Go for a jog or something.I happen to live near a beautiful big lake and I sometimes jog around it once and then go home.Then you can just relax and play Oblivion or Black ops Zombie mode(Funny as hell) with friends.Thats what I do.

deleted my original message, since it was mostly just me being irritated at ignorant people...

anyway, i want skyrim really badly, too... but i dont have any problem playing other games... infact, im getting atleast a dozen or so between now and when skyrim comes out.

gotta keep myself busy so i dont put anyone through a wall from frustration.

You don't even meet the age requirements to buy Skyrim. OR my idea of Canada is very far from the truth. OR you got another addiction besides gaming.

Dude,thats sounds just like where I live!But I bet mine is even more boring than yours!

I know how the addiction to Bethesda Game Studios works - I find most other games inadequate now, and frankly havn't purchased any New game since New Vegas. That didn't have Quite the BGS feel to it, so I'm still playing lots of and modding for Fallout 3 every single day. When Skyrim comes out, it will be the same - I won't be interested in buying any other games because I'll be too-busy playing and modding Skyrim, and on and on.

Ruined my gaming experience? No. But BGS has set the bar So High that I'm utterly spoiled now, and compare everything I Might buy to how good it's BGS anolog is. Almost got Boarderlands and a few other titles, but in the end it just wansn't Fallout 3-quality.

I blame Bethesda. :yes:

Wow, dude.. You should really go out and experience life!

What I'm 19 and I don't meet the age requirement? Did Bethesda make the first ever 20+ only game?

I have this problem too, I think its some kind fasting thing I like to do. Basically starve myself of games for a few months and when I actually get it, its like WOW!!!!(No not that WoW) I recommend reading some books on various subjects, this time of anticipation is a good time to catch up on any books you like to read. Or whatever .

I loled at the paradise<>mall association.

I don't read books. Only stuff on the internet.

Why not?I love reading H.P. Lovecraft stories.Well...thats about it for me....

I hate reading I'd rather watch a movie or play a video game.

I tend to ignore games that focus on graphics and superficial details too much. Games like Yinsh, or Chess are great games, but they lack a certain narrative potential that can be exploited in the RPG genre. Games like Starcraft are capable of implementing one type of narrative, but the generic epic quality of real-time strategy narratives gets tiring after a while. On the other hand, I feel like the actual potential for RPG's as bona fide 'games' is still developing, since I find that most of the good ones (e.g. Mass Effect, Morrowind, Fallout, Neverwinter Nights, Dungeon Siege, Daggerfall, Knights of the Old Republic) tend to feel more like slightly more interactive 'choose your own adventure' stories. The game mechanics themselves tend to be very simple, and most of the appeal of the games comes from a sense of expansiveness; generally speaking, when I figure out the constraints on what is allowed in a game, the game becomes boring if the narrative has ended. This feature is fine for linear games like Mass Effect or Knights of the Old Republic, but it poses a problem for sandbox games, which need to have some element of lasting appeal besides 'stimme'. Sandbox games don't tend to exploit the capabilities of dynamic systems to introduce sophistication to the game. For instance, there is a very simple solution to the 'a.i.' problem (although this solution could be very impractical to implement); if everyday activities are turned into player-controlled activities, then the behavior of npc's can be augmented by mimicking the behavior of the player to some degree. This is a general idea of what I think a good game ought to be: something that's more fun to play than it is to make. I look forward to Skyrim being released, because the game seems to be implementing many of the things that I wanted before the announcement. Do I expect all of my inner gaming desires to be satisfied? No.

@M3LA
I just viewed your profile. Your the coolest 70 year old ever. I wish I had a grandfather who liked gaming and airsoft.

So true.Live your life the way YOU wanna live it.F the douchebags.

i did too! and couldnt get into it either.. its a great game, and makes me get extra hyped for skyrim, but its the swords, shields and fantastical world of skyrim thats lacking


absolutely. id say skyrim saved your life. for now.

Haha yeah for real I'm 17.

Youre missing out, even the most generic and poorly written novels are still better stories than the majority of well scripted video games Ive played(and I play primarily RPGs).

Make a sweet snow fort.

He said 12 hours is the MAXIMUM.

Skyrim hasn't gotten to that point yet. Thankfully they're other games that are coming out (Dragon Age 2, Dissidia 2) that can keep me entertained until later on in the year.

Two Worlds 2 isn't that bad of a game. Its not the greatest either, but It's really long and has kept me somewhat interested even though IGN only gave a 6.0 rating.

But I agree with you. after hearing about skyrim and then yesterday hearing the podcast with Todd Howard, I haven't felt like playing any other games either.

I hate reading books, I prefer reading from computer screen. So far I've enjoyed movies and games way more than any book.

I bet you an http://www.neoteo.com/Portals/0/imagenes/cache/CB34x1024y768.jpg ($/€ 700) that you begin to read "http://search.barnesandnoble.com/A-Game-of-Thrones/George-R-R-Martin/e/9780553573404#chpLower_Trigger", and you won't stop until you complete all the four books avaliable (by now) in the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series. Try it and see for yourself (and try reading the sample on the website I've posted).

Buy a Nook or Kindle. Then you can read the way you like.

This is a pretty interesting troll thread though; if your life is truly so sad, I'd say it's because of video games, not the lack thereof.
