Falskaar mod for Skyrim

OK, I thought I was done with Skyrim. I Played through all the content and moved on to Dishonored via a sweet deal on Steam. Now I’m thinking I may give this mod a try. The author built this mod as a way to a job as a level designer.

Falskaar by Alexander J. Velicky

Falskaar is a new lands mod that adds an entirely new worldspace to the world. It’s accessed by a dungeon the first time, then by boat from then on out. Falskaar’s goal was to sharpen my skills in almost all areas around the board, with a focus in level and dungeon design. The result is that there is at least a little bit of everything. There is a new land, places, people, quests, dungeons and more for the player to experience. It adds roughly 20+ hours of content, and favors all types of characters.

This is NOT a beta. This is NOT a test version. This is a 100% completed new lands mod.

Online psychotherapy may be better than in-person consultations

We already know it’s better if our therapists keep session notes in a Web app. It looks like there’s good evidence that talking to them on Google Hangouts is a good idea, too.

UZH Mediadesk – Psychotherapy via internet as good as if not better than face-to-face consultations

Online psychotherapy is just as efficient as conventional therapy. Three months after the end of the therapy, patients given online treatment even displayed fewer symptoms. For the first time, clinical researchers from the University of Zurich provide scientific evidence of the equal value of internet-based psychotherapy.

Sells Minor Threat T-Shirts at Urban Outfitters

“It’s not a political thing for me,” MacKaye says. “I just don’t give a fuck about T-shirts.”

Urban Outfitters Sells Minor Threat T-Shirts, Ian MacKaye Responds – Arts Desk

Hey, look, teens of America: You can buy a kewl Minor Threat T-shirt for $28 at Urban Outfitters.

Hear something? That’s the sound of a 45-year-old punk rocker punching a wall.

But wait just a second before you start groping for the lever on the ol’ outrage machine. Turns out the T-shirt is not a bootleg like that Forever 21 design from 2009; it’s licensed through Tsurt, a California-based company that Ian MacKaye and Co. hired to produce and oversee sales of the band’s official shirts.
