I've been playing a lot of Oblivion lately, so I figured I might as well join up with the UESPWiki, fixing whatever grammatical weirdness I find on the site, and providing any new content and/or clarifying existing content if I can.

Behind the keyboard

They call me William, or Bil if they're chummy, and if they really know me, they know I'm studying computer science at the University of Tennessee. I divide my time between Oblivion and Emacs these days, sometimes favoring the former, but mostly the latter. I discovered Oblivion by pure chance by browsing game shelves at my local Wal-Mart. I got the box set with Bioshock in the same case, and loved both the games. Aside from Oblivion, I mostly play shooters: recent favorites are Half-Life 2 (as always), Borderlands, and Crysis Warhead.

This is a recent build, my first. I'm hardly new to Windows or to gaming, although I am relatively new to the Elder Scrolls franchise. It's been a good system for me; it can run Crysis Warhead on Enthusiast settings, just one sign of how awesome it is. Obviously, it's a bit too much system for Oblivion, but you don't hear me complaining.
