20 Minutes of Skyrim With Todd Howard

Bethesda to Tokyo: We see your quest and raise you X dragons.

There used to be an embeded media player here, but it doesn't work anymore. We blame the Tumbeasts.

With TGS looming on the horizon you’re all set to absorb the copious amount of Japanese news and trailers that will be clogging up the internet’s arteries all week. Bring on those crazy sex sims, soccer games, unapologetically difficult and/or old school JRPGs, anime-based titles and 2D fighters brimming with complex combos.

But wait – what’s this? You have swarmed to your favorite gaming site – ready for the proverbial mashing of buttons – only to discover that Bethesda Softworks, that beacon of western design philosophy, has crashed the party with three new gameplay vids of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim? Something isn’t right here; but you’re not complaining, because there are dragons here. And if you can’t get into that shit, then we bid you good day, sir or madam.
