Tales of Warrog: Chapter 3

Tales of Warrog follows an Orc in Skyrim as he makes a name for himself, and not just in the snow of Windhelm.

Day 9
It's been a long day of traveling, and kill of dragons. It would be nice to get into town and relax--maybe sell some warhammers.

I arrived in Windhelm as everyone ran at me. I guess my good name has spread wide as Warrog the Dragon Slayer, or some variation thereof. Instead they ran past me to some vampires who got inside. I guess the glowing red eyes wasn't a dead giveaway (no pun intended).

People may write of me in the future, that his bloodlust cannot be quenched, but it does have its limits. Seeing a large melee ensue of townspeople gathered around three vampires, I made my way to the palace to alert the guards. They were nonplussed. By the time I made it back, guards from a different direction had come to the aid, and all were dead. Including three townspeople. One of which was Nils. I didn't know much about Nils, only that he was old, and he liked chopping wood, and I can respect that. I also respect not letting their valuables going to waste. Why some of these "good" people had lockpicking tools on their person, Tamriel may never know.

Tales of Warrog: Chapter 2

Tales of Warrog follows the adventures of my new character in Skyrim, an Orc. He does what he pleases, because he has no shame.

Day 6
Technically it's still Day 5, but the road back to Whiterun was boring, and uneventful. As I reached the gate, the guard tried to stop me, saying no one was allowed in. Again with these racist pricks. It took all of my self control to not smack a bitch, and explained to him that I had sighted a dragon. So unless he wanted to be roasted alive while we debated who gets entry, I suggested he allow me to enter.

Whiterun is about as big as Windhelm, though a bit warmer. I heard the blacksmith say something about not having enough time to make the weapons that were ordered, but I was on a mission of sorts, and I ran off. Down the road, a black guy stopped to talk about how he was sorry I had to listen to his wife and him argue. I had neither seen his wife, nor heard them argue, but when he said he was missing his sword, I offered to help... eventually. He thanked me and told me where the bandits were hiding. Man, everyone is getting their shit stolen lately... and not from me.

Tales of Warrog: Chapter 1

Tales of Warrog is a Journal type story of what a person would write if they were experiencing Skyrim. This game is run with numerous mods.

Day 1
I'm an Orc named Warrog. I woke up from a daze after being attacked and left for dead. My memory is a little fuzzy. I don't remember riding with this Khajit. I collected some armor, supplies, and a one-handed axe. As I tried to remember what sign I may have been born under. Two wolves attacked me. Thankfully, I was able to backtrack until they were dead. I collected their pelts and made my way to the nearest town, Windhelm. On the way, I found lots of plants and flowers, so I picked them. The guard did not seem to mind me picking flowers from around the Inn.

I made it into town and tried to buy a two handed weapon, as I at least know I'm good at that. The blacksmith is trying to rip me off. After making potions from the materials I collected, and selling a lot of the excess materials to the alchemist, I managed to have enough to buy a greatsword.

YouTube Review: Geek & Sundry Vlogs

From the creators who brought you Table Top, comes a new channel for vloggers, Geek & Sundry Vlogs looking to share their passions and interests with you. There is a wide variety of shows that may be of interest to you. Here I will list my favorites and what they have to offer (In in particular order)

Kiriosity with Kiri Callaghan
   Kiri is random, but interesting touching on a range of topics that typically ties into fantasy, sci-fi, and history (all of which I love).

Retro Gaming with Scott Tumilty
   I was a big gamer back in the day, but sadly I no longer have a rig that can handle the newer games. This show is one big nostalgia trip into games I grew up playing and loving.

YouTube Review: RollPlay & Misscliks

I have been playing Palladium Fantasy on and off for the last ten years or so. Over the time, I have changed both as a player and a game master (GM). Through TotalBiscuit on YouTube, I came across JP McDaniel's RollPlay series. In it, JP McDaniel, Ryan Moore, Geoff Robinson, and Geneviève Forget play Dungeons and Dragons 2nd Edition with their Dungeon Master, Neal Erickson. With only webcams and a screen showing the Roll20.net's map and dice rolling features, they are able to offer hours upon hours of entertainment full of gut-wrenching laughter, and all the feels the Internet has to offer.

3D: The Fad That Won't Die

3D technology in films has been around almost as long as film itself. The "gimmick" of 3D was most popular in the 1980s and 90s. Sadly, this gimmick never actually died. As technology has become more advanced, especially with digital cinema and computer generated animation, 3D has become more popular than ever. Many people are unwilling to accept change, most notably with the advent of digital film vs traditional film. While 3D movies can work in some ways, old gimmicks and new ones hurt these movies more than anything.

NASCAR as a Society

NASCAR is described as a governing body for motorsports. In other words, it is a government. But what kind of a government is it? One has to only look at its actions to see the sad truth about the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.

NASCAR as a government is a lot of things all balled up into one. For starters, it is Socialist. Every car is generally the same. All cars must meet the template, and the engines are so close there is no advantage to any party. The facade, both figuratively and literally, gives the illusion that there is some discrepancy between the different manufacturers. They say there is a ton of competition in NASCAR because the cars are so close, but that is really a lie. When everyone is the same, it is not competition. Competition is when manufacturers develop new cars to try to be the best, forcing other car companies to make theirs better. That is true competition.
