The Gamer's Way of Life

Hi! Welcome to the blog. All gamers welcome. Posts about various games, such as Skyrim, Fallout and Witcher 3; really any games I've had experience with. This used to be a strictly Skyrim blog (hence the many Skyrim posts), but is now adventuring into other games. Do enjoy!

Sharing an awesome new book

Hey guys! I know it’s been a while. Lots has happened. I graduated from gaming school recently with a master’s, and then landed a gig at a triple A game developer! Life has been moving fast, and so I had to abandon the blog to keep up. I plan to reignite it after I settle in at work.

However! I wanted to pop in because I want to support my mentor from game development school.  He wrote a book for teens/young adults, and the thing is: it’s actually a kick ass book, even for adults (hence why I’m sharing). It’s a unique, refreshing concept that hasn’t really been done before, which is what I’m always looking for in new books. He's running a promotional special for the ebook version- it's free until Friday! I'm a third of the way through and it's great so far; it’s a true page turner. Read it and leave a review for him to help out our fellow game developers :) If you're interested:

Lastly, hehe... I shall be returning soon with a new idea for some changes on the blog. Stay tuned fellow gamers.

Hey guys!!! I’m back! So, for good reason, I was gone for quite some time from the blog. But here’s the reason: I’m MAKING A VIDEO GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!! I now have about a team of almost 20 people making a cool 3D action platformer. Now that things are *quite* as crazy, I’m getting back in touch with my blog. Plus it will be awesome to show you all our progress so you can follow the game!!

[thegamerswayoflife]

Yep... However! Soon what I remember will be closer to reality. Skyrim remastered anyone?? Already preordered it! Get ready my fellow dragonborns for more mead and more knee injuries!

Common things Gamers Say

*dies* “FUCK when’s the last time I saved?”

“I wonder if I can survive that fall...”

“I’ll just go over the mountain and save time instead of following the path.”

“I don’t wanna kill you, but your armor is so shiny...” *violence commences*

*picks up junk* “I’m sure I’ll end up needing this.”

“I’ll just save, then do ___ and if shit hits the fan, I’ll just reload.”

*Presses A button as hard as humanly possible* as if this makes you go faster.

*dies 10th time in a row against boss* “FUCK THIS GAME” *throws controller*

“Wow, my character gets laid more than me.” (GTA and Witcher 3 anyone?)

“I wonder if I can glitch myself through this door.”

*Someone whoops your ass in PvP* “They must be cheating.”

Too true lol

[thegamerswayoflife]

Makes me so mad when you can just pay for all the good stuff if you’ve got money, meanwhile I’m sitting here working for the shit.

No post has ever been more true. Fallout 4 brought out the true hoarder in me, even more than Skyrim did, because all of the junk is useful if you’re into the settlement gig. A broken lamp? I want that. A empty pack of cigarettes? I need that. A broken  light bulb? I ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE THAT (it has copper...)

What's the most fun way to play skyrim for you? I'm always finding myself going back to my original choice -heavy armor, one handed, restoration magic- (yeah I know right...) and I was wondering if I was missing out on awesome stuff because that's the only way I play really. xD

Hah, I don’t think you’re alone. I have a habit of reverting back to my favorite playstyle, which is the archer assassin/thief. I have done the mage, the warrior, the thief, and all in between; but the sneaky archer always comes out as my favorite (although I will say being a mage can be damn handy). Although playing strictly as an illusionist/conjuring mage was pretty fun too, plus I had to use my brain a bit more. 

But there’s just something about sneaking into a room, and slowly picking off enemies one by one with my bow before any of them even know what’s going on. Plus the zoom in and time slow perks for the bow make archery so much fun for me, especially when targets are running. I will have to say Skyrim is the game where I’ve enjoyed using a bow the most (Far Cry primal is my second favorite). 

The only thing that gets old about that play style is the sneaking around, because naturally that style takes longer to get through dungeons and caves. Although, you can eventually get the sneak sprint roll and the perk that makes moving fast while sneaking not effect detection.

For the non gamer who wants to play skyrim: if the reason you hate fps games is because they make you feel sick (this happens to my friend), then skyrim let's you switch to third person

Yep, I should have mentioned you can switch between first and third person. I read the beginning of their question wrong and thought they were just stating they don’t like FPS and that’s why they wanted to try Skyrim.

Skyrim has a very versatile camera. You can not only switch between first and third person, but also zoom in and out as you please.
