I've done 5 days non stop gaming I just had to remember to have my food & drink brought to me!

I've done a 48 hour session once back in Everquest of solid raiding, wouldn't dream of doing anything over a few hours now though (the chance would be a fine thing!) Use to fall asleep at my keyboard now and again.

Looking back it's scary to think how addicted I'd become, luckily friends and family are more important to me now.

If he was raiding, imagine the DKP he must've got :eek:

Longest session i had was at uni where we all our pcs set up in the dining area of the kitchen. Played RA2 for around 20hours or so, 6 of us all going for it.

Other than that, have played Heroes 4 for many an allnighter, then popped to the offy to pick some booze and pro plus.

Those were the days.

the longest i went was 97 hours, and that was when i was playing lineage 2, grinding, killing the same mobs over and over again.

Article is too vague. People don't die from fainting or staying up for three days.

He was probably doing it too regularly.

Pfft. Amateur.

I played Roller Coaster Tycoon for 5 days straight except for bathroom breaks and felts fine afterwards. Well, fine after i slept for almost 36 hours straight afterwards.

this guys must have had some mental problems,
3 days online WTF,

ok my addiction to WoW is big but when i have to go to bed at 10pm i do so as i have work the next day

(sometimes i allow an extra 30 min if stuck in instance LOL),

I've had plenty of three day Lan parties, and just felt a tad knackered afterwards. what a wuss

Byron5184 · 19 Sep 2007 at 12:02

He must have been playing Eve Online. 3 days solid staring at an ice belt will kill anyone.

Kodiak · 19 Sep 2007 at 12:17

Meh, keep hearing this same story. Strange though that everyone has jumped onto WoW being that game he was playing, since there is no mention of what game he was playing in the article. TBH, it would make little difference. Read similar stories about people dieing playing CS and other MMO's. Seems like some people dont know that they are addicted until its far too late.

wow, that took some doing. Best I managed was 36 hours straight on Civ and a few 3 day LAN's with about 2-3 hours kip each night.

Typical, I wondered why our priest didnt come back online after he lost conn

Tom|Nbk · 19 Sep 2007 at 14:23

Wtf. I couldn't even stay up 5 hours on a game mainly because my attention span is atrocious and I'd get ridiculously bored.
