Want every Bethesda game free for life? Just give birth on 11/11/11 and name your kid 'Dovahkiin'

[Elec0]

Yup, this is the prize that Beth was talking about. It's one heck of a price, though.

I'll admit, when I first saw the title all it said was, "Want every free Bethesda game free for life? Just give..." and I assumed it was spam.

That said, that is a really fucking stupid thing to ruin someone's life over.

 

[Radeonx]

That's pretty stupid, given that the games aren't even that great.

I think someone might just take up this challenge.

I mean, to me, Dovahkiin just looks like a foreign name from a different country (Sweden springs to mind for some reason). I just have a weird feeling that someone will actually do this.

 

[Kopikatsu]

Personally, I think Dovahkiin is a fairly awesome name.

Anyway...I doubt they really expect anyone to do it. Besides, what would they do? Tattoo 'GIVE THESE PEOPLE FREE GAMES!' on your arm? A barcode?
[sub]If they were serious, they would probably just mail them to you or something, but that isn't any fun.[/sub]

 

[Veldt Falsetto]

I think Dovahkiin is quite cool...sure you can shorten it to...er...dove? keenie? some sorta weird stuff that'd sound acceptible. But I can't have my kid called Dovahkiin Hurd, that'd suck so I'd need to change my last name to something odd too just so it'd fit, just go mental and call it Dovahkiin Skyrim hah.

Watch Bethesda go bankrupt the year after Skyrim comes out.

 

[ImprovizoR]

If it was Bioware I'd go around impregnating women all over. Bethesda makes 2 good games in, like, 7 years.

Thats.. Something

I lol'd. Anyways, I'd really like to see the person who actually does this, so I can take the next flight out, go up to their house, walk in calmly, and punch him repeatedly in the face. No really.

That's stupid. I can understand people selling themselves out for a stupid prize (I mean everyone has a price), but selling your own child out? That's as low as anyone can go (... well not the lowest, but damn close).

I'm concerned the disclaimer didn't mention if the kid would be as buggy as their games or not.

 

[Gitty101]

I'm not giving up my figure for free Bethesda games. Just saying ^^

Now BioWare on the other hand...

 

[Scrumpys]

Done, sorry previously named billy child

 

[Zannah]

Now given both me and my significant other's love for bethesda products, and with the name not actually being that bad - I'd probably honestly consider that. But then I can't, and here comes the depression, trying to swallow me up again <.<

 

[thenumberthirteen]

Wait! March - November is 9 months! I need a fertile woman who likes Bethesda games NOW! I'll split the prize.

 

[Vulg]

Hmm, while I did have someone well and truly up for this before the reward was revealed**,
I am not so sure this is worth it, the price of any games Bethesda will release until I die that I want, would be insignificant towards the alternative. Oh well.

Amusing though.

[lacktheknack]

I dunno, "Dovahkiin" is pretty cool. I wouldn't mind being named that.
