Ok so there's a remote possibility that someone may remember when I said the horses are awful don't use them unless you move slower than a dead horker. Well I also said there may or may not be one simple exception. Shadowmere. While the horse itself only seems to move a bit faster than the average horse, Shadowmere has one slight detail that is a blast to watch. This was the first time in a while I've seen a horse charge past me up a tower to kill the guy attacking me before I even found out where he was. Shadowmere is like a dog honing in on anything that might wish you harm and as long as you aren't riding him, he will chase it down and kill it for you, towers, mountains, houses, none of these things are large enough to stop the horse once it detects an enemy. I have found this a hysterical event, especially since my horse seems to be immortal. It's great to watch it try and take on a dragon. Even better when you realize, it might win given time.
Anywho, moving past the horse there is one slight reccomendation I would like to make about the game. Do the main mission sooner rather than later. I'll be honest here, I was putting it off to do random fun things around the universe for 120 hours. So you'll understand how disappointed I was when I killed the end boss in three strikes. I spent more time walking there then I did killing it making it feel like a mini mission rather than this thing I'd been waiting on. Same thing with the whole war issue, do that pretty early on or you'll just waltz through like you own the place.
In other news while we are speaking of things that start with sky lets talk about Skylanders. Skylanders is a childs game but if you have a sense of humor and someone to play with, it's not a bad use of a couple hours. In seriousness I'm talking about 4-5 hours MAYBE for an adult to play through. I wish we'd known that before we spent the $90 but hey, it's sunk money no need to dwell. However one thing to dwell on is the fact that you can buy certain mini's for the game that come with extra levels. Granted the levels are painfully short for an adult but they did try. Of course I'm still on the bandwagon that says I'd buy more of their stupid little mini's if they released free DLC levels for the game. A level is less than ten minutes long. It won't kill them to give someone hope that they didn't waste $90 for nothing. So my advice here is if you have an easily entertained kid, get if for them, they will have a blast and then one day when they are at school take a breather and just run through it real quick. It's got an adorable plot, some silly innuendos, and it will take less time than it probably takes to clean up after the kids you bought it for.
Anywho, Corset has papers to write and professors to email. Enjoy.
Signing off.
