Sure, there's already a YouTube thread in Apple Outsider, but I think there's enough room for a dedicated game video thread.

I'll get us started with this: 20 minutes of Skyrim in-game footage. With minimal editing and commentary, this is probably the closest thing we'll have to a real in-game experience before it's released. According to Bethesda's blog, this is pretty much the demo that Todd Howard gave to the press at E3. (Based on the accounts I've read, that's accurate.)

It's a really impressive, rich demonstration of the major new features in Skyrim, and now I'm even more excited about the game.

So, what game videos are you watching?

Gah. Why must every game have giant fucking spiders in it. Can't play, too realistic.

But you don't mind the huge spiders in Minecraft?

Actually, since they've started jumping, they freak me out too. Still kinda blocky, so I can cope.

OMG !! Looks amazing. Seriously... I watched the 20minutes and I was just thinking about how many hours I'm gonna spend on this game.

The part just after he cast a spell that slow down time... just beautiful. The water flowing in the cavern, the lighting...

And what about the music. I loved the music in Morrowind, loved it in Oblivion and it sounds great again in Skyrim. It's pretty much my favorite video game music ever....

I wonder how it will look on consoles...

Looks like it's a 360 capture. Buttons are all A,B,X,Y,LT,RT... Or maybe it's PC version played with an 360 controller which would be kinda weird.
