During Listmases past, I’m pretty sure I’ve touched on the games that were either the most Christmas-y of had the best winter levels. There’s absolutely Something to be said for overall atmosphere and feel, but those don’t necessarily make for a place that’d be fun to visit. So, what would be a fun place to…

Finding the Fun Again in Skyrim
Ever since Skyrim released back in 2011 and the craze so many of us fell into during the following year or so, I’ve found myself trying to go back every so often to try and recap- ture some of that initial magic. This has, at least for me, proven largely impossible. When the sense of…
Skyrim Fans Have Downloaded Over 2 Billion Mods (And Beyond)
One of the greatest strengths of PC gaming is its modding community. Once practically any game is released, modders get right to work making everything from major bug fixes to silly add-ons.

For me, however, Skyrim has become analogous to…well, I want to say “climbing Mount Everest.” That’s overdramatic, but that’s…
Exploring a More Beautiful Skyrim
Since it looks like the Elder Scrolls VI still won’t be out anytime soon, I’ve found myself drifting back to previous entries in the series in order to get my Elder Scrolls fix. I started with Morrowind early last year, and later tried (and failed) to get back into Oblivion. Now that I have an…
Resonance: Secunda [Revisited]
Despite all the games that I simply must finish (ahem *Metroid Dread* ahem), I’ve found myself back in the world of Skyrim. It’s a game that just calls, usually in moments of gaming stress (ahem *Metroid Dread* ahem), as something of a remedy. Indeed, it is, and it’s excellent soundtrack goes a long way in…
Listmas 2021: Let’s Chill
If there’s one thing that makes a holiday break, or any break from the grind, truly special, it’s having time to simply relax. Add to that spending time with friends and loved ones, and well, you’ve got yourself a nice vacation! Making for the trifecta is relaxing, being with family, and playing video games, and…
