Enter that into a media player, preferably VLC Media Player because you can save the stream. By the time you read this post and view the stream, you will be close to 4.5 hours into the stream. This is the XBOX 360 version, but it is still impressive. Enjoy.

That link looks suspicious to me. I mean, there's no reason that a simple video file should have a link that long. And why should it need to specify a port?

It is not a suspicious link.

It's from Gamespot, and they want to make you pay for it or some shit.

I can wait to pick up my Collector's Edition tomorrow, thanks.

You are an idiot. You do not have to pay. I paid for nothing.

Fuck you, dipshit.

Note the word "subscribers". You are supposed to pay. I'm perfectly correct, and you're being a dick because somebody smarter than you figured out a way to stream it without having to pay.

Way to make a first impression.

Well, I admit that I was wrong. Sorry. A friend of mine gave me the link. I just saw a few arena battles. It is quite exciting.

No problem. Being able to admit when you're wrong is a valuable thing here on SDnet.

I knew that as soon as I posted my mistake that I should have checked Gamespot.

Edit: Kasavin just battled a vampire.

? I'm sorry, but I'm looking forward to playing Oblivion as much as the next guy... but *watching* some rube play the *360* version simply doesn't appeal. I'd rather do something fun, and just play the damn thing myself when it comes out.

Which, in Australia, will probably be in one million years.

I'm betting on a Saturday release here, myself.

EDIT: I'm watching this. Poor guy has some sort of Zombie Rot and something else he got from the vampire. And his enchanted warhammer is out of charges so it doesn't have an on-hit proc anymore. Poor guy doesn't know where to go to get that stuff fixed.

And now he's a vampire!

I watched a few minutes last night, and again this morning. I managed to avoid any new spoilers. But the guy playing the game is an absolute idiot. "Hey, lets charge these goblins instead of rolling logs down them!" And he just about got his ass kicked in the process.

I have it for the Xbox 360, despite the fact that I don't yet have a 360. I know that's kind of pathetic, but my computer won't run it, and I wanted to be sure to get the Collector's Edition. I'll probably be getting a 360 next week, but until then all I can do is enjoy the Behind the Scenes DVD and the Guide to the Empire book that came with the game...

I'll probably pick it up tomorrow. Collector's Edition of course.

My collector's edition is pre-ordered, it's out here on friday. I watched a little of the stream, and the guy playing it got on my nerves.

The way he kept saying "die" so flatly was pissing me off. The game seemed to be running very nicely on the 360 though, loads times were minimal. He mentioned that it crashed at one point though.

PC Collector's Edition.

Oh it's awesome. So very awesome. I can't run it maxed out, but even at high-middling graphics, it's amazing.

I just wish I knew how the hell to do that persuasion minigame...
