'Dragonborn' Child Wins Bethesda Games For Life

November 17, 2011 / dragons, i make all my friends call me dragonlord but i didn't get any free games!, naming your kids after things, pfft -- i kill dragons all the damn time, role playing games, rpg, sure why not, video games, you better pray that kid loves rpg's when he's old enough to ask where his name came from

Bethesda Game Studio, best known for their RPG's like Fallout and Elder Scrolls, made the promise to award free games for life to any child born on Skyrim's release date and named after the games protagonist, Dovahkiin. And, to nobody's surprise, somebody did it. Seen here looking like he just came out of the oven (complete with mitts!), Dovahkiin Tom Kellermeyer was born at 6:08 on 11/11/11, entitling him to a lifetime of free Bethesda games. Unfortunately, things like this always backfire and he's probably gonna grow up to hate video games and play baseball or something. Kidding, his name's Dovahkiin -- hockey.

Thanks to Tulsa, who was named after the city he was conceived in. "WHAT?!" Haha, you didn't know that?

    If he's anything like Bethesda's games, he'll crash after he puts in about 20 hours.

  • Dovahkii isn't a terrible name. Sounds kind of Russian.

  • ladyeggplant

    It's called Bethesda Softworks.

  • I'm from Tulsa and I don't get the joke.

  • Hey son, I thought it'd be cool if I could get games from these guys for free so I'm giving you an unthoughtful name that would let you stand out amongst everybody, and no, games' rated mature so you can't play them until your older LOL

  • omg bethesda is so freaking cool. how lucky this kid is wow

  • artilleryboy

    Nice. I dont exactly agree with doing something like this, Giving your kid a Weirdish name for an incentive, But he will probably be happy with this due to the fact that he will get free games and have a unique name.

  • He looks a little pre-mature, just like all of Bethesda's games. I'm sure he'll get patched later on...

  • What happens if the company goes bankrupt and doesn't make any games anymore??? FAIL

  • That kid is not going to get bullied for the rest of it's life.
    No sir, not one bit.

  • PapaSeagull

    Screw you, I would have loved to have been born as Dovahkiin.

  • atrapforletrice

    it's really not that bad of a name. weird yes, but i've heard worse. it's actually quite nice.

  •  Exactly, it's a fucking awesome name and kids who don't realize that are trolls

  • Well of course you think that!
    You're called Kevin!
