August 17th, 2021Last week, we asked our Looters a question: what’s the best installment of The Elder Scrolls? We hosted a two-round tournament to find out.

December 17th, 2019It's crazy to think about how just last week it was December 31, 2009 and baby Tyler was just finishing his first semester in college. The 2010s flew by, but I think it was because of the revolutionary turn video games have taken in the last decade. In honor of those games, here are *my top 10 video games of the 2010s!
*This is 100% my...
December 3rd, 2019Well, I wasn't prepared for that sudden freeze out. I was wearing shorts like last week! Staying warm, Looters? Well, while you're here, why not CHILL our new themed Spotify Playlist?
This month's theme for Loot Crate, Loot Crate DX, and Loot Wear is CHILL, so I figured I'd pulls some tracks and scores from hit films, shows and games...
March 15th, 2019The Elder Scrolls Online is coming up on its 5th anniversary this year, and I'm just getting into the swing of things.

One great thing about The Elder Scrolls Online is that you can...
February 22nd, 2019When you consider yourself a game commentator and gaming historian, you tend to know a lot of things. Picture my surprise when I met people who didn't know there were games before Skyrim in the Elder Scrolls series. I know, right? Let's take this as a teachable moment, shall we?
Now, I know a lot of folks are going to be quick to jump...

Now that I'm about a month in, there are some things going in that I wish I had known ahead of time. To save any new players (or heck, maybe a couple of veterans) from headaches, here are a handful of tips I...
November 8th, 2018Loot Gaming is dishing up some of the coolest (and sharpest) weapons in video games this month, with November's BLADE theme, including an awesome item from The Elder Scrolls.
Now, there are of course way too many weapons to try and put on a list here, but I figured if I narrowed it down to blades, aka swords, daggers, etc, from TES, I...
August 8th, 2018Listen, we know you have dragons to yell at, vampire vengeance to exact, fights to finish, and giant robot-birds to stop, but it’s hard to do that stuff on an empty stomach.
That’s why June’s Loot Gaming Looters grabbed some #GRUB with a side of gear featuring Skyrim, Castlevania, Halo and Bioshock Infinite!

March 14th, 2018A little over a month ago I wrote up a piece on mods that I was using to spice up my recent Fallout 4 playthrough on PS4. I talked about how much I love the incredible worlds that Bethesda has put together in both their Fallout and Elder Scrolls series, but after a few playthroughs and tens or hundreds of hours, it's easy to fall...
February 20th, 2018People who played The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim have been diving in with very little surface time since it came out in 2011.
