ep·ic
? ?[ep-ik] Show IPA
adjective Also, ep·i·cal.
1.
noting or pertaining to a long poetic composition, usually centered upon a hero, in which a series of great achievements or events is narrated in elevated style: Homer's Iliad is an epic poem.
2.
resembling or suggesting such poetry: an epic novel on the founding of the country.
3.
heroic; majestic; impressively great: the epic events of the war.
4.
of unusually great size or extent: a crime wave of epic proportions.
Going by the typically used 4th definition, I'd say it incredibly safe to describe Skyrim, or anything pertaining to Skyrim as being EPIC! True story! I enjoy using the word in my daily life to describe anything containing large amounts of awesomeness or grand proportions like a boss.
Yeah man that video was Hella Boss Dude! It was so full of Epic Win!.... Hella... Boss... FTW!
Gah my eyes! Scalded they are!
On a more serious note, I almost don't want to get this game for fear of neglecting my other games. I still have to do my achievement run for Batman and BF3, I'm still playing through Uncharted 3. If I get Skyrim, I won't touch anything for at least six months... happened with Oblivion.

Shit like "boss" is what sounds dumb.

It is definitely getting tiresome, I for one say it if I see something truly true to its meaning.
And that one is definitely Skyrim.
