PC and Xbox 360 Skyrim players are already enjoying Dawnguard and Hearthfire (sorry PS3 players), but it looks like Bethesda isn’t quite finished releasing DLC for its latest epic. A particularly savvy Bethesda forums member has taken an up close look at the code for the Skyrim beta 1.8 update and has possibly unearthed details about Skyrim‘s next piece of DLC. According to this user, who goes by the name of Mardoxx, Skyrim‘s next DLC could be called “Dragonborn,” and it’s taking place in area that isn’t actually a part of Skyrim.
Specifically, we’re talking about Solstheim, a rather large-looking island that lies just north of Morrowind and northeast of Skyrim. There are other locations mentioned too, including Raven Rock, Castle Karstaag, Miraak Temple, Telvanni Tower, and the Standing Stones. Even better? It looks like players will be riding dragons at some point in this DLC, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that there will be dragon mounts – Eurogamer points out that it could just be a scripted event.
Still, we know that Bethesda has played around with the idea of dragon mounts, so it may not be long before you can summon a dragon from the skies and fly over the lands of Skyrim on its back. In any case, there were other goodies spotted in the code for beta update 1.8, like mounted spell casting, new armor types, and a few new creates and items that Mardoxx claims are “not that interesting.” PS3 players take note, as PS3 DLC was also specifically mentioned in the code. We’re not sure what the mention of PS3 DLC means, but it may just be a glimmer of hope for players who have been waiting a really long time for Skyrim DLC with nothing to show for it.
It’s been a while since we last visited Solstheim, which was a location in the Bloodmoon expansion for Morrowind. If all of this is legitimate – Mardoxx warns that it could be an elaborate prank on Bethesda’s part – then there is definitely reason to get excited. For now, however, we wait for something in the way of official confirmation from the studio. Stay tuned.

Have you played Dr. Mario on the Game Boy before? There is just something about the Beats Pill portable wireless speaker’s design that brings me back to the monochrome goodness of the Dr. Mario puzzler, which makes sense considering the naming convention of the Beats Pill itself. It will definitely lend a new meaning to the word “take a chill pill” as you relax and soothe the day’s woes by listening to your favorite music. The Beats Pill will be accompanied by built-in patented Beats Audio, hoping to cement their position in the upmarket audio equipment market for the masses.

If you’re a guy who has plenty of testosterone at your disposal, chances are you would definitely fall in love with the Gibbs Quadski amphibious ATV, as it actually gives you a 2-in-1 solution of an ATV (All Terrain Vehicle) as well as a jet ski. Needless to say, it took the expertise of a company like Gibbs, who did create the Aquada amphibious car after all, to sell the Quadski amphibious ATV. It will not come cheap though as we are looking at a sticker price tag of $40,000, but don’t expect it to perform as well as a car as that would be comparing apples and oranges.
