Tyara Teaser Trailer (Punch Planet)

A Beautiful, Butt-kicking Barefoot Space Amazon? SOLD!

Punch Planet is an indie fighting game that I've had my eye on for quite a while. Development has been a bit on the slow side, but the animation and fighting action look really good. There are only a few fighters (4 so far), which does not bode well for any possible release anytime soon. But this is looking to be something to look forward to- and now, it seems to have borne fruit. They have finally posted a teaser for Tyara, a barefooted space amazon who caught my attention to this game in the first place. She looks pretty cool, and I am intrigued to know what her story is. Anyways, good to see the game has finally reached the point where they are now spotlighting her. This is no Tekken 7, nor does it need to be- the art style is unique and this is looking to be a quality brawler. One for the future then.

You can find out more about the game at its official website.

Skyrim Soles: The Amazon's Adventures Continue! (Elder Scrolls V Skyrim PC)

A deadly skirmish with one woman left standing...

Believe it or not... I am STILL playing The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim. Really, this game is all manners of awesome, from how the continuous influx and creation of mods keep it fresh and exciting and new, how the graphics look freakin' amazing (with the right mods installed) and well, how the in-game female bare feet (with FemFeet Redesigned installed) are easily the best-looking in-game footsies I have had the pleasure to play with.
Just this night's play session, I was wandering the roads with my heroine, the Barefoot Dovahkiin known as The Amazon. She was minding her own business when she was attacked by a Fire Drahman Norokdir- a mod-provided monster that was half-dragon and half-man... and all horrific. Even though the Amazon was at level 69, armed with legendary armor, weapons and skills, she was outmatched. The creature took away chunks of life with every hit, and had tons of health to shrug off blows that would fell any other creature. Though it irked her, the female fury was forced to give ground in the hopes of whittling down the Norokdir and somehow survive.

Luckily though, help soon arrived, in the form of a Stormcloak patrol. Since she was unaligned, these rebel soldiers were friendly and rushed in to battle the beast. Well, unfortunately for the Stormcloaks, they were no match for the Norokdir as well, and soon all were dead on the ground. However, the Amazon was able to deal the finishing blows thanks to their interference, and as the battle ended, she stood alive, the lone survivor.



Once again I have to say- Skyrim's modded feet are the best bare feet in gaming.

One of the fallen Stormcloaks was a female- their captain, in fact, and she was, like the Amazon herself, barefooted in fur greaves. I found myself staring at her soles and I have to say I was amazed. I've seen the game's FemFeet-augmented feet countless times, of course- but still, seeing how detailed the feet are still makes me so glad for having this game. The feet are damn beautiful, and so realistic. Even more so, I noticed now (as you can see in the pic above) that the feet are rimed with frost, since the female Stormcloak had been walking barefooted in the snowy ground. Otherwise though, her feet were unblemished and unharmed, as they were warrior feet and proof against even tough ice or snow (perfect, indestructible, beautiful feet- a foot fan's dream!). Man, I have to say again- the modders who created FemFeet (and FemFeet ReDesigned) have my eternal thanks.

Anyway, I'll be posting more vids in my Path of The Amazon series on the Youtube channel, and it will hopefully carry on into the conclusion of the main quest and then progress into Dawnguard. From there I'll continue playing with the character into more quests (perhaps Dragonborn and Falskaar). I don't think I'll be quitting this game anytime soon. Man, is that replay value or what? Heheh.

Skyrim: Path of The Amazon, Dark Brotherhood Destroyed!

The DB femme fatale, Astrid, laid out before The Amazon.

Meanwhile, in my version of Skyrim... I'm really behind on posting episodes, but suffice to say I've got tons of footage I need to just get out. I've finished the main quest, and am moving on to Dawnguard... which I am liking since the lovely vampire princess Serana (whom I will feature soon) is barefoot in her default outfit (thanks to the Greaves and Legwraps mod) and makes for a cute (and thankfully unkillable companion). It will be some time till I get to posting that though.

Anyway, I just have to chronicle that I have recently disposed of The Dark Brotherhood. Yep, I have shut off an entire questline by exterminating the assassins of Skyrim instead of joining them. The Amazon slew their leader, Astrid, in single combat, in a secluded cabin, and left her lying on the floor, her sexy soles exposed (among other things). Following that, she reported it to a guard, was directed to the Penitus Oculatus' Captain Mero, and was sent in to clean out the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary in Falkreath. Needless to say, they were cake.

I perhaps noted early on in The Amazon's roleplaying aspect that she would NEVER join the DB, especially since they have tried multiple times to kill her. She has though joined the Thieves Guild (but has halted for now short of becoming Guildmaster so she can hold onto the Skeleton Key... heheh), she did so to have a network of spies and intelligence throughout the land, and considers their antics, while larcenous, in the end passable. The murderous ways of the DB however would never be considered by our heroine by any measure.

Anyway, I'll try to keep posting Skyrim and try to post more pics here too. Hoping I find ways to show more sole in every ep, but it's very difficult. Well, we learn by doing. Later then!

Gormlaith Golden-Hilt (Skyrim)

Gormlaith Golden-Hilt in Sovengarde (Skimpified Barefoot Version).

One of the hotter babes you'll find in Skyrim is the Nord Hero, Gormlaith Golden-Hilt. Well, the first time you meet her is in a sorta-flashback/vision thingie, as the Dragonborn watches a scene from the ancient Dragon War between the Ancient Nords and Alduin's Dragons. Gormlaith is one of the three chief Nord Heroes who battle Alduin himself. Of the three, Gormlaith is the only one to fall in combat, valiantly fighting the black dragon to the end.

The Dragonborn meets Gormlaith more or less in person during the Main Quest's final leg, and they wage the final battle together hand-in-hand. Of course, thanks to the open-ended nature of the game, right after you 'win', you get a Shout that lets you summon Gormlaith (or one of the other two Nord Heroes Three) to aid you in combat for a while.

Anyway, The Amazon has already finished the Main Quest and vanquished Alduin the World Eater, but her travels are far from over. Now she has the Call of Valor Shout at her disposal, so now when she needs to, The Amazon can summon the lovely and strong Gormlaith to fight with her! Of course, OUR version of Gormlaith requires the 'Killer Keo's Skimpy Armors' and the 'Greaves and Legwraps' mod to have her looking as she does in the pics here. Also, recommended is the Call of Valor Fix mod to make the Sovngarde Summons as viable combatants at high levels (otherwise they're pretty weak).

I love summoning Gormlaith- she's surely the only Barefoot Babe Summon in the game, and aside from her kicking ass, if she doesn't get 'killed' by enemies she has a nice 'KO' animation when her time limit runs out, so you get a cool KO in any case. Heheh.



Gormlaith fallen.

I'm sure I'll be able to show off Gormlaith fighting alongside The Amazon in upcoming episodes of Path of The Amazon. Stay tuned for that! For now though, check out the pics and dream of this lovely Valkyrie kicking up her perfect bare soles in Sovngarde, ready for you to give her some loving massages and worship...

Skyrim: Path of The Amazon Poll Result, Update!

The Amazon's ready to fulfill her Dragonborn destiny...

Okay, the people have spoken! About a week ago I asked everyone to help me decide which side in the Skyrim Civil War should our Heroine, The Amazon, join? The Imperial Legion and the Empire, or to the Stormcloak Rebellion?

The results are out and more than half of all votes went to keeping our Barefoot Dovahkiin NEUTRAL. So I will acquiesce... we won't join either side, and just keep on truckin', er, questing.

To be honest, I am very partial to the Empire, mainly because I like General Tullius and Rikke quite a bit. Ulfric for me is a wild card choice, something you'd do just to see the other side of things. Anyway, I will keep the Status Quo for now and just keep on the path of the Dragonborn.

As of right now, The Amazon is Level 54. I have gone and decided to finish the Main Quest and take care of Alduin. After that, we'll see about taking her through the DLC quests and other stuff. She's almost too powerful at this point, but she can still die if I'm careless. But still- Dual wielding legendary swords she can pretty much kill anything- including dragons- in a couple of power attacks.

Anyways, I'll be posting vids for the next several weeks. We'll see where her adventure leads her!

New Poll: Should The Amazon join The Imperial Legion or The Stormcloaks?

It's been some time since I started my latest Skyrim Playthrough, featuring the barefoot heroine known as The Amazon. Right now, she's at Level 50 and a total badass. I think at this time she's powerful enough to tip the balance of Skyrim's Civil War if she were to take a side. But what side should she take?

Though she's technically a Nord, she's actually a foreigner to Skyrim, so she's not going to go with Ulfric and the Nord cause just because she's blonde, tall and (probably) speaks in a German accent. But she does dislike oppression and repression, and the way that the Thalmor have been given free reign to walk over the rights of Skyrim's people at will irks her to no end. That said, she is from a militaristic, clannish race herself, and is not averse to an Empire or ruler who is able to maintain the peace by strength and righteousness.

One may argue that she may not join the Legion since they were trying to kill her at the start of the story- but well, she's already taken her revenge on them for that, by defeating Helgen's Imperial Captain in combat. So they're square (perhaps?).

But she's also seen some disturbing things about the Stormcloaks- she's read dubious things about Ulfric from the Thalmor dossiers, and the way the rebels' cause seems to celebrate segregation of non-Nords just rubs her the wrong way.

Should she join the fray? Should she fight to reunite Skyrim for the Empire, or liberate it for The Stormcloaks? Or should she just remain neutral and concentrate on killing dragons and righting little wrongs in Skyrim? Help us decide! Cast your vote in the New Poll now!

Just a side note as well- The Amazon's look above- wearing the Warchief Headdress along with Imperial Legion-style bracers and greaves- seemed familiar to me from somewhere, and I eventually realized that there's an actual unit of Roman Legionnaire in actual history with a similar outfit. These guys were called Aquilifiers and they wore lion skin headdresses. Apparently they were ranked just below Centurions and had the honor of carrying the Legion's standard (the Eagle). So they were pretty badass and terrifying to see for the enemies of Rome. Of course, the Aquilifiers were male and probably didn't go barefoot (nor did they kill dragons or wear dragon armor). Heheh.

Anyways, sadly The Amazon has recently just switched looks again. She still wears her base Dragonplate cuirass, but has replaced her helmet, gauntlets and greaves. I'll leave it at that for now and show off her new look in another article or video.

Skyrim: Path of The Amazon Update! (Elder Scrolls V Skyrim PC)

The Amazon has gone through a lot of changes since she first debuted!

Since I last posted about my heroine, The Amazon, she was of relatively low level, in some slightly crafted armor and equipment, and just growing up in skills. Well, fast forward to today and I think she's come quite a bit.
At Level 47, she's VERY formidable now. She's already got 100 Skill in both Smithing and Alchemy, which allows her to craft Legendary weapons and armor to use, as well as powerful potions that can augment her attack power or heal her in a flash- or do a lot of other effects. Only a wee bit more leveling up in Enchanting and she's maxed out in the crafting part.

Fighting-wise, she's pretty strong but can get stronger. I've decided to branch out her skills from just One-handed to Two-handed weapons, in order to have more variety in Kill move cutscenes for future vids. Still not wanting her to use too much magic- I don't think she needs it- but if she does, perhaps a bit of Conjuration would be cool so she could summon some backup in a flash if she needs it.


She's changed her hairstyle recently, care of the Face But- er, Face Sculptor of Riften.

I think I really like her new look (this has yet to debut on vids- I am so advanced relatively in video postings and in actual gameplay). It's a Tribal Huntress/Semi-Barbaric Frontierswoman look. The Dragonplate armor is the strongest she can have, though I've decided to have her use the sexy Steel Shin Greaves of the Imperial set (a lot sexier and shows more than the Dragonplate greaves); crafted up they give more than enough protection anyway. The Ornate Bear Cloak with the feathers makes her look a bit tribal which I really like (it looks kinda regal, in a barbarian sort of way).

Oh, and by now she's also quite loaded with cash (gold). I realized in previous playthroughs I've done, I invested points into Speech perks (Investor) which gave merchants a lot more money- I haven't done that yet, so I most often clean out shops of cash when I visit. Anyways, thanks to her Alchemy The Amazon can pretty much make a comfy living selling potions she brews (they sell for a LOT). In fact, she's made most of her money that way, and I got her Smithing up simply by upgrading stuff she finds- I only rarely did the Iron Dagger spamming trick.
Anyway, long story short- she's got more than enough cash and can make more honestly (take that, Brynjolf) without needing to loot every corpse she comes across. So I need to resist the urge and just loot only the choicest bits.
Just recently as well, she got her Enchanting to 100 and got the awesome Extra Effect perk- which is pretty much the ticket to really kicking ass in Skyrim.

Even at a pretty high level, she's got a LOT to do yet, and she's nowhere near being 'overpowered' (even if I can still kill a dragon in a couple of hits). I only recently got her into the Companions, but I expect to blow through that easily. I plan to go through the Main Quest, Dawnguard, Dragonborn and perhaps even that cool mod quest Falskaar eventually.



Her alternate look is wearing the Warchief Headdress- really fierce and fitting for a huntress like her.

Perhaps someday when The Amazon has adventured a lot more and decides to take a vacation, I'll start off a Magic-user character. A barefoot shaman/sorceress? Perhaps someday. Hmmm...
