Ahh, okay. I get it now. I think they were leaning more towards the second meaning, seeing as how that's the more well-known one, and plus Oblivion is just about hell, so yeah. Makes sense.

Well oblivion isn't about hell. Oblivion is a state of removal from the world, so it's like a "death", which is why it's confused with being a hell.

Chaos is the hell-like realm that most people also sometimes confuse with Oblivion. Oblivion is confused as being a realm because things are described as being sent "into oblivion" as though it were a place, but it's really a state of being.

In warhammer Chaos is known as "the warp", and it is here that the decadent energies of the Eldar built up to eventually spawn Slaanesh, who immediately killed the Eldar whose minds were responsible for his creation (talk about biting the hand that feeds you). [/factoid]

A good example of oblivion would be if you were to send an email to someone who had blocked your address - the email itself would be said to have passed "into oblivion" as it will forever remain in an unread state until the universe collapses, at which point it will not have existed. In this regard oblivion is considered a sort of condemnation.

Well staple the stomach, the Elder Scrolls has caught my interest again in these long years.

Oblivion looks truly fantastic, it has the landscapes of games such as Syberia, and the gameplay like the Zelda Series.

I can't wait :catslug:!

More enough on character creation and such. The system has superseded all of my previous expectations. It's just going to be so hard to choose only seven major skills!

30 somethin' new screenshots.

The Argonian looks absolutely horrible. I'm hoping that's a unique case, cuz Jesus, is that ever ugly.

Damnit Kimon! I just washed these underpants...

I'm so glad I have five hundred dollars saved away.

:D

Hey, good news! It's not the final build of the game, so stuff like the Argonian and pink-eyed horse are all messed up. Yay for not-crappy Argonians!

I guess the screenshots were just removed from the site. At least I was able to see them before it happened.

Yes they were. 'Tis a shame.

OH LORD.

Godzilla has been inbreeding. Blech.

I certainly hope that Argonian is only part of an early build... because you're right, Kimon. That's effin' ugly.

I saved all them purdy screenshots before they were taken down, so, huzzah for me. Now for the bad news:

One snippet from the audio states: "We are moving the launch of Elder Scrolls IV to our Second Quarter based on Bethesda Softworks requiring addtional development time to ensure the title meets gamer's high expectations..."

Read the above articles for more info.

Publishers can't just blatantly lie about these things, so I'm taking it to heart at the moment.

I got a flannel to wash my face! When it get's dirty I feel disgraced. Do you like Horlicks? Do you like chps? I've got a hundred pairs of lips.

I about crapped my effin' pants when I saw that Oblivion got pushed back, mainly because I spent all of my money on prepayment for the console and the game, and now I have no game for which to be in the state of playing* on my shiny new Xbox360.
