I'll be streaming for 160 out of the 168 hour race coming up.
" Fuck them for not condoning a health threatening choice of yours? yes that's very mature of you. They want you to NOT DIE and you say fuck them? Good on you, you're a complete child. |

" Actually, they never said anything to me. I sent them an email asking what the go was, and I get no reply whatsoever, at all. I can't read minds. |

Kinda scared for you,... and for the game.
Guy dies playing 100 hours straight, violence in video games activist get wind of it and sites it as more proof that video games are dangerous, GGG gets lawsuit for unsafe practices (week long race event), game gets flushed by legal red tape never to be played again. Go to sleep dude!!! |

" If you want a place where everybody is told what they can and cannot do to this extent, head to a country with a controlling dictator. Do you honestly think that twitch not condoning him is going to stop him? If twitch or anybody else thinks that, they are absurdly stupid. Last edited by Xendran#1127 on Jan 16, 2013, 7:01:36 AM

" That's enough of that, thank you. This thread has already been warned for civility. That includes racial/cultural stereotyping. Given the OP's valiant/crazy/suicidal attempt, it'd be a real shame to lock this thing because people couldn't play nice. It really would. If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.
I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period. |

I used that specific area of the world due to the high ratio of controlling government to non-controlling government in comparison to other parts of the world, not based on a "middle eastern countries are bad/all dictatorships" stereotype. I'll edit it if you'd like.

I was really disappointed to tune into your stream this morning and see you creating a chicken bot with AutoIt. I think that it is absolutely amazing that you are playing a 100 hour marathon, but next time, it would probably be a good idea not to stream the creation of an AutoIt chicken bot. I am sure that many of us can understand the frustration of dying, but a good idea is to gain knowledge about the game and learn from your mistakes, rather than create a script to prevent you from dying.
Of course, I do not know the circumstances for your previous deaths, some of them, if not all, could have been the result of glitches/lag/desync, but you have to remember that everyone has to deal with these problems as well during the race, and this is one of the points of the races during the closed beta. I feel that the "I died so I have to create a bot to prevent me from dying" is not the appropriate approach to racing, and it is totally unfair to other competitors. Good luck on the rest of the stream. IGN: makeup @ Domination

"He's simply making a hotkey that he has to press to leave the game. Similar to alt-f4. |
|
"This is why I laugh at anyone bragging about playing HC. When the going gets tough, or you're about to die... terminate the program! lol. |
|
|
Not to bring up D3 but they did do HC right. They have the logout and disconnect timer. Regardless if you force quit the game you still have to go through the timer, prevents people from Alt+F4 and even from people yanking out there internet cords.
On topic: following this thread since the beginning this guy didnt seem like he had it all there to start with. If you want to play for 100 hours straight congrats....but you can't blame 3rd party sites for not supporting your madhouse RL achievement points.... "Beta"
