Adventures in horrible Skyrim mods.

I didn’t download this. At the moment, I don’t even have Skyrim installed*. But this is the funniest thing I saw today. Although I believe the OP when he named this video “The Stupidest Mod Ever Created And I Downloaded It.” Forty-six seconds is about how long I could go before this feature became infuriatingly annoying.

Beating Skyrim With Your Torch.

This ‘play the game with a torch’ video is entertaining because I’ve played enough Skyrim to know just how badly the guy’s warped the game to do it.

The short version is: quite a lot. This is a stripped-down speed run; dude skipped pretty much everything and did a few things that I’ve never even considered, just to shave off some time. And, of course, he went around beating enemies up with a torch. It’s hysterical to watch, if you’re into that sort of thing, but I imagine it was probably as tedious as hell to actually do.

Microsoft to get rights to Cyberpunk 2077, and… Elder Scrolls 6?

Hell-o:

Microsoft has been heavily criticized for not securing the marketing rights to as many high-profile 3rd party titles as Sony has in recent years, but that may be changing if new rumors are to be believed. According to a report from Rectify Gaming (whose website is currently down but you can view a cached version of the report here), Microsoft will have the marketing rights to quite a few highly anticipated games at E3.

*Both Skyrim and Fallout.  Indeed, I came across this while checking up on the Fallout 4 Cascadia and Capitol Wasteland projects. I’m looking forward to both, particularly the former.

Why ISN’T there a Skyrim flick?

Have we had this conversation before?  — Anyway, below is a fan-made trailer for Skyrim*.  I understand that Chris Hemsworth is off being Thor right now, but: why isn’t somebody making this movie?

And yes, I know that video game movies generally suck.  However, there is a perfectly good story-line in Skyrim: “Dragonborn has the power of dragons, must kill Most Evil Dragon Of All to save world.”  You can get an entire series out of that.  Sure, it’d crash and burn — just like all the other video game movies that they keep insisting on making.  So I’m not sure why nobody in Hollywood wants to try with this franchise.
