The Xbox 720 will reportedly be six times more powerful than the Xbox 360 (Xbox 2160?) and feature a processor based on the Radeon 600 series.

Am I the only one disappointed by the prospect of playing on a 2013 gaming system that has the graphical power of a 2011 gaming card?

Don’t believe me?  Check out this awesome trailer!

We’ll be sure to hit you guys with lots of cool contests and updates throughout the year! Stay tuned!!

Seven epic games. We’re ready to drop seven new cross-platform, DRM-free games down your digital chimney. Bandage your fingertips and prepare your mind for the challenges of Super Meat Boy, Shank, Jamestown, Bit.Trip Runner, and NightSky. If you pay more than the average price, you’ll also get two massive, well-loved indie favorites: Cave Story+ and Gratuitous Space Battles.

Pay what you want. If you bought these games separately, it would cost around $100, but we are letting you set the price.

The games work great on Mac, Windows, and Linux (system requirements here). Please note that this is the initial release of seven Linux builds, so please be patient while we fix 1.0 issues as fast as we can.

You can support charity. Choose exactly how your purchase is divided: between the developers, the Child’s Play Charity, or the American Red Cross. Also, if you like this deal, a tip to Humble Bundle would be much appreciated!

As engrossing as Skyrim is, many of my fellow gamers have encountered bugs. Big deal, right? Bethesda’s games ALWAYS have bugs. They’re like little Easter Eggs of masochism.

Thankfully, however, Bethesda is patching up the game to fix some of the more annoying, game breaking and uglifying ones. Skyrim Patch 1.2 details were recently released on the Bethesda Blog:

UPDATE 1.2 NOTES (all platforms unless specified)

• Improved occasional performance issues resulting from long term play (PlayStation 3)
• Fixed issue where textures would not properly upgrade when installed to drive (Xbox 360)
• Fixed crash on startup when audio is set to sample rate other than 44100Hz (PC)
• Fixed issue where projectiles did not properly fade away
• Fixed occasional issue where a guest would arrive to the player’s wedding dead
• Dragon corpses now clean up properly
• Fixed rare issue where dragons would not attack
• Fixed rare NPC sleeping animation bug
• Fixed rare issue with dead corpses being cleared up prematurely
• Skeleton Key will now work properly if player has no lockpicks in their inventory
• Fixed rare issue with renaming enchanted weapons and armor
• Fixed rare issue with dragons not properly giving souls after death
• ESC button can now be used to exit menus (PC)
• Fixed occasional mouse sensitivity issues (PC)
• General functionality fixes related to remapping buttons and controls (PC)

Bethesda also mentioned that it would continue listening to gamers on forums, blogs, and other venues to improve the game’s performance.

So let your voice be heard if you notice a mammoth falling from the sky! (And no, it wasn’t the imaginary result of a 17 hour play session . . . )

Has anyone beaten Skyrim yet? Is there even an “end” to this fantastic game?

Much thanks goes to PCGamer for compiling this list of Skyrim tweaks and fixes from around the web.

Disable mouse smoothing
Go to your Steam Directory, then steamapps, common, skyrim and select Skyrim again. Create a backup of the SkyrimPrefs.ini file. Open the file, then scroll down to where it says [Controls] and find bMouseAcceleration=1. Change to bMouseAcceleration=0. Save, exit, and play This fix and the two below are from Skyrim Reddit, and are credited to “Dead man posting” on the Something Awful Forums.

Change field of view
Head to My Documents, select My Games, select Skyrim and then Skyrim again, then create a backup of the skyrim.ini file. Scroll down to [General] in the file and add fdefaultfov=XX (where XX is the field of view you want). Then save and exit.

Fix common crash to desktop problem
Access the Sound menu from the Control panel. In the playback tab, right click on speakers and select properties. Select the advanced tab on the new screen and select 24 bit, 44100Hz (Studio Quality) from the drop down menu. This fixed crashes for Owen last night.

Disable Vsync
Access the SkyrimPrefs.ini again and add iPresentInterval=0 to the bottom of the [Display] section. This can improve a sluggish framerate and eliminate instances of mouse lag. Thanks to Tweak Guides for this one.

Graphical tweaks
Curate on the Bethesda forums has highlighted a number of interesting variables in the SkyrimPrefs.ini file. Change the digit at the end of each line to 1 to turn the feature on, 0 to turn it off. Don’t forget to create a backup of the SkyrimPrefs.ini file just in case.

Interesting variables are as follows, in order of appearance in the .ini and showing their default settings.
bDoDepthOfField=1
bTreesReceiveShadows=0
bDrawLandShadows=0
bShowFloatingQuestMarkers=1
bShowQuestMarkers=1
bShowCompass=1
bMouseAcceleration=1
fAutosaveEveryXMins=15.0000

Redditor Ryz also suggests changing iWaterReflectHeight=512 and iWaterReflectWidth=512 to 1024 and adding the following text to the SkyrimPrefs.ini to improve the quality of water reflections.

bUseWaterReflectionBlur=1
bReflectExplosions=1
iWaterBlurAmount=4
bAutoWaterSilhouetteReflections=0
bForceHighDetailReflections=1

Well, Bethesda is asking for our patience in fixing some of the problems gamers are having with the game. According to GameInformer, Peter Hines of Bethesda has been communicating with gamers over Twitter, assuring them that they are working on ironing out problems such as the Xbox 360 texture issue.

“We will fix as much as we can for your platform,” Hines added. “I don’t know if it will fix ‘your’ bug. Takes a while to test/fix/regress. Hang in there.”

I’ve poured in quite a few hours into Skyrim since it was released, and the only glitch I’ve run across was a wooly mammoth falling from the sky. Skyrim is by far the most polished Bethesda game to come out yet (Anyone remember the game breaking bugs in Knights of the Old Republic? Yeah . . . ).
