Haha I stared at this video without any comments for like a minute and was just like "Oh part 4, lets wait for part 1" without even thinking of this quest..

I love watching Dave's physical state slowly deteriorate over the course of the night. With breaking point coming when Kessler arrives.

when did kessler spoil skyrim? I just watched the entire thing and I didn't notice any spoilers.

I don't really understand the hate people have for him. I mean, obviously he's not as charismatic as the big 5, but he hasn't had years of having to stand in front of cameras and talk about video games in a professional capacity, either.

I really respect Dave for doing this, he totally had the option NOT to do this and still did it. Awesome stream guys!

I also watched the whole thing without noticing any spoilers. Kessler's comments on Skyrim were pretty minimal. He said the Dark Brotherhood is more of a narrative as opposed to a string of missions, that dragons can attack anywhere, anytime and that the game is less regimented overall than Oblivion. Unless dragons are a spoiler, I dunno what the previous commentators could be referring to. Shrug.

@damnable_fiend: @WSGabler: Nope, you're right; Kessler didn't spoil shit. Certainly nothing you wouldn't see in a review of Skyrim.

@Mr_Skeleton: I would suggest buying the company and then you could make those decisions.

This is easily viewable on their justin tv. This just makes it easier for premium members. No problem with it being a premium video here.

Also, did Ryan pass out when he said he was just going to plug his iPad in?

In response to all of these Matt Kessler haters, I think he saved the end of this Oblivion marathon. He also gave no spoilers on Skyrim so i don't know what everybody is talking about.

I agree. Also he made a Castlevania II joke at the perfect moment, which just made my day.

Oblivion with an XP level system is an interesting idea. I wish I had the time to replay the game that way.

Oh man, the lack of sleep is really starting to get to Dave during this part of the marathon. He's missing things left and right.

Kessler hate baffles me. There's never even any reason given for it, unlike the thin excuses you at least get from Alex or Patrick haters.
