Do you guys play video games for more then 9 hours a day?

[tec699]

We are having this discussion over at the UT2K4 forums and they think a 9 hour gaming marathon is weak. These guys game for 15+ hours at lan tournaments easily! :Q

So I guess 9 hours is over doing it, but 15+ hours of gaming goodness?

Damn...

 

[imported_Nail]

No, but I game for less than nine hours daily.

 

[PowderBB3D]

I game for about 2 hours a week... might change when D3 arrives.

 

[Psycho18]

I don't know. I've never kept track of time while I gamed.

 

[Zim Hosein]

When I'm off from work, I game about 1-2 hours be it my PC or one of my console systems

 

[vi edit]

My absolute worse was the release of the original Baldurs Gate. I gamed for 26 hours straight before collapsing

But the original Diablo probably consumed my life more than any other game ever released. 9 hours really was a pretty short span of time to play that game.

But, now that I have a full time job & life my gaming is cut down to a few hours here and there.

On days where i feel lazy i top out at 2 games of TOB max which is about 2 hours and under. Typically its just 1 game. I think those guys doing 15hrs a day are pretty pathetic.

 

[Dacalo]

What luxury...

I am lucky if I get an hour of playing time

 

[JohnAn2112]

I play games for about 8 hours a day at work, then an hour or two at home.

This is going to be the case for alot of us. First week D3 arrives the traffic on the forums is going to drop.

not currently but i have

I beat MGS2 in 1 sitting, 16 hours of goodness

i have been known to play FF games for days on end

 

[BurnItDwn]

I used to do it all the time.

recently 1 or 2 hours seems to be the longest I play anything. However, if I'm at a Lan ... then I'll get a good 16+ hours in a day.

Back in high school, I would on occasion pull an all nighter or a full day on a new RPG during a weekend or summer vacation. Don't think I've come anywhere near that since I graduated high school. I play Civ3 on occasion for up to 4 hours in a session on weekends.

 

[Queasy]

I used to be real bad about playing Civ I and II. I'd start playing and the next thing I knew, it was 4 or 5 am. Now a days, I'm lucky to get in two hours a week.

 

[kyparrish]

no but i'd love to

 

[sniperruff]

and i thought it was too much when i skipped 2 classes to play 6 hours straight of CS! you people have some serious problems!!!

 

[Gurck]

Not in a while, it happened here & there when I used to play EQ It's a bit pathetic, yes - but then so is denying yourself all worldly pleasure. I don't get people who live to work. We have ~75 years here, I want to enjoy mine as much as I can.

 

[Epoman]

I play old school games mostly. But I love my XBOX.

 

[OCNewbie]

I've played Everquest for 18 hours straight when I first got into it, then over 20 hours straight once a while back.

 

[xcript]

Nope.

 

[dighn]

rarely. if i find a good engrossing single player game like deus ex, kotor or chrono trigger, i can play for 12 hours straight :Q

but normally i just play less than a couple of hours a week

 

[Atomicus]

My friend throws a lan once in a while at his house. We once crammed i think 13 people in the basement and played from noon til noon. 24hrs > their weak 15 and it was crappy games like CS, SC, and Q3! :Q

 

[EXman]

only Everquest and 9 hours was weak but it was so boring at the same time,,,

 

[stickybytes]

When games come in mind, i think of the amazing feat i accomplished when i completed metal gear solid 2. Spent all day on it, i think it was about 6 hours. Thats quite a amazing feat considering i have a tendency not to finish my games . Yep, thats the closest i've come to a "gaming marathon".

 

[Ameesh]

no but i wish i had the time
