Longest Gaming Session In A Single Day?

[Ciddy]

Uh....something like 12, I think. When Wrath of the Lich King came out, I did a "marathon" thing with a group of guildies to level. We made a 5-man group and just did quests/dungeons together.

That happened back when I was in college. I can't do super long gaming sessions like that anymore. My typical sessions these days are maybe a couple of hours at a time. Even in a game like Skyrim or WoW, I rarely play longer than that. Maybe a bit longer on off nights when I don't have to work the next day and can stay up a bit later.

Like 2 to 3 days, at LAN parties/conventions, at the point where just a few seconds of sitting down without having anything to focus on makes you fall asleep.

It's especially funny at conventions, when everyone hits that moment, past about a day of staying awake continuously, where they just start behaving like they're high, doing and saying really weird stuff. At that point you almost can't fall asleep, since if you do you're an easy target.

Obviously, for "a single day" it would be 24 hours.

24 or gtfo

I'm glad this was second.

Back during the golden era of the PS1 and PS2 where new RPG's were released on a fairly frequent basis it wasn't unusual for me to spend hours at a time indulging in them. I think my longest session was roughly 12 hours, though I made sure that I took breaks to go to the toilet, eat, drink and get some fresh air.

24 hour charity live stream was my longest session, not very long in comparison to some but I had a great time.

probably like 17 or 18.
Eventually my eyes just give up and start to go crazy.
Plus sleep eventually starts to look fun.

Do 16 when ever I don't have work usually, and have done quite a few 36 hours, but I try to avoid having them fuck up my sleeping pattern.

I played WoW for about 36 hours straight once. Just played WoW and watched Fringe. Never again.

I hope it was at least S1/2 of Fringe and not the last few seasons.

MOP launch.

34 hours ~_~"

Depends on what I was doing. How about them 3PM to 3AM raiding sessions? Leveling sessions last pretty long... 17 hours.

24/7 was standard back in the day. But nowadays I don't really like games that much anymore so haven't done it in a while.

I think it was a marathon of the s1-3 dvds.

I've done more than a fair share of a full 24 hour day. Honestly the 24 hours of gaming isn't that hard, it's everything you have to do after those 24 hours, just like with any other all-nighter.

Isn't that interesting? I remember playing hours upon hours of old WoW, GC, and PS2 back in the day. Now I can barely play 3 hours straight of anything before feeling bored.

24 under the single day limit. Otherwise 50-60 hours, roughly 3 days before giving in to the sandman.

Ikr? I've grown so bored of games that it justified a purchase of a second monitor just so I don't have to tab out every time I get bored of playing.

Maybe 16-18 hours playing WoW or AvP2 when I was younger. Nowadays, I can't play a single game for longer than 4-5 hours without taking at least an hour break.
