once oblivion kicks in, I'll ground myself to my room. most of you will do the same, I trust. society as we know it is about to end...

:waiting4oblivion:

all I know is there will be a significant hole in my social life after it comes out

Haha.. I doubt I'm going to play it so much, I think I'll play most in the weekends and maybe only around a max of 3 hours.. I dont usually play so much..

will the hole be in your social life or will ppl like fuzzy b a minority and social life will become the hole?

I'd like to see what would happen if everyone were to get a copy of oblivion for christmas. economy world-wide would ascent and media will go out of buisness. ppl would just buy supplies and play.

a dark future i see for mankind. on second thought, aliens could take over the planet as long as the game is as good as mw and i'll b playing it

edit:there goes my degree in journalism

It's funny, I'm really worked up about Oblivion and say to myself I love playing Morrowind...but when I play it i play for 30 minutes and get bored. Maybe oblivion will hook me for longer but i felt a bit lost inthe last one.

I know the feeling! I think the same way... I think I only play Morrowind to try out clothing/new race/new faces kind of mods and that's it basically. Good thing I downloaded some good quest mods, and my determination to try out all of the factions is still alive or I would seriously be too bored.

I'm probably going to be losing my life in chunks, e.g play for 2 days solidly and then don't play at all for another day or so...

Yes I've already beat the MQ 2 or 3 times so now my char. at the moment is just wandering soo it gets boring, i find that i don't play morrowind as much as before.

In the start on Morrowind, I was a real newbie to the game and it went bad. So after the second character I came up Arneth. Played all the quests and expansions and came up in a level of.. 40 or 60 was it

But I've never done it more then once, think its all boring. To go through the long boring quests..

I need to beat the MQ of morrowind.. with out cheating, and then Mournholds and Solostheims too..

But i cant do any of that untill I get my damn headphones fixed.. I can't hear anything =#

why did we have to learn that you would lock yourself out??

I just need to get to lvl 2....then my worries would be over.

If I ever manage to getting a life (So close to having a GF... to bad she is going out with my neighbor...) it wil instantly dissapear when Oblivion, Zelda, or Halo 3 come out. Yeah I will have -27 of a life this time next year.

^ I concur. This topic seems (however true) somewhat pointless.

Zelda OMG. That game sucks dude. LOL

OMG U R TORKING IN L337 SP34K 2 MUC. And you might want to specify which game? I think they are all pretty good games, but I foundno game impacting social life apart from maybe the FF series.

most of the Zelda game Rock! what are you guys talking about. ok i don't know why but i like them.

CONGRADULATIONS!! You just won "The stupidest thing to say to a video game fan ever!!" Your prize is... You get an all expences paid one way trip to heaven! note: we can not be held responsible for any missing organs before you arrive.

if ppl (like me) play zelda on their athlon64, there must be something to the game. however, this does not relate to the topic. oblivion will be much more addictive. :smelling the glue on my seat:

Well it will last alot longer then Zelda (Game might as well be endless) but not really more addictive. Its long not addictive to the point of never stoping after 3 year strait. Get what I am saying?

It's nice to see this turned into the official Zelda and flaming board... try to be a little more considerate to people's opinions mehrunes...

Anyways... There should be a large gaping chasm in my human social interactions after Oblivion comes forth :salivates:

i bet you these boards will be a ghost town once ob comes out...
and zelda doesn't suck

We are to discuss Oblivion here I suppose, and how it maybe will interfere with our everyday lives when it is released.....so we might stick to that and don´t turn over too much on this Zelda-thingy whatever it may be huh ?

Get your imagining heads on for a minute.

Now close your eyes and read this.

Imagine if on the day your pre-ordered copy of Oblivion came in the post, there was also another soft parcel in it. You read the manual with intacipation, then gasp at what it is. You open the wrapper and take out a full body suit, mouth agape. You slip it on, put the Oblivion CD in the PC, and attach the suit to the computer. You double click Oblvion after installation and put the earpiece into you ear. A split second of pain is then followed by immense admiration. You lok around you and you are no longer standing next to your computer, but in a dungeon. You can smell the rotting bones, you can feel the slime of the walls and watch it drip off you. You pick up a piece of meat that was your character's lunch and nibble at it, and you taste the burntness. You then hear some footsteps, and you stick your head aainst the bars, the coolness of the metal pushing in strips against your skin. You see the emperor come up to you, and he speaks to you. You ask him if he likes playing Morrwind, and how battling Dagoth Ur was like, and he says you are a madman but he did like the continent when he visited. You nearly have a heart attack from the shock of it all, but yes...you are now in the world of TES!

WOW I would love that, dout that it will be that was but it would be cool if it was

...Wow, u all really put a game above your social life? I am... sneezing like a little sick kid...

Me and Fuzzy seem at about the same point

Aside from the fact my computer would be begging me to kill it after installing Oblivion, that would be awesome! I always hated how I could not really get into the PC version of Morrowind...

Of course it would all be real people as well, and they would be a teeny bit better than radiant AI. So you could do whatever you wanted....but you would also have a little electric shock pouch by you stomach that shocked you when you took damage. And when you died...

well it would really make you a good rp'er, you would learn how to dodge attacks really, really well

Aye. And the game would last so much longer as you could spend a lot of time training, because that would be so...awesome. Just imagine you could actually live in amedieval-esque world. Come to think of it...I could develop this then make a whole range of games! Eg..Roman life. Medieval life. Futuristic life. D-day landings without the death. I could even do a school so we have all home-schooling. Guitar lessons . Any concerts you wanted to see. Sims. Theme park world (That is a good idea!). Millionaire life. Driving lessons. Dating sims..the possibilities are endless.

hey so if I can help i'd gladly become a millionare with you...

Err.. Kinky?

That would be cool though. Plus, everyone who owned one could be home schooled. Though if someone hacked the system, we'd have interesting classes

I want my two minutes back.

heh heh yes

I tried to read what channler posted, but it's really hard to read with your eyes closed.

no need to go outside ever again (sarcasm)

Hehe, that's the good part. I can make it internet accessible so that in the medieval life, it is al real people. But the connections to your brain make it so when you run in game, you actually exercise in real life. Therefore there can be designated years when everybody lives in a diferent age, and whatever the date was yesterday shall be known as Konradude day.

But i dont have a flag for that.

ohh well i'll just burn some villages in a salute

not exactly, it's a carefully thought priority list. It goes like this:

girls

rpgs-bodily functions (it's a tie)

Society on a whole

food (alot of people put food higher)

action-adventure games

turn-based strategys

fps's

rts's

well, that's my order at least.

There should also be a straw coming out of the game sistem so we won't starve of seven day gaming sprees.

I heard about a guy yesterday that die after not leaving his computer for 49 hours. He just fell over dead. He was playing starcraft of all games. If you're gonna play to death at least make it an rpg. so any way, ya, a straw would be awesome.

Wow...btw, isn't it eery that the Raneniser hasn't stopped the pretty off-topic chat?

It's close to becoming locked. We'll see how it continues on from here. -Rane

It's not too off-topic.

I suppose it is still about a total loss in social life.

Of course it's still on topic. Ya, Oblivion will kill Everyone I knows life, all of south-west Missouri won't leave their houses for months.
