I was sitting at work, thinking to myself about November 11th when Skyrim is released, and planning that day out.

Here's what I'm planning:

07:30: Wake up, go to kitchen, put kettle on, make two cups of tea for me and my wife, feed my two little Kajiit cubs and have a shower.

08:25 Open my safe, get my pre-order receipt from GAME, the ￡20 gift voucher I got from my mother-in-law on my last Birthday (she's cool beyond belief) and stuff 'em in my wallet.

08:30 Leave my flat, jump in my car and make my way to the shopping centre, prepare for serious road rage towards bus drivers, taxi drivers and elderly drivers in Austin Allegros.

08:50 Park up and head straight for the Game Store, push my way through the crowd of WAG wannabe's, hoodies on shoplifting sprees and elderly shoppers with shopping trolleys en route. Swear at any of those consumer surveyers who try to stop you to do a survey that takes half an hour instead of the two minutes they promised.

09:00 GAME opens, rush in, grab my copy and take it to the counter, pay for it and GTFO!

09:05, pay for my parking ticket, get back to my car, negotiate the Croydon one way system, keep the road rage pumping and get home ASAP!

09:25, Get home, hopefully the Kajiit cubs and the wife will still be in bed, put the kettle on and make more tea (important to keep her happy)

09:35 put the Xbox on and insert that magic disc. Hit 'A' and lose myself for several days...

Just over two hours, hopefully.

Anyone else planned their 11-11-11?

Predownload and wait for midnight unlock. Play.

One of two things, or possibly a combination fo the two will occur.


This forum will be VERY active


or this forum will be VERY dead.

The only plans my Husband and I have, were going to the Midnight launch together. I pretty much like to keep that part unplanned, however i'm sure there will be plenty of " :ahhh: " moments.

You guys are a freaking keeper :wub:

(considering I don't have class)
Wake up around 12:00

Check the forums and/or wiki for a complete spell effect/spells list. If exceptable grab wallet.

Drive down to store, pull receipt and cash from wallet, and buy game.

Drive to friends house, pick up my medicine, drive back to home.

Play game.

Glee and/or moan a several hours later.

Pick up at midnight.
Play until 6:00 AM
Power Nap until 10:00
Make coffee. Drink coffee. Black!
See wife and kids off to the pool.
Close Blinds. Crank up 5.1 Play until they get home.
Dinner.
Play with kids until their bed time.
Remind wife how she's so great for letting me play.
Play more with TB's X41's
Repeat for weekend.

We'll see how long that lasts? :wink_smile:

Edit: Oh Rats! No pool in November. :banghead: I'll have to send them to a movie as they'll be off from school

Anyone know what day 11.11.11 is?
Like, monday or tuesday? I'm hoping for a friday or a thursday.

Normally I would download it and play it, but I love going to midnight releases you can meet some really interesting people there. I met my wife at the Halo 2 midnight release at Gamestop. Definitely not looking for another wife, but still, interesting people.

Friday I think

Friday.

It's on a Friday but that means it's being released Thursday night. Does anyone know if United States Public High schools are off on Veterans' Day?

EDIT: WHAT? I was sure it was on a Friday!! (((
It's on a thursday

Probably be here in the forums and refreshing the pages in desperation for spoiler free first impressions.

If our local GAME has a midnight release I'll probably go.

Still a bit of a wait though.

I have preordered the game from "Amazon" and i might preorder it from "Game" aswell to double my chances of getting a copy on the release day! ...In the meantime if i see it on Steam i will Buy it through that.

I live on an Island (Isles of scilly) so i can't just go to a shop and buy it

When i do get my copy though i plan in sitting in my PC chair for a month without doing much else apart from the odd hour's sleep here and there. Work will deffo be going out the window for a month haha. I love being self employed (I have to put in some extra hours through the summer though to pay for that month off)

I will put a DO NOT DISTURB sign on my back so my misses and kids and all my family know to leave me alone.


I'll also need to buy a copy for my kids for the PS3...i was trying to hide it from them but they seen the trailer now ...Damn ! lol

One way or another i want it on the day of release..

Gonna buy two, one for PC one for 360, tell my siblings when they come over to f off and don't bother me while I take the PC version <3

dang. that list is gonna be hard to follow up. ok,

11/10/11 at 11:30 PM: make my way to the gamestop

12:00 AM: receive game and stare at if for five minutes while trying not to drool on case

12:05: make my way to my vehicle and drive home

12:15 get home and (ATTEMPT) sleep for a bit.

12:30: after rigorous unsuccessful sleep, play game. for several hours

SEVERAL HOURS LATER: pass out from over exposure to awesomeness and lack of sleep

SEVERAL MORE HOURS LATER: wake up in the hospital with pissed girlfriend.

It's a single-player game that will be around for years - I'm not too concerned about playing it at midnight.

I'm getting the retail boxed version, so I'll probably get it on the 11th or 12th. I'll be excited, but there's no need to rearrange my life around it.

Ask my wife and mother in law all day long if I pretty please can play Skyrim that night.
