What is probably the longest amount of time you have stayed at your computer for?

[monk3y]

No getting up for anything, and I mean ANYTHING!!!

Back in high school I used to stay on my computer from i'd say 7:30 PM to about 4:00 AM without getting out of my seat for anything.... that's a good 8 1/2 hours
Counterstrike was REALLY addictive

 

[Beattie]

A few hours at most... maybe 5 max. I get all fidgety and have to move around.

 

[Nitemare]

A couple of hours...Gots to go get liquid refreshments periodically as well as visit the facilities.

 

[grr8scott]

bout 10 hrs, BUT, thats with an electric cooler by my side loaded with Dew..

no potty breaks either...

 

[TallBill]

well... probably 30 hours.. yes.. without getting up for anything

 

[DnetMHZ]

does carrying your wireless laptop into the bathroom count?

 

[SpecialEd]

I work at a computer 9 hours a day, five days a week. But I get up and do other stuff too. But i have definitely had stretches of at least 5 hours w/o getting up. Not too often though.

 

[vi edit]

I drink too damn much fluids to keep sitting for more than an hour or two.

As for a car though, I can easily last 6 hours behind a wheel before I need to pull over for a potty break. In fact, I usually outlast the gas tank. On long trips.

Being under the influence of certain drugs can cause you to lose track of time. When I was younger and into that (not anymore, screws with yer head too much), I was on play Unreal infiltration for 28 hours....

 

[Silverforce]

Only a few hours tops.. i like to drink coffee while im on the computer playing or working. Hence, drinking will cause me to need to ease my bladder every few hours.

 

[StageLeft]

Prolly only a couple hours as part of a 12-14 hour session.

 

[Elledan]

Without leaving my seat for anything? Hmm... probably something like 3-4 hours. I'm careful not to strain my eyes too much and take breaks at (semi-)regular intervals.

Damn habbits

 

[hoihtah]

yeah... it's definately necessary to take breaks every once in awhile.

it's not good for your health.

just sitting in my chair all day long at work is killing my back.

 

[Belegost]

47 hours. My friend bet me I couldn't beat XCom at one sitting, I won that bet. I pee'd for about a week when I finished.

 

[ViperXX]

Damn you guys must have bladders the size of the Hidenburg. I have to get up at least once every 2hrs to make pee pee.

 

[Swag1138]

Probably somewhere between 8 and 10 hours. I used to sit and mess around with stuff (light coding, html stuff, message boards, roleplay boards, mudds, etc....) I would grab a 2 litre and a bag of chips and Id be set

 

[MustPost]

<<47 hours. My friend bet me I couldn't beat XCom at one sitting, I won that bet. I pee'd for about a week when I finished. >>

lol, for some reason I find that really funny.

 

[CraigRT]

15 hours... LAN party from 11AM 'til like 4AM roughly... quite a large amount of fun!

 

[Desturel]

38 hours. Fridge on one side of me. Stack of DVDs on the other side. Blank CDRs in front of me. I decided that I wouldn't buy another DVD until I had finished watching all of the ones I hadn't opened yet. So I had a mini-marathon where I did nothing but watch DVDs, burn stuff from my hard drive and drink OJ.

Of course I could have gone longer, but drinking that much OJ I had to go to the bathroom. After that it was another 14 hours before I finished. I get formal training for long duty since I work 12 hour shifts at my job and I normally skip my lunch break so I can cut out early.

 

[glen]

48 hours
EverQuest

 

[Mem]

Hmmm probably about 6 or 7 hrs max without moving from my PC chair.

 

[MWink]

I'll tell you when (if) I get up.

 

[DurocShark]

12 hours. Back when I used to build pr0n sites, I had one a guy said he'd give me a $1000 bonus if I got it up by 5am. That included indexing 2000 images, graphics and navigation, and db work on the server remotely.

I was tempted to re-fill my super big gulp my wife brought me while I was working. I got the site up by 4:30, got the bonus, and decided even a thousand dollars wasn't enough for the pain my kidneys were in.

HURTS!

 

[yakko]

I drink a lot of water while at my computer so I don't think I have ever gone over 3 or 4 hours max.

 

[obiwaynekenobi]

about 24 hours. if you exclude getting up to go to that bathroom somewhere in the vicenty of 50. after about 30 hours I've usualy drank about 3 liters of Mt Dew
