I love that there's a gamer thread!!
Things I'm excited about: Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. I will be putting hundreds of hours into that, guaranteed. Mass Effect 3 as well and I might get into the new Star Wars game next year (I think I'm going to wait awhile, I hate signing up for anything with a monthly subscription unless I'm not playing anything else currently.)
I am building a new PC for Skyrim (yes, huge geek, and yes, I am building it and not my husband)... just ordered the parts yesterday and can't wait. If I got pregnant and was put on bed rest, I'm sure I could easily just game for several months...
