Those remaining months (with the exception of the last month of waiting) will go by quickly enough. It's only when I'm 1 month away from getting Skyrim will I become impatient and begin to question my sanity as the days drag on, and losing sleep when the waiting comes down to a week. By that point I'm expecting many threads about how they can wait no longer with plenty of people freaking out and the mods working overtime with exploding threads. The wait for the Fall Out 3 dlc Mothership Zeta alone had threads going by in the matter of a few hours in the unofficial waiting thread, I can only imagine how bad the wait for Skyrim will be like (temporary shutdown of the forums perhaps?).
Unfortunately the only game that I will be buying to help tide along the waiting will be Deus Ex human revolution with nothing else of interest for me.
