Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the nothing-to-do-tonight dept.

HarvardFrankenstein writes "Gamespot's Greg Kasavin will be playing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for 12 straight hours tonight (Monday, March 20th) and the entire marathon session will be broadcast live. Kasavin will be 'offering commentary about the experience as it transpires. Subscribers will see a picture-in-picture view of Kasavin as he spends an increasing number of successive hours playing the game, and they will be able to chat with each other over the course of the event.'" The event starts tonight at 6pm PST, if they get started on time.

    Anyone else find it humorous that this event is in Gamespot's "PC Games" section, but technically he's going to be playing the game on the XBox 360?

    What I really find interesting is that, though he has the choice, he picked the 360 version instead of the PC version. I'm sure they have some sweet gaming rigs over there at Gamespot. It's not like the 360 was his only option... Who in their right mind would choose to use only their thumbs to play a game for 12 hours when better, more comfortable means are available... And why choose to play in lower res with less features? I'm curious to see what his shot and spell accuracy looks like after 12 hours.
