Live 12-Hour Oblivion Marathon

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.

    Bethesda Nightmare Scenario #2:

    T + 9:29:30: "Done!"

    Morrowind 5 segment Speedrun in 00:07:30, and that for a game which you can play for days and weeks without ever touching a story quest.

    http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/rpg/theelderscroll sivoblivion/news.html?sid=6146174 Takes you to the "We play Oblivion for 12 hours straight" page, with a big fat button to watch it. However, after signing up for the free service, I find that I'm still met with the "Only subscribers can participate in this special event!" text. =/ Looks like we're screwed, unless we wanna pay four bucks a month.

    As much as a I loved the Xbox version...I had to come up with specific strategies to keep it from locking, and saved like every 5 min, just to be safe
