The Master Criminal & The Master Architect (Update 4/2/20)

In Skyrim, made a hard save and build up a bounty of at least 1,000 Gold in each of the nine holds. I did this by stealing and killing people & guards. Then I ran away so I could fast travel to another hold, where I rinsed and repeated. This gave me the 20 Gamerscore Achievement "Master Criminal", then I allowed myself to be caught in Whiterun, throwing me in Jail. There I was able to making another save, just in case my lockpick broke, picked the lock and escape via the tunnels. This gave me the 10 Gamerscore Achievement "Escape".

After playing the game for a while, I've built up a bunch of materials and gold, so I was able to buy 3 plots of land and build 3 Houses, each with 3 Wings to each house. The houses are; Windstad Manor, Lakeview Manor & Heljarchen Hall. Having all three houses gave me 2 more Achievements, worth a total of 20 Gamerscore; "Land Baon" & "Master Architect". I also went around towns and cities picking locks and picking pockets to get up to 50 of each, getting the 30 Gamerscore Achievement "Thief".

Collection Update #19

Collection Update #19

(January 2020)

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (Xbox 360)

Jumanji: The Next Level

Star Wars - Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker

The Italian Job (Blu-Ray)

Batman Ninja (Blu-Ray)

Pokemon Detective Pikachu Promo Cards

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a major staple in the Call of Duty Franchise, still being one of the best games in the series. I owe the Remastered Game already, I remember playing the game at my friend's house when I was younger, but I never owned the game itself. It was more of a collection buy, but I played through the game and I'm planning on completing it anyways.

Jumanji: The Next Level was okay. I didn't watch the other newer Jumanji film until late last year. I get why they are making the films, besides money; to capture younger viewers because it features video games, as well as The Rock is unable to say no to a film deal atm. I mean...  he's been in 13 films in the last 5 years, as of the year of 2020... the film was alright but it was just a lot of "thank god for the random bullshit", and that just keeps happening and it becomes real boring, real quick.

Star Wars - Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker was a massive improvement on Episode XIII, but not not as good as Episode XII. I thought the weird forced love between Rey and Kylo at the end was odd, and Rey saying she's a Skywalker now really pissed me off. Zorii Bliss is an odd character because we are just thought to believe that she matters... she doesn't because she has next to no backstory. The Knights of Ren was great. The Emperor's return was pretty great. Rey being the granddaughter of the Emperor was cool as well. The was visually amazing, I loved the inclusion of Lando as well, but it was pretty expected after seeing a young Lando in the Solo Film. On the whole, the movie nearly redeems Episode XIII, but doesn't make me want to watch the trilogy all over again, like the Original Trilogy does.

The Italian Job is probably one of the greatest films ever made. Full spot. No more waffle needed to explain my point. I saw in the sales, I picked it up, job's a good'un.

Batman Ninja is a really cool and interesting idea and different take on Batman. I never read the comics but the movie looks really great. I haven't watched it yet but I'm looking forward to it.

I finally have a complete collection of the Pokemon - Detective Pikachu Promo Cards. It's taken a little while but I finally have them all. Along with the Pokemon Trading Card Book, it looks really great all together. I don't play the Trading Card game but I'm happy to have all Promo Cards as an item in my growing collection.

The Aetherium Shield & Vampirism Cure (Update 2/2/20)

In Skyrim, I completed the "Lost to the Ages" & "Rising at Dawn" Quests, which I ended up getting the Aetherium Shield and being cured of Vampirism as rewards.

How to cure Vampirism (Rising at Dawn Quest) - Skyrim: Dawnguard DLC

You can become a Vampire by means; you can be bitten by a Vampire during normal play, you or can accept "the Gift" from Lord Harkon or another Vampire of Castle Volkihar. When you are a Vampire, if you do not feed, you become hated by people and become weak to fire and the sun over time. But as a Vampire, you some pretty cool powers.

But if you want to cure Vampirism, first you need to go to The Death Man's Drink, in Falkreath.

Then talk to Valga Vinica, the barmaid. Ask her about rumors; she will to mention Falion of Morthal.

This will start the quest "Rising at Dawn". He will ask you to bring him a filled Black Soul Gem, Black Soul Gems can be found throughout Skyrim, or you can buy one of him. You will a Soul Gem by two ways; killing an enemy with a weapon with an Soul Trapping Enchantment or by hitting an enemy with the Magic Spell - Soul Trap and then killing them.

I found the easiest way is to hit them with Soul Trap and then kill them because I didn't have a Soul Trapping Enchanted Weapon on me. You can by the Spell Tome: Soul Trap book off of Dragonsreach Court Wizard Farengar Secret-Fire, in Whiterun. Then I found a bandit, used Soul Trap on them and killed them, doing this filled my Black Soul Gem.

Once you have a Filled Black Soul Gem, return to Falion and he will tell you to wait for him at Dawn at a location, just north of Mortal. Falion will begin the ritual, your vision will go dark, then blighty white, then you are cured of Vampirism.

If you catch Vampirism again, the quest can be repeated to cure Vampirism again.

On the other hand, you can talk to Aela, one of the Companions. Where you have the ability to turn into a Werewolf, which will cure you of Vampirism as well.
