Ah, but that's where you're wrong, he was being 100% for realsies.
Of course the OP was being "for realsies"
He was stating that because it was on the 11th, he would be busy playing skyrim, I can also see the point of view that it would seem like a coincidence. But like someone said, haters gonna hate.
edit: So in summary, I do believe he is a "real fan"
