I finally feel like I am at a point where I can say I’ve adequately played through the majority of Skyrim and present a true idea as to its good points and bad.  As you can probably tell by the title of this post, there are far more of the good.  Skyrim represents true value [...]

Certainly by now you’ve read a review of Skyrim, the latest Elder Scrolls iteration to grace our boring Earth (unlike the always-interesting Tamriel).  The last thing you need from me is to write yet another account of how great the game is; you know it’s great, even if you haven’t played it.  Instead I want [...]

Ten years have come and gone since the clunkiest, heaviest, and most unexpectedly-awesome console of all time arrived on store shelves.  The Microsoft and their DirectX Box has seen many different shades of emotion from this gamer.  First there was unabashed hatred for the machine as I, at the time, was a FLAMING Nintendo fanboy.  [...]

Even I got bored with my fantasy football weekly updates.  To put it kindly, I’m doing pretty good in one league and borderline terrible in the other–there’s your update. Still, things are afoot at GameDrunk HQ.  I finally got Skyrim in, no thanks to Amazon or UPS.  Pre-ordered through the world’s largest online retailer with [...]

A month and one day is all that stands between the real world of Earth and the return to the fantasy world of Tamriel.  Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will be released 11/11/11, and in preparation, Bethesda has been good enough to provide a few screenshots.  Initial thoughts on each pic as follows: First, the map, [...]

The fine folks at G4 interviewed Bethesda’s Todd Howard about the awe-striking Skyrim, the next chapter of The Elder Scrolls series. As you can see from watching through this 14 minutes of gameplay, your life will become null and void come November 11, 2011.  I can’t describe how excited I am for this game…

I’m sure you’ve already seen the wondrous previews of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which was previewed to the lucky bastards who have successful video game websites a few weeks ago.  As a huge fan of Oblivion, I eagerly await this juggernaut to claim all free-time come November 11.  It seems, though, that Tamriel’s grasp on [...]

Everybody else does an awards story for their site, and hey, we’re conformists!  Presenting to you the first annual Guilded Cask Awards.

Your console of choice just got a whole lot sweeter!  Now available on Netflix’ Instant Queue is the full series of the re-imagined SyFy original, Battlestar Galactica, possibly the greatest TV drama ever.  When my obsession first hit a year and a half ago, I would have killed another human being to have the entirety [...]

“If They Came to Hear Me Beg” will go down as one of the stupidest gaming achievements in all my video gaming experiences past, present, and future.  This one goes in the Hall of Shame immediately, an imperfect, yet impossible-to-relinquish achievement that takes place in Mission 10 of Halo: Reach titled “The Pillar of Autumn.”  [...]

Halo: Reach can come at any time, now.  I’ve spent the last month prepping myself by playing through all the Halo games in the franchise, from Combat Evolved through Halo 3 along with ODST and Halo Wars.  I’ve killed Sangheili and Kig-Yar, Jiralhanae and Unggoy (Elites, Jackals, Brutes, and Grunts, respectively), all without remorse.  I’ve [...]

I picked up ODST when it first came out and played through it. It was very different not running around as Master Chief, a move I was skeptical of at first. After playing through the solo quest, my concerns were quickly turned on their head. This game was special, a testament to how strong the [...]

I’ve seen a story floating around the interwebs about a patch BioWare has released for Mass Effect 2 in regards to the mineral collection mini-game.  Now featured: a larger, faster reticule allowing for more efficient resource scavenging. According to the BioWare Social Network (original post found here), the patch updates/improves the following: Scanning for minerals [...]
