So I borrowed a copy of Oblivion from my nephew over the weekend, and find it to be every bit as addicting as I have been warned it would be. Very cool stuff. Loads of traveling would be my only complaint. 
But good times to be sure.
What prompted the joke was a giant rat I killed in a dungeon that coughed up a silver plate. Just thought that was odd. So it was then up to me to exagerate the point.
