I linked a Wii Remote to my laptop, powered up a wireless Iar bar and gave Skyward Sword a bit of a try. The controls worked pretty well but I was just not in the mood for Zelda. So I fired up Skyrim again, see if my interest in that got rekindled.

Oh my...did it ever.

I got trounced a bit when trying to fire up the steam generators in the dwarven fortress due to controller fumbling. Once I got my 360 controller fingers back I and my virtual partner in death wipe out the mechanations, started the generators and took out a "master" automoton, which looked just incredible.

We got the dark book unlocked which, upon reading, took me to this dark realm of Hermaeus Mora-the Dedric prince of fate and knowledge. This was a creepy-ass place that dripped with atmosphere with surroundings made with fused pages from books, tentacles and bending pathways. I also bumped my 3rd person mode, which I thought the game did on its own which was a neat effect. I got through the different chapters and then spoke with Mora itself...a big eye with a bunch of bubbly smaller eyes appearing in greasy greenish-yellow mists.

I exited the realm and saved at a point where I have to fight a dragon. This should be fun.....
