Skyrim

It's an emotional rollercoaster of a story like the one that we have here that can really encourage someone to try their hand at a video game that they'd otherwise rain check on. Of course, this is Skyrim that we're talking about. If you've ever played Skyrim before you're probably very familiar with the fact that the game can inspire all kinds of ridiculous nonsense. Those side quests are something else, man. 

This guy's story about his adventures on Skyrim and especially in regards to an infuriatingly loyal doggo, end up perfectly capturing the experience of playing Skyrim. It's a tale as old as time, and we're always going to be a fan of it! 

This guy's Skyrim experience might make you think you've been playing the game all wrong. This emotional rollercoaster of a Twitter thread ends up being a very successful representation of what it feels like while playing Skyrim. 

Even though Skyrim has been out forever, we still find ourselves booting it up on the regular just to make too many iron daggers, accidentally railroad ourselves into a stealth archer class and one-hit any bandit who dares mess with us. We love the game and we love the torrent of Skyrim memes that fell from it.

We also can't believe this Elder Scrolls game has been out for like 8 years and it's still better than ever. Whether you're in it for becoming a potion-fueled God, living out your kleptomaniac fantasies, forging a relationship with an adopted dog,  or just trying not to accidentally become a stealth archer again, this game has eaten up too much of our time and we love it. Here's some memes about all the time you've wasted in Tamriel.

We needed these terribly entertaining Skyrim dad jokes like 5 years ago. But bad jokes don't have an expiry date, so thankfully they're just as good/bad as they have always been. This is what every Skyrim fan needs in their life. Get ready to groan/laugh. 

This dude's illustrative story about the implications of Skyrim's open-world environment perfectly captures the ups and downs of how one decision can set the course for the arc of one's damn game. In this case, it sounds like things turn out for the best. Buckle up and enjoy the ride. 

Those hilarious times when game design doesn't line up reality.

Before the backlash ensues about running a good 'ol green text story that may or may (most likely) not be entirely true, just hold your horses and appreciate the creativity evident in this sexually depraved little tale. If the dude's goal was to bring back the kind of glory stories that'd keep his friends entertained long into their older years, than mission accomplished. Can't imagine this is what his dad had in mind for his son when he encouraged him to get out and explore the world though. 

Gamers divulged their unpopular opinion on beloved games or reddit yesterday and the reason why they failed to 'get' those games. We've rounded up some of the best answers and have some grade-a memes to match.
