Skyrim is a massive game. With 40 hours invested so far, I’ve only touched a fraction of the content and I’m so excited to see what else there is. However, the idea of expansions, while awesome, is quite frightening. In regards to possible expansions, it seems a particularly adventurous Tumblr user has made quite the discovery. It seems Bethesda has painstakingly crafted a good deal more landmass than was necessary for their latest time sink....

Final Fantasy IX on mobile is causing memories to flood back to me (and the port’s mostly good)

I figured that the mobile release oniOS and Google Playwould give me a chance to see why I never quite got on withIXlike I did the others....
