How long have you played video-games non-stop?

[om3ga]

I've played GTA: Vice City for nearly 10 hours non-stop, but damn:

SEOUL (Reuters) - A South Korean man who played computer games for 50 hours almost non-stop died of heart failure minutes after finishing his mammoth session in an Internet cafe, authorities said on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old man, identified only by his family name Lee, had been playing on-line battle simulation games at the cybercafe in the southeastern city of Taegu, police said.
Lee had planted himself in front of a computer monitor to play on-line games on August 3. He only left the spot over the next three days to go to the toilet and take brief naps on a makeshift bed, they said.

sorry 4 him, but this guy was kind of out of mind!

Yep - he was seriously obsessed with gaming:

"Lee had recently quit his job to spend more time playing games"

once I drank a gingseng tea to play more than 20 hours no-stop
it was funny... then I slept for 18h

I think maybe he was ill to begin with and may not have known it.

I think I've only played a game for maybe three hours straight.
Pong was so addicting!

Eh, personal best would be @ 28h at a LAN party... Be advised NOT to persue that goal, it just wears you out completely...

Video games are great! I average around 9 hours max. Poor fellow. He obviously couldnt access freeones...

 

[eseeker]

Definitely sounds like a guy with serious mental issues... to say the least...

 

[Death]

Played Halo for 5 hours, Resident evil 4 for 6 hours. Diablo 2... don't get me started..

 

[eseeker]

Depends on the gameplay, of course...
Diablo (1 + exp, 2 + exp) definitely had me pinned down for a long time, but what really *breaks* you are these new floods of MMORPG's...

 

[Jizm]

Anything to break away from reality...

civilization 3, possibly the most addicting game,

"just one more turn"

I guess it doesn't matter how much you play but you still have to eat... maybe sleep... or take the occasional shit.

I LOVE playing video games but there is more to life like HEALTH, SEX, FOOD, BEER, and FREEONES!

I guess my longest gaming session was at a LAN party, playing "Unreal Tournament" for 13 hours.
