Skyrim Marathon - Part 08

Wohoo!

Edit: YEAH! I got it! Wonder how many people checked the timestamps on the comments from the other marathon videos

damn again. so close

YoYO

Lol cant wait for that quick look.

And this'll be the only one I watch...

It's going to take a lot of lunch breaks to get through this whole thing. I look forward to it.

I'm happy they're posting this for all us free users. I tried to avoid any form of the game so i could walk into Skyrim without being spoiled of any little detail i could savour. I'd definitely watch this sometime after i get reasonably longer in the game.

So Greg played for 12 hours straight, and GB didn't give him anything to eat or drink?

That's kinda inhospitable.

They offered, but dude was in the zone.

I want to become a vampire in this game, actually. I'm thinking that a vampire vs. dragon showdown would be pretty cool.

Thanks to Giant Bomb and Mr. Kasavin for sharing this awesome not-so-quick look at Skryim. I really want the game now.

As much as I like Greg and enjoyed watching this, I could never play this game in the chaotic, random way he does. I need to kinda 'role-play' in these games and be immersed in the theatre and illusion of the whole thing, otherwise it feels like a waste of such a deep and complex game. But at the same time Greg's way is valid as long as he enjoys doing what he does, so more power to him.

Greg had a Diet Coke. I believe he drank from it three times. Also, I was skeptical when it was announced and what of it I saw live, but I watched this whole thing in archive beginning to end because it was so enthralling. I also spent the last several nights falling asleep to the soothing music as he ran through the wilderness.

Watched the whole thing. I could watch Greg play through the whole game. He's got a gift.

The only thing I hated about this was that Greg always ended up going into dungeons that I have not been into yet. I want to experience everything about this game firsthand!

Really enjoyed watching all of this. Thanks so much Greg and GB!

Greg is a champ! 12 hours without a bathroom break.

Finally got around to finishing this :D Thanks guys

I hear what you mean about the theatre of the game. I don't mind the erratic way he just aimlessly wandered for quests, but by the end, I was getting a little irritated that whenever he was talking to an NPC in town that was explaining something or giving a quest, he would hop around the room like a kid with ADHD, jumping on tables, walking up to people and staring at them, etc.

For somebody who bashed MMOs for having no sense of immersion due to other players typing stupid things into the in-game chat (accurate), he sure seems to like ruining the immersion by making a mockery of any dialogue with NPCs.

Good to see Greg on the site. Loved him back in the GameSpot days.

I get annoyed every time Brad said if you're not using the 100+ carry weight standing stone you're playing it wrong. The Lovers stone is way more valuable, learning all skills 15% faster is way more useful.

When he kills that goat at about 17 mins is fantastic.

Bravo Greg.
