The Sound of Skyrim Video: Bethesda Shows & Tells, You Get To Bring The Smells…

11-11-11. is almost here and I know a lot of folks WON’T be going to the movies to see Immortals, that’s for sure. A good chunk of gamers will no doubt be camping out in their living rooms exploring the wide world of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, not coming out into the real daylight until their relatives send the cops around to check for a strange smell. Of course, after doors are kicked in across the world because of that odor, all the authorities and formerly grieving family members will discover is a few too many smelly, unwashed gamers with headphones on (that why they didn’t hear the banging and ringing), moldy bits of takeout food and perhaps a lingering aroma of a disc drive spinning eternally.

The New James Bond Film Is Called Skyfall. Get Over It (It’ll Be Fine Even If You Hate The Name).

Hmmmm.  I’ve been a Bond Fan since the Sean Connery days and have seen all the film numerous times.

Just finished Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Impact (not bad for a kid’s game) and am working on that review as well as one for Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Tenkaichi Z (also pretty good). GoldenEye: Reloaded should be completed and posted this weekend and the mystery package Sega sent along that I missed because I stepped out to the post office to pick up MORE games should be boomeranging back in a few hour from UPS. OK, who needs sleep? Not me, folks! Keep the games coming and I’m a happy reviewer. Yeah, the backlog is already hitting, but I’m a multi-tasker!  Which reminds me, I need to register for Toy Fair, as well. Too much going on, as usual…
