Well I have, like many, pre-ordered Skyrim and I'm now in the painful stage of agonizing excitement and the lows of not getting enough info on Skyrim.
This blog will hopefully record every ten hours of my gameplay during the game, through the highs, the lows, the plot twists/spoilers and much more. Just remember, these blogs may or may not contain spoilers, but I will use

The fifth installment in Bethesda's Elder Scrolls franchise is set in the eponymous province of Skyrim, where the ancient threat of dragons, led by the sinister Alduin, is rising again to threaten all mortal races. Only the player, as the prophesied hero the Dovahkiin, can save the world from destruction.
Every ten hours.

I knew someone would say this, but I'm just getting an early start so my basic idea isn't already used by the time I get the game.
The early bird catches the worm. Especially when hes 4 months early he can set up a stakeout hire get through HP customer service play Half Life 2 episode 3 have a child and watch the lord of the rings movies.
Never looked forward to a blog post before, but this concept seems extremely interesting and original... bravo.
so are you blogging the gameplay of the game when you play it or waiting for the game. If it's of the game itself then you are a little early to posting this...unless yor goal was to be the first to the idea.
@TEHMAXXORZ: Status update? There's only a little over a month to go. How have you been passing the time?
Whenever I want a game real bad, I impose a media blackout after a couple of early previews. That means no quicklooks, no reading of reviews other than just looking at the scores. (I know I'm already getting the game, the score checking is just to make sure it's not a bomb). I do this to preserve the wonder of playing the game and discovering it for the first time.
So, my current media blackouts:
Skyrim
Deus Ex: HR
Dark Souls.
Dark Souls is different since it was the quick look that convinced me to get the game in the first place.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution came out a couple months ago, but otherwise I am with you on this idea.

Yeah, I'm waiting to get a new computer so I can play it there. So, this blackout is going a little longer than expected.

Well, I've been playing through Oblivion, making a 'perfect' character that hasn't rushed through the story, I've played some Gears 3, UT3, a lot of Terraria and a lot of Minecraft. Garry's mod would be a great time waster till 11/11/11, but, alas, it doesn't work for some reason.

Pics of all the sweet dragons you've made in Minecraft?
@Ravenlight: I would, but I don't have any. I was thinking to make some pixel art of Alduin, but, wool is hard to farm. Stupid sheep...

I was going to do the same with Skyrim, but I broke down and watched a bunch of videos.
