Completed a few more quests.  I'm going to finally commit to bringing the Thieves Guild back to prominence...

Married Mjoll today and decked her out in a full set of Nightingale Armor to match my own.  We are a force to be reckoned with!

This week was a very productive week in Skyrim.  I completed the Thieves Guild story line, unlocking the utterly amazing Nightingale Armor set (which I now wear exclusively) and have completed three out of the four Thieves Guild Restoration quests.  I only have one more hold to go before the Guild is feared in all of Skyrim!  It's nice walking through Whiterun and hearing the Guards talking about the increased presence of the Thieves.

I also broke 100,000 gold, earning the Golden Touch achievement.  Once I fully complete the Thieves Guild I'll begin the Dark Brotherhood and also focus on buying new homes and possibly find a bride.  I want to marry a follower this time so that I can exchange gear with her...plus maybe do a bit of adventuring with wifey.  

Maybe I'll also delve a little into the main story for once...here are all the cheevos thus far:

I've been offline here for the last couple of days as Skyrim has taken over almost every waking moment.  As I reached skill level 100 in smithing with Machete and crafted some amazing Dragon Armor, I felt that I reached my goal with him and decided to start over from scratch.  I created a new character to tie in with my nerdy Marvel comics love.  The Nord known as Thor the Avenger was born and began his very own adventure!  Sadly for Thor, it has not been as adventurous as perhaps he had hoped...

Currently, I have yet to meet the Jarl of Whiterun or kill a single bandit, yet sit at level 33.  After choping wood for a long time to earn some cash, I decided to follow some steps to create a trully epic set of armor.  Want to know how?  Click HERE.

I have currently made tens of thousands of Septims crafting potions and hope to have my alchemy skill maxed out within the next couple of days.  I'm looking forward to begin my adventure with some overclocked legendary armor and laying waste to all who stand in my way!

Still going hard on Skyrim.  Got my speech up to 100 with the exploit in Riften, now I'm crafting a ton of leather grieves and Iron Daggers to build up my smithing skill 100.  I NEED to make some dragon armor, although the Glass set is gorgeous.  On my next play-through I'm going to focus on completing my Companions quests.

Got two new games today from the Expert Zone.  Kinectimals with Bears and HALO Anniversary.  Maybe I'll pry myself from Skyrim for a while to give them a play.

Here are the achievements I unlocked today:

1.

   Reach Level 25
