Great new 720HD Skyrim video showing lots of new footage of places, especially cities and towns. Truly amazing work. Skyrim montage 720HD (6:20) Hellshade

I was sure I was going to get Battlefield 3 and then the more I thought about it, the more I realized that once Skyrim comes out, I'm probably not ever going to touch it again. 11.11.11 will come around soon enough and I don't think it'd be worth the $60 for just a three week filler. So despite the awesome new Frostbite 2 engine, I'm just going to piddle around with a few games I have. I hear BF3 is excellent though. Let me know your personal opinions please. Hellshade

Then it's settled. February 1st it is. Hellshade

Alaska weeks. Where each day and night is 6 months long. Hellshade

Two weeks. When it's Done. Never. They've scrapped everything and are leapfrogging directly to P5. I suggest finding another obsession until they are ready to announce something. Skyrim. Battlefield 3. Minecraft Ultra Graphics Edition. Something. It helps with the waiting process. Hellshade

Cranberry juice. The control tower told him a joke about an Englishmen and a bulldog just before take-off and it came out through his nose.

IGN brief video synopsis of what was revealed on Gametrailers.com interview. Can't wait to ressurect a chicken from the dead. seriously. http://pc.ign.com/articles/121/1210588p1.html Hellshade

Well if you really want to know which mods I'm using, here ya go. Anything unchecked on the left is not currently active. Anything with a green or black box next to it on the right is also not active. I use Oblivion Mod Manager to keep them all straight. I recommend www.tesnexus.com as a great source for mods.

So did I Thread the Needle like a pro or get jacked up like a noob on his first flight? The video knows all! Gratz to those who guessed it right! BH, you were right, I should have made that one. But if you watch the tail of my plane you can see that I second guessed myself on the approach a split second before trying to thread it. That cost me dearly. No time for second guessing up there. Hellshade

I thought she was watching the latest "Hellshades Hit or Miss?" video. The tension and excitement can be overwhelming for some. Hellshade

I have the Lost Spires mod and column5 is correct. It's really great. Hopefully mods of this calibur will make it into Skyrim as well. Hellshade

So did Hellshade get roasted alive in a fiery collision or did lady luck save him once again? See for yourself! Hit or Miss Vol 3 1080HD (0:23) Hit or Miss Vol 4 - Threading the needle! Strapped into a Hurricane Mk II and going head to head against a pair of HE 111's over the waters on the Coast of Dover, can I thread the needle between these two bombers? Can I shoot one down and fly through the debris in the nick of time? Is there any limit to how lucky any one man can be? What do YOU think on this edition of Hit or Miss?

Skyrim dragons vs WWI aircraft. Hmmmm. Now there's a mod I'd love to see. Hellshade

I'm sure the inhabitants of Skyrim will welcome you with open arms, Olham. Look, here come some of your new friends now.

It's rated M for Mature here in the States. Specifically mentions violence, partial nudity (I hope not from the male Orcs *shudders*) and some other non-kiddish stuff. Gore should be good.

11.11.11 sir. Novemeber 11th, 2011. Just about 3 weeks away. I cannot wait. Probably will need to setup an IV tube net to my PC. This is basically the fantasy game I have been waiting to play all of my life. Dragons done right in an open world where you create any kind of character you want in an unlimited adventure. I figure the 150 hand crafted dungeons that it ships with should keep me busy for a little while.

I run a heavily modded version of Oblivion and it is extremely fun. The mods add things that weren't native to the game like companions, blood spray, decapitations and on and on and on. I run a ridiclous 178 mods so as you can imagine... That said, even with all of the mods, Obivion simply won't hold a candle to Skyrim and with the release of Skyrim only about 3 weeks away, you're better off waiting for that. Skyrim will be incorporating a lot of those mods into the actual game from the start. Companions, archery changes, etc. Also, they will give you enough of the lore for the Elder Scrolls series so that you can easily find your way around and know what's going on. Playing the previous Elder Scroll series really won't be necessary to enjoying Skyrim but if you've got $20 to blow for the Oblivion GOTY Edition and 3 weeks with absolutely nothing to do, it will definately provide some entertainment. By the way, Skyrim will be completely open to mods just like Oblivion was. There are literally tens of thousands of Oblivion mods since it's release in 2006 and I can't see why Skyrim would have any less of a community developed around it. The advantage to the open world, totally single player gameplay is that with the mods, you can craft exactly the kind of world you wish to adventure in, just in case they missed anything you wanted when the game shipped. Here's some videos of Oblivion (heavily modded) in action. Stairway Battle 1080HD (1:04) Vilja NPC Companion 1080HD (2:44)

For those who are thinking about getting Wings of Prey, I found a video someone else did that really does a wonderful job of showing actual footage from the campaign and combining it with a great musical score. I'll post the link below. If you read reviews of the game, it only got an okay score - like around 78- 80, but most of the complaints have since been addressed by the patches so don't be putoff by those. I found it well worth the purchase price myself. Just make sure you save money for P4! And I'll post the answer to last nights Hit or Miss later tonight! Hellshade

Todd Howard says that the controls are very intuitive. The left mouse button controls your left hand, the right button your right hand. So if you have a shield in your left hand and a sword in your right, pressing the left mouse button will raise it up to block and then the right button will swing your sword. You can also bash creatures with your shield so that they are staggered for a few moments, allowing you time to drink a potion or get in some extra free attacks. You can dual wield almost any combination, including spells. So a shield in one hand and a fireball spell in the other. Or, put a fireball spell in each hand and combined them for an even more powerful effect. There are also over 280 Perks to choose from as you level up to help further make your character different and I read that the game is "balanced" up to level 50...as opposed to level 20 in Oblivion - it's predecessor - and has a max level of 70 for those with tremendous stamina to push it that hard. Dragon Age was pretty fun, but this is an entirely different type of game. And in Skyrim, you have the choice of playing in first or third person as you prefer.

For any other single player fantasy RPG fans out there, Skyrim - the next in line from the Elder Scrolls series from Bethesda - is probably already on your radar, but just in case it isn't here's a great new interview with Todd Howard that releases all kinds of new and exciting information about the game. It's a multi-part interview so you can either watch the segments on the other games or fast forward to the next part involving Skyrim. There is LOTS of in-game video time shown during the interview and all of it is pretty much jaw dropping, IMHO. Especially the parts where it shows two dragons fighting each other. You'll just have to watch the interview to find out why... http://www.gametrail...ers-tv/137?ch=1 From everything I've seen, according to this interview and the ones I've seen before, it looks like Bethesda is putting the same kind of attention to detail into every aspect of Skyrim that OBD is putting into P4. Just in case you haven't seen some of the latest screenshots of this totally open world, here's a few to show you what's in store.

I just had to re-install mine from Steam and when it did, it was version 1.041 I believe. Here is the yuplay webpage with the rest of the patch updates. Steam Might auto update to 1.045 however I think that is a "beta" patch so you may have to do it manually. http://yuplay.com/se...f+prey&tag=true Hope you guys are enjoying the Barmy game. Hellshade

I haven't had to purchase any updates or patches. It's up to 1.045 now and quite a bit of fun to fly. Indeed the screenshots are pretty amazing and better yet, it runs smooth on high settings even on a mid range rig. Rock solid 60FPS no matter what on my machine at 1920 x 1200 with all game settings maxed. I think it's arond $30 on steam but every few months it goes on sale for around $8. Quite a bargain.

This was a tough one! Check out the brief video to see what happened! Hit or Miss Vol 2 1080HD (0:07) That's a Miss! Two near misses in a row. Can my luck hold out much longer? Let's try a third one. Giving new meaning to "Hot on the Tail" of a BF 109, my Spitfire has made short work of this particular hun. But bracketed in by hostile Hun cannon fire from behind and his burning plane scant feet infront of me, is there any hope of escape? You decide! Hit or Miss for the flying funeral pyre?

The next screenie is from a WWI flight sim we all know. I was out on patrol with my squadron when we were engaged by the Hun Menace. An over zelous Nieuport wingman was intent on the kill of a Hun, but did he end up killing me instead? Hit or Miss with the Nieuport Wingman?

Check out the replay and see exactly what happened from three different angles! Hit or Miss Vol 1. 1080HD (0:56) Gratz to those who picked it right! 500 Barmy points, which you can send to OBD along with the full price for P4 and get a copy of the long awaited flight sim once it becomes available to the public.
