The only gaming related gift I received for Christmas was Skyrim, which is all I really wanted anyway. So once I got home, I decided to install it, so I could play for a couple of hours, or maybe six... This is where the frustration begins, because to install the stupid game you have to have a Steam account. So I registered for the account, and tried to log in, but it wouldn't let me log in. I could enter the password, but nothing happened. The log in screen did nothing, and I got the "Steam is not responding", message. UGH!
I know ( despite some problems ) that I managed to create the Steam account. I just can't log in!!! And if I can't log in, I can't install the game! If I can't install the game, I CAN'T PLAY THE GAME!!! Frustrating...
I'm really disappointed in Bethesda Softworks. Why couldn't Skyrim be like all the previous releases, and be installed just from the freaking disk??? Why create so many problems? I've had no luck finding a solution to this problem online, but I have sent a query to Steam Support. Hopefully, they can help with this problem.
Of course while I tried searching for a solution to the problem...
Aside from that, it was a good Christmas, albeit a bit subdued. The day was spent with my mom, brother, and his girlfriend, and a friend of hers that's been staying with them. After dinner and gifts, we watched Sherlock Holmes. Of course my brother and I were slightly disappointed he didn't get Zombieland from his gf. Her opinion was that it was a stupid movie. I said, "It's not a movie, it's a training film..." She just kind of rolled her eyes, and shook her head. My brother agreed with me, and said it would help him defend her from zombies. I tried to tell her about how the Soviets had created bioweapons that could turn people into "violent zombies", but she wasn't buying our arguments.
I hope everyone had a great holiday. I really wanted to post about my first experiences playing Skyrim, but that just didn't work out. Hopefully, I can eventually get the game installed. Until then... I'm going to be in a bad mood. Gggrrrrr.... aaarrrggghhhh...

XBox 360. There's no reason to get PC unless you're a mod'ing type of person. I've been playing the XBox version since Thanksgiving and ILOVEIT! Been writing about it on G+.
ReplyDeleteThat would be great... if I had an XBox 360. I don't plan on getting one just to play Skyrim. Modding does have it's uses. When I played Oblivion, a huge fight broke out in one of the cities, and a shop keeper was killed. It was the one shop where you could buy the stuff for that cities house. UGH. So I downloaded the program to make mods, and I created a twin brother for her. He "took over" the shop. Then I could buy stuff for the house. Who wants to stay in an empty house?
