"The Creation Kit is not being released this week. Once we have more information on its release, we’ll let everyone know."

Well, poop!

Edit: Gstaff just posted on BGS the Creation Kit will be out in January 2012.

Pre-Launch Update

Skyrim is out in less than two days! I'm debating on going to midnight release or waiting until Friday morning. We'll see, either way Friday work is closed! Play all day!

The other news, I had surgery last month. It was unexpected. I was in the hospital for two weeks. They took out 6 inches of my large intestine and 3 inches of my small intestine. Then later developed 2 abscesses in my pelvis. Now its a little over a month later and I'm feeling a lot better. Doctors say I have a bit more healing to do over the next couple months, but I'm up and back at work. And able to play Skyrim! I count that as good news. :)

My mod Guild Benefits is still on hold. Of course I couldn't work on it while in the hospital or during my recovery. I'm going to take some time to play "you know what" before I pick it back up again. I do plan on finishing GB. Just like I plan on going back to beat Oblivion, SI, & KOTN. I had planned to do all of that in October, but my body betrayed me. Things are getting better so I'm not upset, I'm doing pretty well considering.

Also, do expect some sort of campsite type mod for Skyrim soon after I get my hands on the Creation Kit. Gotta have a home base for starting characters.

Skyrim Food Truck in Seattle for PAX 2011

The Skyrim Food Truck stopped by Seattle during PAX this last Summer. There was free food, free plush helmets, and lots of fans! I had fun waiting around with a crowd of mostly men and a few ladies (I was probably the only one there in a long skirt.) Everyone was chanting for the helmets and food. So without further ado here are my pics:

The most awesome truck ever!














The Holy Skyrim Napkin. (I have saved it in a ziplock, used my long skirt as a napkin as a proper nord lady should.)














Lunch: Dragon Leg, Whiterun Corn, a Solitude Sweetroll... and a bottled water.














Two helmets, one to wear and one to save for eternity.














Me having fun with my buddies at Gamestop. I wanted to see if they'd recognize me.














Nerd alert! Give a girl a permanent marker, a Daedric alphabet, and her online Elder Scrolls name. What do you get?

Good Day Today!

I am feeling really good today. For those of you who know me from OREF or have read some of my entries from a long while back you know that I suffer from depression. In fact I nearly left the modding community because of the depression combined with losing my Grandma (she was also my best friend) to cancer. Good days are very welcome and tend to be very productive. Lots of house work getting done, just taking a break to get some words out.

Adding to yesterday's list of stuff to do I still have some resources that are just about ready for release. I want to get Vanilla Eyes and possibly some of those resources online later this evening. After getting some more house work done of course! =P Now back to work!

Going on Vacation! See Ya!

Yeah, so I've got modder's block on how I want to set up the Arch Mage's Library. Can't seem to get inspiration right now. I know it will come to me, I just need to occupy my time with something else until it hits...

So what do I have to occupy my time?

On the modding front, a minor update to Vanilla Eyes Addon. I'm going to add Bash Tags and remove a stray esp from the textures folder, and an optional esp making SI eyes playable. And by request, since I lost the one I made previously, a compatibility patch for All In One. Probably will do this over the weekend.

On gaining some possible inspiration (that's the story, right!) I can install and play Shezrie's Towns. I've played Lakewood, Ravenview, and Woodland Villages before she added Pell's Gate. For all the love of what we do as modders I need to go to Pell's Gate! It looks awesome, the quests sound incredibly cool, and some of my own creations are used and I really want to see them in action. And lots of other modders made really great stuff for it too. So I say I'm going for inspiration, so maybe that's partially true, but really its more like taking a vacation. =D

Oh, and Disgaea: Hour of Darkness... dusted off my PS2 to finally play this game. Its a lot of fun and bound to take up hours of my time. I am the Overlord! Dood!
