Skyrim demo sends woman into labor photo

[Update: Chaz and Stevi joined us in the Outer Heaven chat last night (Chaz has been following Destructoid for years) and we got the chance to talk with the soon-to-be parents. Because of the pregnancy, the wedding (planned for this past weekend) was moved to November 16. The couple rescheduled before Skyrim's release was announced.

Chaz and Stevi were incredibly nice and I wish them the best of luck with the delivery of their daughter as well as their upcoming nuptials.]

A lot fans are excited about the next chapter in the Elder Scrolls series but I doubt there are many that can claim a level of enthusiasm that sends them into labor. Unless you happen to be Stevi, who was with her fiancee for the Skyrim presentation yesterday when she began experiencing labor pains. Rather than leave in the middle of the demo (Stevi started contractions after seeing the Frost Dragon), the soon-to-be parents decided to stick it out, just in case it was a false alarm.

 Turns out it was the real deal, and once the presentation was over, the couple rushed to the hospital where Stevi gave birth to daughter Atari Lynn. While the couple's plans to get married at this years convention were shelved (they got engaged during QuakeCon 2010), having a baby instead seems like a fair trade-off. I guess their marriage will have to wait another year. As for Skyrim, there has been talk about powerful cocks, and now babies. This is a bit much for mere coincidence.

Bethesda soon announces an Atari 2600 port of Skyrim in honor of the baby

If you add an x to the end of the baby's last name, you get Atari Lynnx. Probably intentional.

Atari Lynn? Seriously? Their daughter will hate them for the rest of her life.

Skyrim causes women to suddenly become impegnated AND speeds up the gestation process to only a few minutes, CONFIRMED. How do those crazy mages at Bethesda do it?!

I missed this presentation but I heard that the audience started shouting at Todd Howard to rape a horse. This would be 100x more awesome if this moment is what triggered her to go into labor.

Hey guys this is Chaz, the Fiancee of the woman who went into labor. She hasnt been born quite yet, the labor process as been slowly progressing we still have a few hours even a day or two until she walks among us.

Thank you guys for the support!

We set the date of our wedding before knowing the release of the game and we are getting married November 16th, so just shy of the date the game comes out.

Atari Lynn? I don't know about you, but that's awesome. I'm probably only saying that because my name is more plain that a pair of beige school pants.

Before the baby is delivered, you should change her name to Horse Armor and Todd Howard should cut the cord but not before you pay him 400 Billy Gates Fun Bucks.

Just some facts here. I am Stevi, the one that is actually still in labor. Your water doesn't break when you have your first contraction in labor.. it is actually very uncommon to happen, most first time mothers have their water broken for them by their doctor. First time labor takes a very long time and it usually isn't real the first go around. :] and yes, Atari. Seriously. Her name literally means "to hit a target from the lake"... which I happen to love that.

@JimSterlingsMom: Me too. Only question is, who is it that gets titty-fucked, me or him?

As for the topic at hand, I'm not really surprised. It's an Elder Scrolls game. They make magical shit happen. What is surprising, however, is the level of irresponsibility on the part of the parents. I know Skyrim's a pretty big deal, but you don't stand there and stare at the screen while you're ready to pop a kid out. Frost Dragons only make you pregnant. They don't deliver the child for you too.

Because I am a dick and in spite of the comments clearly evidencing otherwise,I am going to proceed with the assumption that this is a lesbian couple. I am solely basing the dickish assumption on the fact that the word "fiancee" has been repeatedly spelled in its feminine form.

One thing we can't say about Skyrim now ... is that it doesn't deliver.

They named their kid Atari? I feel sorry for the kid. Really I do. This is why stupid people should be neutered.

Neutered is a term used for animals. The term actually means "the removal of an animal's reproductive organ" Lol.

Nice, I actually heard her going into labor in the leaked footage of the Quakecon demo. Oddly not the most exciting thing in the demo ;)

Nix you are so full of shit. What did u read that off wikipedia? You obviously have no idea about real labor and are trying to act like you know what its about. You fail at trying to be cool. The doctor does NOT break water most of the time it happens on their own. I've been their twice unlike you talkin like you know what's up.

@Nathan Champion: Nice joke, but as I pointed out in my previous comment, Skyrim DOESN'T deliver. It provides the miracle of birth, but after that you're on your own.
It isn't Domino's.

@Chris Jordan: She's in labor, having a child push through her birth canal in the most painful fashion possible, probably under heavy sedatives, and... leaving comments on a video game message board. Even if she wasn't full of shit she'd be pretty damn stupid.

Bethesda doesn't want people to take them up on naming their 11/11/11 babies Dovahkiin so badly that they'd place an enchantment upon their game demo that induces labor in any pregnant women, Transmen, hermaphrodites and possibly asexuals just to be sure that any viable pregnancies will have run their course by the time the fated day arrives.

First, they threaten Notch will a lawsuit and now this? Does their villainy know no bounds?!

Lynn is a name, people can use part of their name as a name if they seriously don't like their full name. Problem solved.

....atari.

Oh well. There are worse names that are actually names. They could have use some World of Warcraft bullshit, also. "Atari" is practically a blessing from parents who think the name "Atari" is an acceptable choice.
