"Show me another book in the world that claims to be the word of one who knows everything, who has always been there, that tells us the origin of time, matter, space, the origin of the Earth, the origin of water, the origin of the sun, moon, and stars, the origin of dry land, the origin of plants, the origin of…

Yes, that is about the level of critical thought you seem capable of. Hang in there, l'il slugger, you keep trying. Someday you'll be a real boy, and can understand alllll the things the adults are talking about!

YOU are a sad testament to the times we live in, actually. But happily, you're a dinosaur, and your kind is dying out.

Meanwhile, Oblivion…

Heh, funny thing is, those of us who started on ES 1-3 think Oblivion was worse in that respect than Skyrim is. The maligned "magic pizza slice" made its debut in Oblivion, along with map-based fast travel, and we've cursed them ever since.

Isn't this what got Gizmodo kicked out of the electronics conference a few years back?
