I'm just thinking "Man, I haven't even gotten to Oblivion yet!"
I guess that's what having two kids does to you.
I have so little time for games and a lot of these games keep getting longer! Probably only get 2-3 hours a week to just sit back and get into a game between work, kid time and spending time with my wife.
I Finally Finished Witcher 1... And decided to play Witcher 2 because I had just finished Witcher 1 when it came out.
I guess, the good point is that gaming is cheap for me! Dragon Age for $10, Oblivion for $15...

Yeah I looked at Skyrim and just said "Well, I'll do that when the GOTY edition comes out for and is $7 on steam".
I will be buying Diablo 3 on release though

I find the Diablo series easier to drop 30 minutes in and come back later to. I will be getting it because all of the gamers I know will be getting it. I still remember using Dial-up to connect to my friend with the original Diablo trial edition.

Not on a sale day, in fact 7 bucks is pretty accurate for a 75% off sale.

GOTY - $20
I'd have no qualms paying $20 for it, even knowing I could wait for a sale.

I fondly remember carrying my desktop over to my buddy's place so we could play weekend marathon Diablo LAN games. Ah, those were the days..

Nov 11 is a holiday in Canada. I work the next day, but then I have 2 or 3 days off.
Considering the last 6 months I have put almost all of my spare time into finishing my basement, I plan on using those days off for 10 hour marathon Skyrim sessions.

feel free to skip oblivion unless you want to spend a lot of time installing mods to fix it.

No way I paid anywhere close to that though :P
My trigger price is < $10. I got Fallout 3 for $10, Borderlands GOTY $7.49, The Hitman Collection for $7, Max Payne Bundle for $3.74, Metro 2033 for $5, Grand Theft Auto Complete Pack $12.
Its like I have some compulsion to collect games I don't have time to play
EDIT:

$6.79 - not bad

I had to book my holidays back in February but luckily, I booked the 14th and 15th off. I work the 11th, but I'll have 5 days off to play with Skyrim. Whee!
