Attractive people being gaming nerds or attractive people claiming to be gaming nerds is interesting. Film at 11.

Her face in those photos reminds me a bit of Cyndi Lauper.

Djkb: Yeah yeah, whatever. Can I play it now, please?

This.

Gonna be a long day.

I think she looks good.
As does the game.
Her new boyfriend looks like Charlie Day.

Are you writing haiku in a Skyrim thread?

Vodka Zombie: Are you writing haiku in a Skyrim thread?

Completely unintentional. But awesome.

Skyrim I want now.
Once again work obstructs fun
Die stupid clock, die.

We are on Turdas, Sun's Dusk 10th and there remains

0 days / 14 hours / 32 minutes / 1 seconds
(52321.548 seconds)

Before the return of Alduin

Rev.K: Skyrim I want now.
Once again work obstructs fun
Die stupid clock, die.

Only a few more precious hours.... then SKYRIM DAY!

I repeat.

SKYRIM DAY!!!!

Dragonborne are you
Here to save the throne from evil
Someone pass the ale

\Skyrim haiku thread

Double wield spells
I can't fathom the awesome
Minutes are hours.

Pre-ordered from Amazon
Will doubtless arrive late.
Wanted the map.

Skyrim approaching
Wish I could fly a dragon
I'm okay with this

I'm stuck here at work
While my PC waits for me
And plots to bluescreen

I wait for midnight
A word echoes: "ZERO DAY PATCH"
I wait one more hour

;_;

Seth'n'Spectrum: Tick.... tick... tick...

GAH.

[Looks over shoulder, glances at rest of office.]

[Press 'T']

You cannot wait while there are enemies nearby.

Dammit!

+1. Hahaha...

Quest: 'Employment' failed!

When I get home, I'm seriously considering napping finding a bedroll at an abandoned camp and setting my alarm clock for moving the wait slider to like 12:15.

Somewhere a trailer park is missing it's queen.

miss diminutive: Game looks amazing
Computer can't handle it
Why can't I be rich?

PS3? Cheaper than a new PC.

can't wait to test it out on my 280GTXs SC in SLi mode

:D

btw, what card is that?

kingoomieiii: This $85 video card will run the game.

Maybe she has a laptop. Would make it a substantial investment to play, then.

miss diminutive: RexTalionis: PS3? Cheaper than a new PC.

Moving my character with two weird sticks instead of a mouse and a keyboard? I say good day to you, sir.

you don't like playing with sticks?

How YOU doing?

\dunno how that works, but go with it ^_^

If you haven't yet,
Read "Things I Ate In Skyrim" (^)

Bingo. Minecraft causes my poor baby to chug it's little Fujitsu heart out. Besides, I still haven't played Oblivion yet. Maybe I'll get it first and then move on to Skyrim once I finally upgrade to a better rig.

Since that's the case, why not build your own? You can buy pieces when you have the cash, over the course of a few months or so, and then either assemble it yourself, or ply a local nerd with alcohol until the agree to assemble it for you.

somedude210: btw, what card is that?

It's a picture of the one I linked, an HD-6670. DX11-capable, $84. 800MHz, 1GB RAM. Very good entry-level card.

Bonus- Normal-length PCIe card. Not a giant-ass 14" monster*. And, no additional power connector required.

Myself, I run two 6950s that I'm THINKING about watercooling to cut down on the noise.

alcohol, please. we'll do it for pot or sex :D

\or even sexual pot
\\but you can build a decent sandy-bridge computer for \\\want me to get you a parts list?

miss diminutive: That's basically the plan. I just recently moved so I'm essentially living out of boxes atm. Once that gets over and done with slaying dragons and making levitation potions will become a priority again.

You can get a drunk nerd to do anything, Miss. Unpacking should be included.

Unpacking without destroying the fine crystal, well, that's more problematic.

I'm really looking forward to it, but I'm just too busy to buy a copy. In between bouts of crying myself to sleep I rationalize that by waiting a while I'm avoiding launch-day bugs, letting the mod community start to create amazing extra content, and letting the price drop down a bit and/or go on sale.

It doesn't really make me feel better, though. The next couple of weeks of SKYRIM MANIA are going to be torture.

miss diminutive: Vodka Zombie: You can get a drunk nerd to do anything, Miss. Unpacking should be included.

A drunken, skinny armed, nearsighted, blinded by the newfound glare of the sun nerd unpacking my precious valuables*? I think plying some rugby players with booze might be a better alternative.

*total value of all my valuables is ~ $46

I'd be less worried about your valuables and more worried about your ... unmentionables.

Nothing like finally seeing everything unpacked and realizing that you only have one old pair of panties in the house.

Scoring a 95% on Metacritic so far.

Geotpf: Takes five minutes to punch your credit card number in here (and an hour or two to download it):

http://store.steampowered.com/app/72850/

Sorry, let me rephrase that. I'm only too eager to punch my credit card in for the game right this very second. What I mean is, I'm way too busy to have such an appealing distraction at my fingertips. There's just way too many things that wouldn't get done while I sink the next month into Skyrim.

I'm getting it tonight, but probably won't have the time or inclination to play it anytime soon. Might come back to it in 2012.
