In the minutes following 12:00am on 11-11-11 (a Friday) I'll be holding my Collector's edition of Skyrim. After the midnight release however I have to go to work at dawn so no playtime for me yet. If I started playing it would be hard for me to stop. After work however the gaming will begin and end when I pass out! Two days ago I ordered a nice Skyrim themed hoody and a case of Bawls Energy Drink (Pictured Left). If you want some click the linked name. Bawls is one of my favorite energy drinks besides NOS and they are very hard to find; I looked in TN, VA, WV, and MA.
I've been tweaking my settings with my Dazzle recorder to get better quality resolution for gameplay and I plan on recording a lot of footage and editing it Monday and/or Tuesday. I know youtube will be filled with videos on the game but I will share my experiences with you all. With Bawls Energy to drink, Doritos and burgers to eat, the Skyrim hoody to keep me warm, and the company of my girlfriend I should be all set and I hope to play Skyrim for at least 10 hours straight; Friday 7pm-Sat 5am or more if I can stay awake!
I hope whoever is getting this game enjoys it and they can remember this game in years to come because I know this game will stay in my collection for years and I'll be playing it for many many months. FYI- I have played Oblivion for a total of more than 5000 hours with 23 characters. That's 208 days straight. That's like 7 months back-to-back! You may laugh but Oblivion in my favorite game and I hope Skyrim can match or beat its meaning in my heart and memory.
Later Gamers, remember to save often and game hard.
