Hasta La Gadget!

I do not know about you, but how many folks out there still have a penchant for firing up
Skyrim each week to get their gaming fix? Just in case you are still a regular Skyrim player, it would bode you well to know that the latest Skyrim 1.9 update is now available on the Xbox 360 console, and PS3 owners need not fret as the very same update too, will be headed to the PS3 platform in due time. Just what kind of new stuff will the Skyrim 1.9 update bring to the table?

Well, for starters, we will see the Legendary difficulty finally arrive on consoles, which would certainly bode well with hardcore gamers. What does Legendary skills do? It basically does away with the overall level cap so that you can level up infinitely. For instance, should you maximize a particular skill, you can opt to reset said skill back to the base level, while refunding your Perk points, with the assumption that one will be able to maintain the actual Perks from before.

Bethesda’s Skyrim has seen countless mods made for it in the past, ranging from the novelty, to the beautiful where the textures have been improved greatly, making the game look positively next-gen. However for the most part, the mods have left Skyrim feeling like Skyrim, just with better graphics and models, but in the case of the Tropical Skyrim mod, well, it completely turns Skyrim into a different game, at least visually. In fact to a certain extent we could have easily mistaken it for Far Cry 3 upon first glance. Basically what the mod does is that it turns Skyrim into a tropical rainforest. It also takes away some of the gloom and dark lighting into the game, turning it into a tropical paradise of sorts. The details of the mod and the download can be found here, but in the meantime if you want to check it out in action, take a look in the video above.

We’re not sure how many of you guys have heard of Tay Zonday’s Chocolate Rain, a video which can be considered to be one of YouTube’s classics. The video has since managed to garner 88 million views and it looks like Tay Zonday is back and is able to put his deep voice to great use by singing by covering the Skyrim theme song! Interestingly his deep voice goes rather well with the song and the fantasy setting of the game. In any case it’s Friday and if you’re looking for some lighthearted entertainment to end the week with, Tay Zonday’s cover of the Skyrim theme song might be it. In the meantime if you haven’t watched the Chocolate Rain video, we have attached it below the post for your viewing pleasure! What do you guys think? Should Bethesda consider hiring Tay Zonday for their future soundtrack recordings? We think he’d do a great job! (more…)

The Skyrim experience on the PS3 has been a poorer one compared to the Xbox 360 simply because it lags behind in terms of available DLCs, but all of the previous heartaches and broken promises will come to an end soon. Specifically, Sony has just announced that they will roll out all of Skyrim’s add-on content on the PlayStation Store from February onwards, where the 1.8 title update will also be released before Dragonborn is launched. Not only that, each add-on will be lighter on your wallets with a 50% discount during its launch week on PSN.

Other than Dragonborn, the other DLC made available will be Hearthfire and Dawnguard. At last, you can build your very own home and also opt to be a Vampire Lord, the possibilities are endless! I think that the gesture of offering a 50% discount on all of the other add-ons is a step in the right direction. After all, PS3 fans of the Skyrim series have waited long enough, and from our previous experience, some of them have even given up on ever seeing the other DLCs roll out.

The Skyrim Dragonborn downloadable content (DLC) which has been seen by many to be stillborn, does seem to have a fair shot at arriving on the PS3 platform sometime early next year, and this bit of information came from the folks over at Bethesda themselves. The game developer is said to be hard at work to deliver Dawnguard and Hearthfire to the PS3 platform, too. In fact, a day before the Skyrim Dragonborn DLC arrived for Xbox LIVE, Bethesda mentioned in an update on their official blog by dropping hints that the DLC’s release date for the PS3 is early next year.

Bethesda mentioned, “We’re also happy to announce Dragonborn will be available on PS3 and PC early next year.” Does this mean we could be looking at a January 2013 release date? After all, PS3 owners have waited long enough, don’t you think so, to deserve an earlier release. Ah well, all we need now is to expend our patience for a wee bit more.
