Universe Sandbox 2 is a universe sim game you can get on steam. I just did. It's right up my alley. As a huge fan of astronomy I found it quite interesting. In it you can build solar systems, terraform planets and when you get bored of them you can destroy your creation in hillarious ways. That feature is what makes this game so great...
I got into the game after I searched for the phrase "IS Jupiter a brown dwarf?" on google. I came across a video by "I Decleare Sheninagames" doing hillarious things to the solar system in the game. The game simulates orbits of the planets based on their gravity, but not just that, It also simulates temperature and climate as well.. So If you launch an asteroid at the earth, the earth will superheat and eliminate all life from it... If you make the sun have less mass than it has now, the earth and other planets will orbit further away and get colder. Earth will freeze and go through Ice ages due to this. If you make the sun go supernova it boils all planets to death, etc... Things such as mass, size, temperature, composition are easily changeable in the sim so you can mess with stuff royally and end the solar system in creative ways.
In my first 6 hours of playing the game (I averaged 3 hours per day during 2 days), I did the following:
1) Launched the enormous star Betelgeuse at the outer solar system
Result: All the inner planets got flung out of the solar system, earth froze to death due to this
2) Launched Betelgeuse at the sun
Result: The whole Solar system got pulled INTO Betelgeuse making to Supernova
3) Replaced the planet Jupiter with the Supermassive Blackhole Sagittarius A*
Result: This was a riot... Sagittarius A* took over as the thing all the planets orbited and they all got really eccentric orbits.. Earth and Jupiter Froze to death and then got sucked into the black hole.. The sun became an orbiting object that orbited the Black Hole rather than the thing all other planets orbited...
4) Tried to make a solar system where all the planets orbited the sun right next to it in the same exact orbit...
Result: All planets boiled to death and got flung into the sun
5) Did the same thing as 4 but made all the orbits much more eccentric...
Result: All the planets boiled to death and jupiter became a 15 cm large gas giant! WTF!
6) Made Jupiter a Brown dwarf by increasing it's mass to 75 Jupiter masses:
Result: The Planets orbits changed dramatically, Jupiter's moons collided with it..
7) Replaced the Sun with the Star Vega
Result : Planets all got a very eccentric orbit. Earth melted to a temperature of 1500 Farenheit while
it was near Vega, and froze to death while further away...
8) Made all planets but earth and Pluto Brown dwarfs:
Result: Totally fucked up the solar system... All orbits became eccentric and the whole thing just became a huge mess.. All orbits were on a random plane. Earth boiled to death then froze to death!
9) Launch Ceres at the Earth at lightspeed
Result: Destroys half of earth
10) Launch venus at the moon at 15 times the speed of light...
Result : Made earth hit the moon causing half of the earth to melt
11) Launch a pulsar at the outer edge of the solar system
Result: Messed up the orbits of the outer solar system only... This one wasn't too bad
12) Launch the Pulsar at the sun
Result : Fucks up all orbits, makes earth freeze to death and then makes the sun go Supernova...
13) Delete all planets but Jupiter and then make them and all their moons orbit Jupiter at a really
close distance...
Result : Causes all the planets to get flung outside Jupiter. Earth and mars get destroyed. Solar system
fucked up royally...
The results of my "experiments" were quite cruel, but funny at the same time. Earth almost never survived well. Humanity died miserably in 90% of these... And that was my intention. See the intention of this video game was to build a solar system. But I don't think that's as fun as destroying one... For that reasons, I love this game... This post will be updated to talk about my future exploits, so stay tuned...

Morrowind Insanity : My Unique 1st Playthrough of Morrowind Rebirth + Tamriel Rebuilt mods for Morrowind!
Since I did my epic Skyrim adventures, I got fed up with it a bit and decided to take a huge break
from Skyrim and instead play heavily modded Morrowind Instead. Since I no longer have my disc
for Oblivion, I had no choice to play Morrowind.... Plus I really like Morrowind and there are mods
for morrowind I had to try out....
I had only one major gameplay mod for Morrowind installed, Giants... Nothing else. I had Morrowind graphics extender and some grass mods installed plus new textures as well but I wanted to change that... So I ditched giants because it was rather annoying in enemy encounters and decided to install the Morrowind overhaul mod, Morrowind rebirth, plus the wicked cool Tamriel Rebuilt mod, which adds a whole new landmass, the Mainland of the Morrowind Province to Morrowind, so you are no longer limited to the island of Vvardenfell, complete with new cities, locations, dungeons, and quests... On top of that I installed a new texture mod, Darknut's World textures and reconfigured morrowind GFX extender to make the distant land work better....
Configuring these two mods was a bit tricky. I didn't do an important step and when I tried to go to Tamriel Rebuilts area to look at it briefly, I got lots of errors. But when I registered the new .BSA files in an INI, these errors went away. The result.... Amazing!
I could not beleive just how cool Tamriel Rebuilt is... You think the cities seen in normal morrowind are pretty? Tamriel Rebuilt pwns them. You also get a huge landmass to look at.. Currently only half of it is done but... It's a work in progress and what is done is worth it... The evironments are way nicer looking than normal vvardenfell ones and you get tons of variation to them, from overgrown forests, to non-overgrown ones, to mountainous terrain with snow, to non-snowy mountains, to areas similar to Sheogorad and Azuras's Coast, to Meadows, to Rocky Deserts to more... Morrowind had a lot of variation but not nearly as much as this mod has.
Now tamriel rebuilt does require the player to be a medium to high level to survive it and you simply cannot jump into it at level 1 and expect to survive. I have seen several LP's of it and 90% of them do exactly that... It's a mistake... So I haven't actually done any quests for it yet because I am too low level now because I had to start a new morrowind game... I am currently at level 7 and I hope to go there and quest around level 10 or so. It may be a bit too low level for it, who knows, but I will try...
My character is quite strong. He is a powerful nord warrior with limited magical abilities. He has really good equipment for a level 7, including the Lord's Mail for Armor and a Daedric Dai-Katana for a sword. In fact I think I will need this equipment in it because I've seen people get their asses kicked by NPC's there so... At one hilarious point during my playthrough, I was exploring the desert hills near Almalexia and got stuck and needed to get back to Vvardenfell... I did make it back but just barely... It was close and I killed a Durzog for the first time and it was hard at level 5 to do so but I did it... Daedric weapons help a lot.
I am roleplaying this in a unique way... I have done parts of the main quest to get to a certain point where I get a good buff that makes me immune to diseases and plan to eventually ditch all of my posessions minus my armor and sword and do a permanent playthrough of tamriel rebuilt where I am not allowed to leave the mainland due to disgust of me having to be the "Nerevarine".. My Character doesn't like the emporer's plans for him and has decided to flee Vvardenfell for the mainland forever... I will play it that way and never return to Vvardenfell again... That won't happen right away but When I make the transition to mainland morrowind, I will be ditching all my gold and have to earn it back by doing quests. That won't be easy to do. I also have to ditch all potions, alchemy ingredients, armor pieces minus the lord's mail and Boots of Blinding Speed, but am allowed to keep those and my Daedric Dai-katana. I may LP this playthrough I may not... We will see...
Here is what I did so far in my playthrough. I will update this post every day with what I did in the game that day:
-Created my character
(A Nord warrior)
-Did the quest in Seyda neen that involves solving a murder
of a taxman to get money
-Bought default weapons, armor and spells
(Iron Longsword, Iron armor, hearth heal, etc)
-Got the silver long sword from the chest near the shipreck near where
the odai river touches the bitter coast.
-Got into foryn gilniths shack (gotten by the death to taxman quest)
Slept till the assassin came and killed him.
-went to ebonheart and got the Assassins off my case by talking to
Apelles Matius/Ascene Rane
-Went to mournhold and back
-Traveled to Balmorra
-Reported to Caius cosades (I will do only part of the main quest)
-Did the first two main quests
Day 2
-Did the Vivec Quest in the main quest (the first one)
-Did the next main quest (The one where you meet the Ashlander informant)
-Bought sujamma in ebonheart
-Went to dren plantation, activated all 5 bottles of sujamma and killed the guy
who has the daedric dai-katana. Daedric Weapons at level 3!
-Bought the spell Levitate... Asbolutely a must in morrowind
Day 3
-Leveled up my character to level 4
-Bought more sujamma at ebonheart
-Killed the guy who had the lords mail.... Just barely did it... Took 40 tries....
Used that armor from now on
-Got some items from that cave, sold them..
-Acquired the boots of blinding speed
-Used a spell to resist magica to equip the boots without blinding me
-Took these screenshots
Day 4
-Did the quest in the main quest where you meet Sul Matuul
-Got the bonebiter bow
-Leveled up to level 5
-Explored Tamriel Rebuilt and got lost in the Mainland and had to find
my way back to vardenfell without an easy way to do so... Ended up walking
through the Mournhold area and then the swamp NW of that and killed a durzog
for the first time... Levitated my way back to Molag Amur and then was back
in vardenfell..
Day 5
-Leveled up to level 6
-Did the next 2 main quests, the kill dagoth gares quest and the corprus cure quest.
The corprus cure quest gives you 100% resistance to all diseases and that I wanted
before doing anything else, especially tamriel rebuilt.. Didn't want to catch
vampirism in the mainland and get lost trying to get back to an area to cure it
only to take more than 3 days and become a vampire.
-leveled up my character to level 7 and trained my alchemy a bit with money
gotten from selling items found in Illunibi and corprusarium... I need more magicka
to cast lock opening spells that I will make later to open 100 point locks...\
Day 6 : The Final Preparation for Tamriel Rebuilt stuff
-Leveled up to Level 10
-Trained alchemy a bit more but it wasn't good enough to use mark and recall which I found...
-Looked around for a fortify attribute spell but came to the conclusion that either morrowind
code "patch" or Morrowind "Rebirth" is preventing me from making a better one at spellmakers,
which sucks.. I wanted to boost my intelligence by using a fortify attribute/soul trap glitch trick
but failed
-Did a few quests for House Redoran. In the process of delivering the cure disease potion to
Ald Velothi I found the amulet of shadows. Tried to sell it to the mournhold Artifacts museum
but the fat bitch there didn't recognize that I had it! Tried to sell it to the mudcrab merchant but he
wouldn't buy it. Creeper did but I sold it at 1/3 price. Used that money to train Alchemy more...
-Got almsivi intervention at the balmorra temple
-Trained my Mysticisim with money gotten from magical items found to allow me to cast
Almsivi intervention more often...
-Did a few sidequests to earn money... Delivered Rassa's shirts to Ald-ruhn, and also did
the Rollie the Guar Quest...
-Did a quest that gave me a diamond for a reward near caldera.
-Re-Raided Arknthand
-Raided a few dungeons and sold weapons to get enough money to buy some Sujamma for emergency purposes in Tamriel Rebuilt dungeons/outdoor areas
- Decided that in tamriel rebuilt that I would go there with no items but my armor (Lords Mail),
Boots (Boots of Blinding speed) and my weapon (Daedric Dai-katana) and have to find a new bow,
new armor, new potions, new alchemical ingredients new everything in the mainland... May make
it really hard but so be it...
Day 6A -
Explored a lot of tamriel rebuilt... A lot looks the same but it's so well it doesn't matter...
-Traveled to Ebonheart and warped to Almalexia. Found the Harrumat Diamond mine
and then stole 2 diamonds from it... Since I had no money on me I had to earn some.
-Then Took a silt strider to Akamora and took one to Ranyon-Ruhn
-Sold the Diamonds for money.
-Looted caves near Lothanis. Got some armor and weapons to sell. Also went into a
ancestral tomb for more stuff. Killed a lich at level 10!
-Returned to Ranyon Ruhn and sold all the weapons for a lot more money.
-Traveled to Bal Oyra and then cleared out the musk flies and then levitated my way
west to Firewatch...
-Joined the mages guild there so I could use their free stuff
-Took a long treck to Necrom only to find out it slowed down to a crawl on my system
-Went back to lothanis and did a quest where you have to save a womans husband
from daedric cultists only to find out that she and her husband are both cultists... Got
600 gold from her from this...
- Visited the western side of tamriel rebuilt... Liked that more than the east...
Day 7
Fixed a big bug causing bad looking tree models to show up everywhere by installing a new
grazelands tree replacer. That made it look more ugly but still it was worth it...
-Traveled to Sadrith Mora (not off limits to me) to buy a water breathing spell.
-Used that spell to help me with Pearl Diving... Collected several Pearls and then
sold them to the alchemist at Almas Thirr. Will keep doing this over and over again to earn
money...
-Trained my Alteration to 40 thanks to a tip from SorcererDave in his Morrowind LP
-Checked out the route from Almalexia to Ranyon-Ruhn
-Started doing quests for the Imperial Cult in Mainland Morrowind
-Kicked the crap out of a really hard orc enemy named Gra-Ghosh the skullkeeper, found
a full set of orcish armor and another daedric weapon, sold some of the armor and the weapon
to make me rich! Saw SorcererDave get pwned by this orc. I did NOT!

My Epic Adventures in Skyrim!
Ok... I am a huge skyrim fan and a huge fan of Black Metal music. Right after I got into the black metal/Folk Metal band Windir I heard some people actually recreated Valfar (Windir's founder who is long passed away) as a skyrim follower. I thought that was cool. They even played Skyrim with Windir's music in the background... For ages I wanted to try this combo myself... But I didn't really want to return to skyrim so quickly...
But 2 days ago I did... I downloaded the following mods...
-SkyUI (Improves the user interface)
-Skyrim Script extender (needed for various mods)
-Monster Mod (Adds new enemies into the game)
-Skyrim Flora Overhaul (Improves the foliage in the game)
-Tundra Defense (Allows me to create an outpost and defend it)
-Animated Prostitution... (For humor value alone)
(It somehow broke though)
I am attempting to play skyrim with black metal or folk metal music playing in the background rather than the original soundtrack... I chose the following bands to listen to:
Wintersun
Windir
Moonsorrow
I could not believe how much better this made skyrim "feel".... The original soundtrack was too happy... Hearing atmospheric black metal like the forest seasons by Wintersun and Nordic folk metal like Windir playing in the background made it feel way better... I felt like I was really a viking...
This is what my character looked like... He was inspired by the Valfar Follower but he looks like the Real Valfar did...
It maybe a little bit off but it looks close at least...
I spent something like 12 hours in skyrim with black metal music playing in the background. It made the game a hell of a lot more fun.... This is what I did...

-Went to Bloated Mans Grotto and retreived Bolar's Oathblade
(I believe this is what this foresty indoor area is called, it's w/s/w of whiterun somewhere

C) Bought leather strips and iron ingots there
D) Crafted iron daggers till my smithing was as high as I could get it.

helped greatly thanks to tundra defense!
Day 5:
-Found the steed stone west of Solitude that boosts your movement speed and carying capacity
-Leveled up to Level 15
-Went to Volunruud, killed all the enemies and obtained the sword Eduj! The Fight with Knevel the tongue was quite hard, he does tons of damage, but I had become ethereal and it worked!
-Improved my smithing to 60 by doing the same method as on day 4
-Imrpoved Eduj to make it flawless...
Day 6:
Installed the following mods:
-Ultimate Lush Overhaul
-Climates of tamriel
-Immsersive Weapons
Explored all of the areas (holds) to see how the mods affected the game...
Tried to install Skyrim Redone and Verdant grass but they had big problems, for
SkyRE it crashed due to incompatibilities, verdant caused too much slowdown for me to use
Day 7:
-Looked around in the reach, got my ass kicked by minotaurs, all in the hope of finding a really
good sword I found around there in a tower... Random generator refused to give me the right sword...
-Using the following method, I boosted my smithing to 70
A) Sold tons of weapons to rustlief
B) Looted the secret chest near the dawnstar mine that contains Akhari's inventory
C) Sold the valuable items to merchants
D) Used the money to buy iron ingots and leather strips
E) Crafted iron daggers till my smithing was as high as I could get it...
-Added stone walls to my tundra defense outpost because I have never fortified it....
But 2 days ago I did... I downloaded the following mods...
-SkyUI (Improves the user interface)
-Skyrim Script extender (needed for various mods)
-Monster Mod (Adds new enemies into the game)
-Skyrim Flora Overhaul (Improves the foliage in the game)
-Tundra Defense (Allows me to create an outpost and defend it)
-Animated Prostitution... (For humor value alone)
(It somehow broke though)
I am attempting to play skyrim with black metal or folk metal music playing in the background rather than the original soundtrack... I chose the following bands to listen to:
Wintersun
Windir
Moonsorrow
I could not believe how much better this made skyrim "feel".... The original soundtrack was too happy... Hearing atmospheric black metal like the forest seasons by Wintersun and Nordic folk metal like Windir playing in the background made it feel way better... I felt like I was really a viking...
This is what my character looked like... He was inspired by the Valfar Follower but he looks like the Real Valfar did...
It maybe a little bit off but it looks close at least...
I spent something like 12 hours in skyrim with black metal music playing in the background. It made the game a hell of a lot more fun.... This is what I did...
