Should I do a 24 hour livestream with the Oculus Rift?

Hey guys, I'm planning on leaving out of town for Xmas and I plan on taking my gaming pc plus Oculus Rift with me. I'm wanting to hear if I should do a Oculus Rift 24 hour marathon (without any breaks) because personally I'd think this would be a challenge (because I hear people usually get eye strain and (or) nausea within 5 - 6 hours) The most I've played the rift without taking the rift off was about I think 8 to 10 hours (because I was playing Half life 2 (all the way through) and didn't take a single break. (And I didn't have any eye strain or nausea).

But with a 24 hour livestream, I plan on playing games like Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Zombies, Battlefield 4. Minecraft and maybe even some user voted titles. Plus all you rifters can join the stream and put your rifts on and watch what I'm seeing.

I think you should take care of you're health.

well, it's a free country....
having said that, a live stream for the OR is kind of pointless. you can't explain how it feels to see things through the OR from a regular screen. all that people would see is some dude wearing a headset, and a screen displaying 2 identical images....pretty pointless.

you pretty much have to wear the OR to experience it. looking at a screen of someone else playing doesn't do anything.

so yea knock yourself out...

HELL NO I have played with the oculus rift for 17 hours and was not very pleased with the feeling afterwards.

Today i've played half-life 2 for six hours without taking the rift off whatsoever and for brief time right after i finally put it off, maybe 5 minutes, it felt funny to look around using my eyeballs, but other than that, there was literally nothing. So as long as you take necessary precautions -have eaten firmly and have liquids in direct proximity- there should be nothing to worry about.

I think you should take care of your grammar.

Is there even enough rift material yet to cover 24 hours?
