Whats your point?

The fact that so many of you are getting upset proves my point lol.

it only proves that alot of people are making fun of this thread, yes its a game duh, are we excited .... yes to the point it has scared you, and we have EVERY RIGHT TO BE THIS EXCITED. most the stuff we say are jokes anyway. have you seen football fans at a football game, or when LOTR movies came out, dont get me started how COD fans act when there excited. its no diffrent. if you have not made this connection yet and are still asking this question then all i can do is :rolleyes:

"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:

I agree. and life is a game too. Might as well play Skyrim, we're all gonna die anyway.

What is life beyond an amalgamation of experiences? Some experiences hold more weight in our lives than our others and how many of said experiences can one remove from one's life and still be able to truly call life life? Base existence, perhaps, and therefore the bare necessity for what constitutes as life, which is simply being technically alive, can go without these experiences, but a true life that one finds satisfactory should be filled with experiences... many of which should be happy experiences. Without these things, why bother living? Technically, no, Skyrim does not, nor does any game or anticipated event/object, have any bearing on your ability to technically live, but such things are a crucial part of our individual, distinct selves and Skyrim may be, for many of us here on the forums, a great milestone and extremely positive experience. Taking away everything but food, water, oxygen, and shelter won't kill you and therefore are "just ", but what kind of life would that be? Is Skyrim technically just a game? Sure, yet the high amount of anticipation built for it clearly shows its importance to people. So what?

Personally, I plan on replacing my life with Skyrim. Ideally it will have enough hours of gameplay for this to work.

Title.
I'm ultra excited for Skyrim, I cannot wait. But it's not my life. Reading these boards..some of you people honestly scare me.

This is just a game, it's not life. I'd be bummed if I couldn't play, but I'd move on.

Anyone else realize that Skyrim is just a game and it's not the most important thing? Ive waited for 3 years for this..cant wait. But it is just a game..

My favorite series. I'm the biggest really devoted fan out there.. (well okay not really.. but a huge fan nonetheless). However, a friend is staying the weekend, so I'm not getting Skyrim right off the bat. It's a game. Not a priority when it comes to people. Now when it comes to schoolwork..

This is just a game, it's not life.

You sir do not understand.

Skyrim is not just a game. It's a way of life.

» Tue May 08, 2012 9:52 am

Thanks for describing what reality is and what isn't, I'm sure I wouldn't know the answer without you.

» Tue May 08, 2012 9:31 am

Of course it's just a game, but it's quite possibly the game of the year as well!

Is it really that surprising that people are excited about it? :shrug:

At least I haven't heard of any deranged and disgruntled Skyrim fans threatening to blow up game stores:

You must love it if you're on the forums to complain about it buddy. How does this affect you anyway?

Yes, I realize Skyrim is just a game.

I also realize my life is just another life on this earth in this incredibly vast universe.

I am choosing to saturate my life with Skyrim for the next long while. :obliviongate:
