So The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim has already been released, for those of you who are lucky enough to have gotten it at 12am, I give you a hearty FUCK YOU!!!!! I'm only saying this because I wish I could have been there at 12am to receive my copy as well. Oh well, I will continue to drink my hatorade. Luckily I will be getting my copy tomorrow some time after I get off at work, get the family ready and then drive us all down to Modesto to pick it and then go to Victoria's Secret so that the wife can get herself something nice. So to be realistic, I will most likely not being playing it until 8am Saturday morning due to having to sleep when we get home today after getting the game around 2pm. But when I am finally able to play you bet your ass I am going to play a good 2 hours straight(that is a long time for a parent).
So I had an interesting conversation with one of my co-workers tonight. She was complaining about her Boyfriend taking time off to play Skyrim, I think she said he took two days. Then she tells us how she is taking time off to go and see the midnight showing of the new Twilight movie when it comes out. I said that that is pretty much the same thing except for her boyfriend taking two days off instead of one and then told her that if her boyfriend had only took one day off then wouldn't that be the same thing? She insisted that it is not due to a movie only being for 2 hours and that you can play a game longer and you don't have to play it that night. Then I asked her, "Cant you just see a movie on another day?" But yet she still continued to tell me that they are not the same thing. I personally think that they are, one person is taking the night off to watch the midnight showing of a movie, the other is taking the night off to get his/her copy of a game at midnight so that they can play it. Each person is taking a night off for their "event", seems like the same thing to me, video games and movies are both sources of entertainment and some would argue that they are in a way the same thing except for one you have more interaction in the world you are seeing.
Just out of curiosity what do my readers think about this, let me know in a comment below this post, I'm interested in hearing other people's perspective on this topic.
Until next time, later.

The Off Time(and games)
I am currently on my days off, I enjoy these times because I get to spend a hell of a lot more time with my family then I get to when I have to work. My family is my everything and the more time I have with them the more I get to bond and enjoy what we have to offer as a whole, its very good.
So, I have been getting a considerate amount of views lately, it is nice and I have to say that i enjoy it very much. I hope that whoever is coming here and reading these blogs is able to take something from them, even if its just a couple of laughs or even if you think they suck, oh well. Anyways, thank you to all of you who have been coming here, it means a lot.
So i have been paying attention to some indie game developers lately. Some of them are actually pretty cool people trying to make a living doing what they love to do, I think that they should be getting more attention then what they get. So if you come here to read my blog then you need to check out a game called Legends of Yore, you can buy it at http://www.legendsofyore.com/ or you can get it on your iPhone as well, either way it is an amazing game. To best describe it, its an 8-bit dungeon crawler with Diablo like features, not as many but you can still see and feel the resemblance, needless to say I have been playing like crazy. Also on a side note, the creator of the game is a super nice guy, you can get to know him a little better buy following him on Twitter @cokeandcode you will not be disapointed.
Mojang Studios makes a great game called Minecraft, if you haven't heard about it yet then you have been living under a rock which has been under an even bigger rock. You can check them out and Minecraft at http://www.minecraft.net/, so do it. Follow these guys on Twitter @carlmanneh @jeb_ @Kappische @JahKob @mollstam @minecraftnews and @notch
Next up is a game called Terraria, oh my lanta, this is a game I have been playing like a mad man and am feverishly waiting for the next update to come forth. Really though, I want it now, like RIGHT NOW!!!!!!! This game is initially Minecraft in a 2D setting but it integrates so much more from other games like Castlevania(plat forming and weapons), Megaman(boss fights) and Action RPG's(battle system and item buying/inventory). You can check out their website at http://www.terrariaonline.com, I personally own their game off of the steam network, as of now I have no idea if you can get them from another site, but really, go get it now, you will not regret it. Follow these guys on Twitter @Tiyuri @Demilogic @confuzzledyma and @Terraria_Logic
So i guess this blog turned in to me giving you some ideas about awesome games. Your welcome ^_^
