How Are You Biding Your Time?

Post » Wed Sep 01, 2010 7:24 pm

Let's face the cold, hard truth guys -- November is a long long long time away - so you have to do something in the meantime. The question is, what exactly?

I have provided a few choices, but feel free to post if you are doing one I have missed. :)

I've been spending my time in Morrowind, Oblivion, Dragon Age 2, Nehrim, ect. Occasionally reading on what set in stone facts have been revealed but trying to otherwise stay away from the hype.

Various RPGs including WoW. When the GoW 3 Beta comes out, that for as long as it will last. More TES until the Release of GoW 3, GoW 3 until TES.

Personally I'm trying to go through Oblivion and Shivering Isles (never completed the last one) but I think that won't last me for long enough. :(

Also, I'm afraid for my hardware...I think I'm either going to go insane with happiness when the stats come out and I can play it, or else murder someone. :pinch:

You like the gameplay trailer? Then you'll probably fall in love with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8n1c3hsLZo&feature=relmfu. It's a rewind/slow-motion anolysis of the entire trailer by IGN. Yep. I love it.

As to what I'm doing? Well, firstly, I'm scouring the Jeralls, just drinking in the mountains in anticipation. I'm also (obviously) scanning the internet at a furious rate, finding information and somehow memorizing it better than calculus. Mmyep. That's helpful. I'm also playing Morrowind, and I may consider grabbing the other games. I'm low on money. Heh. I've also already starting drawing up a character. I have personality traits, physical traits, preferred weapons, quotes, and now I'm doing some freewriting to really get his personality out. As a writer, I enjoy making characters (which is why I fell madly for Dragon Age: Origins). I'm also getting into nerd groups at school and we are all raving about Skyrim over horrible pizza and possibly radioactive dessert. It's pretty great. It helps that the game comes out, oh, within a WEEK OF MY BIRTHDAY?

Damn I need a job.

Playing:

Torchlight (I so want to complete a set of armour any set will do)
Beyond Good & Evil
Baldur's Gate - I got the expansion and sequel versions - and the tutu mod - have never played it before
Oblivion - occasionally

Modding Morrowind - like that will ever finish

And of course checking this forum at least every other day - well maybe every day - okay maybe twice a day...

I picked up DA2, I'm going to be playing MW and OB, I'm playing Halo: Reach, the L4D maps are being ported to L4D2, GOW 3 beta. I'm reading the new Tom Clancy book, searching for movies I haven't seen. Maybe I'll re-watch some favorites; LOTR, Star Wars ect. ect.

And maybe I'll re-read the LOTR books.

Other than that I'm just going to live my life.

I'm biding my time by playing WoW, Morrowind, and trying to play Oblivion, although that's hard for me.

Playing Oblivion (might play Morroiwnd soon_
Preorderd Skyrima n waiting
Ignoring all the hype, acting like I don't care when just like the Cake, it is a lie
Other




Other: Buying and watching anime imports and just alot of TV and doing school stuff, trying to just play Chrono Cross on PS3 than AFTER I beat it play other PS1 games and beat them than go on, unlike what I always seem to do when I get another game I have not started and start that than go back to other games and repeat the insanity....Also TRYING to enjoy my Kinect that I just got -___- its pretty damn difficult

And making stupid wallpapaer like the one in my avatar item from an anime I am importing, just did some color changing and added stuff

EDIT: Realize I really need to start reading all the books I have

Well, you know, going to work, exercising... the usual day to day stuff. I'm psyched that there'll be a new ES game this year, but it won't distract me from real life.

Same here, besides coming to this forum and reading up some on the game. (through here most of the time)

I voted for the whispering of arcane words to myself, even though I don't have a basemant, and playing other fantasy games (that's what I already do)

EDIT: Realize I really need to start reading all the books I have

Something I need to do too, and just got through one book I was reading 2 nights ago.

For me, it doesn't get hard till it hits Autumn. Then time will seem slow! The question is what do I do then? :glare:

Selection:Other

I have been biding my time by scanning and replying to these forums as well as playing earlier TES games on my off time.
During the day, I am sketching and modeling new weapons, armour and objects to mod into Skyrim as soon as the Creation Kit has been released.

Some sketches of mine for pole-arms to be released. Note: My modeling skills surpass my horrid sketching skills.

so, there is an option for "staying away from the internet"... why would someone be on the forums of Skyrim while simultaneously avoiding it.

I'm playing through Morrowind determined to actually beat the game I've put over a hundred hours into. I'm also going to beat daggerfall redguard and Oblivion given the chance.

After playing Daggerfall for a few hours I'm actually kind of saddened because it feels like the newer games are just missing so much. They should improve upon the ideas in the earlier games and not just toss them out D:
