For starters, Borderlands 2 was made straight-up free yesterday. If you are at all a fan of shooters, looters, or either genre, you…
Oblivion’s renowned meme king, the YouTuber Bacon_, has recently regaled us with tales of rescuing Emperor Uriel Septim, secret agent-style, and why the original’s chaotic Radiant AI system remains the gold standard for Bethesda NPCs. Bacon unsurprisingly has a lot of love for the recent remaster and believes that it makes “lots of good changes…
