Skyrim: Clean-Up/Repair Whiterun, Solitude, Windhelm After Civil War

After finishing the civil war storyline, you may have noticed that Whiterun and either Solitude or Windhelm, depending on which side you took, have some destroyed structures left over from the battle. These structures never repair themselves, and may look ugly. Fortunately, there are console commands to repair the cities.

Simply run the following console commands to repair each city:

Whiterun:
"FC90C".enable
"FC90B".disable
Solitude:
"100D97".enable
"100D98".disable
Windhelm:
"101FD2".enable
"101FDD".disable
And that's it! If you want the city to be destroyed again, simply swap the enable and disable. Make sure you make a save before doing this, just in case. If you want to run this through the bat command, make sure you put the file name in double quotes or it will throw an error.

Bitcoin Prices Rocket Sky High

Among recent news, the value of Bitcoin has reached record highs. As of March 14, 2013, the price on Mt.Gox is USD $47/btc. Now, the question is, should you sell now?

Viewing the data from Bitcoin Charts, one can see that during the first few months Bitcoin was released, the price was a mere $3/btc. Just last year, the price was averging $5-10/btc.

With the steep upwards slope at the right side of the graph, there's a good chance of a steep downwards slope sometime in the future. But who knows, maybe the steep upwards slope will continue.

Tera is Now Free to Play

Tera: Rising, a fantasy MMORPG published by En Masse Entertainment has gone free to play, as of February 5, 2013.

The game features a unique battle system, which requires you to aim at your target with a reticle instead of simply clicking of them. Leveling up to the cap, 60, mostly consists of quest and dungeon grinding. Once 60, it becomes a gear grind. The game features entertaining boss battles, guild vs guild wars, and battlegrounds fights.

Play as 1 of 6 different races and 1 of 8 classes. Classes are Archer (ranged dps), Berserker (melee dps), Lancer (tank), Mystic (healer), Priest (healer), Sorcerer (ranged dps), Slayer (melee dps), and Warrior (melee dps/tank).
Tera races from left to right: Castanic, Human, Aman, Popori, High elf, and Baraka.

Aside from the 6 races pictured above, the game also features the controversial Elin race, a race visually comparable to little girls with animal ears and tail.
