Castles in the Skyrim

More stuff from VGA, with Bethesda shocking everyone by announcing Elder Scrolls V, under the title of 'Skyrim' which, as anyone who's played The Elder Scrolls should know, is the harsh and desolate homeland of the Nords. What does this mean? Vikings.
And probably snow.

And another large surprise, if we look at this here teaser.

Holy crap! Dragons!

Betcha weren't expecting that.

Brit Effect

So, that post I put out like, a month back.
Well, now the mystery has been uncovered, and the trailer was?
Mass Effect 3.
Bioware are idiots.

I mean really, Bioware, everyone was going to buy this game anyway, you only have two franchise at the moment and they're both pretty successful, you should release a mystery teaser if you're going to do something new.

Lets put aside Bioware's horrifyingly incompetent marketing department for now, anyway, and have a look at the trailer.

There appears to be some kind of futuristic British soldier guy, being all gritty and sniping some mysterious figures that vaguely resemble Geth from a window, he talks about how we're pretty much doomed if Shepard doesn't get a move on and, lo and behold, he's in London.

Which apparently hasn't changed a bit in the last 200 years.

So I suppose this means we finally get to go to Earth, and perhaps even to England, under it's new National Trust rule, if the look of the trailer is to be believed.

Will we be charged ten credits to get in?
