How in gods name did you get skyrim already!?

Didn't realise that my interview was yesterday, I think it's because I thought the second day of my rider course was the same date as the first day or something crazy.
Having unlimited/free social sites on Optus but I'm being charged a few cents each time for a data connection fee according to the first support person to give me some sort of answer.
Hey Venom Tag, are you accessing the social network sites via the browser or via the apps?

I took that from the funny links thread, but it made me feel more violent hate then humour. "Should Diablo 3 have been first person?" NO! you ignorant little diaper stain! It wouldn't be a god-damn Diablo game /without/ isometric view >.< Raa.
Well what else do you need to know my man! Shack up now or you might miss out on that sweet motorbike!
Thanks to a guy I play CS:S with I've discovered dubstep, WHERE WAS THIS WHEN I WAS GETTING BORED OF HOUSE/TRANCE!? xD
Re: One Sitting (1 year ago)
Oooo, I haven't tried that, is it some relation to Chrono Trigger? And how long is it? cause anything longer than 18-20 hours seems to be my limit icon_razz.gif
Re: One Sitting (1 year ago)
Alright finally awake enough to post again icon_biggrin.gif

The thing that sent me packing was while running around Hollow Bastion trying to find Tron's computer lab I realised I knew where it was, knew how to get there but just couldn't seem to follow my own directions >.> I'd be thinking "Okay next left" then I'd forget that in the intervening seconds and just go straight. I figured if I couldn't even navigate a simple path I was probably done.

I'm probably gonna finish the last few hours sometime soon, just so that whole exercise wasn't wasted icon_razz.gif.

Oh and I'm definitely doing this again, even with the whole nearly passing out thing i still had heaps of fun...definitely a shorter game next time though, that was brutal xD
Re: One Sitting (1 year ago)
Alright i've taken it as far as I can, 18 hours of straight gaming (Started this at 7:30pm last night) and i can barely see straight. Didn't get all the way to the end, but I made it to the final run on Hollow Bastion, with all the other worlds completely finished. Thanks to those who dropped in to watch and suggested games for me, I'll definitely be picking a shorter game next time xD

(i'll probably delete this and rewrite it properly after i sleep, but that's generally what I'm thinking now) Thanks again!
No reason to be sad about masturbating to bear grylls icon_razz.gif

KH2 is a long game icon_razz.gif. Will we be able to see or hear you? I'll tune in tomorrow night anyway, good luck!
Yeah i'll have my mic running but i dunno how much talking I'll be doing icon_razz.gif I'm not even aware of a way to make the procaster /not/ record my voice so that worked out. ^.^;

Edit:

Also on a side note, just so everyone can chuckle at me being an idiot, I forgot i could just stick my ps2 disc of Kingdom hearts 2 in and play it with the emulator. So i wasted 6 gig downloading it -_- then realised i'd downloaded kingdom hearts /1/ not 2. It was only at that point that I remember i could just stick the disc -_-...fffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-

I'm tuned in. When do you start?
Sorry forgot to add that in to the last post >.>

Was gonna start sunday morning, but then pulled my head out of my arse and realised I was risking running into my work time icon_razz.gif so I'll be starting at 7:30pm Tommorrow night. icon_smile.gif

I hope you're taking food/water/toilet breaks if you plan on beating Diablo 2 like that. GL HF smurr!
Hahaha, yeah I'll be dropping out for that stuff so sorry if you're watching but I'd probably explode otherwise icon_razz.gif

I know its a NO to fallout 3/new vegas, but what about original fallout or fallout tactics? I can beta fallout 1 in just under 2 hours or so but that's doing side missions and on easy mode. I also know where everything is..

Tactics you can knock over in a little more. And if you liked fallout, this is a good way to get some back story in the fallout world.

If you feel like something old school, I might even suggest mother 3...my friend wouldn't shut up about it and I got my hands on a copy today and if it wasn't for work, I would have not been able to stop :\

Ill also just say now, shining force 2 and super hydlide on the sega. I sunk sooooo many hours/days/months into those two games as a kid and recently refinished it. They don't make RPG like they used to.

*edit*

O I see you already have a shortlist. I'd put my vote in for dark chronicle. Very very awesome. But not something you can knock over in a weekend :\

How can we watch your livestream?
I honestly never liked the older Fallout's, probably blasphemy but I bought them all and tried them all and just couldn't get into them. I know if i could get into it they get really immerse but the game mechanics just didn't interest me. (Oddly enough I quite enjoy Strat-RPG's which are similar) And fallout was a big one, but i love those games and Fallout 3 (which I've finished about 5 times) I know too well to really enjoy it in this sorta run. (I'm at the point where I've gone to almost everywhere on the map at least once)

TERRANIGMA!

Mother **** best RPG of the 16 bit era that pretty much no one has played.
Hehe, I do recall giving terranigma a tr a while ago and being completely flabbergasted by it icon_razz.gif I do love the old style RPG's (Shining force is one I've sunk many an hour into icon_razz.gif)

------------

Alright I've decided to go with Kingdom Hearts 2 this time, not one of the ones suggested I know but It's one I know can keep me awake. (Because I'm an overly nervous bloke I almost started trying to justify my choice of game here for some reason xD) I'll be streaming it to

http://www.livestream.com/onesittinggaming?t=614190

Hope to see some of you there icon_razz.gif And assuming this goes well and I enjoy the process i might make this a more frequent thing icon_smile.gif

Oh yeah I nearly forgot, I have my snacks!
4ltrs of Pepsi
1.5ltrs of energy drink (the dragon one icon_razz.gif)
2 packets full of chocolate bars (About 25 total)
1 packet of twisties
1 cake (Love mah partner for that one ^.^)

Last but not least, if Kingdom hearts doesn't work properly, or crashes prematurely/won't capture right I'll be falling back on Diablo 2 icon_smile.gif
Re: One Sitting (1 year ago)
Alright I think I've narrowed it down to a short list of Diablo 2 (Normal mode, all 3 difficulties), Kingdom Hearts 2, Jade Empire or perhaps Dark Cloud/Dark Chronicle if I can finda copy of them icon_razz.gif

Thanks for all the suggestions and idea's guys I'll post the link to my livestream tommorrow night with my game choice and starting time (And my collection of snacks if i have them xD. Feel free to drop in and see how i'm doing/remind me how much i'm going to hate myself towards the end icon_razz.gif

Seconded for Jade Empire. Critical path it and it can be done in 12-15 I think.

I've beaten ME1 in one sitting but I knew where everything was.

I think it would be interesting to do Fallout 3 for 12 hours - no story missions.

Guys how long is Chrono Trigger?

Also I would aim towards modern games, older games ran longer.

I have to throw in my favorite Kotor but that might kill you.
I've done Jade Empire before but it is good enough it'd keep me busy with it, that sounds like a short list too icon_smile.gif

Pokemon Fire red/leaf green nuzlocke run.

People watching the livestream get to choose who you train and nicknames.
Oh man, I tried a nuzlocke challenge just by itself once and it nearly murdered me. My poor poor cyndaquil icon_sad.gif

Diablo 2 - all 3 difficulties - in one sitting? Man I don't envy you trying to get through that last one!
Do this... on Hardcore. That will drastically improve your e-peen.
I'm not sure my e-peen could be comfortably contained in my house if i actually managed all 3 difficulties on hardcore >.> Also I'd have to be awake for 2 weeks straight icon_biggrin.gif regular mode though...that's definitely on the short list.
Re: One Sitting (1 year ago)
I had never even heard of eithe of them until you mentioned them icon_razz.gif they look interesting (particularly the rebuilding aspect, I love that sorta stuff) It does look like the sort of game where i'd get distracted trying to completely rebuild everything though which could prove my undoing icon_razz.gif

He said no Ultima games either grim-one icon_sad.gif. Umm I can't think of any awesome ones I played that you could beat it one sitting, Persona 3 and 4 took me like 60 - 80 hours each so that would be suicide.

Maybe both the Paper Marios or Tales of Symphonia or something?
Oh man i was considering one of the persona games for a long time (They're all so good!) but then i looked at my current playthrough of 4, 60 hours in and nowhere near the end, I'm not sure my mind would survive one of those games >.>

I don't get why you would want to do this. Don't you get mental fatigue after a while? I can't even play most games for more than a couple of hours before wanting to do something else. and wont you sleep?

I just don't get the appeal of this plan. o_O
It's mostly cause I can icon_razz.gif I want to see if i can pull it off and still be alive at the end. The only trouble is if I pick a game I don't enjoy it'll turn the entire thing into 20 or more hours of torture >.>

Stonekeep is one of my favourite games. It hasn't aged well, but it is a fantastic grid dungeon crawler.
Dungeon crawlers/action rpg's in particular are of interest to me, I've been looking rather closely at my copy of diablo 2 and wondering if finishing all 3 difficulties would count icon_biggrin.gif
Re: One Sitting (1 year ago)

Maybe have a look through the gog.com RPG catalogue? They're all pretty cheap and good fun.

Arcanum, Baldur's Gate, Gothic, Might and Magic, Neverwinter, Planescape, Stonekeep and Vampire the Masquerade are all brilliant. Not sure if you've played them before, but it'd be more fun if you haven't right? icon_wink.gif
Haha, That was my plan yeah hopefully I'll be able to find one i haven't touched before icon_smile.gif Stonekeep and gothic are both ones I've never played before, I'll give them a closer look, thanks icon_smile.gif

No Final Fantasy? You sure? ;P One day I watched a man attempt to beat FFVII in 24 hours, he kept on getting game overs, but got up to the last boss, but couldn't beat him before time was up, he was raging!

Anyways, what consoles do you have to choose RPGS from? Just the 360?
Hahaha, yeah I'm pretty sure, I want /some/ chance of surviving this icon_razz.gif

Uh, PC, PS2 and PS1, I do have a 360 but i can't stream that cause i don't have a capture card (yet).

if you have pc, try the witcher 2. just picked it up and an hour in and Ive still got an erection!! if limited to consoles, cant really recommended too much, maybe fable 3, but you'd probably need all 3 fables to make it a full weekend
I have been umming and ahhing about that one, I didn't really like the witcher 1 though so I'm a bit iffy on it. and Sorry I must have misspoke up there, not just consoles, PC as well icon_razz.gif.

I would have voted for Fallout: New Vegas, hardcore, hard, being a pacifist but since you already discarded that I'll suggest: Ultima IV, Ultima Underworld, any of the original Fallouts, Dragon Age 1
Fallout new Vegas would have been good but i finished it about 4 times then sold my copy unfortunately, so playing it again would just bore me. Dragon age 1 could be good, i only ever did that one once as a good knight. hmmm
One Sitting (1 year ago)
Well after much internal struggle and debate I've decided to kill as many braincells as possible by picking up a good RPG and trying to finish it in one long sitting. I expect to imbibe roughly my own body weight in snacks, soft drink and energy drinks before I'm through and have a swift heart attack at the end (hopefully after the ending cut scene). I'll also have it running on livestream if anyone feels like dropping by and watching me slowly go mad. (The link for that will come later, once Ive figured out how to view the chat screen in game). Now to the crux of the matter though! I've been wracking my brain and I can't for the life of my figure out which game I want to play!

So here's the real question ladies and gents, can you help me pick an RPG to drown my weekend in? I know there's a large panel of experts around here, I hope to dip into your collective knowledge icon_razz.gif

(oh yeah I should probably add a small list of games I've already considered and discarded - Fallout 3/New Vegas, Mass Effect 1 & 2, Dragon Age 2, Any Final Fantasy (I'd die in the process) or any of the Ultima games)

Thanks!
I hope that you mean March 6 2012 or I've missed out on my looked forward to game of 2012 by quite a bit icon_razz.gif
Re: Choosing a Phone ??? (2 years ago)
If you're willing to wait a little while I'd go for the Samsung Galaxy S 2 or the HTC Incredible 2 both have got an 8mp camera and the S2 can record in FullHD if video is particualrly important to you. If you'd prefer it now though the Galaxy S or Incredible S are both excellent, and as a fan of Sony the Xperia Play looks amazing if you can get one.
Diablo 2 - Lord of Destruction has once again ensnared me in it's addictive tentacles. Started last night and I've got the nice beginings of a paladin avenger going on. (Hell yeah multiple elemental damages from one skill). Finally sorted out playing online as well but haven't really given it much of a chance yet. (Stuff like this is really meant to be played with people you can use talk to and bullshit with while you play imo). Can't wait till diablo 3 finally gets realsed, but it's got a hell of a legacy to live up to icon_biggrin.gif
More of a lukewarm splash of water then a burn really but good try icon_smile.gif *pats head*
