The Iceman's Game Journal

After seeing Tim's Game Diary, I started this blog to give me some incentive to actually finish some of the 461+ video games I have (of which I have finished 41.) Hope it works.

well, I'm an idiot.

First, I couldn't figure out why the 360 couldn't connect to the net or the laptop last night. I checked the network hub and it was working. I checked the cord going into the 360 and it was fine. I couldn't figure it out.

This morning I remembered that I had removed the network cable from the laptop. Since the connection goes from the laptop to the hub, that would explain it.

Idiot point #1


Then I fired up the 360, knowing that the Facebook/Twitter/Last.FM/Zune update was supposed to be today. for some reason it didn't update! This is supposed to be a mandatory update, so why wasn't it updating? Was there a problem and it was taken off line or something? Was it coming out tomorrow and I was a day ahead of myself again?

Then I remembered that I got into the preview about 3 weeks ago, so I've had the update for about 3 weeks ago.

Idiot point #2.

Wonder how many more I'll rack up by the end of the day.

Go Fish--Oblivion

On the way to Chorrol, I met a man who asked me to get 12 Rumare Slaughterfish. it took a couple of days but I got it. And I got the Jewel of Rumare, which gives +4 to Athletics and Water Breathing.

Unfriendly Cometition--Oblivion

While selling some stuff, I ended up getting a couple quests. It seems that one of the local merchants, Thoronir, is selling his goods much lower then the others, and they want to know why> I followed him to a meeting with a guy named Agarmir. I started following him, and broke into his house, looking for evidence. Seems Agamir has been robbing graves and selling what he finds to Thoronir. I followed him to a grave, but it was a trap. He and a goon attacked me, but I took care of them no problem. Thoronir felt horrible, gave all the leftover inventory and the money he made to the temple, and agreed to sell at competitive prices like everyone else.

I got 100g and the Weatherward Circlet. The circlet gives Resist 10% to Frost and Fire. Not the best haul, but not bad.

Escape The Sewers--Oblivion

It seems that someone wants to kill Captain Picard...I mean the king. and his escape route is a secret escape route is right through my jail cell!

yeah, I have no idea why I am in jail. hopefully that will be explained eventually.

I followed the king and a few guards. They fought a few assassins and one was killed, giving me some armor and a sword. I joined in the fight and we were cornered. The king was killed but he gave me the Amulet Of Kings before he dies, saying to take it to Jauffre. Looks like I am going to Chorrol. But first I'm going to have to explore Imperial City to sell some stuff.
