From Central California and Northern England, two aspiring writers natter and share a blog. We like to talk about our disparate but oh-so-similar lives, offer opinions on literature and movies... and endlessly reminisce about Bioware RPG's.


We hope you haven't had enough of our disingenuous assertions. If you have, please don't hit us.

Today in Skyrim


We here at Disingenuous Assertions - all two of us - believe fervently that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is, indeed, a video game. A game that must be played and its secrets unlocked for the betterment of all humanity. And if this is your first time here, we also don't care for Dragon Age 2.

We could do a review for Skyrim, but it wouldn't happen anytime soon. The game simply does not end, and that's not an exaggeration. Unlimited dragons, a massive world to explore, and randomly generated quests does not a timely review make, not when you factor in our schedules. But at this point, we're both in agreement that this is a wonderful game. I have my hang-ups, and I'm sure Buch does, too, but they don't really get in the way of what's turning out to be a great adventure through what is definitely the most beautiful region of the series to date.

To alleviate our need to both criticize and gush about this game without writing lengthy reviews, we've decided to make a journal of sorts, highlighting the bright spots of our respective adventures, as well as things we might not care for in the game. In other words, it'll pretty much be a review as it happens - or, basically, a Twitter feed but with Skyrim... and not on Twitter.

We're gonna do a brief intro for our characters so you know who you're dealing with, and then we'll be off to the races! Stay tuned!


EDIT BY BUCH: Anthony, I'm curious to know what your hang-ups are! I do have a few so far, but still I'm really loving this thing.

Also - 'unlimited dragons' is the best two-word phrase ever. xD
