the 3rd video I added an intro that I'm quite happy with. I learned a lot about my editing software to do that which is great! I also added my voice-over post-gameplay. It's a bit weird doing that, though... I guess I'm just a newbie at all this. I'll get better. I promise.

I'll also make a post about the mods I'm using just to get it out there for the curious types. I've previously made a list of Skyrim mods I like, and I'm still using plenty of those, however some are no longer available. I'm not using many new ones, and I don't have the patience to browse Steam's Workshop for good ones. I still prefer using Nexus for that (sort by endorsements makes it so easy).

Here's the first 3 episodes (you can also subscribe to my YouTube channel and they are all being added to a playlist):

Episode 1: Skyrim Intro (with a hilarious glitch)



Episode 2: I died



Episode 3: Bleak Falls Barrow

Air Buccaneers!

A game that most people probably haven't heard about is now entering a public beta. Air Buccaneers is... well... basically what it sounds like. It's an online game where you and others fly zeppelins of sorts around and blast eachother out of the sky - or get close and board the other ship for some swash buckling mayhem.

Get it here: http://www.ludocraft.com/games/airbuccaneers/download/


In other news, I'm making progress in Dishonored and will write up a review of sorts on it. I've also got a few hours of footage I think I'd like to edit and make a bit of a montage out of it, although my video editing skills aren't all that great... We'll see how it goes.

Dishonored

Dishonored was released today. Not being a member of any press, that means I only just picked it up. I'm thinking of writing a review or even making a video review, but in the meantime, here's my first impression.

It's really fun.

Be back with more later.
