Since I upgraded my computer (which I’ve yet to post about) I’ve been checking out some new games. Lately I’ve been playing a game called The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. It’s a very open-ended RPG set in a medieval world. The emperor is assassinated in the beginning, and you are thrust into a quest to solve that mystery and save the world.

The cool part is that the whole thing feels like a real living and breathing world. You can go anywhere and talk to anyone. You design your character and decide what skills they will have. So far I’ve played about 7 hours, and most of it has just been wandering around exploring. You can pick up a book off a shelf to read and it will be 24 pages long. Doesn’t seem that long, but there are books everywhere, and this is a stinkin’ videogame! You can attack someone and the guards will come running if they hear.

So combine this game with the Dodgers losing every game, and my posting may suffer somewhat.
