My first Gaming Marathon!

[ANUPLUCIFERGAMER]

Hey guys! So, I'm thinking to have a Gaming Marathon this weekend. By this weekend, I mean, Friday,Saturday,Sunday,Monday,Tuesday. I'm keeping this short as I'm having 'xams and i gotta study hard. So, I'm just keeping it for 5 days. Well, I'm also thinking of having another Marathon in the summer when we have 62 days holiday. I can also buy games on the steam summer sale then. I have chosen these games to play, with their play time and day. It might get changed as it depends upon my mood.

I might play Dark Souls  If i get the game within time and also the 360 Controller.

 

I'm getting 3 pizzas and sprite. Some fruits.That's it. 

 

I'm just worried if sitting so long in front of a pc, will something happen to my eyes or something? Many say sitting infront of the computer or the TV can give you headache and eye pain. is it true? If yes, what other activities should i do?What all other things should I keep in my mind? The only person I know who did a marathon is @Vitalius here. May be he can help

 

And, i'm also thinking to stream it. With a 25 Kbps upload speed? Is it also possible? Or should I just use a screen recording software. Or just go on without recording?

 

Thanks

P.S, i have many other games to play. but no time . check my steam account to see the games. I have other non steam games too. ex: LoL,WoW,hearthstone,call of juarez,marine sharp shooter 2.

Feel free to add any game if needed. Thinking of adding Borderland 2 on sunday.

Not possible. I tried streaming with my 1Mbps upload. It won't work cause you gotta allow some bandwidth for audio too. So in the end, your video will look super crappy. You can test out the quality on OBS though. Just stream to a file and set the bitrate of your audio + video to your upload speed. Maybe lower the framerate and resolution. It could be decent, but highly unlikely .

[SirRoderick]

What the hell is the point of planning your gaming? Just do whatever stries your mood at the moment

 

For streaming you need a much faster upload connection though. And it's very system intensive.

[Teller]

Yeah you're looking at around 3mb/s for 720p video at 30 fps.

I did this once, I took my laptop to school and played games on it, during class. Played minecraft and a variety of games that day all in class. Good thing my high school is an old college so the teacher doesn't see what's on our screens

I don't think it's better option to stream as no one might see it.

There is no way you are going to be able to play Civ 5 for just 3 hours. Once you get started, you don't stop.

Depends, I usually play 2-3 hours and save my game and come back later

Then you have some serious self control. If I ever save a game, I won't come back to it. I have hundreds of unfinished games.
