This is glorious. Not many here probably remember the Greg K oblivion 12 hour marathon when he was at Gamespot. That was a big success. It was also kinda novel idea at the time.

I like that the stream ended with him entering an Oblivion gate and the fire alarm in their offices went off and they had to evacuate.

 

[Skirn]

Fuck yes. I remember his awesome Oblivion marathon.

 

[Helmholtz]

Hopefully the vod is free and not just the stream because there's no way I'm watching it live before playing it myself. Big fan of Kasavin.

 

[infinityBCRT]

FUCK is right. Damn. I'd love to take the day off and watch this. Its going to be awesome to have Greg on in a non-Supergiant capacity.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Someone has put highlights of the Oblivion marathon on YouTube for those interested.

[chixdiggit]

Never would I watch this before playing a bunch of the game for myself first.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

This.

I wanna watch the Oblivion marathon.

I doubt it. Gamespot didn't archive stuff like that.

I feel glad I watched it live back in the day.

 

[dimb]

No, I mean, did they do a 24 hour marathon, because that's kind of cool?

IGN did.

 

[Deadstar]

Sounds fun but isn't this going to spoil the game? I know I won't be watching until I've played for a bit.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Sounds fun but isn't this going to spoil the game? I know I won't be watching until I've played for a bit.

Oblivion Marathon barely spoiled shit simply because of how huge it is and that he did a lot of side stuff. But still it is obviously a spoiler for those wanting it fresh.

 

[LiK]

Wait, all you guys watched the Oblivion marathon too? I no longer feel special.

 

[Yoshichan]

Sounds fun but isn't this going to spoil the game? I know I won't be watching until I've played for a bit.

Some people already spoiled the living crap out of this game because apparently "Elder Scrolls game is all about killing innocent people, looting their shit and put houses on fire".

Spoiler

Fuck those guys. Elder Scrolls is about atmosphere, the music, the interaction and the interface - all which can be spoiled with videos.

 

[Arment]

Which platform?

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Wait, all you guys watched the Oblivion marathon too? I no longer feel special.

I bet that a lot of GB fans are old school Gamespot fans.

I watched EVERYTHING Gamespot did back in the day, haha.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

Hah, brilliant, I remember him doing this with Oblivion too.

 

[Jibber Hack]

Just found out about this today. So tempted to watch. I don't know.

 

[WickedCobra03]

I remember watching Kasavin's Oblivion marathon the day before it was released. Good times. Definitely gonna check this out as well.

Yeppers. This is great that they thought of something like this and got Greg to come out and help them out. I will def be there!

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Which platform?

The fact it's Greg makes me hope PC. But it'll likely be 360.

 

[darkressurection]

Yeah, I remember watching Greg's Oblivion stream with my friend and saying "I need to go buy this game now!" Needless to say I will be tuning in on thursday.

 

[Chesskid1]

they are streaming morrowind now, pretty awesome/entertaining so far.

 

[Kerrby]

How many hours until the stream starts Skyrim?

 

[Ruken]

How many hours until the stream starts Skyrim?

7 hours'ish. It starts at 8am pacific.

 

[jediyoshi]

How many hours until the stream starts Skyrim?

7 and a half-ish

 

[Defuser]

Wait what? Since when Greg Kasavin joined Giantbomb?

 

[Number45]

Wow, a GB live event that I don't have to stay up through the night for? And it's Greg Kasavin? On the flip side, I don't want any Skyrim spoilers. :'(

 

[fanboi]

Is it just me but is the music so awesome depressing in Morrowind?

I remember walking the wastes and getting depressed :/

 

[Kerrby]

7 hours'ish. It starts at 8am pacific.

7 and a half-ish

Thanks guys.

3am for me .

 

[Khezu]

Haha better bodies nip slip.

 

[THE Caffeinated]

Wait what? Since when Greg Kasavin joined Giantbomb?

He didn't, he just doesn't exactly have an avenue for streaming a 12 hour marathon anywhere else and the GB guys thought it would be cool.

Is this the thread for the preshow ? Dave and Ryan are currently playing through Morrowind live right now.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Is this game supposed to look this dated? :lol

 

[Blue Ninja]

Is this game supposed to look this dated? :lol

Looks fine when I'm playing it. More than fine.

Is it just me but is the music so awesome depressing in Morrowind?

I remember walking the wastes and getting depressed :/

I thought the music in Morrowind was more happy/adventurous. :lol

Skyrim's music is a lot more depressing, imo.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Looks fine when I'm playing it. More than fine.

I meant like how it plays. I'm sure it's not all walking down narrow caves, poking dudes to death.

 

[Thomper]

I meant like how it plays. I'm sure it's not all walking down narrow caves, poking dudes to death.

It's a 10 year old game. Looks pretty good now, seems great for then.

 

[Joseph Merrick]

Can't wait for the fire alarm!

lol

 

[walking fiend]

wasn't Greg and employee of EA?!

 

[Thoraxes]

Awesome, so 10AM for my time.
Will watch.

 

[Number45]

wasn't Greg and employee of EA?!

He worked on the Command & Conquer team at one point I think after leaving Gamespot.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

wasn't Greg and employee of EA?!

not for a long time now, he was a producer on RA3 but that is a long time ago.

 

[Trevelyon]

Squat for cash DOT COM

 

[Fjordson]

I could really use some pizza right about now...

 

[Truant]

I need some killer snacks and food for my Skyrim allnighter.

 

[54-46!]

I always loved how genuine Greg were when he talked about stuff he really liked, like that XBLA Street Fighter 2 video he shot from home at midnight - good stuff.

 

[Khezu]

Greg should bring the narrator with him, and have him narrate the entire playthrough.

I love that mans voice.

 

[Enco]

I need some killer snacks and food for my Skyrim allnighter.

Yea bro. Gonna buy some tonight.

My first serious gaming session in a long time. Best weekend ever. Screw friends and going out.

 

[panda21]

did they say how long they would do this morrowind thing for?

 

[Fjordson]

did they say how long they would do this morrowind thing for?

I'm almost positive they're going up until the Skyrim marathon with Kasavin. So about another 6 hours.

 

[panda21]

I'm almost positive they're going up until the Skyrim marathon with Kasavin.

AWWW YEAH

 

[Trumpets]

Are people really going to watch someone they don't know play a game for 12 hours?

 

[FStop7]

Wait, they're already broadcasting? I see Dave and Ryan playing Morrowind. They're pulling an all nighter? Oh god, I want to watch.

 

[Truant]

Are people really going to watch someone they don't know play a game for 12 hours?

At least it's free this time.
