    What if Skyrim was set in 2012?

    There’s been no shortage of Internet memes and in-jokes spinning out of The Edle Scrolls V: Skyrim since it launched last year, but this one is one of our favorites of the bunch (so far).

    Created by the Grosjean Brothers Productions, this short film imagines a Skyrim experience set in 2012, and gives many of the game’s little quirks a 21st-century makeover. The video is just shy of four minutes long, but it’s four minutes of quality, arrow-in-the-knee laughs.

    Here’s how the creators describe it:

    Skyrim is still thriving in the year 2012 and Belethor’s distant cousin Gregethor is running the shop with Digurd, Sigurd’s distant relative.

    Buckets still get put on heads and coin purses still get thieved, and throwing fire and ice at each other is still the preferred way of settling a dispute.

    You can watch the video below:

    And just in case you haven’t played Skyrim yet, make sure to check out our Games of the Year breakdown for an explanation of why we named it the Best Role-Playing Game of 2011.

      There's no link to the video. But, Yahoo staffers are NOTORIOUS for fraud in their articles, so no real surprise.

        The link is there the guy is just dumb. You have to click on Digital Trends to get to the main website the posted the news, the video will be there.

        Then, why not give people a "click here for.." link? Forcing the readers to figure it out on their own is counter-productive.

      Best game to come out of 2011

        too bad that it doesn't run for #$%$ on the PS3. Lazy #$%$ cross system developers. They didn't code it to take advantage of the PS3's dual ram so it only sees 256 instead of 512. And no patches in the foreseeable future and if history is any indicator of patches to come, there will be none. Nothing like buying a broken game with zero support.

      If I had all the time in the world, I can see myself trying out this game. I only have 30 mins of free time and I'm on yahoo typing these garbage comments. time not well spent.

      Where the hell is the link to actually view the video? Dear Rick Marshall, if you're going to do a news story about a story about a video, at least blatantly point out where to see the video.

      The Elde Scrolls: Skyrim? Now I'm not the best at grammar but I think this is wrong. It seems every yahoo article is not edited very well.
      • Blind Mice 4 mths ago
        It's copy and pasted from Digital Trends. Yahoo has nothing to do with this article.
