Ok so I am a long time fan. I saw the first trailer. The ones with no screens. You had me at Elder Scrolls. Anything Bethesda puts out I buy, simple as that. I love their games. Always have since Arena. My personal battle is that I really wanted to keep myself from seeing any screens. Not going to submerge myself like I did with Oblivion, digging every day, scratching for something. November no problem, I have kids, a life, just blink and 3 months have past. There is always chores to do around the house, I could walk the dog right? Going to let it happen naturally, drink some beer. I am zen. I can do this. I want the game to amaze me. Not build it up in my mind just looking at screen shots and videos. Not this time. I am strong. All will be new.

Wait that's Max Von Sydow's voice? Man that guy is cool. Maybe just a peek, shivers, giddy like a school girl...hmm...dragons?...finally?...scroll around on the main page....try to find any secret hot spots....wait no...I am zen. Just going to watch it 50 or 60 times that's all. Not this time. I can resist. Oh that was good. I am so strong. They don't own me.

Newsletter? Hmm new video? Nothing new I am sure...just then same old vid....DAMIT!! You made me do it. I'm not going to click those anymore.....really....no I'm serious.

By the gods....I love you guys. I hate you. Leave me alone.

What in the hell just happened? :blink:

I think he just experienced his first nerdgasm.

I have nothing to do these days but wait. The cat hates me, I lost my job to a damn robot (okay, so it was a couple of convicts out on work release)... and living with my folks at 23 is downright depressing (when it doesn't make me homicidally enraged, that is). Every day since I got fired, I've been sitting here wallowing in my pool of pity waiting for something to come along and make me smile again. The only thing that has kept me busy, is the continual search for -something- I'd like to do as a career... so that I can finally stop amassing student loans and get a 'Real Job'. I needed something else.

Something to feel good about.

And then I saw the Teaser Trailer for Skyrim...


Instantly, the doom and gloom were gone... replaced by a warm, tingling sensation which flooded my skull with all kinds of terrifying seizure-like side effects. My words wouldn't formulate. My thoughts and my actions couldn't seem to line up.

In that one moment, I was rendered utterly catatonic.

And now, here I am. Every day. Watching and waiting while the community gets more and more riled up like an angry nest of hornets. So excited have we all become, that we lash out at one another for things what, given any other day, we might not have bothered noticing at all.

Anticipation. It's all anxiety and anticipation. It makes madmen of us.

It makes men mad at us.

Mikes ment at madus.


Moving on.


I don't know who you are, SpynalTom... but I know the depths to which we can all be sunk. Sanked. Sinken.

The need for more becomes like an addiction, and the only drug that sates it is information. Any information. Any mate for intion. Nothing but more, more, more will fill that hole now, and the maw grows wider every day.

Cling for dear life while you can, because we still have a long haul ahead of us before release day is here.

So much time, so little to do but wait.

PS: We love you too. In a hateful, spite filled, utterly platonic sort of way.

th...that..was............something different..............................arghh who am i kidding i feel the same way :drool:

That... that was beautiful, man.

i feel close to you guys right now.

Group hug? Nah, didn't think so, back to fireballing green trolls, and getting headshots on legionaries with the Gobi rifle, sounds like a better way to wait it out.

I just checked my calendar.

It isn't November. :sadvaultboy:

"Sack?"
This isn't an LBP Forum.

One of the reasons why I dont read this forum as much as I want to, is because I get too excited with anicipation... Good post op.

dont worry mate its a long wait for us to :thumbsup:

You know, I really hated the movie "Rocky Horror Picture Show".

Why must your acursed topic subtitle remind me of it?!

haha i know what you mean, i tried to avoid things like forums aswell knowing they would quickly swallow my life.. but its just too hard.. the main problem now is even if skyrim is the best game ever produced the aniticipation for it will either kill all the fans before hand or make the game seem like less than it is.. its not fair why did they announce a whole year in advance.. the announcment trailer would of been fine being realeased when the gameplay trailer was done

Yeah i understand you...it like i am in a hospital in pain...and i am waiting for a nurse to give me an injection of pain-killer...atleast 8 March we will have a DA 2! It is no so strong pain killer like Skyrim, but it is something ! :ahhh:
I hope it wasnt exaggerating metaphor. :wink_smile:

your post leaves me with one question.. can anyone think of a way to induce a coma which will definetely only last until like novemeber?

We can try Eric Cartmans method and freeze ourselves until November...of 3011. :hubbahubba:

i guess we'd then be waiting for elder scrolls VII .. with the increasing length in gaps between games they only had a chance to release one more since Skyrim

I would chose a more reliable friend to unfreeze me....not an equivalent to Butters <_<

I think by the year of 3011 all video games will be in chinese. :rolleyes:

I spent a total of 2-3 watching those two videos that Bethesda put out, it's pretty disgusting.

The videos or your lack of devotion?
