Had a cool moment thanks to my soundtrack tweaks today. I pop in the winking skeever to drop off some "illicit" goods to the Argonian, and "L'Chaim" starts playing. Totally awesome, totally appropriate.
In case you are poor and uneducated as to the song in question:

I love that song... I get a good giggle on The Big Bang Theory when Penny makes Sheldon's Diet Virgin Cuba Libre "turn out to be kinda slutty" and he gets drunk and plays the piano, singing this song wildly, in The Cheesecake Factory! Hilarious... And Sheldon is actually a pretty good singer...

This was the newest thread in which it seemed right to brag about my victory in the steam sale.
I got: Alpha Protocol Bioshock Infinite (shut up, haters) Lego Star Wars Saga Lego Harry Potter Saga (I like Legos!) Skyrim: Dragonborn Skyrim: Hearthfire To the Moon

Oh, no. It has begun.
I'm going to control myself this year, I swear it! I'll just get the games I've been wanting and that's it. Every year I buy too many games and then I never play them all.

Might be hard for me to stay clear as I may actually have money this year...very much unlike last year.

If I were a PC gamer (Star Trek Online, Civilization, and Chess Master aside), I'd be all over that sale.

So I'm in over my head in Skyrim (no surprise) when I manage to get out of the mosh pit of mooks that have been boot-stomping me and I notice they're standing in a rather large pool of oil. A quick shot from the flames spell and my problem has resolved itself nicely. As a bonus, I wound up scoring some pretty awesome loot to include 3 enchanted weapons (one glass, one dwarven, and one ebony), some expensive-ass potions, and a nice haul of valuables for me to sell when I get back into town.

I've already betrayed myself. In a fit of drunkeness I purchased the new Serious Sam and Orcs Must Die 2. (Of which I accidentally went with the two pack option.) Damn it. Curse you, phone. Curse you, alcohol!

So I'm screwing around (in Skyrim) and I take a random bow shot at the side of a mountain. The camera cuts to a slow-mo kill sequence where I smoke a bear right between the eyes as it's fighting a random Nord. I'd like to call that one skill, but I'd be full of shit.

The camera cuts to a slow-mo kill sequence where I smoke a bear right between the eyes as it's fighting a random Nord. I'd like to call that one skill, but I'd be full of shit. I love it! The mental image that popped up in my head reading that made me laugh... As for my own epic moment, I had one last night - sort of... I was doing a random Bounty Quest for some Jarl somewhere, with the order to kill a certain dragon at a certain location. So I show up, and there's two dragons... only, I did not know yet when I loaded my enchanted bow (Shock Damage) with a rather strong poison I'd brewed, and shot the dragon the quest arrow was pointing at. That particular dragon lifted off and flew away, behind a mountain, while a second dragon attacked me (maybe it was pissed that I attacked its mate?). Anyway, after dispatching the second dragon, I went in search of the first dragon - I could see the little red dots in the compass line at the top of the screen, there were three, and they were kind of swarming over each other... and the dragon's Health Meter was steadily dropping. I'd thought this meant there were other dragons, and that the dragon I'd shot was actually affected rather strongly by my poison, only to get to the other side of the cliff and see the dragon already dead - with a dead snowy saber cat beside it... and a weakened troll... which then attacked me, and died as soon as I shot it, since it was so weakened by its fight with my dragon. I was flabbergasted at the turn of events here.

More Skyrim antics. Random dragon overhead, but it doesn't want to play. So I try to get its attention by shouting at it. It flies off over the Throat of the World, tail tucked between its legs. XD

XD Awesome! Though I have to admit - usually when I hear a dragon overhead, it means it wants to kill me... ** Not sure if this moment of mine counts as an "Epic Moment" or not, but... I somehow managed to make a bunch of high-powered poisons through Alchemy (I can't for the life of me remember what ingredients I used that resulted in poisons with 1150 to 1200 points of damage in one dose, but whatever...) and I dosed my Nightengale Bow with it when I was stalking Mercer Frey with Brynjolf and Karliah following me. We got to Mercer's location, and a Cutscene starts where he taunts Karliah and mocks her and says we can never beat him - and then the cutscene ends, I fire my bow, and he dies instantly. I was glad I didn't have to fight him in earnest, but... it was mildly anti-climactic to see him go down in one hit after all his boasting.
