ASMR Gaming Whisper: Wandering in Skyrim - Halloween 2015!

Join me for a spooky whispered wander through the pumpkin-filled streets of Whiterun and a haunting reading of "The Cabin In The Woods", a classic Skyrim ghost story! It's spooky, but not too spooky :)
Game: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Legendary Edition
Developer: Bethesda Game Studios
Released: November 2011
Availability: Steam [store.steampowe...]
---- What's ASMR, and why am I whispering? ----
I whisper in my videos because they're designed to trigger a sensation called ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response). ASMR is a very specific feeling that some people experience when they hear certain soft sounds, like whispering and tapping, or see certain visuals, like deliberate hand motions. It's often described as a pleasant tingling in the head and neck, accompanied by a sense of calmness and mild euphoria. Many people watch ASMR videos to help them relax or fall asleep. To learn more about ASMR, I recommend checking out asmruniversity..... Happy tingles!

This is perhaps the most nostalgic ASMR video for me. Love it so much

[@sammyidobelieveiammy]

I love his whispering voice as well as his strong vocabulary! One of my favorite ASMR channels

[@theASMRnerd]

+Samuel Sutton Thank you! Glad you're enjoying my videos :)

[@sammyidobelieveiammy]

Very much so! Hope you keep up the good work, and hope grad school is working out well for you! :)

[@user-nk7cn1ut1l]

I got stupidly stoned and watched this video. Best decision ever.

[@CrazyBoyStudios]

Great wander! This was very enjoyable :) Fallout 4 is mere days away now. I certainly hope we'll see some wandering through the post-apocalypse from you after that comes out. I could actually see some interesting wanders through spooky, old abandoned vaults, or creaky supermarkets.

[@ayleidcaligo2227]

Still one of my favorite ASMR videos of all time

[@theASMRnerd]

I'm so glad you're still enjoying this all these years later! And I have good news for you: I'm planning another one for this year 😄

[@ayleidcaligo2227]

@@theASMRnerd Bless 🌟 I watch them all every year

[@isamelion151]

[@soljj6418]

These Halloween Skyrim asmr videos by ASMR Nerd are just absolutely amazing. No further words. Perfection.

[@teirdalinthree9783]

Hey you showed off my mod. *thumbs up* I'll add it to the description for Halloween Overhaul 2015's showcase videos.

[@theASMRnerd]

+Teirdalin Shadowfall Hey, thanks for making an awesome mod, man! Since this is kind of an "in universe" video I didn't mention the mod title in the video, but I linked it down below in the description. I hope some viewers check it out! And thanks for adding it to the mod showcase. I know these whispering videos kinda weird some people out.

[@nastynacho1]

+theASMRnerd excuse me how does ur game not crash it took awhile to find mod combos that dont crash can u produce a full mod list please thanks my maij concern for me is horrible vanilla ground lods :-(

[@nastynacho1]

+Alejandro Sosa *main

[@a7jsdp0z672nf]

+Alejandro Sosa I believe, if it isn't down to your computer hardware, you need to set the mods in a specific loading order, so that the game doesn't crash. Not too sure on that, though.

[@nastynacho1]

+Tom King proggie called loot . purity , grass fields , and a noise.dss seemed to help

[@greenspark101]

Pretty sure this is my favorite ASMR video of all time. I had one of the worst days of my life so here I am again. I swear I'm half the views on this one 💛 thank you for your help finding peace

[@SilasTrafford]

Please keep doing these!! LOVE SKYRIM. And your knowledge on it and just the sounds and visuals are the best triggers ever.

[@Bloogreenpony]

I loved the previous skyrim book reading video you did, and this one is even better! Would LOVE more of them!

[@adamdelvalle7507]

Yesssss I've been waiting for this, awesome

[@theASMRnerd]

+Adam DelValle It's a bit last-minute, but it's still technically halloween!

[@nastynacho1]

+theASMRnerd may i suggest www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50875/? grass fields mod for ur videos

[@whit9172]

I think I know what ASMR is now. I get it when I go to the doctors and they check my heartbeat. While your videos don't trigger my ASMR, I still enjoy them quite well :)

[@ottofarkas3770]

i'm really waiting for the next episode :) it's really relaxing after a long day to sit down and chill a little bit for this kind of videos. Best wishes , take care :)

[@johnburke6982]

really liked this video and also the Christmas one very relaxing looking forward to hopefully seeing more of the holiday videos this year and keep up the great work

[@romanth2]

Awesome work man! I always love finding these videos on my video feed.

[@joshyman12312]

I just started watching your videos about a week ago and they're great! thank you for the relaxation and happy Halloween.

[@PPOMO]

Wonderful! :)

[@koinkoin12]

와~ 뽀모님도 보시네요 ㅋㅋ

[@SPF-3000]

Love it when you read Skyrim books. More Elder Scrolls book reading please!

[@theASMRnerd]

+SPF 3000 Yeah I enjoy doing those videos, I'll be trying to do them more often in future :)

[@veganbtw1]

I've missed this series!

[@MenstalHelp]

You need to do more Elder Scrolls things!!! I know you want to keep your channel diverse content-wise, but your ES content is stellar. Thanks!

To whom it may concern:ZachYourSupremeOverlord, my master ,died recently from rockjoint, but he wouldve loved this video. I am the first of my kind to experience ASMR, but I do much like these videos.ZachYourSupremeOverlord's Cat

I saw this while I was in bed, thank you! Great Video!

[@RobinYdal]

Yesss, I absolutely love this. Thanks for another amazing video!

[@ANiftyKitty]

I was trying to fall asleep to this but the Halloween decorations and the way the moon looks is just so cool to not witness

[@theASMRnerd]

+A Nifty Kitty Haha the ever-present problem of relaxing vs. interesting :P

[@TObbh05]

This was pretty cool/creative. I don't comment a lot but it was deserved. Well done sir

[@skdruler]

Another great video! I was wandering and this is sort of a question. Have you thought about making a wandering in skyrim video about the journey to the top of the throat of the world? I think it would be cool, you could visit the grey beards and paarthunax. I have no idea if that's just me but I think it'll be awesome

[@MrCoolguy106]

can you do another one of these at Christmas with a bunch of Christmas mods? This one was awesome!

[@theASMRnerd]

+MrCoolguy106 Glad you enjoyed it! I'll probably do a Christmas one this year, and I've done them for the last couple of years. If you haven't seen them yet you should check out my 2013 and 2014 Christmas Skyrim vids :)

[@javelin4641]

Once again another masterpiece. 🤘🏽😊💤💤

[@theASMRnerd]

+John Williams Thanks man!

[@amygrasso9630]

“.......or citizens here will have some water quality problems.” LMAO

[@douglasnysether7963]

I'm just a minute or 2 in right now and I love it! However the nerd in me compels me to correct that the intention of scary faces on the pumpkins is actually to frighten away evil spirits. Much the same as the presence of gargoyles :)

[@theASMRnerd]

+Douglas Nysether Glad you're enjoying it! And you're absolutely correct, jack-o-lanterns were traditionally intended to scare away evil spirits. I was just going from memory with the "spirits of the dead" factoid, although it looks like we may both be right: Wikipedia says that "by those who made them, the lanterns were variously said to represent the spirits or supernatural beings, or were used to ward off evil spirits". It's Wikipedia though, so take it with a grain of salt I guess. Either way, thanks for setting the record straight!

[@AmellsGrace]

Have you ever considered doing a video of journey?

[@TheGamePlayerCZ]

Amazing job

[@theASMRnerd]

+Bauchi Awesome, glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the sub!

[@hammers7657]

Man i was trying to fall asleep to this but when u read the story i was up all night because i was just picturing everything u read cause my eyes were closed and I was horrified

[@ATGamersNL1]

Not Halloween anymore, but keep up the great work man!!

[@AnonymOus-dp3jj]

Bro thank you so much I listen while coding!

[@PatChatASMR]

NIce one! wish my PC could handle skyrim so I could get mods haha it looks like so much fun!

[@GamerNation1221]

so is this a thing that happens around halloween in the game that you have to like update or some thing or something that happens automatically in game during a certain month or is it a mod. I am a relatively long time skyrim player and I've never seen this...

[@theASMRnerd]

+GamerNation1221 It's a mod -- check the video description for a link :)

[@TubaHorse]

Volume I is the book The Woodutter's Wife. This is essentially a sequel.

[@theASMRnerd]

+LOLStudiosMusic1 Yes, I mention that right at the very end :). It's just odd that this is called "Part II" when "Part I" has an entirely different title. It's the only other book by the same author though, so it makes sense.

[@TubaHorse]

***** Darn! My bad for falling asleep. Very nice video, though! But yeah, I wish someone somewhere would make a mod based around the story as the game has no weeping ghost. That'd be awesome for next Halloween!

[@theASMRnerd]

+LOLStudiosMusic1 Haha no worries! And you're absolutely right, it would be really cool to have a "Woodcutter's Wife/Cabin in the Woods" mod. If I had any ability with the Creation Kit I'd give it a shot, but I don't. Maybe somebody else will run with the idea :)

[@TubaHorse]

***** There's a Creation Kit? Hmm... might try my hand at something new. See what I can accomplish.

[@YoungJOPE]

If don't mind me asking, how much money do you have invested into your computer? These graphics are on point.

[@theASMRnerd]

+JOPE Hard to say because I bought different parts at different times (sort of a rolling upgrade situation), but if you were to buy all these parts right now it'd be somewhere in the neighborhood of ~$1500 USD. Would have been a bit more when the parts were newer. So I'd estimate $1500-2000 USD over several years.

[@TheASMRGamer]

Halloween Win!!!! :'D

[@JohnQueSacc]

i came to hear pumpkin over and over

[@theASMRnerd]

+teejee69bruh Then you came to the right place XD

[@daniellarsson3677]

Over a month ago since your last upload. I hope you are doing good and will soon be back on track, love all of your vids. Keep it up man! :)

[@theASMRnerd]

+Daniel Larsson Thanks for the words of encouragement man :). Life is crazy busy right now, but I do always check my comments eventually, and I try to get videos out when I can. Things are a little more calm right now, so I'm trying to get some videos out!

hey asmrnerd... any plans for a fallout 4 asmr related video?

[@shanders1000]

Can you do a video around the game banished nick?

[@theASMRnerd]

+shanders1000 I don't own it, but I'll keep an eye out for it in the Steam winter sale, maybe pick it up!

[@slayerdude18]

+theASMRnerd is this a lore friendly mod, because i want to suprise my girlfriend with this on her pc, but it is a low end pc. love your video btw ^^

[@theASMRnerd]

It's not particularly lore-friendly. There are numerous Halloween-like festivals celebrated in Tamriel, but not Halloween specifically. You can check out www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Calendar#Holidays for a list of in-universe festivals. Also, this mod is fairly rough, with numerous unfinished areas. If you want something a bit more lore-friendly and polished, you might try Holidays by Isoku (www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/64820).

[@slayerdude18]

+Cinnabun Wizard I don't really play CS:GO, and I used to play a ton of TF2 but I haven't for a while. More importantly though, I unfortunately don't have the money to spend on keys! Those suckers add up. I could theoretically do Heathstone booster openings though, or identify Legendaries in Diablo 3, or something along those lines.
