Bethesda's Pete Hines is encouraging child abuse in the name of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. If you're expecting a baby to arrive on Skyrim's launch date of November 11, 2011, the developer will offer a special reward to anybody who calls their baby Dovahkiin.
According to the pretend language of Skyrim, Dovahkiin translates to "Dragon Born." The reward that Pete Hines is offering remains a mystery at the moment, but Bethesda promised it "will not ultimately justify the potential teasing your child could - and probably will - endure over its lifespan."
So, if you are a heartless sociopath and you're having a baby on 11/11/11, give it an awful name so Pete Hines can give you a present.

Bethesda will be putting out its upcoming MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online on PlayStation 4 in spring 2014, Sony announced this evening.

Yeah, I did a double take, too. Developer Human Head's Prey 2, recently considered vaporware much to the chagrin of all of us who fell head over heels for the Bladerunner-esque title two years ago, resurfaced recently followi...

A return to true survival horror. That's what Shinji Mikami, father of Resident Evil, and his new studio, Tango Gameworks, aims to do with The Evil Within. I saw the game in action at an E3 pre-show recently, and they've cert...
