Yikes...

Damn I haven't posted in a bit... The game so good. Thieves Guild was awesome, and it actually took some work to finish off. Just did that today.

But I've noticed, that with Skyrim there's a lot more 'casuals' and whenever I see people talking about it, they're always going on about "OMFG WUTS UR LEVEL!?!? WUTS UR ____ LEVEL AT!?! HAS U DUN DIS KWEST YET!?! I HAS!!!!". This is where I get annoyed and also mad that Skyrim is so popular. All of the CoD fans and whatnot who don't even know what Morrowind is, constantly try to compare their characters to eachother. Sure let them play it their way, they paid for the game fair and square, but this leaves me to wonder, how many people are playing the game, to play the game? I've logged near 50 hours since last Monday and my Smithing is 100, sneak is 92, and those are my highest skills. I'm only level 35 and NO. I haven't finished the Companion quest line. NO. I haven't even stepped foot in the College of Winterhold. NO. I haven't beaten the main story. Am I going to rush to do these so I can brag about what I have and haven't done? Nope, I'm going to take my time and if I get distracted, then whatever. I'm going to enjoy the game for what it is, and not just use it as some sort of prestige thing. I'm not going to be that guy.. "Pfft, I've had Skyrim for 3 days and I'm max level!" Because, bear with me on this one.... I don't care. Have fun with the game your way, and don't put others down because you went Runescape berserk and grinded all of your skills.

With that said, I want to say, I'm not trying to rant, I'm just feeling pretty hipster, and wishing this game was as popular as Oblivion was, because it's hard to talk lore with someone who "thinks the Oblivion Crisis would make a great Elder Scrolls game".
