    Since my computer is not capable of handling this game, and I need to play it as soon as possible, I have to go through the very unpleasant experience of attending a midnight launch, how I envy you PC-Preloader`s out there.

    Finally, the game is so close now. But I just learned that I have math test next week so I won't be able to play as much as I want to. It's making me sad.

    Layout and file extensions in data folder seems to be almost exactly the same as all previous Bethesda games, should be good for modders.

    @david3cm: well those launches are often COD events, a large section of the COD audience, is the Madden audience. These are not our people.To clarify both audiences have a high proportion of Super-Bros.

    I have heard of people having success with other games on Steam and VPNs, these almost always involve spending money though.

    @Ravenlight:

    @Bam_D_Leprechaun

    I joined two medium length HDMI cables using a HDMI switcher so I can pipe the game from my desktop(in my room) to the 50" tv in the living room. By a happy accident my room is directly above the living room. Im gonna sitback with a wireless 360 controller and emjoy PC quality visuals and mods as well as double the screen, without the hassle caused by having an unsightly and large gaming pc in the living room.
