What's the longest continous period of time you've spent gaming continuously?

[Zugzwang152]

thanks to MMO's that number is measured in days, not hours, and I'm not at liberty to say

 

[glen]

close to and maybe over 40 hours many many times in EQ.

 

[BurnItDwn]

I've never timed it ... but I do recall 3 day weekend long lan parties with no sleep. Though we would stop for 30 mins at a time twice a day to eat, and we all took bathroom breaks when required. I'd say over 40 hours ... though if you mean without even eating or pissing, then probably about 12 hours.

 

[BeauJangles]

Rome Total War - 24 hrs

 

[Blayze]

around 12 hours (Quake 1 LAN party, yeah its been awhile)

 

[TimMyMac]

I've pulled some 12 or 15 hour runs at lan parties back in the day. before everybody got Wives and kids.

only break for restrooms and to grab another Dr. Pepper.

Re: the topic. Welcome to the department of redundancy department.

On topic: 13 hours playing Final Fantasy 1.

 

[dc]

i've done 40+ a few times with civ/civ2

 

[So]

I've spent more than 10 hours straight on a civ3 game before, if you sum nonconsecutive sessions, I've had Civ3 games that ran >52 hours.

 

[Martin]

11:45

I hadn't played anything in about a year and a half, when I finished my exams last year. I installed civ3 and did not remove myself from the computer until I noticed the sun was up.

 

[Bolvangar]

literally days of playing 10six, (now known as project visitor) with my cousin, only stopping for food and bathroom!

 

[TechnoKid]

me and my buds had a 24hr lan a couple years back. it got tiring quick, but it was 24hrs.

 

[Amaroque]

When I was younger, I would literally play Decent 2 all weekend, except for sleeping. Easily 10 hour stretches at a time.

Same thing with the original Unreal. Only with that game, I'd go for 16, to maybe 20 hours at a time.

 

[Malak]

Did some Tony Hawk for 8 hours straight. Played Kohan for like 10-12.

 

[Chaotic42]

I used to pretty much live with two friends who had a lan in one of the spare bedrooms in high school. We played a lot of Diablo, Shadow Warrior, Duke3D, etc.

Maybe 12 hours with breaks?

 

[Skyclad1uhm1]

Not sure for my personal record. Probably around 30-40 hours. A friend of mine once played a MUD 72 hours straight.

 

[Sahakiel]

I once did a stint of about 36 hours on Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. No eating, drinking, bathroom break, nothing. I racked up over 7000 kills on the same server. I hit my personal high of 84 kills in one 15 minute round. For some reason, the complaints of cheating were more numerous than usual.
Nowadays, I take breaks and stop myself after 12 hrs. Oh, and I quit MOH:AA. Too many whiners.
Now I play WoW. Too many griefers.
Go figure.

 

[quakefiend420]

probably about 8 hours on quake 2 back in the day

 

[EmoHawk]

From around 16:00 to 05:30 on the day the xbox was released, March 10th I believe , they were the good ol' days!!

 

[cosine17]

some people are crazy. ive been hardcore addicted to games and even I have only done a max of 5 hrs.

 

[Stumps]

9hrs was the longest, I played doom for the SUPER NINTENDO from start to finish, that was back in 1995, i haven't been able to repeat that since.

 

[StrangerGuy]

I have gamed a continuous 16 hours before...Save for some toliet and drink breaks.

 

[Haps]

I'm usually good for a 15hr stint every weekend in EQ2. I have also had 12hr sessions maybe 10 times in the last month.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

For me probably 1-5 hours range

I haven't seriously played a game in ages :Q

 

[ggnl]

I used to do 16-18 hours fairly regularly when I was younger. I still do 12 hour sessions occasionally (only with my SO's permission though).
