What else is more important? What else have I waited 5 years for and will take 100's of hours of my time and fill it with joy?

I don't begrudge people enjoying sports (even though I don't care about most sports in the least). This is just like that, like staying up until 2am just to watch the World Cup live, or agonizing over my fantasy football league, or something. Like the Olympics, this only comes around every few years; I don't see anything wrong with celebrating among like minded people about something I enjoy. I'm not even that excited. I'll probably go to sleep after an hour or so when I get back from picking it up at midnight. BUT, I think there is something meaningful about sharing that experience with others, be it with friends or on an internet forum (both in my case).

Hey, its been a long first semester of college, its the weekend before finals. I've got my favorite tin of chew, some vodka and a nice long weekend without any studying or homework. So yeah its just a game, a game I have been looking forward to for close to a year, because The Elder Scrolls is my favorite franchise. Thankfully I have been able to make an even out of this because I am in need of some R & R. Therefore for the first 3 days of the games release it is more than a game, after that I'm sure I'll spend many more hours with it. Besides whats the harm to you if people are so excited for something that will make them happy.

So you will marry a beautiful Amish woman then? :)

Most people here aren't taking themselves too seriously, of course we know its a game. We're just happy about it is all.

Yes I agree. Some people even can't sleep due to thinking about Skyrim. Seriously?!

And as for football (either kind) being called a sport, I must say this: The only true sports are mountain climbing and bullfighting - everything else ( except Skyrim ) is just a game.

I completely understand what you are saying... except for the fact that you don't make any [censored] sense. Skyrim is more real than your life. The Graphics are better than outside...and I think you need to speak with psychiatrist.

"Ooooh! You touched my Trolololl"! - Günther Skycrab

Seriously? Who died and made you Master Chief of what qualifies as "life?"

I probably wouldn't mind the exagerated sense of self importance if you didn't have this compelling need to shed rays of your brilliance upon all us unworthy peons in the form of condemnations of a lifestyle choice.

Gaming IS life, just as much as work is life, six is life, and football is life, etc. It is a PART of life. If you honestly believe that life came with some little rule book and there is a "right" way to live it, aside from what makes you personally happy and does no harm to others, then I truly feel sorry for you. The propaganda appears to have succeeded.

The matrix has you...

If, on the other hand, you were joking, well... I guess I just don't get it. :shrug:
