» Mon Oct 25, 2010 3:03 pm

I dont even know where Im going to be 10 months from now. Doubt it will be a 24 hr. play session though

24 hours? Make it atleast 48+ hours. Then we're talking! I will play Skyrim until my fingers break from playing.

That ship has sailed my friend, can as well make it 30-ish. :frog:

Depending on if I can get the game on the 11th, I'm sure I'll put in a good amount of hours. But definitely not 24!

ill play skyrim for six hours on its release date

I'm going to invite a few friends over and I'll start the game up. That OR I'll completely seclude myself for a good few hours.

Here is my plan.

1.Go to midnight release at Gamestop
2.Get home around 1:00 and play until I have work.
3.Get home from work play until I have work the next day
4. Spend time with my friends sporadically(optional)

72 hours marathon here. sleeping included of course. 5-6 mates. 1 basemant. lots of food and beverage. skyrim. instant awesomeness guaranteed!

24 hours to me would be unrealistic but 12 to 16 hours for me playing is certainly possible.

Pick it up at gamestop at 12am come home take care of the baby,once shes asleep.Play for a good long while. :ninja:

I will go to the midnight release! Then school that day where I will not be dioxides at all. Then te rest of that week we have off always. I usually use it for COD but with Skyrim out I'll wait for MW3 till summer haha

Unfortunately, my real life won't be giving me any time off during that time :sad:

Seeing how it releases on a Friday, this is quite feasible. Turn off the lights. Turn up the speakers. Complete bliss for 24, nay 48 hours.

I just hope my dorm roomate likes Skyrim too. :sadvaultboy:

Won't play it on release as it's the same day as the fella's birthday, but I have got the following week off work :thumbsup: Probably won't have massively long gaming sessions though, as I tend to get headaches if I stare at a screen for too long.

:) In Canada (we have remembrance day, same thing. honor the people who sacrificed themselves in Canadian wars.) it is a big holiday with ceremonies and everything, we get to stay home. I will have to go to one of these ceremonies but it will be a welcome break after playing all night. I will need to buy a better chair if I am going to play without breaking my back

Not sure if this was mentioned or not, but Sadly, only 2 or 3 provinces in Canada has Rememberance Day as a holiday. In Ontario, it is not a holiday.

That shouldn't be much of a problem after you've absorbed the awesome Viking power from the rugged landscape of Skyrim. Your roommate will be as afraid as a Bosmer cornered by a Nord!

NOT 24 hours but most of the day then Yes!

» Mon Oct 25, 2010 8:32 am

I will play it for as long as I can, but school, exercise, social life etc. all get in the way of a 24 hour marathon. Not to mention the fact that I need my 6 hours beauty sleep. :sleep2: :sleep2:

» Mon Oct 25, 2010 1:43 pm

Have my daughter on Friday's, but I will probably book a day or two off if the release date has no sounds of moving.

I too wish I had the life a Patriarch.

It's a tough life. You post 10 posts a day on a forum, study during the week, and have drunken six in the weekends.

i'm gonna spend as much time on Skyrim as i can!!!

» Mon Oct 25, 2010 6:55 pm

Just 24 hours? Seems kinda low to me!

A true TES fan should be able to go for days - until we either pass out or the Mt. Dew supply dries up (or equivalent drink).

I'm sure I can get at least 36 hours out of my 40-year old frame, but if its Really good, then 48. :yes:

» Mon Oct 25, 2010 2:04 pm

Ill play it till i get tired. Not going to set arbitrary time scales on myself. My body's health is more important than all the gaming in the world, because without my body, I can not game.

Though the first day of play will probably be about 12-16 hours. (not including breaks)

» Mon Oct 25, 2010 4:53 pm

Probably not, I have 6th form - but I reckon I'll have clocked 50 hours in the first week

and about 25 thereon after that for a month. I'm gonna take the game real slow as well and not rush through the MQ.
