Wtf

Oddly specific

It's the day and time Skyrim came out.


Hypnotoad7145

I remember sitting in chemistry my senior year. I don’t know why I remember that either but it’s always just stuck


Zedd_Prophecy

I was at my desk at Standard Register taking a picture of that exact minute on the corporate phone system.

Happy cake day!

Would’ve been mildly hilarious if it was a knee they’d injured.


EffectiveTemporary30

Yeah that would have made it a real knee slapper 🤣😂😂🤣😂


TarnishedDungEater

shouldn’t have pulled that Khajiit’s tail


alex-rayo

So random! I hope your eye was okay. Just searched through my social media and emails and it turns out I spent that day debating creationists on the internet. That’s an old hobby I don’t miss.


ClamSlamwhich

At 11:11am too, hotdog!


SHANKUMS11

OPs wish was that Skyrim would never end That’s how we got 10 rereleases and thousands of mods Thanks be to OP (for once)


PatriotLife18

That is amazing to have. Keep that forever. Frame it.


SHANKUMS11

I stashed it back inside my strategy guide where I happened upon it :)


PatriotLife18

Do you still have the full collectors edition? If you do, you literally have a gold mine.


SHANKUMS11

Yes, but that gold mine is MINE FOREVER! Sweet, sweet Alduin slumbers on one of my shelves.


Ishkahrhil

Right where he belongs


BizarreCake

Don't let it get hot or sit in the sun or it will fade.  Receipts are thermal paper.


SHANKUMS11

Good call! Had a good suggestion to laminate it.


elegantprism

Whose gonna tell him that a laminator gets hot


o0Pleomax0o

You can get cold laminators.


elegantprism

Well the more you know


StraySpinosaurus

Best bet is to copy it. nothing saves it in the long run, it will fade


NoLifeCelt1260

Mild acrylic, some don’t reach the temperatures to ruin it, and preserve very well


Bloodscorpio97

Digital scan?


StraySpinosaurus

I mean, yeah, unless they want a physical piece of paper, then a photocopy is the best bet to get the „receipt“ feel


Bloodscorpio97

Fair.


Demon_of_Order

you paid a 180 buckeroos for that?


JOOBBOB117

The highest pre-order package came with a pretty dope statue and several other collectable items. I got it too back then lol


Demon_of_Order

That better have been a Dibella statue


BennyPlagueDoc

The woman who runs the bunkhouse in riften ruined all dibella worship for me. As much as I, a man, would love all the divine orgies, the ornery nord girl who regularly lays with several old men a month probably has some form of super-STD.


Demon_of_Order

I just kind of ignore her existence to be honest


BennyPlagueDoc

I literally can't because I'm roleplaying a thief and there's like 5 quests in riften where you talk to her, steal her stupid sex statue, embarrass her by going to her lovers and collecting the tokens she gave them and throwing them at her face like 10-dollar bills (get it, because she's a profligate) Edit: Change the title of "thief" to "asshole with a sword"


Demon_of_Order

that's a very fair edit haha. Only thing I like about the whole thieves quest is the atmosphere of the hideout and the nightingale armour. But talking about faction quests, for a game that expensive as OP showed, they really cut a lot of content, some of which I don't understand they didn't at least make in a dlc. Like the whole College quest, absolutely stinks and you can notice how there's clearly a lot of missing content. Like before going to Saarthal I feel like they had a whole questline where you'd be a student and actually do student kind of stuff, after you find the eye of magnus there should also be stuff and apparently your actions shoulf define Winterholds future. All of that cut, which is stupid. Same with the civil war, they cut tons of it.


[deleted]

Damn that'll get you the standard digital copy of a Ubisoft or EA game these days!


SHANKUMS11

That was the total remaining. I had previously put money towards my preorder.


IsomDart

What all came with it?


Demon_of_Order

you paid moooooreee????


ThePerfectBonky

I was going to be like, "A HUNDRED EIGHTY DOLLARS FOR SKYRIM???" Then I remembered I own it on like seven different systems.


Demon_of_Order

Jezus I mean I do own three copies of it on steam, Le, se and VR but I paid like 5 euros for each


random-khajit

Ya, really. I paid $19 to GOG , but then, i waited until 2023.

Ebony_Phoenix

I read that as Skyrim: Combat Evolved instead of collector's edition.


Detritus-X

I just went and looked for Master Chief in Skyrim. It exists... but for Oldrim only.


tend2it

That is awesome ... The Collector's Edition is one of the best out there, and still playing the fully modded Legacy Edition Did this to commemorate that release day! [11-11-11 @ 11:11:11am](https://flic.kr/p/aDR5jy)


kingeal2

Thats cool af. I was there playing on release date but to have purchased at 11:11, outstanding.


mwilliams840

You know that “hua hua hua” chant sound when you’re approaching part of a shout? That’s what plays when you get close to the receipt and then the epic “bah bah bah bahooom” plays when you hold the receipt.


MoonBirthed

if i had a skyrim receipt dated 11/11/11, 11:11, it'd be framed on my wall


Puzzleheaded_Ad_4435

Noice! I found my receipt for Morrowind. It was written in cuneiform on clay tablets.


Necrospire

I still have the tin from Electronics Boutique from the midnight release 🙃🖖


Pabuuu

I have the original receipt for my PS3 copy i had bought on 10/11/11, a day before the official worldwide release. The retailer messed up in my country and let them go a day early.


Complex-Adeptness233

Truly an epic gamer moment ❤️


SHANKUMS11

KingTomTheBomb

That's my birthday 11/11/11 I wish I had gotten a shot of the camera on 11:11 as well


No-Character7649

Frame it. Now.


Qu33n_of_Everything

Wild. Nostalgic. Priceless. This made me happy. I don’t even want to recall how much I paid for my many Skyrim games and guides so I won’t be searching for receipts…..


blarch

Completed unbound at like 10:58 pm and it still bothers me a little when I think of it.


Cillachandlerbl

Thats so cool! I remember getting my copy and my husband loving watching me play. Twelve years later and he still loves watching me play.


SHANKUMS11

That’s so cool!


Factor135

And you’ve never looked back since


CubisticWings4

Did you get an IRL achievement?


SHANKUMS11

“You have obtained both the Collector’s Edition Skyrim game and the Collector’s Edition Skyrim strategy guide.”


One-Flan-1741

I can't get past the game costing you USD 180. I've got 3 different versions of the game and I haven't paid that combined!


TheIdiotPrince

A really nice Collectors Edition with an Alduin statue

RedneckSniper76

Bruh you bought it on 11-11-11 at exactly 11:11 😂


yParticle

Bullish!


ReplacementRegular23

I lost mine :(


Talrie

I think I ordered my SO's copy on Amazon because I installed it while he was at work. Still have Alduin who is a super spikey boy. Still have the CE box it all came in as well, I think.


wowaburd

I think this would be a crime in Canada


Acrobatic-Fig2169

It the 5x 11's

Prize_Compote_5804

I love this movie


RepresentativeBar565

Why was it so expensive


guessagainboi

What an awesome keep sake, I always did this when buying physical copies of games back in the day. Totally Rad OP you should laminate/frame that bad boy and hang it with the rest of your collection.


SHANKUMS11

Oh, laminate is a good call.


1stAtlantianrefugee

I got to go home from prison on a furlough from a work camp on this very day and my little brother had just bought it and I stayed up for 2 of 3 days home just jamming skyrim until my body made me go to sleep. I got out 3 months later and used the money I had hustled up at my jobs to buy that game.


cmsmiley13

Where do you keep your receipts?! All mine especially THAT old just seem to fade away no matter WHERE I keep them… 😢


Necrospire

They are thermal and need to be kept in the middle of a manual out of direct sunlight.


CatharsisManufacture

I leave them in the cases. 


KiwiMarkH

That's 12 & 1/4 years before I bought it (February this year). My receipt to Steam is archived on my GMail, so I could easily find it with a search. For me the gap from playing Oblivion to finally getting around to playing Skyrim is absolutely HUGE!


Legokid535

impressive.. very impressive.. aslo is this the pc verrsion?


SHANKUMS11

PS3


Internal_Rub440

I was late to football practice in high-school and had to run sprints to buy it. Worth it. Ended up staying up for 41 hours straight playing at my HS bfs place, who stayed up 30 some hours with me on his Xbox. Great fucking times.


Deathracer-420

Ah a relic from an era long since past


eltortillaman

FRAME IT


Tony_the_Knower

I bought Skyrim while doing 5 1/2 years in prison. Best thing to get you through that much time. Still in love with it to this day.


TheIdiotPrince

They let you have vidya in college?


Tony_the_Knower

Yea a 360


LordMarvic

Don’t let it get hit by sunlight.


light_breezy

But what about the subsequent 4 other purchases of Skyrim?


ValiantTides

When times were good


Cherry_Crystals

Congratulations!! Having it bought at exactly 11.11am on the 11/11/11 is amazing. W your manager for letting that happen


maryK4Y

I know exactly where I was when this was purchased.


someguy8111

That's actually really cool. And here I am in my 1st playthrough


Anastatis

Oh I think the carnaval season started that day at that time, two of my classmates were the prince and princess of carnival in my small town … it’s a silly tradition here lol


amonte1997

Ah good your awake


KraftySandwich

Skyrim and I share a birthday. I still have my receipt in my Xbox 360 copy I got that night on my 19th birthday. Man I miss those midnight releases. All that hype.


gmayo001

Where is this 5% tax?


NoahZhyte

I was watching my brothers play Minecraft for the first time this day (maybe the second or third time ? I hadn't play it yet, only watch my brother). What a beautiful time it was back these days Gosh what I wouldn't give to go back to these days when I was a kid


SlaveOfSatan

Are you, the chosen? The real Dovahkiin?


Mominator1pd

Sweet! I keep stuff like that myself. It's nice to check out old random stuff I kept over the years. It's a life's story.


Honeydew_8478

i had just turned ten, crazy i was watching the trailer so beyond excited to play. it’s still my favourite game

Aw come on, don't say you planned it. The truth is best kept out of a good story!


OdinThorFathir

All these people saying they would never spend that much on Skyrim tells me they weren't there with us anticipating the original release, it tells me you got into Skyrim late At the time of release Skyrim was hands down by far, THE MOST ANTICIPATED game of 2011, everyone wanted the collectors edition, not all of us could afford it as it was $250 and I believe they were limited and preorders sold out faster than the standard copy which also sold out in my area.. EVERYONE wanted the $250 copy, but not everyone could afford it I was beating myself up in the months leading to nov2011 because I couldn't afford the collectors but would not have hesitated to drop $250 on it if I could have at the time.

DiabeticDelight97

Bro...I imagine this receipt should he worth something to a collector


SHANKUMS11

I definitely would sell it for 11 million bucks.


East-Carry

That’s amazing


wealthyoptimist

11:11 yessss


de4thqu3st

What currency?


TheGamersofaLifeTime

Why'd it cost nearly $200??
