What Was Your Longest Gaming Session? - Aug 29, 2004 13:54
My longest gaming session, with only restroom breaks and to run to the kitchen for food to eat while playing, was a little more than 24 hours...maybe 25 hours at best.

At a LAN party I played from 5:30 Friday to 2-3AM on a Sunday. Only stopping for food and the loo. In fact the only way I found out I fell asleep at 2-3AM was my friends saying that when they noticed I wasn' t doing much after I re-spawned. I also Timed my breaks between games so I would go to the Loo, grab some food and be back in time for the next game.

Once when I was in hospital with a dislocated hip I was played Resident Evil 3 right through, which took me 27 hours. I didn' t even have to get up as I was waited on for food, and the loo was this bag and tube that was connected to my.........

I play games too much. Although I would like to break the 30 hour barrier.

I remember when I got chicken pox, and played about 12 - 15 hours a day...for about two weeks.

If you' ve never gotten the chicken pox as an adult, stay far away from anyone who has them...it' s much harder on adults...no it' s waaaaaaaaaaay harder on adults!!!

...and there' s no real relief until their gone...

Thanks to gaming, and my electric fan, I was able to get through that period.

the longest length is less thn 5 hours...I dont find any games valuable enough to be played more than that length...plus, my stomach grumbles if I play too much and I dont want to hurt my eyes, I have 20/10 vision last time I read a chart , thank God for that, I dont want to regret damaging my eyes because " you don' t realize what u have until you lose it."
Games I want: Starcraft: Ghost (went to gamestop and saw it on the shelf labeled " coming soon, reserve your copy today"
Halo 2

Years ago a mate of mine got Fighters Megamix. He went on holiday for a day or two after getting it and I borrowed it off him. I must have spent 12 hours playing through it trying to unlock all the characters. I did eventually and felt like a gaming god. 12 or more hours I think that took. Funnily though I went back to the game a year or so after and got my ass handed to me.

I usually play for an hour or two when I sit down to play anything.
My longest session was probably at a LAN party I went to awhile back.
Probably played for about 10 - 12 hours.

I just can' t play games for that long; I' m an active person, and I need to get up and move around a lot. Normally, my gaming sessions go between 1-2 hours, although with RPG' s and deeper games, they can go 3-4.

The longest session I' ve had is probably with Final Fantasy Tactics, and that was only 6 hours (straight). With taking little breaks for food and such, I think I played games like Super Mario Kart, FFT, Castlevania: SotN, and FF VII for like 8-10 hours.

I think my eyes would fall out of my head if I played for days straight. The longest I can play is about 3-4 hours.

My longest gaming session was very similar to yours DaRoosh :)

I just came off of a 17 hour gaming session with Sega' s Virtua Fighter Cyber Generation (aka Virtua Quest) this past weekend.
