I will watch the archived version becuase as much fun as it was watching Greg marathon Oblivion all those years ago I wanna save myself from spoilers this time until I have played Skyrim for a couple days.

Greg's work back at Gamespot was amazing. In my opinion beyond anything any video game journalist has achieved.

Unfortunately I missed his 12 hour marathon of Oblivion at the time because it was "members only" or the equivalent for Gamespot.

Though I'm a member here now, I'm really glad Giant Bomb is making this open for everyone. I sure hope they archive it in full though as opposed to Gamespot, which only put up a highlights video.

I find it completely befuddling people are worried about Skyrim spoilers. Bethesda has never produced a story or series of events that I'd ever consider worthy of spoiling.

AWESOME!

@DeeGee: Wait, what live stream?

@phrosnite: It's not worth $50, it's worth $60. Haha!

Can't wait for this! I want to wait until a while after release to watch it (like most), but I have a feeling my temptations will get the best of me.

So awesome.

Thanks for all the support guys! Hard to believe the Oblivion thing was, what, six years ago... but it was a lot of fun and got a great response so this seemed too good to pass up. And besides, much like with Oblivion I just plan on playing the hell out of this game anyway, regardless of whether or not there's a live stream going.

Let me know if you have any requests on stuff to do or look for during the game! I'll see what I can do.

As with Oblivion I'll likely do some of the critical-path story stuff, but not too much so as not to spoil anything, and then basically wander and cause mayhem when it seems (least) appropriate. My tendency is to be melee-focused characters in these types of games though I'll try to dabble in different stuff. You know, backstabbing, destruction magic.

I will watch some of it. I will use it both for memory lane (those were great days with Kasavin)and seeing if I can build an interest in this most probably superb game

Oh man! I'll consume anything and everything that prominently features Greg Kasavin.

Awesome! Any chance could talk Logan Cunningham into narrating some of your playthrough? Pretty sure that would solidify your place in internet history. Forever. Just saying.

So awesome! Thank you Greg!

As the story is always the least interesting aspect of the Elder Scrolls games (it's all about open-world exploration and combat for me) I'll definitely be watching this since my 360 copy of Skyrim won't arrive until Friday afternoon (I'm still currently contemplating buying the PC version on Steam as well since since that one unlocks on 11/10 at 11pm for my time zone).

Greg, you need to get them to clone you. You are sorely missed in the games journalism sector, yet I think that what you are doing with Supergiant Games is pretty oustanding as well. So, two Greg's is the only answer.

I came.

EDIT: Also will this be archived for later viewing.

We love you Greg.  I couldn't be happier about this news.

Though this is really good, I will not watch it, I love Skyrim to much for me to spoil 12 hours of gameplay.

Great, that was a lot of fun last time 'round.

I doubt the entire thing will be archived, so I'll be watching this!

After watching the highlights from the Oblivion marathon, I'm really looking forward to this.

This is going to be so beautiful.

It's gonna be so tempting to watch... :(

Greg Kasavin will lead us to glory.

Color me excited!

Nice. I'm not even sure I'll buy this game, so might as well watch this.

I guess I will watch this between classes on thursday instead of doing anything productive.

If it's going to be archived, I'd say it's going to end up on YouTube (which for this specific occasion, it's fine with me). Think of the bandwidth if it was uploaded here, even if it was cut into a bunch of parts.

They have 100 hours of gameplay from 1 specific game archived here so I wouldn't rule it out.

So this one will also be ended with a fire alarm?

Greg Kasavin just posted in my thread. I shall die happy now.

@GregK: If there is one thing we all want, is that if you could find a way to archive it. Maybe through Justin.TV?

It's too precious to let go like that.

Very good point. I think a lot of TES fans don't want the first 12 hours "spoiled", but at the same time watch it at a later point since it's the awesome @GregK playing. I'll watch it live for sure, but an archived version would be a very good idea!

Whiskey Media's been getting more stingy with this kind of stuff; switching to a YouTube player for free users is a good example.

and limiting the YouTube clips to 360P is just an insult to free users.

I always love watching this stuff while taking a dump. I just hate that they make the replays a premium feature. You would think the live stream would be premium and the replay is free.

A live stream costs Whiskey no money, bandwith for archives however does. Makes totally sense.

Ah, Greg Kasavin. The ultimate king of the nerd-voice.

This is great. This is great.

I will so watch this!

Sweet! And it's gonna be just him or some duder(s) gonna join him?

Oh I remeber watching that one all those years ago. This is awsome news

Oh my god. I've just email Jeff and Vinny suggesting them to do such a thing. This is awesome!

Haha! Totally excited for this.

This is amazing.

YES! I'm guessing it'll be on Giant Bomb? Does anyone know if it'll be archived? I want to experience the first 12 hours myself before watching it.

Secondeded.

Thirdeded.

FIRE ALARM. I CALLED IT.

This is basically the best news I've read all... life.

I cant believe i missed this news. Im torn between watching this live or starting the game fresh.

I will be watching this because I think this game looks super cool but I am having a hard time convincing myself to buy it because Oblivion felt like a swords and sorcery mod for fallout 3 and that made me have a hard time trying to get into it. Its because I played Fallout 3 first.
