Re-Playing The Elder Scrolls: Blades

Last year, I reviewed The Elder Scrolls: Blades. I thought maybe I was being too hard on the game, and thought I would try playing it again. 
  I really disliked it. Every time It would complete a task, I would get a loot box. However, for me to see what was inside, I would have to buy it! Please see my last post about my loathing of loot boxes. It was super depressing. I really think Bethesda missed the whole mark on this. (Maybe not!) Maybe they didn’t. If they didn’t, that would mean they sat down and thought “What can we make that would get the attention of people, and still make lots of money... We can create a wonderful game and monetize people with loot boxes that they have to pay for!” I wrote another blog a couple weeks ago about loot boxes, and how they condition people to gambling. It is really upsetting to me because it would be an okay game to play, and the graphics are fantastic. But, why. Is everyone monetizing everything???

I deleted The Elder Scrolls Blades on my iPad, and iPhone. Indeed, I will not be trying to replay it again. 

I hope this is not what we will be looking forward to when the release of The Elder Scrolls: VI comes out.  

Parents: Do You Know What Your Child Is Playing?

Hey, parents! Do you know your kids are being targeted for learning how to gamble, and the major companies that your kids play these games, hope you don’t figure it out?

I love playing games. In fact, I probably play more than four of my five kids combined. This wasn’t always the case, but this isn’t what we are talking today. Today, the subject are loot boxes, and what this means to you as a parent. Parents, READ UP! Pay Attention!!

I have a game on my phone called Candy Crush. This game is very cute and innocent. You just crush candy and you level up. The game looks l Ike you’re in a candy land type game, and the main character, Tiffany, is the cutest with her pudgy checks and her little smiles when you reach a new level. Her sad face breaks your heart if you don’t make the level, and the stress of making you feel awful letting Tiffany down w hen you click a button telling her you give up because you didn’t make the level. Her eyes weld with tears, and her shoulders slump. As you click the “Retry” Button, her face pops out with all these rewards you will lose if you “retry” instead of buying more “Power Candy” or a “New Life” in order to stay and not give up your life. Sometimes, depending how high your level is, you lose all your hard earned rewards. Poof. Just like that. Why do you lose all those rewards? Well, you must play and play and play to earn those rewards, but, in order to keep those power candies, you can’t fail. If you fail, you can’t go to the next level. You can use gold bars, which are near impossible to win, unless you pass so many levels in a week and are the #1 in the race for passing levels. Then, you get one or two gold bars. Those are good for getting lives, or other power candies in order to the beat the level. Or, one can merely buy bars, power candies, etc. etc. in order to move up in the levels. 
The game is free, and so, where do you think the company makes it’s money? (There are no commercials to watch in order to play the game, no annoying cut screens of advertisements) King, the company that produced Candy Crush makes it’s money through monetizing the levels. You can’t move up in the game without those power candies, and once your 5 lives are over, you have to wait and wait and wait in order to play again. Ideally, you just buy a bunch of power candies, and you wont have to wait, because you spend a good 15$ on power candies, witch will get you at least five more levels. or, you can be stuck on a level for a week, until you figure out how to crush all the candy and go to the next puzzle (or level) 
Candy Crush does allow you to know what you are buying, however, those power candies don’t guarantee that you will get fro the next level with those special candies. Such as the problem with Loot Boxes. Loot Boxes give a false sense of hope and promise that the character you are playing will be able to get to the next level with a weapon, or other things that will get you to the next level. This is 100% gambling. Mind you, I am using Candy Crush as an example.
The U.K. came out with a half- a$$ “Beware What Your Kids Are Playing” to end with a “It’s your parenting, not the gaming trolls that is allowing your kids to take your money when they play video games like FIFA, which has a rating of E for EVERYONE... Including your little 8 year old child who wants to play a video game, and come to find out, he has cleaned out your banking account unbeknownst to you, thinking your child was just playing a soccer game, and, according to the warning you get, it’s your parenting and even is suggested you play with your children. This wouldn’t be such a problem, however, I recall when I would allow my teens to play video games. I used the XBox as a reward tool, and at the time I wasn’t a huge fan of video games. To be honest with you, there were times my kids would zone out and not pay attention to me, so, I would turn it off mid-game (which is a huge no no) 
I don’t think it is realistic to think that parents will play video games with their kids (not all parents). While, I tried to introduce my dad to my favorite video game because if not for anything the artistic graphics are outstanding, I was met with complete resistance from my mom, who was absolutely against me even showing the trailer for the game, which has really stunning graphics for the time.  
The problem I have with all of this is the video game industry has the same reaction that Purdue Pharmaceuticals has to the OxyContin addiction problem. That is, we just made the consumer something that everyone likes and wants, and it isn’t hurting anyone. If you Google “Gaming and Gambling” and see the list of the games that directly relate to gambling, you will be surprised. In fact, FIFA 20 is a game my husband wanted, until I told him about what is happening with FIFA and parents with their kids and “Pay To Win” scams. Pay to Win is exactly what is sounds like. That is that if you pay money you will win everything you want, and get through the game faster, without having to do the grind to get the same result, that is to play the game though without having to pay. Some of the games give even better equipment and tools to beat the level without doing the work, whilst others are spending hours playing the game and get half the results. Is this fair? If we want to teach our kids to not cheat, why are we teaching them that they can pay for their levels... 
Well, in the coming months, it will be interesting to see what happens to the gaming industry here in the USA. It won’t take too long before we will wake up and smell the stink that consumers are being ripped off of millions of dollars by innocently playing videos games. 
Do you know what your child is playing?

The Elder Scrolls Blades

Hi, Readers!

   For those people in the U.S.A. who had pre-ordered The Elders Scrolls Blades, came out for us today! 
I am really excited to play it. I thought I had pre-ordered the PS4 version, however, I did not, and therefore, I will have to download it on my gaming consul when it is out for the public everywhere. I also downloaded it to my iPad, and therefore I am excited about playing it and trying with the LongRock. 
I had forgotten what email I have my account with Bethesda on, and so it's going to be rough for a few days looking for my passcode... Tsk Tsk 

I did start the first part. No spoiler Alerts here. It will take some getting used to. I hope it is all the hype it should be, because Bethesda hasn't had a good record the past few months with the Fallout '76 debacle of 2018-now. But, moving forward. 

Well, I will be posting my experiences with TES Blades as soon as I start playing, and there will be spoil alters in that one. 

Peace Hugs and Loves 

AND: I Am Reviewing The PS4 TODAY!

Hello, readers! 

I wanted to talk about my new toy. I am really excited to have purchased my new PlayStation 4. It is making me excited to get the PlayStation Pro, when my husband comes so we can play together. 

Let me say, I am not a professional at all, and the point to saying this is I am not getting paid to say this, so, I am just saying my opinion about this product. 
Well, as usual, it was very easy to set up. I am currently playing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I love the graphics for this consul. I love PS4. I wish that I would have waited for the price of the Pro to go down, but, to my defense, I just couldn't wait to get the PS4. (hehehe) I love the PS4, and, upon playing around with it, I found how beautifully it captures the graphics of games. I really wish that there is a gaming consul that would be able to allow PS4 and PS3 games in one consul. Other than that, I am really impressed and I love my PS4. I have had it for a few months, now, and I am able to watch all my movies as well as streaming my tv series I like to watch. The quality is crystal clear I am really happy with it, and I think I got a great deal. I want to do more things with it, and I think that I am not using it to the full potential it has, and so I will be playing around with it, as far as filming and editing. I do need a new laptop, because my El Gato will not  
accept my laptop, as it says that I dont have the technology for my El Gato... So, I will have to see about that. 
In conclusion, i love my PS4, i think it is worth the money you pay for, the games are great, and the graphics are gorgeous. I see why people buy the XBox, but, I do prefer the PS4 over the XBox. 

Happy Gaming!!

iPad Pro Review

A few months ago I purchased a brand new iPad Pro, 12 inch screen, 512 GB of memory, and the Apple Pencil, and Keypad that are accessories that can go with it.
I want to share with you so far, my observations on this.

First of all, I really like that handling of the keyboard and iPad. They are a great fit together and I love the functionality of the Keyboard.
It makes the iPad feel like a miniature Laptop, but, it has more potential to do everything and more than a regular laptop, and I think that this is what the designers had thought of all along.

I still have little qualms, and for those reasons, It feels very much like an iPad, and I am sure this is why my husband does not want an iPad, but he loves his Mac.
It has been a few days now that I have been writing my posts using my iPad, and I have the same frustrates the very first post about the issue, Blogspot and iPhone/iPad, don't communicate well at all. As much as the iPad Pro does so many things that makes it feel like a Laptop, it isn't one. 

I know that Apple has Pages, and you can write in that, but, it would be easier if Blogspot made my settings easier for me to set up when I logged in and not have to get annoyed because it is not doing the size, font, and color I want. I have to go into my laptop every time I write so I can make sure it is how I want it, because it doesn't do that in iPad and iPhone for me.

iPad Pro has great speakers which are loud and has a little boom in it as well. I can watch movies and TV series, as well as go in Twitch, Discord, and YouTube and everything runs great! 

I do have to keep in mind that I still can not do everything a laptop can do, and I now need a new laptop. So, I wish I would have used my credit for a Laptop, as mine currently is on the brink, and will go out very soon (it is 8 years old). There are a lot of good to an iPad Pro, and I love how easy and accessible it is.  

Update: I have been posting with my iPad by writing a post on Pages, cut, and paste my post in Blogger. This has fixed my frustrations. 

BES3: My Opinions (aka: I am Writing Things I Know Nothing Of...)

Hello, my Good Readers! 

A couple days ago,(I wrote this June 2 or so, and the BE3 was on the 30th of May).  I was able to watch the BE3 on a live Twitch Stream on Twitch.  As I write this, please know, I will be assuming that those reading this had already watched the BE3. 

As I was watching, I admit, I want to go next year, because it will be very,  very exciting!  

Rage 2:

While I have never played this game, and never heard of it, I think this game will be really fun to play. I did not like the execution of the opening of the BE3 for Bethesda. I think if they really wanted to go big, they should've had the band play before, while everyone was waiting, and then, while Todd Howard came out they were playing their music. I did not care for the band, the song, nor the performance, suffice to say. I understand that the band was playing a song, or theme song for the actual game, and I was not the only to have this opinion.    

Doom Eternal

Moving to announcement of Doom Eternal. This is a sequel to the Doom that came out 2016. I have not played Doom, because it looks too scary, but, for the big fans of Doom, this will be loads of Monsters. In fact, when announcing, there was a promise saying, “You guys like monsters? You’ll get a ton more monsters!”, and the crowd went nuts. I think that it is going to be a great game, and I think the fans will love this game. Who knows? Maybe I will start, but, I am sure it’s too scary for me. 

More information at the QuakeCon in August 2018. 

Quake Champions

I haven’t heard about Quake until I watched the BE3. I don’t know what to think other than the whole rolling it out seemed like the creators were saying, "This is our new game and we’re doing okay as a company. Please come play Quake Champions." In my opinion, the whole trailer, like the game seemed full of lack luster, and, again my readers, if you’re all fans of Quake I am sorry. It just didn’t have the wow-ness that Doom Eternal had when they announced it. In fact, I think that if there is nothing to say and nothing to that the game is going to change in, plug those games at the end. I might give it a try, and hopefully, I am proved wrong.

Prey DLC Moon

Now, again I have never heard of Prey. So, I was super curious when they mentioned a new DLC was coming out for Prey. I am now hoping that I will have time to play it. Graphics looked cool, and it doesn’t look as scary as Doom. I need to get it. I will need a PS4 first. 

Wolfstein 2 Young Blood

Now, I have heard of Wolfsltein, and I have always wanted to play it. I have never had the time. So, when they announced a new Wolfstein, I thought, “Oh no! I’m in trouble! I’ve not even played the first one!” Well, you fans of Wolfstein all know it is going to be Multiplayer, Co-op, Cyber Pilot and played on many platforms, one being VR. When I play this, I will like to play with my husband. I think that will be fun. I do prefer single player games, however, I also like playing games with Long Rock also. I think it will be successful. Story line is interesting. 

FallOut Shelter

Well, this game is on all platforms, as well as Switch, for free! I have not ever played FallOut and I am not sure what to think of playing. I think the fans of this game will like playing, and it is for free, so, it will be fun to wait for until FallOut comes out with their new game, which everyone is waiting for. (I’ll explain my comment below about not sure about playing... Hold in first)

Scrolls Legends

So, before you all get angry at me, this is just my opinion, and please don’t get all upset over me and my opinions. 

Elder Scrolls Legends is a digital card game. In all honesty, I don’t care for it. I have not really liked Elder Scrolls Legend. So, when they announced they are updating it, I just wasn’t enthusiastic about it. The reason being is I tried playing it, I didn’t like playing it, and wrote about why I didn’t like playing it. But, here’s what I can say about it. It will be played on consoles, the graphics will get a nice upgrade, and that will be fun for the fans. I felt like they were saying “Hi, Guys! Please play ES Legends, it is really fun”. Well, Hearthstone is the one that has been around longer, and, people like to play that one. In all honesty, I don't like card games that I cannot touch- feel, hold in my hands

ESO (The Elder Scrolls Online)

So, back in the day, I was a BETA tester for The Elder Scrolls Online, (ESO)

I was really bummed because I couldn’t play much, as the ESO server was having issues with a handful of us BETA testers. I was one of them. So, this game, I love, but, since my laptop has been getting older, I will have to go get another laptop and play ESO on my own. There are 2 new DLC’s coming with it. There will be a Wolf Hunter Dungeon (meaning that it will have Werewolves in the new DLC) and, They are expanding the world to include The Black Marsh, with Merkmier as part of that expansion. So, the graphics, again, will be amazing, and it looks really awesome. (New Gaming PC, please!) 

The Elder Scrolls: Blades

I am really excited about this game. You can play single or multiplayer, on a mobile, or console, and many other platforms. I am thrilled to be one of the players on this. They have their own server, and I will definitely play this game. I love that I can play co-op with my husband if he will play with me. I think it is cool they have 3 ways to play and I will try to play all of them. They have Abyss which is pretty much  perma-death, then Arena, where you can play pvp, and the last is Town. You can build your own town, and play all you want. I am highly interested in this game, and it is free. I already preordered mine, and will be on both my iPad and iPhone. The crazy thing is I can be playing it on my console and pick up from where I left off on my iPhone. Love the concept. 

Fall Out ‘76 

So, this will be online, single or multiplayer, and it’s highly advised to play multiplayer. 

4 times the size of Fall Out 4. 

Will start in West Virginia which is home to nuclear site in real life. The seer will send the player to 6 different regions. They will have what is called C.A.M.P. That will allow you to build your own bunker, and you will be able to move your bunker. You have to get or collect Codes in order to get nuclear weapon parts, and then you will be able to nuke zones. That will be fun. I have a problem with Fall Out Games because they seem to real for me. However, I will play this one. I think I will love playing it with friends, and my husband. I am excited about that. I think this one will be a huge success. 

Teasers:

Starfield: 
This game looks cool, but, I didn’t see a whole lot of the game, because it seemed like a 4 second clip. 

I will be excited to play this when it comes out in the next ??? Years. But, I will be playing this and I think it will be a hit, and you can really tell that this is the Todd Howard's "Baby" of games for now. 

The Elder Scrolls VI: 
This game, of course, looks great. I am excited to be playing it. I like the sounds of the trumpets, and the brass sounding instruments. I know there will be tons of speculations as to where the game will be placed. I am not writing about that for now. 

Well, my readers, I am sorry this took so long for you all to read, but, I have written my full thoughts about Bethesda’s new releases. I apologize for hurting anyone’s feelings, and just am putting in my own opinions down. Write in the comment section if you have your own ideas, and speculation of where ESVI will be. I have my thoughts on that, but I am not saying it in here. 

Have a very nice day, and I will write again soon! 

Is Your Pixma MG3220 Giving You a Headache?

Mine has been for the last couple of months.
 I have the same Samsung I came from Turkey with that my husband bought me. My Pixma has been used for documents I need to bring my husband here. I have come to need more documents and over the last few months, I have gotten lots of errors. One has been E03, (paper jammed) or There is no paper in your tray, etc. 
  The, first thing I did (my Samsung doesn't have a DVD, readers... for those of you not familiar, DVD drives are going to be outdated in a couple of years, and my husabnd and I have been speculating this since 2013, that by 2020 or sooner, DVD drives will be a thing of a past... Hey, with TB drives out there, who wants a DVD drive?...) I am not here to debate that today, though... Anyway. I went onto Canon webpage, (see, you don't need a DVD for that) and found the latest update matching my Model and Number of my Canon Printer.
Next, I made sure I had my wifi set and connected to the printer and computer. It all went well. But it would not print. I tried everything. I called the Canon Tech support and he walked me through a couple of things. 
He could not figure it out either.So we hung up.  One of the things I noticed, at first, it wasn't grabbing my paper with the rubber rollers. So,(after turning the printer off)  I took electronic cleaner (a can of air, and a skinny straw attached: You can buy it in any eletronic sections in stores. Or Office Max or Staples) I then sprayed it, opened the back, sprayed it again. 
Then I pressed the button with the screw driver and wrench next to it (next to my scan button) And I pressed it until I saw the "6". Then I ran different weights of paper through it. It works as good as new.

If you want to know what all the E- Codes mean to your Pixma 3220,CLICK HERE FOR HELP WITH YOUR CANON PIIXMA MG3220 and follow the directions. Or type the E- Code in Google with your Make and Model of your Printer, and will bring it up. 

Samsung Ultrabook NP530U3B Review (Girl's Lingo, Guys!)

So, I wanted to review my new Ultrabook. 
I don't know if anyone recalls but I had an Asus, and it died on me right around Christmas time. We wanted to wait to get a new laptop because we were in a Wedding Planning mode and we were researching which one we would like to get and what would be better for us, for me, etc. 
We were looking at many different options. Well, we sort of gave up looking for a while because I wanted something that will last and something that was versatile, and something that was not so heavy, I had a lot of things on my mind I wanted 

First::: Graphics
Second::: Storage. 
Third: Speed
Fourth: Weight
Fifth: Quality
and Last: Price/Affordibility

Well, Lets not put it all in exact order. These are just what I wanted. 
Like I said, not in this order. Husband is an egghead, which helped me a lot, and he has some of his own specs too.
So let's look at what I got! (Thank you Husband!) 
Samsung Ultra Book NP530U3B

Graphics, Screen:: 

Amazing. What can I say? I will be able to play ESO when it comes out (Get ready, I want to start my own little guild. I have some followers for that!) 
And I wanted to upload my pictures, blog and do things that well, in layman's terms, I want it to look pretty! This delivers. Intel HD 4000 Graphics. (pretty high tech for a little mini laptop)
The 13.3 inch screen is Ultra Thin. About think of an iPod Touch First Generation... And go a tad bit thinner. some people say bigger is better. Well, I too like big. But think, the bigger the heavier, too. This I can tote in my Coach or Gucci bags and I am off. The graphics resolution for the screen is fabulous, and flawless in my humble opinion. Indeed I am happy with it.

Multi-Media
The HD audio is good. It can get pretty loud, and I have been playing music, which sounds good. I love my music. The speakers are above the keyboard, and I like that position because there are laptops where the speakers are where the USB jacks are and I am not sure I like them there. Speakers are 2x2 Watts, so 4 watts, not bad for a little 13.3 inch Ultrabook.
Webcam is 1.3 megapixels but,HD. I have tried it on Skype and it was actually a good vision. The Husband was in one room with the ultrabook and I was on my iPhone, clear vision, good microphone, everything worked and picture was great.   Microphone is a Mic "Noise Suppression Sound Alive" and it works really nicely.

Storage:
 
I am happy with the 500 Gigs of storage. If I need more I can pop in an External hard drive to store more things, but 500 is ample for me, with the (Express Cache 24GB) I have no idea what Express Cache means. It is just sounding really cool to me. 
 (Husband don't laugh. I am trying to sound cool now)

Speed and Weight

Everything is fast on this little Notebook. Fast internet. Fast to pull up my Docs, uploading is fast, downloading is fast. Downloading iTunes (64 bit with Windows, don't download the 34 bit, you will not be able to open the set up) it took me 2 minutes to download and set up. Really. That is really fast, ladies. 
 The weight on mine because I have HDD is 3.35 pounds (that is 1.519 kg for all my non-American readers) And really, that is light. 

Battery life 

This was an issue I forgot to list in my above list. My Asus eventually gave out on my and before it did eventually the battery died on me. We later found out that is was a huge complaint for that particular model and make, and so we were a little frustrated with it from time to time. This has a battery life of 5 hours when you are running just the laptop and playing music from time to time. Three and a half hours if you have other things attached that sucks battery life. I had a cooler under it to see how long it would later with it and 3 and a half hours with the cooler. I have my iPhone plugged into it right now for charging and it charges a littler slower but, I have 75% battery remaining and it seems to be about a and .5 hour battery life. Not bad either. 

There are jacks on the left: HDMI, USB 3.0 External Hard Drive, Ethernet, the DC outlet, ear phones and a phone jack or for your camera. The right has two 2.0 External hard drive USB, and a card slot. The bigger Ultrabooks vary and have DVD drives. This one does not. No matter, I can use a jump drive to watch movies or an external hard drive. For traveling I can use my 500 Gig storage. and this is not meant to just sit on a desk either. 

This is a sleek, high tech, great quality and affordable laptop. Did I mention the keyboard is really a nice one ans really smooth finish to it. I will be getting a protector for it, as I tend to use it a lot but that is my preference. There is also options to turn off the palm reader. So, while you are typing and the cursor acts a little crazy, it might be due to the pad. So you can make it less sensitive. I like that. 
I will be converting it to English also, which is easy to do. That part is also a no big whoop. 

Extras:: I bought a coolant that is USB powered, so I can use it in the bed or on my lap. My (new pink)wireless mouse is a Microsoft and works really well with the new Ultrabook.  
 The conclusion is that you are getting your money's worth, you are getting a really great laptop. Well, guys, there you have it. My two cents. 



 

Taber Cats, Dragons, and Bears, OH MY!

So, I have to tell somewhat of a story and give you a back ground on this topic.

 (No, not a movie)

 All of my life I have had this thing... It is not a bad one, just a trait of mine that once I start something I have to do it well. I get really freaked out in my mind if it is not the way I like it or if I think it should be better. I guess it is a borderline O.C.D. thing, I don't know. I have always tried to realize it is me and not some out side influence, and I do everything I can to keep it in so that people around me are not effected.

 With that said, I have said before that I am, or I feel I am not a very good Game Consul Player because I have to win and I have to be good at it and in reality, Game Consul Games are harder to me than real board games.

With that all said, I have developed a somewhat addiction for a PS3 Game. Yes, you read correctly. This is an epic one. Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

So, imagine going into a Game Consul and when you turn on the game for the very first time, you think you are watching a movie, and even I would go as far as say that the graphics are that you think at first you are watching a movie like "Dinosaurs" where there are real pictures and computer animated to look real people and animals and creatures, however, everything is computer animated, but looks real. So real in fact, I get scared to play. I am literally scared. Long Rock LOVES Scary Movies. This does not scare him, and so I imagine many of people that likes watching scary movies will not think this is scary. 

  The story line starts off with your Character heading to the chopping block in the city of Helgen, in the vast land of Skyrim, where you are being punished for Treason. While in Helgen, a dragon, which later you find out has the name of "Alduin" attacks the city and kills everyone in the city, including the people that had captured you. 

 Before you get to the chopping block, you are required to give yourself a name, a race and you will pick through limited hair options, but you will pick your race, which comes with special race perks, or special triats. 

•  Altmer: They are Highborn Elves, and Regenerate Magic Quick. Very Tall Race
• Argonian: They are Lizard Looking, have Underwater skills and are resistant to poison. They can only marry other Argonians and instead of wearing the Amulet of Mara to want to marry, the Argonian has to make a ring for the one they intend to marry, and the ring has special meanings to the different Argonian wearing and making it. (There is only one female marry-able Argonian in Skyrim. She lives in Windhelm) 
• Bosmer: They are Wood Elves. They can command Animals and are known for their Archery Skills. They are good Stealth Warriors. They are resistant to Poison.
•  Breton: Half Elf and Half Human, Bretons resist magic, have what is called "Dragon skin" meaning they can resist hostile magic spells for 60 seconds. They are highly intelligent and have many special perks if a player chooses this Skyrim Minority Race.They can have great Magic and Combat skills, but there is a bug, and Conjuration Spells sometimes fail when a player has a Character that is a Breton. 
• Dunmer: Otherwise known as Dark Elves. They are also a Minority of Skyrim and treated slightly better than Argonians, who are sequestered to only the Docks of Skyrim. Dunmer came to Skyrim after a huge Volcano erupted and they lost all their homes. They are resistant to Magic up to 50% and they have "Ancestor's Wrath" Perk. What it does is engulfs the castor in Flames of Fire for 8 seconds and gives damage to the enemy, leaving them weak with stamina, and health. For a normal Non-Player in Skyrim that is not hostile it will kill them in a couple of seconds. 
•   Imperial: They are slightly darker Human- Type race that have strong features, a sharp jaw line, deep set eyes. They have incredible speech skills and they seem to find gold and extra money everywhere they go. They have the perk of being able to calm enemies for 60 seconds. Essential Characters the player will interact with will identify them with Latin or Italian names, such as Viloa Giordano. 
• Khajiit: This race in Skyrim are Cat Like. They Look like Bobcats that walk upright. They are very very fast. 50% faster than any other race in Skyrim, a more quiet, do not have to use weapons as they have claws when attacking (such as a cougar) and make excellent Assassins. They have night vision, have thick fur like a cougar, or bobcat, and are enemies with the Argonian.They can not marry in Skyrim, so if you want the Marriage Perk, being a Khajiit would not be an option.
•  Nord: Are humans that are fair skinned and have a 50% resistant to Cold and Magic Frost. They are Warriors and very strong. They are excellent combatants and have known skills in the two hand and one hand weaponry.They have a battle cry as another inherited perk. This makes the enemy run and scare for 30 seconds in Battle.  They usually bare Nordic or Scandinavian names, such as Rolf, Sven, Rorick, etc etc. 
• Orismer: This race in Skyrim are also known as Orc. These are Barbarian people that are the best Warriors if you want Stealth, Strength and Pure Iron Muscle. They Love fighting battles and are perfect in Combats. There is a saying in Skyrim, "No one beats an Orc". And it is a tough battle if you go up against one. Orcs are in the Elven Family, as a matter of fact, but that has not stopped them from being pure combat worthy. and being they are Elves, they still have magic as a perk, and so they are perfect to play as. 
• Redguard: These humans are from the land of Hammerfell and have dark skin and dark hair and dark eyes. They are excellent in Light Weaponry, and fast, with an incredible stamina and resistant to magic. 
• Vampirism: Humans, Mers, and Beast can contract this Disease which has perks and consequences to those perks. The perks are 100% resistant to diseases, Invisibility, re-animate a dead strong body to help fight for 60 seconds, night vision for 180 seconds for one day, but interacting with anyone will make the invisibility null. However, the drawbacks to Vampirism in Skyrim is that Character has 100% weakness to Frost, Sun, and Fire. Being attacked by a Vampire can cause Vampirism and the character can be cured within three days or the Vampire Disease is onset and the only way to rid of it is to obtain a Black Gem Stone and perform a Ceremony with the help of a Falion. (as explained in the totally awesome Skyrim webpage I use for references: Totally awesome webpage I use to guide me through Skyrim
• Lycanthropy: Is another disease that can be contracted in Skyrim. Or You can chose to be a Werewolf if you want. If you contract it and become cured, you can not have the option of ever getting it again and if you are cured before finishing the Quest lines that are involved in those Quests, will be unfinished quests. It is wise to really think beforehand what you want to do with your character when contracting or ridding yourself of this disease.

Now, once you choose from the many different races, and chose your name, which by the way once you save that you can not go back and change it. I made the mistake of not noticing I forgot to name my character, so to my dismay I have the name "Prisoner" and I hate my name. I realized it as soon as I pressed save. Oh, when I get letters from different N.P.C.'s or when an Essential Character asks my name, and I have to respond with "Prisoner"... Ugh. I could if I want to go back ad play the entire game to where I am again, but I don't want to.

I think this game is amazing in the sense that you can interact with everything around you. I can make my character swim in a river, get salmon in the river, cook it, I unlock doors and treasure chests, have conversations with people to get my speech skills Once you get through getting out of prison and getting out of Helgen, your adventure is all up to you. You can do any quest you want, you can raid all the caves, and places  you want, and see all the different cities you want. It is really amazing. My addiction was not present until I had been combating and raiding with a one Housecarl I obtained after fighting and killing a dragon, and the Jarl gave her, Lydia to me. Well, Lydia was killed by a dragon and not only killed but when I went to find her, only her ribcage was found, I literally cried. I mean tears rolling down my face. I think it was because I had spent so much time trying to battle this Dragon and get to the level I was at. Well, I realized, I think I have a problem. But, this game captivated me. I mean, It is really amazing. 

  So, If you want to get into a game that has action, intrigue, adventure, thrill, and an amazing soundtrack with great graphic designs, I suggest this game. 

 

Electronics Hate Me, Still

So, I love electronics. I mean, gadgets and things... I love them. 
I even have cables up the wazoo because I feel like you can never own enough. 
  I have to write a Christmas Letter for my family.  Every year we do this thing where we write Family Christmas Letters to each other. We write one and print out like 12 or 13 of them for everyone in the family. Now that I have a couple of nieces and nephews with their own family, we have more. I thought of this idea and we have been doing it for about 14 years now. We put them in 3 ring binders, and collect them every year. 
Mine is gone. I think it was in my storage. With all my books and many other things I will never get back.
Last year I wrote one and put in three pictures in it but, my parents in their... Whatever, did not use my letter and pictures. 
A couple of years ago, I wrote one and my dad went behind my back and re-wrote it so I told my dad to not do that because it is not my words and not my letter. 
 Well, My mom wrote me a month ago and asked me to write one again. 
 I thought, ok... My kids can help me. They are in the USA so sending a letter will take 2 weeks, and 6 weeks ago I told my kids... Prepare what you want me to put in the Family Letter. 
 Have they? Nno. So, I have been finding pictures I have of this past Summer and I put them in a folder. 
 I thought that the fold drop option windows has when moving a file to another fold will copy. This does not always happen. 
 For 5 hours I lost about 50 pictures of my summer with my kids and Long  Rock
Also, to top things off, I have a cell phone that I really like. I mean really like it a lot. 
The day before yesterday it started making that "Low Battery" sound, and so I as usual, plugged it into the charger, and it kept beeping like it was charging, then, ten seconds later, it made that beep like it was disconnected from the charge. Well, naturally I took out the battery and sim card. 
That did not do anything. As a matter of fact, it does not charge at all. It is like the little slot where the charger goes is not working. 
ARRRRGH   So, All night, well, 26 hours, I was plugging it in hte phone, it would make that bluup sound, ok... It is charging, I would set it down... buuulp... Not charging... ARRRGh!!! This went on for hours. So when I woke up this morning and last night when I fell asleep it was charging... ı mean... charging... Dudue, I woke up this morning things, "All is well with the Universe"...
 1. Because instead of a letter I thought, I will do a 2minute and 30 second movie of my year with pictures and music. 
I sent it to Child for approval... She will let me know by know, right???
And 2. Because my battery to my phone will be charged.
Right?
I mean RIGHT?
Oh, the hours of charging actually drained my battery and my battery was DEAD
and the Christmas Letter/ Movie was considered "Random" By the movie Critics... 
Random???
UUUghghhh... Dead Batteries, couldn't find my files with 50 pictures, Random Rating... 
I was in a bad mood... 
 I wrote Shahira a letter... Dude... Help me then, how can it be fantastic? What do you want put in it? What can make it a Fantastic Rating and out of the Ok.. Random Rating... 
No response
My battery? Not working... 
I am waiting for a charger and I re-switched my phone for one that I used before. 
I am still in a bad mood though

I did however make a better movie Upside? 

The Snuggle Bear fixed the laptop

I have not been writing for the last week because I have been going nuts. 
  My keyboard was going all whacky and I could not type anything without wanting to throw the laptop out of the window. If dawned on the Snuggle that I might have a virus. This is how it was fixed. We opened up all hidden files and then we bought Norton. (I love Norton!) We scanned it and found out we had about 10 viruses. One was called DC. This virus would not let me type anything.  It was not letting me use the caps and I could not get into any place that required a passcode easily.  Sometimes my caps lock would be on when I had little letters and vise versa. I was going nuts. I think I just the virus from my work. I had a jump drive I used for CD Listening. We have to listen to them as a class. I had forgotten my jump drive there and had been looking for my jump drive... Yeah... whom ever thought it would be lovely to take my jump drive... You gave me the virus. Anyway... The jump drive is doing great now too, all is well that ends well
