That box red ringed a long time ago, and I didn’t want to buy another copy…

I was having a trip down memory lane, listening to some old songs that occupied the airwaves, when I was back at school. After a bit of S’Express and Technotronic, I came across this timeless classic by the JAMS aka KLF Then that reminded me of the book they wrote: The Manual: (how to Have a Number One the Easy Way) This unparalleled expose of the pop-music scene is the…

Reading on the Bethesda Blog that the Skyrim team were moving on to their next projects, but there was one last gift to the community, Skyrim patch 1.9 [rating:4] Heaps of bug fixes, but it was the new features that motivated me to load up my last save point: Legendary difficulty setting Legendary Skills – Skills of 100 can be made Legendary.
