"Mead, mead, mead. Would it kill 'em to get any beer now and again?"

"Stupid bees and their stupid honey."

A quick informal poll for the people who're playing Skyrim:

When That Guy (you know the one) offers you a share of the treasure in exchange for rescuing him, and then runs off screaming that you're a fool and the treasure will be all his and JUST because you killed all his friends AND the giant spider that was about to eat him he's not scared of you?

How many steps did he get before you fricassee'd his ass?

(Oddly, I have now heard four people independently complain about That Guy (you know the one) doing this.

That last one, yes. Come *on*, mod community, it's been like 36 hours.

"According to Steam’s tracker, Skyrim’s rocketed to 231,593 players (as of writing) during its first 24 hours. For reference, Modern Warfare 3′s currently in distant second at 78,161. That’s sort of, you know, insane. It’s probably also a record number of people concurrently falling to their knees, gazing up into the falling rain, and cursing a single interface designer’s name."
