While I was at my desk playing Prey last night I heard a sudden loud pop and the sound of breaking glass. At first I thought a light bulb had burst but soon noticed the cloud of drywall dust in the air and a bullet hole to the left of my monitor.

I started looking for where the bullet had ended up and my heart sunk as I saw this hole in my Elder Scrolls anthology. (the dust on it is bits of wall)

Well, this isn't going to be good...

In here is where I found the bullet itself, right in the expansions for morrowind. I didn't think to take a picture before the police came and they took the bullet for evidence, so no pic of that... sorry.

R.I.P. to my favorite game of all time... R.I.P. Construction Set.

R.I.P Tribunal, R.I.P. Bloodmoon, you were too good for this world.
All the other games were okay, Oblivion was saved by virtue of being in my disc drive.

Front page edit:
Thanks for all the well wishes guys, I have to go to work now but I'll keep you all updated when I get back.

Edit 2: Bethesda has contacted me, I'll let you guys know if anything comes of it. Still no word about neighbors, although my roommates said they heard them fighting briefly while I was at work. Sounds about usual for them honestly.

Edit 3: Bethesda has offered to send me a new copy of TES Anthology. Of course I said yes!

Edit 4: My package from Bethesda has arrived! Check it out here: http://imgur.com/gallery/3e5qk

Hey Bethesda! Take care of this lucky gamer please.

odd are someone working there still has one or more.. Stuff like this kinda builds upp in large corporate office buildings.

They might still have some laying around they wouldn't mind giving up. If nothing else they should be able to burn replacement disks.

9 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

Unlikely by now, i think anyway. And discs wouldn't be the issue, but his box is pretty fucked up too

9 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Pretty sure his box now has added value.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

One of the discs that is broken is the construction kit, which isn't included in the steam version of the game. You need the disc for it.

I meant discs weren't the issue as in what Bethesda would be able to replace
