Anyone else realize that Skyrim is just a game?

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..

Jesus christ, they are just joking and fooling around and being excited as a collective community, patting eachother on the shoulders and pretending that it is christmas again.
Let people have some fun dammit, dont take everything so seriously.
If someone writes "lolz i wont have any social life when skyrim comes, ill lose my job and wife and 3 kids to the plague", don't be naive enough to take it 100% seriously. Geez.

Skyrim may be just a game, but it's one of the best games. No other game series gives as many hours of enjoyment.

Yeah i get nervous when i start to realize its just a game.

The phrase "just a game" is hopelessly inadequate. A moment's thought will show you that a new meaning to the English word "game" is emerging over the last couple of decades. Remember that a couple of hundred years ago "game" just meant something you hunt or shoot.

What we "gamers" appreciate simply cannot be dismissed by this "just a game" label. The OP is indicating that it's not real so is therefore somehow less valuable. Shakespeare isn't "real." Virgil, Tolstoy, dikeens, Balzac. Bugs Bunny. And they have all enriched my life hugely. Tell all the world's art critics and literature professors that what they love, what illuminates their lives, is "just a story", "just a painting."

I'll go further. I'll get "real.' Politics is real. It is also ugly, sour, cheap, sinister and degrading to the human spirit. Bugs and Will and Charlie (above) and Skyrim are inspirational, life-enhancing and magnificent.

And while I'm being a pompous literary type let me drag in T.S. Eliot:

"Human kind cannot bear very much reality."

[The reality being that your name is an anagram of toilets]

......... The months of waiting have clearly driven me right off the *(*#(*#%ing cliff.

Dunno about you lot but I'm waaaaay past ready.

Frothing loons

but spare a thought for them,the game could never be as good as they think without direct neural interfacing.

when the loons get the game they will spend more time trying to justify it that they will lose all the fun of it.


so...long sleve jackets...check
forum full of loons...check
release date friday....check
plan that beth forum will mysteriously crash...check
excuse for steam bawls up...check

so everythings ready for another let down...i mean great game...lol
