    A couple of articles I dug up that seem to be newish

    The Skyrim Team Has a Better Plan for Squashing Bugs this Time

    As much as people love the expansive video games of Bethesda Softworks, they loathe the bugs—and the surprising preponderance of them that appear with the launch of new Elder Scrolls or Fallout games.

    This time, as Bethesda prepares to put out the massive Skyrim, they've got a plan to do better.

    With Skyrim, Bethesda will adopt a special direct connection to their game—on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360—that will let them update the game on the fly, similarly to how EA is able to tweak the rosters of their sports games without going through the standard multi-day or multi-week waits to update most games on consoles. They are also running new and better processes to catch bugs before the game launches.

    "We want to be in the position of being able to improve the game, no matter what way that is," Skyrim creative director Todd Howard told me today as he I played the game and peppered him with questions about bugs and other stuff.

    Same sex marriage in Skyrim

    You can marry anyone in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, Bethesda has confirmed.

    "The subject seems like hush hush," someone asked Bethesda marketing guru Pete Hines on Twitter.

    "Not hush hush," he replied, "just not making a huge deal out of it. You can marry anyone."

    Then, "Sorry, should clarify. Not any NPC, just mean any male or female. Doesn't matter what you're playing."

    In Skyrim, out in November, you can have romantic relationships with NPCs. You make friends with people by doing things for them. Friends will treat you differently and will go into dungeons with you. If you own a house, your spouse will move in with you.

    Bethesda taking initiative to stomp out bugs that have been ever so prevalent in previous releases which is a big plus in my books. Also, gay marriage, ala Fable, which isn't ground breaking but I guess a good move anyway.

    Oh, also, Skyrim DLC will be available 30 days sooner (again) on Xbox 360 than anywhere else. http://www.1up.com/news/skyrim-dlc-xbox-36-month-early

    Been really enjoying the 5th anny game since I got it too. Made the mistake of picking up a soul shard that wasn't mine and got kicked out of the mages guild. Reloaded a save rather than gather 40 plants...

    Ran into an aiylid ruin that had magical turrets in it that kept shooting ice bolts at me. After running past those and a sweeping fence that tried to impale me, it was the two necromancers that made me finally turn around and run the other way. I'll be back soon enough!

    So I bought the oblivion re release yesterday since I sold off my copy a couple years back. When I was being escorted through the escape tunnel I started punching the king and my hand to hand skill increased by 1! I thought "Oh cool I'll keep going then" yeah him and his guards had had enough by that point and was promptly left slumped overin a corner forced to reload my last save lol.

    I sold off original Oblivion a while back so I'm getting the 5th anniversary edition to tide me over until Skyrim. It's only $29.99 for a basically a repackaged GotY edition but with the $10 coupon. It also will NOT have PS3 trophy support and apparently the Vampirism glitch will not have been fixed from what I've read and that Bethesda has given up on that.

    OMG Snow?

    I was trying to get to lansdowne camosun on the #4 and it took over an hour to get out of downtown. Didn't even make it to Bay street and then I found out camosun was closed. Downtown library closed at 3 too, today sucked lol.

    The Official Transit Thread

    Folks in Vancouver don't realize how good they have it (capacity wise, maybe not service wise). Every commuter train I took in Europe at rush hour was crammed beyond capacity and we were all sardines in a can. If it gets you where you're going on time, no complaints!
