Wizard timing on the steam release. If I had my calculations right, it releases officially at 9:30am on the 11.11.11

I'd heard it was meant to be midnight or some such nonsense. I think I might go for a 24 marathon!

What with my sleeping schedule, I am going on a 72-hour marathon! It will be awesome :D

(After 72 hours, I have school.)

Nice. How is your memory holding up with this new sleeping pattern? I don't need alot of sleep normally, but I do find my concentration slips if I don't get at least 4/5 hours a night.

In truth, I feel more awake than ever.

Edit: And my memory seems to be as good as ever, if not better (though that might just be the increased awareness.)

So, has anyone watched the leaked footage of the first 20 mins or so of the game? I found it, but can't bring myself to watch it. Don't honestly know why I searched for it.

Must be strong...must not watch...

Damn the elusive off-topic. For some reason it really took me a while to find this. Must be about tending to quickly scroll downward after loading a page...

But Skyrim. I feel so conflicted whether I should dedicate my time to TOR or try to put up a schedule for the Skyrim also. It seems my university studies are going to suffer... a lot. I've been too weak willed to resist watching the leaked footage. It seems my finger has a will of it's own when it comes to clicking Skyrim videos :roll:

I think I'll be pleasantly surprised when Skyrim comes out, but so far the game hasn't been on my mind at all. For some reason I am not getting overly excited about this game, even though I know I have more then enough reasons to be so.

Weird... maybe this is just a gutfeeling telling me it's overhyped? That or my mind is just to clouded with swtor, lol. I think I'll go for the latter! xD

I resisted watching the leaker footage. Anything the spoils the story, especially the start is a big no no.

I think Skyrim will be the best RPG of this year and 2012. I've seen the video's where they have spoken about the things they've learned from making their games, most notably the tips and tricks picked up from Fallout 3.

Skyrim looks to have the atmosphere of Morrowind, combined with the polish and beauty of Oblivion and that random open roaming vastness all their games have.

The perks being added at level up is just another win.

Super video about the music and sound of the game.

I once attended a Welsh celtic festival when i used to play in a Pipeband. We were the guests of a 30 strong mens chior. One night after a gig we were all sat around drinking in a small pub when one of the chior got up and started singing. One by one his fellow chior members stood up and joined him in harmony. The thing is, they were all spaced out around the pub.

The sound of 30 of them, each with a powerful voice was immense and something I've never forgotten.

I'm on the fence about Skyrim. Feel kinda burnt out on fantasy, yet I do remember enjoying Oblivion, not that I ever actually did any of the quests. I just became a vampire and wandered around. Never played Morrowwind. Seems like half the videos you guys have posted have been taken down for copyright infringement. Pretty silly, you would think they would want people to look at the game to get stoked about buying it.
