Name your child

Skyrim Creationism Challenge for New Parents
It's all about young children in video games these days. If you're Deep Silver, you're having fun by watching them die horribly. If you're Bethesda you're welcoming them being born.

The latter use of children to see your game is quite sweet and refers to Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim as follows according to the Bethesda blog:

"Our man Pete Hines sends word that today, February 18, is the ideal time to conceive if you’re looking to roll a new character/child on Skyrim Day — 11/11/11. Just how exactly he learned this is worth pondering, but we’ll take him at his word for the sake of amusing science.

"So, think you have the stat points in you to produce the perfect eight pound dragon-slayer? Like the wizened wizard he is, Pete is throwing down with a casual quest, offering up an unknown reward to any couple adventurous enough to name their 11/11/11-born child 'Dovahkiin'.

While it may be difficult to play Skyrim from the hospital, just think of how many late nights you’ll have to lull your little Dragonborn with Jeremy Soule’s soothing music."

There also a 'heavy disclaimer' to read.

I'd call my child Nigel Tufnel after the Spinal Tap movie if he was born on 11-11-11 after all "These go to eleven"

Nobody who would consider doing this could ever get a date.
