Finally, the long wait has ended for me and all the other hardcore RPG fans. The most awaited Role-Playing PC game of the year – Elder Scrolls V Skyrim has been released as promised on 11.11.11

Some of you must have pre-ordered Skyrim and I can definitely tell you that this is abso-fuckin-lutely the mother of all RPG games. This game is by far the best offering that has come from Bethesda Softworks. It does away with all the ugly fluff that was present in the previous Elder Scrolls game – Oblivion.

As usual with the Elder Scrolls series, Skyrim involves the traditional open-world exploration and going nuts in more than 150 hand crafted dungeons all over the Skyrim land. This time there is an added element to the game – Dragons. Oh yes! Dragons. Let me tell you that many of these dragons are tied to the main storyline, but there are also randomly generated dragons who are going to whoop your ass if you are not at a good level or well armored.

The dragons are simply epic and very challenging! If you try and outrun a dragon to avoid the fight, it will chase you until it sends you to hell . So don’t even try to run (You can run but you can never hide!). This is where your skills come in which you can develop by progressing through the main quest. Throughout the Skyrim land, you will meet NPCs who will give you quests, train you on certain skills that will come in handy when fighting the badass dragons.

I have tried my hands on the Joomla CMS a few times but yesterday the shit hit the fan! Seriously, there is only one thing I can say about this Joomla software – It plain and simple sucks A$$! There is no redemption for this shitty software. Even god is not going to forgive the makers of this software. I hate it so much . By the way, who on earth came up with this lame name for a software – JOOMLA (come on!)

Reason for this anger filled post :-

I got a client yesterday who wanted his Joomla 1.0 installation migrated to the latest version. And man… I have tried it more than 10 times and all it does is spew errors, errors and guess what else ? MORE ERRORS!! I have tried all ways – this way, that way, the layman way, the manual way, the migrator way, the google way, the technical way, the super technical way, but nothing seems to fuckin’ work (and trust me, I am pretty technical when it comes to script installations, upgrades and other web stuff).
