IGN Spot On Coverage

Eavesdropping over the boyfriend's shoulder as he was watching an IGN video on a discussion of Bethesda's treatment of Skryim in between my makeup blog stalking and I have to say they were spot on.  I agreed with a lot of their points that Bethesda handled the situation poorly with little to no explanation on the situation for months to PS3 owners given how much money the company made from that marketed demographic of console owners and frankly, it does make me wonder how they'll handle Fallout as well if this trend continues.  Funny timing of the video given I really was just whining about never going to see Skyrim DLC pop up on my PS3 anytime soon just this past weekend!

I digress, I'm all excited because the best time of the year is coming soon upon me.  Autumn!  It's when all the most amazing things of the year come around.  Pumpkin spiced lattes, Oktoberfest beers, fall colored yarns and knits, big movie releases, holiday sales, and new video games slowly trickling in before the holidays!  Basically a giant amount of awesome filtering in all leading up to winter then the crash until spring!  Which, in Florida, our winter is more like a Wisconsin autumn in terms of temperature drops but without the crisp autumn air and changing of the leaves.  I'll be honest, I miss real autumn and winter but I still have memories of waking up at 6 in the morning just to dethaw and shovel my car out from a night blizzard before work.  *shudders*  Banish the thought.

Still watching the boyfriend play Skyrim.  My favorite series of events from the last weekend.

Him:  "How do I get out of this dungeon?"
Me: *typing at my computer without looking up*  "I dunno, did you check online?"
Him:  "I don't want to cheat."
Me:  "Then why are you asking me?"
Him:  "Cuz that's not cheating."
Me:  "Okay, but I'm just going to look up online anyway for the answer."
Him:  "Kay.  That doesn't count as cheating."

It turned out he was stuck on that "Man Who Cried Wolf" quest.  Long story short, he forgot to pull the lever to lower the bridge out and wandered about circling around the area of the lever for a good half hour until I told him to stop moving and just look AROUND with his camera at the bridge to see the lever.  Some days he amuses me.
