Martinis are normally stirred.
Except… Vodka martini made with potato vodka which is more oily and was the one widely available when Flemming wrote Bond. So you need to shake it for the mix to work properly.

Shaken allows to make a better mixed vodka martini with potato vodka (the one available when Flemming wrote Bond).
Stirred is better with grain vodka or gin.

Skyblivion Coming out this year. I personally think morrowind was the high point in elder scrolls series scenario-wise but is aged very poorly. Patching and modding the hell out of it might be worthwhile. Nehrim is cool. Fallout new Vegas works well. Cyberpunk has already been mentioned several times.

So the rich feel it too.
