The talented 
, who I follow, did one. I normally despise these, but it's Skyrim. Everyone loves Skyrim.

Tell us a little bit about your Dragonborn. Who they are, what race they are, you know, the basic stuff.
Name: Vunjar
Age: 31
Race: Nord
Birthplace: Imperial City, Cyrodiil
Weapon of Choice: Daedric Battleaxe
Deity of Choice: Akatosh, formerly Talos (converted after doing research into the nature of the Dragonborn)
Standing Stone: Lord Stone
Follower of Choice: Serana
What type of person are they? Will they help the helpless, or will they stab someone in the back after getting paid?
He'll help out where he can, but expects compensation for larger jobs. Growing up with stories of the heroes of the late Third Era, he always wanted to be an adventurer. He left his parents' farm at age 19 and explored Cyrodiil for several years before turning his attention to Skyrim, his mother's homeland. He had planned to explore High Rock (his father's native land) after Skyrim and then return to Cyrodiil to settle down, but ended up staying in Skyrim to pursue his destiny as Dovahkiin.
Where does your Dragonborn live? Have they got a nice little house in Whiterun, or the ridiculously expensive manor in Solitude?
He owns land in most of the major cities, but operates out of Whiterun due to its central location.
Does your Dragonborn make their own equipment (weapons/armour/potions/enchantments) or are they utterly lazy and keep looting everything they use?
His mother is a competent smith and his father is a skilled enchanter. He designs, forges, and enchants all of his equipment, and never settles for anything less than the best. He's very proud of the fact that he forged his first suit of armor at the age of 15, and even prouder that his studies at the College of Winterhold granted him the skill to simultaneously put two enchantments on a single item.
Did your Dragonborn get married and who was the lucky person? And how did they find married life?
He's completely smitten with Serana, but worries about the implications of entering a relationship with a vampire. That is, if he can convince her to marry him.
Do you have any favourite Shouts? And any favourite moments using a Shout?
While generally a good guy, he occasionally indulges his crueler, draconic nature and uses Fire Breath to raze a bandit camp.
It happened to us all, the Dragonborn got an early ticket to Sovengarde. So what's the dumbest way you got yours killed?
Tripped over the edge of a tower while trying to shoot a dragon.
Almost done. Did you join any groups? Or did you just run around doing your own thing?
He joined the College of Winterhold, the Companions, the Dawnguard, and very nearly the Volkihar Court.
Imperial or Stormcloaks? Your thoughts?
He wanted to stay out of it, but joined the Imperial Army after gaining access to the Thalmor's files on Ulfric. As much as he disliked the Empire caving to the Aldmeri Dominion's demands, he likes the Thalmor even less. Ulfric's secret ties to them was the final nail in the coffin.

Friendship Is Magic is One Year Old!
2 min read
On the off chance that any of my watchers are fellow bronies...
First off,
.
Secondly, today, October 10, 2011, marks the first anniversary of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. If your experience was anything like mine, you probably turned your nose up at it, dismissed it as a show for little girls, and put it out of your mind.
But the internet wouldn't let it stay there.
It kept popping up. My Little Brony on Memebase, Equestria Daily, DerpyHooves.com, and countless others. One by one, your friends started watching it. And you couldn't understand what all the fuss was. Until one day, you were bored and thought, "Eh, what the hell." You looked it up on YouTube.
And you were hooked.
Whether it was a 10-hour marathon to catch up or waiting for each episode, the show captivated you, and you joined the herd. Now, Season 2 is upon us, and the future looks bright. Here's to another year of ponies!
And if you're not a brony...
MLP:FiM was created by someone with some serious talent: Lauren Faust (AKA
). If you haven't heard of her, you've heard of her shows: The Powerpuff Girls, Codename: Kids Next Door, and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. If you liked any of those, chances are you'll like this too.
Here's the link to Episode 1, Season 1. www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6sUJR…

I came, I saw, I played
2 min read
I went to this year's E3, and I had a mixed reaction. I tried Assassin's Creed Revelations, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Gears of War 3, Minecraft on a phone, and a few others. The juggernaut I wanted to play, however, was Mass Effect 3. I say "wanted to" because it was a closed demo, and only press and retailers could play it. That pretty much ruined my day. Still, it must've been good, because it won FORTY-TWO awards. Yes, I counted. And to give you and idea of how many that is, most games won two or three.
The place was huge. As soon as I walked through the doors, EA's megabooth pretty much punched me in the face. It was really, really big. Big enough that I could fit my house in there. They had some weird lighting, though- it was all a cool blue; made it impossible to get a decent picture. There was a lot to look at, from FIFA 12, to Star Wars: The Old Republic, to Kingdoms of Amalur, and tucked away in a corner was the award-covered door that led to ME3's private demo room.
After that was everything else: Sega, Disney, Activision, Ubisoft, and so on. Nintendo must've been in a different building, because I didn't see it.

I am good people

Patrick Weekes, a writer for Mass Effect, acknowledged me.
Here's what happened:
He and someone else were discussing the "Drop the thermal clips" option in the Shadow Broker DLC. Apparently he put a lot of effort into that scene, but everyone just used the persuade option and threw the table at Vasir. I replayed it and dropped the clips, then Twittered it to him. He called me "good people", and it made my day.
So yeah, that about it.
