Difficulty: Master. Permanent death (on death, this let's play is over).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Can a Breton goods peddler find his inner hero, his destiny, or will he die trying?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLD306A7CBFF7373EC&amp;amp;hl=en_US" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To watch this on YouTube (HD 1080p),&lt;br /&gt;
click here: &lt;a href="http://goo.gl/U0FE2"&gt;Let's Role-Play Skyrim&lt;/a&gt; (The Elder Scrolls V).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Yngvarr&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Yngvarr&lt;/i&gt; is an average chap. Not a hero by any means, unless picking flowers or buying and selling goods makes a man heroic. He is a Breton goods peddler and a recreational alchemist who, before arriving in Skyrim, isn't aware of all the powers hidden within him.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;His father was a Nord caravan guard and mother is a Breton healer. Yngvarr was born in Elinhir, a town in Hammerfell, but he never really had a place he or his family called home, as he became a travelling merchant like his parents were.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yngvarr came to Skyrim looking for an adventure, for a new beginning for his life, but he barely made it past the mountains when he ran to an ambush by the Imperial forces and was knocked out before he had the chance to talk.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcSdJaX2d_4&amp;list=PLD306A7CBFF7373EC&amp;index=1"&gt;Let's Role-Play Skyrim Part 1 - Introduction and Character Creation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;About this let's play&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is more "serious" role-play than most other let's plays. I also play with a slow-paced style that is not for everyone.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yngvarr needs to sleep, drink and eat, and he can't be running all the time. Unless there's specific reason to run and sprint, Yngvarr will walk, like a normal person would. Yngvarr can't reload the last save if things don't go his way, so if he dies, he dies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm recording and uploading all videos in Full HD 1080p (1920x1080).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Mods and Tweaks&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm using several graphical enhancements mods and HD textures that enhance the looks of the game while staying true to Bethesda's designs and Elder Scrolls lore and keeping the game playable as I'm recording in 1080p.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I've enhanced the looks of Skyrim using &lt;a href="http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11"&gt;STEP - Skyrim Total Enhancement Project&lt;/a&gt; as a guideline (compilation of many, many mods, mostly HD Textures, but also other graphical tweaks).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Also, I'm using &lt;a href="http://www.skyrimnexus.com/content/modmanager/"&gt;Nexus Mod Manager&lt;/a&gt; to install and update all the mods, you should too. (or use &lt;a href="www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1840"&gt;Wrye Bash&lt;/a&gt; if you want hardcore)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have a Google Doc up where I list all the mods I'm using here: &lt;a href="http://goo.gl/MZtq9"&gt;http://goo.gl/MZtq9&lt;/a&gt;. It's not a guide, just a list of mods I'm using. I won't answer ANY QUESTIONS about how to install mods, how to fix if Skyrim crashes, etc.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Another NOTE: Overmodding your Skyrim will make it more and more likely to crash. Know your computers and graphics cards limits before tweaking the graphics settings and adding HD textures and such. In case you're interested, &lt;a href="http://zemalf.blogspot.com/p/faq.html#rig"&gt;my rig&lt;/a&gt; is i7-2600K (Overclocked @4.5Ghz), SSD drive and Nvidia GTX 590 (3GB) as listed in my &lt;a href="http://zemalf.blogspot.com/p/faq.html"&gt;FAQ&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;What Are People Saying? (Comments from the videos)&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Leave a comment in any video of this let's play and tell me what you think of it, and I might add your comment here :)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;"I like a real roleplaying lets play"&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;"How can you take this silly game﻿ so seriously!" - one of my favorite comments :)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;"i love this roleplaying instead of every 1 is full armored and killing dragons﻿ ur playing it for real i LOVE IT"&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This post and the video below shows a Skyrim archery tweak making bow and arrows work much more realistically and intuitively. Tweak makes arrows fly thru the crosshair and then fall (as in Oblivion and most other games), and not over the crosshair like it does by default, and make the archery feel a lot more like real archery.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As far as I know, this tweak is safe (doesn't break save games) and you can "uninstall" by removing the lines you add, and arrows behave as by default again.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;By default, bow is automatically tilted up and arrows fly over the crosshair, making the bow to work a bit like gun (you hit where you aim). This is usually fine, especially in close distances, but if you want to "snipe" from a distance, it comes really hard to figure out where to aim.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Plus, &lt;b&gt;I think it's just better that the archery works more the way it works in other games and in real life&lt;/b&gt; - Thus, I like really liked how this tweak changed how archery works.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Skyrim.ini Edit&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1) Find Skyrim.ini (not SkyrimPrefs.ini), which is located in 'My Documents/My Games/Skyrim' after running Skyrim once.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;2) Backup Skyrim.ini before editing (take a copy of it).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;3) Add to &lt;i&gt;Skyrim.ini&lt;/i&gt; (or edit the lines are already there) [1]:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;code&gt;
[Combat]&lt;br /&gt;
fMagnetismStrafeHeadingMult=0.0&lt;br /&gt;
fMagnetismLookingMult=0.0&lt;br /&gt;
f1PArrowTiltUpAngle=0.7&lt;br /&gt;
f3PArrowTiltUpAngle=0.7&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4) And if you want the arrows to fly really far (not in use on the video), add this to Skyrim.ini as well [2]:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;code&gt;
[Actor]&lt;br /&gt;
fVisibleNavmeshMoveDist=12288.0000&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because of gravity physics, arrows fall as they fly, this tweak doesn't change that.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As a result, with the tweak arrows behave more intuitively and you can compensate longer distances by aiming higher without guessing how high the arrow will fire - and on shorter distances, hit exactly where you aim.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here's a video I made showing how the archery works by default (0:00) and how it changes and works after the tweak (3:35 onwards):&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I couldn't find who came up with the tweak first to give proper credit, but I found it from Bethesda Forums when the &lt;a href="http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/topic/1269030-tweaking-arrows-to-behave-more-like-oblivion/page__view__findpost__p__19310839"&gt;tweak was posted by spookyfx.com&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;As soon as the battle begins, throw a EMP granade on Barrett (if you have one)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Strafe/turn right, grab one of the gas canisters on the right&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Throw the gas canister on Barrett&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Run to the left or straight down the right side, grab the explosive barrel, throw it on Barrett&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;grab next &lt;b&gt;gas canister&lt;/b&gt; or one of the &lt;b&gt;fire&amp;nbsp;extinguishers&lt;/b&gt;, throw it at him&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;run to another &lt;b&gt;explosive barrel&lt;/b&gt;, grab it, aim, throw it on Barrett&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;repeat 5-6&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;(if you run out of things to throw, Barrett should be damaged enough for you to finish him with any gun)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
See the video below for visuals...&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Video Walkthrough of the Barrett Fight&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here's quick video showing how to defeat Lawrence Barrett, elite member of a secret mercenary hit squad, and get The Bull achievement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I used over 45 minutes on the first boss battle of Deus Ex Human Revolution, trying to win the fight with guns, which I hadn't used at all before that as I was playing "stealthily", avoiding enemies by sneaking past them, or taking them down without killing them...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, after almost an hour I had to give up and I looked for help on how to win Barrett. I found an easy way, which got the job done (even that it was a bit "boring" way to win the fight), but at least I was able to continue this awesome game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And here's a video I made to show you how to do the same...&lt;br /&gt;

If I'm not eaten myself first by the bad things that come out at night...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Let's Play Minecraft Survivalism Mod&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;"Extreme" &lt;a href="http://www.minecraft.net/"&gt;Minecraft&lt;/a&gt; survival with survivalism mod (need to eat, drink and rest), hard difficulty, one life and hardcore mode (save file is deleted when out of lives). The playlist features long videos, all in HD 720p.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is my let's play Minecraft Survivalism mod on hard difficulty, just one life and hardcore mode (save file is deleted when out of lives).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &lt;a href="http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/349163-173ssp-survivalism-v145/"&gt;survivalism mod&lt;/a&gt; adds energy, thirst and hunger meters to the game, forcing me to drink, eat and rest regularly in addition to the normal Minecraft survival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Update: This let's play was first pending and then, after waiting for months, cancelled as the &lt;a href="http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/349163-173ssp-survivalism-v145"&gt;survivalism mod&lt;/a&gt; wasn't updated after Minecraft BETA 1.7.3 version. Feel free to enjoy the episodes that are there, but it ends after 4 episodes, with 5th being "the end".&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;How to add the save-files into Minecraft&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The zip-files have been created as a backup with &lt;a href="http://minecraftbackup.codeplex.com/"&gt;Minecraft Backup Assistant&lt;/a&gt;. If you're using that, you can throw the zip-file into your backup folder and "restore" the world with the Minecraft Backup Assistant like it was your own backup.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or you can manually unzip the contents of the zip into a new folder (e.g. 'World1' or 'Zemalf's World' or anything you want) in your Minecraft save folder.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;The Witcher 2 Signs &amp; Magic&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In The Witcher 2, Geralt has the knowledge of signs from the beginning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Aard&lt;/b&gt; – a telekinetic wave that can throw back, knock down or stun an opponent. This sign can also be used to destroy obstacles, for example crumbling walls or stacks of barrels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Igni&lt;/b&gt; – fire magic, throws flames that wound opponents &amp; make gas (from bombs) explode. Upgraded Igni sign has a chance of incinerating opponents and also has a larger area of effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Yrden&lt;/b&gt; – a magical trap placed on the ground (wounds &amp; immobilizes opponents when triggered). The sign's basic level allows you to place 1 yrden sign on the ground (With upgrade, up to 3 yrden signs at a time).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Quen&lt;/b&gt; – a protective shield that lasts for 30 seconds at the sign's basic level. It is a sign that Geralt uses on himself – quen absorbs all damage directed at Geralt, and the upgraded version reflects 50% of the damage back toward to enemy. While quen is in effect, Geralt cannot regenerate vigor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Axii&lt;/b&gt; – charm an opponent. When the charm is successful, the enemy becomes an ally for a short while, fighting for you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Heliotrop&lt;/b&gt; – not available immediately, needs points in the magic skill tree. The Heliotrop Sign creates a temporary immobile circular force-field area around Geralt, which considerably slows down everything inside the field except himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Clawer&lt;/b&gt; - Wounds and causes bleeding. Damage: 30 – 55&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Rage&lt;/b&gt; - Causes foes to attack each other.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Conflagration&lt;/b&gt; - Incinerates foes and detonates other traps within range. Damage: 20 – 50&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Snare&lt;/b&gt; - Wounds and causes bleeding. Damage: 30 – 50&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The videos on this playlist are among the longest Minecraft videos in YouTube (the length of them doesn't make'em "good" or anything, it just is). There's no editing, there's no fast forward, everything is shown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I hope you enjoy it, and if you don't, just don't watch it, that's cool too.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
As it is &lt;b&gt;blind let's play&lt;/b&gt;, I haven't played the game before and I don't know what to expect. This isn't the "optimal" walk-through of the game - just me taking the role of Geralt and playing the game, experiencing the story for the first time. It's slow-paced as I like to take my time through things and enjoy the game to the fullest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;About The Witcher&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.thewitcher.com/"&gt;The Witcher&lt;/a&gt; is a RPG for the PC developed by CD Projekt RED STUDIO and published by CD Projekt in Poland and Atari for the rest of the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The game was released in Europe and North America in October 2007. The Enhanced Edition was released on September 2008 and the Director's Cut in July 2009.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Enhanced Edition&lt;/i&gt; basically overhauled the whole game, adding new animations and models, new expanded dialogue, bug fixes, etc. The&lt;i&gt; Director's Cut&lt;/i&gt; is the same as the Enhanced Edition, but with &lt;b&gt;all censorship removed&lt;/b&gt;, which was originally applied to the North American version.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Witcher_(video_game)"&gt;The Witcher game&lt;/a&gt; is based on a series of fantasy short stories (collected in two books, except for two stories) and five novels about the witcher Geralt of Rivia by a polish fantasy writer, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrzej_Sapkowski"&gt;Andrzej Sapkowski&lt;/a&gt;. (source: &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Witcher"&gt;Wikipedia - The Witcher&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Game is available via &lt;a href="http://store.steampowered.com/"&gt;Steam&lt;/a&gt;, at &lt;a href="http://www.gog.com/en/frontpage/"&gt;GoG.com&lt;/a&gt; and other online stores like Amazon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sequel, &lt;a target="_blank"  href="http://www.amazon.com/Witcher-2-Assassins-Kings-Pc/dp/B003VJNPPE?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=zemalf-20&amp;link_code=btl&amp;camp=213689&amp;creative=392969"&gt;The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=zemalf-20&amp;l=btl&amp;camp=213689&amp;creative=392969&amp;o=1&amp;a=B003VJNPPE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important; padding: 0px !important" /&gt; was released in May 2011. I will let's play the Witcher 2, using the imported save file from The Witcher when I finish the first part. This will not only import the character, but also carries over the choices I've made along the way.&lt;br /&gt;

In this post, you learn example price ranges and thresholds (to buy under X, to sell over Y) for the most profitable goods. You also learn an example trade route that goes around all Calradia in Warband.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(All information is for the game without any mods, as mods might change the trade/economy/map in the game)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can learn all this info in game, by doing trading, using the asses good deals option in the marketplace of the towns, talking to the guild master about trade and production of the different cities, so consider the information below &lt;b&gt;SPOILERS&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, there are a lot of trading opportunities in the game I do not list here, because these are the ones I've found working for me. Feel free to experiment and take on the opportunities you see :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Note: I didn't come up with any of this (although I have "tested" all of this in-game). The hard work has been done by the awesome people and gamers at the &lt;a href="http://forums.taleworlds.com/"&gt;Taleworlds Forums&lt;/a&gt;. I just put it here on my blog as it's sometimes hard to find stuff from forums.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;General Tips&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Travel fast:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;give riding skill and horses to all companions,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;invest in pathfinding skill (e.g. increase the skill with one companion and have two points on your own),&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;prefer cavalry over infantry (for trading journeys),&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;keep the army size small (but high enough to "scare" bandits away),&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;keep the morale of the army high,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;have 6 horses in your inventory (as "pack" horses) - the cheapest you can find (quality of the horse doesn't matter)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Put points to inventory management (at least 2) to have more space for goods.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;Visit the villages near the towns for cheap goods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you increase trading skill with one of the companions, put 2 points in it for your character to get the +1 extra.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Get some experience and levels before you start "heavy trading", as you will run into robbing attempts when entering marketplaces and you'll have a better chance dealing with the robbers if you have some combat skills (and good weaponry, it's good to have a bow/crossbow).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(optional) Do quests for the towns to improve your relations. You'll get better prices this way. To get the quests, talk to the guild master. You get experience while at it, and it's a welcome change to the trading as well. Be careful with bandit quests thou if your low level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Price Ranges&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Here are the price ranges I use in the game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If I see goods under the threshold I buy. And I only sell if the price is high enough.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you need to empty inventory, any price over the buying threshold is profit, so it's OK to "dump" inventory if you know that the next cities in your route don't pay well for those goods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;"&gt;BUY under X&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; means buy when the buying price is below X&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;SELL over Y&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; means sell when the selling price is over Y&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Most Profitable Goods&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Iron. BUY under 150, SELL over 300&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Salt. BUY under 150, SELL over 270&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Oil. BUY under 320, SELL over 450&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tools. BUY under 380, SELL over 450&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Velvet. BUY under 700, SELL over 950-1000&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Wine. BUY under 200, SELL over 300&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Spice. BUY under 600, SELL over 800&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Flax. BUY under 100, SELL over 150&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Linen. BUY under 220, SELL over 350&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Wool Cloth. BUY under 200, SELL over 270&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;"Filler" Goods&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Buy these to avoid travelling empty, if the above are not available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Date Fruit. BUY under 70, SELL over 120&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fish. BUY under 30, SELL over 100&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hides. BUY under 90, SELL over 100&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Grain. BUY under 30, SELL over 50&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;If you don't have much trading skill in your party, or the economy in the towns is a bit off because of wars etc, you might not get prices as high, so do drop them by ~10% or so, e.g. SELL iron over 270, SELL salt over 250 etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;For buying, avoid buying for higher than the threshold. Just move on to another city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;The Trade Route&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I learned this route from &lt;a href="http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,115780.0.html"&gt;Floris&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;at Taleworlds forum, from his "after action reports". It's a complete route around Calradia, focusing on the most profitable (small) routes and most profitable goods (only buying "filler" goods in between to avoid travelling empty).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If some goods are not available or not available below threshold price, wait for a day or just move on (I usually just move on). Sell to the other merchants if the goods merchant runs out of money and the price is still high enough (the arms/armor/horse merchant).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Ruvar, a village near Wercheg: BUY UNDER: Salt &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;"&gt;150&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2. &lt;b&gt;Wercheg&lt;/b&gt;: BUY UNDER: Salt &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;"&gt;150&lt;/span&gt;, Hides &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;"&gt;90&lt;/span&gt; (although not too much of them)&lt;br /&gt;
3. &lt;b&gt;Curaw&lt;/b&gt;: BUY UNDER: Iron &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;"&gt;150&lt;/span&gt;, Tools &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;"&gt;380&lt;/span&gt;, Sell: Salt &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;"&gt;270&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4. Ismarala, a village near Curaw: BUY UNDER: Iron &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;"&gt;150&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
5. Fenada, a village near Sargoth: BUY UNDER: Flax &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;"&gt;100&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
6. &lt;b&gt;Sargoth&lt;/b&gt;: SELL OVER: Salt &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;270&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
7. &lt;b&gt;Tihr&lt;/b&gt;: SELL OVER: Iron &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;300&lt;/span&gt;, Tools &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;450&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
8. Kwynn, a village near Sargoth: BUY UNDER: Flax &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;"&gt;100&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

If you have inventory space between towns (could not get enough cheap goods), stop in villages on the route (don't go off it too much thou) and buy cheap items. Also, buy variety of food from those villages (to keep) army fed and morale high). This money will help the economy of the town as well.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href="http://goo.gl/kp6c5"&gt;Let's play Mount &amp;amp; Blade: Warband&lt;/a&gt;. Mount &amp;amp; Blade: Warband gameplay (PC) with gameplay commentary by me (&lt;a href="http://twitter.com/Zemalf"&gt;@Zemalf&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm playing as a female commoner and using the hardest, manual settings, making the game very challenging (and also much slower paced).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;



Violet's Tale&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;This let's play is the journey of a young nomad woman adventuring in the land of Caldaria, dreaming of her own kingdom and making name for herself, trading and fighting for fame and fortune.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

About Mount &amp;amp; Blade: Warband&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Mount &amp;amp; Blade: Warband&lt;/strong&gt; is a sequel to the award winning Mount &amp;amp; Blade, a mediaval mounted combat game taking place in a fictitious land named Calradia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The game combines an open-ended sandbox, free-forming game play with action/tactics/RPG elements, and has by far the best mounted combat in any game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mount &amp;amp; Blade: Warband is available via Steam, and also via Amazon (buying the game via these links will support me, so I thank you for the support if you do):&lt;br /&gt;

IF you have ANY question about the mods (how to use them, what they do)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
GOTO TaleWorlds&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://forums.taleworlds.com/"&gt;forums&lt;/a&gt; (mod specific links above)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
p.s. If you're thinking about starting to use the same mods, I recommend using the &lt;a href="http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,148140.0.html"&gt;Floris Expanded Mod Pac&lt;/a&gt;k instead. It has it all, including Diplomacy and PBOD, and much much more.

&lt;br /&gt;
After the &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyRNaH64dEE"&gt;M&amp;B LP Episode 9&lt;/a&gt;, I played for about 4-5 hours, but then lost some footage to a crash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Plus I didn't do so well and the audio quality was quite bad, thus I didn't feel like posting 30 crappy episodes, but instead I salvaged what I could, and made this montage of the journey.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
When I buy downloadable content online, whether it's an information product or a game, I buy it online because it's fast. I want to play the game right away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately this didn't happen with Steam. Or it didn't happen because &lt;b&gt;the system didn't clearly tell me what was wrong.&lt;/b&gt; (basic usability and error management for software).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I bought &lt;i&gt;Mount &amp; Blade: Warband&lt;/i&gt; because I *really* wanted to play it today (to continue my &lt;a href="http://zemalf.blogspot.com/2011/04/mount-blade-lets-play-series.html"&gt;Mount &amp; Blade Let's Play Series&lt;/a&gt; with the newer game).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I had couple of hours for gaming, so I was excited that I could buy and download the game and be playing within minutes...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or so I thought :(&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Game Activation Failure?&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Purchasing OK. Installs OK. "Ready To Play" OK.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click 'play the game'...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YhS-Rb8_8VY/TaNCpXCXTPI/AAAAAAAAAYI/a20_604HPeU/s1600/steamui-joindialog-keyrequestpending-text.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="370" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YhS-Rb8_8VY/TaNCpXCXTPI/AAAAAAAAAYI/a20_604HPeU/s400/steamui-joindialog-keyrequestpending-text.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Error message says:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;code&gt;#SteamUI_JoinDialog_KeyRequestPending_Text&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is that's supposed to tell me what's wrong? That's supposed to tell me what to do?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How about explaining in clear English what's wrong... And what me as a customer should do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How about contact support button? How about sending a support request from the Steam tool itself (with all the technical info required right there, and quite probably in the logs of the software as well).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All very basic user interface and eCommerce design.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But noooo - support site was separate from Steam.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Had to register separate support account to even make a ticket. And copy-paste-write all the technical stuff there, and that weird error message too. And after four and a half hours and I haven't had an answer from the support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'd never had online purchase fail like this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-BUT-&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It wasn't actually a fail in Steam directly...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a support failure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;A user interface / error message failure from Steam.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After extensive search I found out that the problem might be in my computer (even that everything else worked for Steam).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It took a long time, because I could not find anything relevant from support site with the error message "SteamUI_JoinDialog_KeyRequestPending_Text":&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;0 Articles Matched Your Search: "SteamUI_JoinDialog_KeyRequestPending_Text"&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
How can a support site not list an answer to an error message in the system?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I did find help with "key server"...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2204-OPGC-4862"&gt;Failed to Contact Key Server&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently Steam tried to connect to a "key server". Starting the game from other part of Steam, e.g. via website, it gave different error message:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;code&gt;Can't connect to key server&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Don't you think that's a bit clearer message than the one I got first?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why it didn't give me *that* error message to begin with?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, with the "key server" search I found the answer, or suggestion to check the firewall (and router) - So I checked my firewall and sure enough it was blocking Steams activation request.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This didn't occur to me as everything else was working, and my firewall didn't give a warning that new kind of connection was attempted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After tweaking the firewall I got the game working.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All this could've been avoided if the error message would've been clearer (e.g. check your firewall). Or even that I'd seen "can't connect to key server".&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All in all, Steam's system for support could (and should!) be much better. This happened because the error message was very cryptic and unclear + their support site's search did not bring me relevant results with the error message.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12328612-1065800312039832294?l=zemalf.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

This Let's Play is the original (older) Mount &amp; Blade. The new version, Mount &amp; Blade Warband has multiplayer and other goodies in it. I bought the original when it was in alpha/beta stage, it was self-published back then and I never got around to Warband, so this is partly nostalgia let's play :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Third part in the series, (Mount &amp; Blade) With Fire &amp; Sword is coming out this year. The original and Warband are available via Steam, and Amazon is selling them as well:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote cite="2 Player Productions"&gt;Over the past year, the computer game Minecraft has become a cultural phenomenon, drawing millions of players into the unique, low-res world created solely by Swedish programmer Markus "Notch" Persson. When Persson announced that he would invest his Minecraft earnings in founding his own development house, Mojang, 2 Player Productions seized upon the rare opportunity to fly to Stockholm and document the first week in the life of the new studio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the editing process of what was only supposed to be a twenty-minute short, it became clear that an important chapter of gaming history was still being written, and that a feature-length documentary about Mojang's first year would make a powerful statement about what it means to create, release, and play games in the twenty-first century.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the first time, viewers will be given an in-depth look at both the triumphs and the challenges faced by a studio during their first year in existence. 2 Player will analyze the unprecedented success of Minecraft, gain insight into its impact from journalists and industry professionals, and meet the fans whose lives have been changed by the game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using the short as a proof-of-concept, 2 Player is turning to the revolutionary fundraising site Kickstarter.com to completely finance the film's production over the course of the next year. By sourcing the budget from the game's immense fanbase, it empowers the consumer to vote for content they want with their wallets and fosters a more direct relationship between themselves and the final product.&lt;/blockquote&gt;- &lt;a href="http://2playerproductions.com/projects/minecraft"&gt;2 Player Productions, Minecraft: The Story of Mojang&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Before that you want to &lt;b&gt;build a shelter&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;create torches to get light&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;li&gt;collect about 20 wooden blocks&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;save 6 wooden blocks and turn the rest into planks&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;build a workbench&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;turn some planks into wooden sticks&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;use the sticks and 3 planks to create a wooden pickaxe&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;find a hillside and start digging yourself a simple shelter&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;use the pickaxe to get stone&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;use the stone to create furnace&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;and use wooden planks as the fuel in the furnace to burn wooden blocks into charcoal&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;turn some wooden planks into sticks&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;combine the sticks with the charcoal into torches&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;use the torches to light up your shelter and the surroundings&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;and finally, use 6 wooden planks to create a door for your shelter and place the door from outside in for maximum security.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;When the sun goes down - get in your shelter, close the door and use the nighttime to craft tools in preparation for the next day and start mining a bit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you liked the tutorial and want to see more, subscribe to &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/TheZemalf"&gt;my YouTube channel&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/ZemalfsHaven"&gt;this blog&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12328612-2719219053075407895?l=zemalf.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
With the 2 new races, the whole leveling experience changed for levels from 1 to 60 and the 80 to 85 leveling, there's a lot of new content and stuff to go through, which keeps the people behind the premium leveling guides busy...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And now, just before the new expansion, Zygor Guides revealed a new 3.0 version of their in-game guide viewer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To see for yourself what &lt;strong&gt;Zygor Guides 3&lt;/strong&gt; looks like, watch the &lt;a href="http://59e68kl7kkjs0kcg2qctofum84.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=ZHPOST2TXTLINK1" rel="nofollow"&gt;Zygor Guides 3.0&lt;/a&gt; video now:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://59e68kl7kkjs0kcg2qctofum84.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=ZHPOST2IMAGE1" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Click to see the video on Zygor Guides" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="290" alt="Zygor Guides 3 Video" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EpqSwU761fQ/TPUlct4Dc4I/AAAAAAAAAW0/LEcKMlax8Vo/s320/zygor-guides-3-video.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to the in-game interface tweaks, the Zygor's leveling guides as a whole, and everything else has been renewed for Cataclysm (and the &lt;a href="http://www.wowwiki.com/Patch_4.0.3"&gt;patch 4.0.3&lt;/a&gt; aka The Shattering onwards), including the brand new level 1-60 guides, Goblin and Worgen guides, and of course, the huge level 80 to 85 guides that'll get you to the new level cap as fast as possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, if you're returning to WoW after a break, a leveling guide like &lt;a href="http://59e68kl7kkjs0kcg2qctofum84.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=ZHPOST2TXTLINK2"&gt;Zygor's&lt;/a&gt; is an awesome way to get into the groove again.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12328612-7528078180340013252?l=zemalf.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Note: As these videos are rated "mature" (would you expect anything else from Fallout?), you might need to watch them at YouTube, where logging in verifies your age - Playlist: &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=0B8CEEABE561C635"&gt;Making of Fallout: New Vegas&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Fallout: New Vegas Developer Diaries&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the first developer diary of Fallout: New Vegas, the developers at Obsidian discuss the storyline for Fallout: New Vegas -- releasing on October 19th in North America and October 22nd in Europe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the second diary, the developers talk about technology and weapons in the Mojave Wasteland, as well as how they approached sound design and music for the game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The third video, is about the game's art direction and style.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the fourth diary, the developers go about how the factions impact your quest in the Mojave Wasteland. Learn more about major factions -- including NCR, Caesar's Legion, and Mr. House.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fifth video diary, is all about the New Vegas strip, one of the centerpieces of the game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The fully renewed 1-85 Cataclysm leveling guides for both Alliance and Horde (and the 80-85 update) are on sale now, so you can be ready when the &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/cataclysm/" rel="homepage" title="Cataclysm"&gt;Cataclysm&lt;/a&gt; comes out.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Are you ready for The Cataclysm on day one? &lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://59e68kl7kkjs0kcg2qctofum84.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=ZHPOST1TXTLINK1" rel="nofollow"&gt;Zygor Guides&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, the best-selling &lt;a href="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/"&gt;World of Warcraft&lt;/a&gt; leveling guides for both Alliance and Horde, is getting ready for the new expansion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The updated version 3 guides include everything about leveling from 80 to 85 and the new starter guides for the starting areas of &lt;a href="http://kotaku.com/5345459/hands+on-with-cataclysms-goblins-and-worgen"&gt;the Goblins and the Worgen&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.wowwiki.com/Lost_Isles"&gt;The Lost Isles&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.wowwiki.com/Gilneas"&gt;Gilneas&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;WTH is Zygor Guide?&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In case your wondering why one would pay anything for a leveling guide when there's free leveling guides available...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ask yourself who will do a better job and have all the updates ready for the new expansion on time - Someone who slaves away when there's time or someone who is well-known for premium leveling guides?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want to level as fast as possible, you get a premium leveling guide (with a in-game addon). If you want to explore or for someone to create and update a free guide, you wait and have fun on your own, and that's cool if you like it that way :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Personally, I like to level as fast as possible and not waste any time running around not knowing what to do - The videos and the numbers speak for themselves, Zygor's guides are top-notch, and I'm proudly linking to them with my affiliate links, which means that if you buy'em through my links, I'll get my cut for that sale, and I'll thank you for that if you do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;The Cataclysm 1-85 Leveling Guide&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The new &lt;b&gt;1-85 Leveling Guides&lt;/b&gt; are on sale now, as the &lt;a href="http://zemalf.blogspot.com/2010/11/zygor-guides-3-revealed.html"&gt;Zygor Guides Version 3&lt;/a&gt; was announced a week before the new expansion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zygor has all the new talents covered as well, so you'll know what to pick when others are scratching their heads and reading forums while you're laughing with your main at level 85 and alts well on their way there :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;How to get the level Cataclysm leveling guides?&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Go and &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://59e68kl7kkjs0kcg2qctofum84.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=ZHPOST1TXTLINK4" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;buy Zygor's Leveling Guides today&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One guide (either Alliance or Horde) is $40, and &lt;b&gt;the full package with both the Alliance and the Horde leveling guides, the dailies guides and other bonuses is priced at $60, including the Cataclysm update&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;That's cheaper than &lt;a href="http://6fca2lkiekimdza6q0hq3p1mfo.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=ZHPOST1TXTLINK2" rel="nofollow"&gt;Dugi's guides&lt;/a&gt; ($97 for full package) , which has Cataclysm updates coming as well.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://a5a9eorejhgk5r77n-ret34ua3.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=ZHPOST1TXTLINK3" rel="nofollow"&gt;iDemise's&lt;/a&gt; leveling guide would be the cheapest at $47, but it does not seem to have Cataclysm update coming, and both Zygor's and Dugi's guides have all the dailies, evens and other bonuses in'em anyway.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;With the Shattering of Azeroth, the level 1-60 leveling has completely changed and the there's brand new 1 to 60 guides in Zygor's package as well, so you'll have the edge in the new Azeroth when leveling new alts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zygor Guides are 100% In-Game, you'll be blasting your way to the new level cap in now time :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

The EU release will follow couple of days later, on 22nd of October (damnit, it'll be a long week for me!).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003N0YCCG?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=zemalf-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=390957&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B003N0YCCG"&gt;Fallout: New Vegas Collector's Editions&lt;/a&gt; have been sold out long ago, as a lot of people &lt;a href="http://zemalf.blogspot.com/2010/06/pre-order-fallout-new-vegas.html"&gt;pre-ordeded F:NW&lt;/a&gt; after June. The ones that are left are going as high as $150. There has not been announcements that there would be more collector's editions available, but you never know. The bonuses in the CE are great, but not so great that it'd be worth it to pay 100 bucks more for it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="clear: both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0028IBTL6?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=zemalf-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=390957&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B0028IBTL6"&gt;Fallout: New Vegas&lt;/a&gt; is available for &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0028IBTL6?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=zemalf-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=390957&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B0028IBTL6" title="Fallout: New Vegas XBox 360"&gt;XBox 360&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0028IBTLG?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=zemalf-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=390957&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B0028IBTLG" title="Fallout: New Vegas PS3"&gt;PS3&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002SU4QG4?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=zemalf-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=390957&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B002SU4QG4" title="Fallout: New Vegas PC DVD"&gt;PC DVD&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=zemalf-20&amp;amp;l=as2&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;a=B0028IBTL6" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" width="1" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, as said, &lt;a href="http://www.squidoo.com/falloutnewvegas" title="Fallout: New Vegas Squidoo Page"&gt;Fallout: New Vegas&lt;/a&gt; has been released this week, and I'm getting mine on Friday 22nd. You lucky US bastards better buy the &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0028IBTL6?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=zemalf-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=390957&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B0028IBTL6"&gt;Fallout: New Vegas&lt;/a&gt; as soon as you can, so you can brag about it for couple of days :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;p.s. My free &lt;a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/18680308/Fallout-3-Perfect-Character-Guide"&gt;Fallout 3 Perfect Character&lt;/a&gt; -guide has been read over 85 thousand times, and if the character creation, S.P.E.C.I.A.L. and skills remain the same, the guide will be golden for F:NW as well!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Raid will be a film about WoW raiding and what it means to be a raider, first of its kind on this scale, so it'll be interesting to see how it turns out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on the trailer the documentary looks promising, so it will be an interesting look into the game. Because the movie is still in the making, you have a chance to help making it real. This blog post of mine is part of doing my share for it...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Check the trailer yourself to see what's coming. And check the links below to &lt;i&gt;join the raid&lt;/i&gt; yourself.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h3&gt;The Raid - World of Warcraft Documentary&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Welcome to the world of online raiding. In certain MMORPG's, like Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft, gaming content is regularly created for the collaborative participation of up to twenty-five players at a time. Each player fulfills a particular role within the collective based on the skills attributed to their class of character in the game. Some play healers, some play damage dealers, and some play characters defensively designed to soak the large amounts of damage dealt by their virtual opponents. These players group together to form raids that routinely meet to test themselves against scripted game encounters. The technical design of these encounters is often so tightly tuned that it requires a remarkable amount of practice and planning for a raid to complete them, and the near flawless performance of each of its members. - &lt;a href="http://www.jointheraid.com/"&gt;http://www.jointheraid.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"The Raid" will be a film about raiding and what it means to be a raider. We will capture the numerous hours invested by a diverse group of gamers in a complicated and choreographed digital environment, where every contribution weighs on their success or failure. We will watch, in person and virtually, as members strategize, fail, re-strategize, and inevitably find victory in their pursuits. We will sit with them in their homes and seek to understand the value this kind of commitment has in their daily lives, amidst their work, and within their families. We will question them about virtual achievements and their value. We will sit with social experts concerned about the growing issue of internet addiction and seek their opinions. We will question the future of the MMO experience and its place in the global landscape of culture, education, and business. Most of all, we will demonstrate and feel the excitement and energy of this kind of experience, which is so often criticized and misunderstood. - &lt;a href="http://www.jointheraid.com/"&gt;http://www.jointheraid.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;I have always been fascinated with technology and its effect on social culture, but my exploration into the world of Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Games (MMORPG's) opened my eyes to a type of social organization I had never seen before. I experienced faceless communities capable of remarkable commitment, coordination, and success while never actually interacting physically. - Kevin Michael Johnson &lt;a href="http://www.jointheraid.com/"&gt;http://www.jointheraid.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
