Embracing Nostalgia
By Data
You want to go back to that time where you sat in your bedroom playing Oblivion, right? Maybe you owned it on a factory fresh Xbox 360, or maybe a shiny new PS3... But those times are gone now. So how can we get you back there?

The Preparation
The game is installed, you've isolated yourself in your nostalgia chamber of choice, made it clear that nobody is to "ruin your journey back to Cyrodiil" and put up the map that came with your copy of the game (not essential but enhances the experience).



You are now ready to embrace the nostalgia.
The Nostalgia
Boot up the game, as it's loading close your eyes and remember where you used to play the game, find the feeling of that era that's been stored in your head for all those years...

The menu music will begin and just like that... You're back there.

As you bask in the nostalgia, letting the music take you back, you can keep your eyes closed and when you're ready to open them, go ahead, the game will be there waiting for you to make a goofy character all over again.
The Tears
As you sit upon your steed wearing its glorious armor... Try not to cry, it may stop you from seeing the game and it's ill-advised to ride a horse blind.



If you do feel the tears streaming down your cheeks however, it's ok, they're happy tears.

I may not have the same level of nostalgia for this game like some of yall here, but as someone who can picture this post with Dark Souls, it is beautiful.

I think it's probably now time to re-embrace nostalgia now TES: IV Remaster is out.

Nerd. Dorkazoid. Gooner. Build a time machine, Doc. I love this game but not as much as you clearly.
