What is it with this game and its obsession with water? Now I'm going to have to extend my therapy sessions to another few months...

We're after Shinjiro, but now they are after us. From the darkness of night they come, creeping along the shadows. We won't let them stand in our way; he's so close!

For shame, Alexander! Everything in this castle is in poor condition! Nothing works around here! Such a messy, lazy Baron you are. Lucky for you, you have us to get things back up and running! Unlucky

     Several Katakara Clansmen were hurt, harmed, and injured in the making of this video. If they had just cooperated in surrendering the last Comm Tower, or at least pointing it out standing right behind my head, many of them would have been spared. At least we can get back under way now.

We've done our time; isn't that enough? We're breaking out of this place, but I'm not sure the place we're heading to is much better...

     This guy is definitely no Payne! The Swordsman and I actually have to work for our wins now? So much for smooth sailing!... or... stabbing... shooting...?
     Also... here Com Tower, Com Tower, Com Tower...

Ha ha! I'm catching onto your twisted little games... er, Game! You're gonna have to try harder than that if you want to start catching me off guard again!

It truly is hard to tell the difference between the two, but one thing is certain: There sure is a lot of scum in this episode.

Since when did I become a repairman? Are you a repairman, Daniel? You're not? Seeing how much you've taken and broken so far, I didn't think so. Figures. So... you a mechanic?

A bit of a short episode here, but I thought that the end of the video was the best place to end it before we get on to the next area of the game.

     It's funny because I don't even eat breakfast... Laugh, damn you!

     So, I expect a large portion of my life to be sucked straight from out of my body and into this game once it comes out. As I've mentioned before, I don't plan on doing an LP or "playthrough" of Skyrim any time soon, since the game will be too large and massive for me to do a proper one of it straight off the bat. But since I'm going to be playing the game like crazy anyway, might as well let you guys join in on the adventure through the magic of live internet streaming. Together, we'll take Skyrim by storm!... or get eaten alive trying to do it... Here's some noteworthy facts to keep in mind:

- I've pre-ordered the game and expect to have it on the day Skyrim is released: 11/11/11, and I plan on beginning the stream shortly after receiving/installing it, if not sometime before. However, this is not a definite: there are several things that could happen that prevent me from streaming the game, such as late arrival, no arrival, Stream site goes down, Bethesda/Amazon/Shipping Company screws something up, Skyrim doesn't play well with streaming (open-world Bethesda games are well-known for having several bugs on release), etc.

- As it has been a while since I last streamed, I will have one or two test streams before Skyrim's release date, in which I plan to at least get used to my old settings again as well as try and test stream Oblivion... ya know, for practice... Specific dates haven't been decided yet, but right now, I'm looking at either Nov. 2, 4, and/or 9.

- The stream will most likely be held on my Livestream account, since it's the only one I could get PC gaming to stream on decently, but might try something with UStream during one of the test streams. Both streams can be found through my blog, and this will later be updated with the definite stream link once it is decided.

- Knowing my gaming habits, I will be playing Skyrim a lot... as in, everyday. I plan to try and stream as much of me playing it as I can, so don't expect to actually catch everything I do when playing/streaming.

- If I am able to, I will upload clips from the streams here onto Youtube, in case people miss some notable moments that are worth screen time.

- Amnesia should be done or close to being done by the time Skyrim comes around, and if it isn't, I will still upload Amnesia videos on a regular basis. The same can't be said for Red Steel, though; there's still quite some ways to go through that playthrough.

- I'm actually in a situation at the moment where it's hard to test/judge audio levels, so audio might be a bit over the place in this video. Just a warning. Come to think of it, I guess I should have put this up near the top, huh? Oh well, you probably watched the video already and figured that out. Good job. I can't hear the audio that well right now, but it sure does look nice from where I'm sitting...

- More info to come, so check back later. If you have any questions, ask away.
