DExposE2 Does For Windows What Expose Does For Macs
2008-05-17 00:31:00 DExposE2 for Windows is a great app, even it it’s just a copycat. Actually, I’m not giving it enough credit, this things copies and then improves on the original.

Vampirism Obliviated addon for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion
2008-04-22 03:53:00 Hey everyone, I just thought I would write up a quick post about a little Oblivion mod that I made called Vampirism Obliviated. Here is the description that is in the readme: Vampirism Obliviated in Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion erases all of the vampire spells and effects within Oblivion that act upon your character, and works whether or not you are currently a Vampire. Specifically, this mod erases the spells that make you into a vampire, such as vampirism25-100, the attack and defense bonuses, and sunlight damage, so that you can still become a vampire again if you disable this mod. Not that I should get much of a say about its awesomeness, but I do since I made it. Here’s the story about why I decided to make this in the first place. Grab a coke and some Cheeto’s, this is a classic… …One day I was minding my own business pulling off the biggest theft in history by stealing an Elder Scroll from the Imperial Palace and thus become the Master (Gray Fox for ...
