    Re: Longest single game sitting?

    My misses doesn't let me play games for any length of time anymore

    (Soo under the thumb)

    I used to have monster UT99 sessions with a USA based clan, so it was from 4pm all night through to about 6-7am when it was like 8-9pm for them!

    Re: Longest single game sitting?

    Wow you guys play a lot longer than I would have,

    longest I think for me on a single game (map etc) would possibly be Command and Conquer Red Alert 1! - around 12 hours
    I can watch my computer screen for a lot longer at once, watching films, playing games and a mixture of other things
    Woohoo now Assistant Manager!

    Re: Longest single game sitting?

    Finished playing through Half life 2 -> Episode 2 in one single sitting about 3 hours ago. Something i have wanted to do for a while and really enjoyed it apart from bad timing... Had to do it this day because its the last weekend of reading week, but i was up on CS:S yesterday till 8am so had no sleep that night either!

    Started at midnight this morning and finished at 5pm. That's around 16hours as i only got up to use the loo. didn't sleep and didn't eat at all really, had a few chocolate bars, I was DAMN hungry after so i just made 4 victory Burgers

    Re: Longest single game sitting?

    Back in the late 90's, i spent a weekend at my mates who got a new PC (i didn't have one at that time, or a console).
    Warcraft 2.
    24 1/2 hours, only coffee breaks (to make mind you, since you drink as you play) and toilet breaks interupted. I seem to remember eating lots of pringles too.
    My wrist, fingers, eyes and neck hurt afterwards.
    It was worth it.

    Football manager (original ZX spectrum version by Addictive Games) spent many hours on this at most a 8 hour stint.

We also made an agreement that full out hostilities would be banned until we got to the Renaissance epoch, although I remember pushing for allowing small scouting parties

    Anyway, long story short, I lasted about ~22hrs when I nuked by subs and bombers on all fronts about 30secs after teching to digital, followed swiftly by a bunch of tanks and mechs
    3rd place 'prize' was a good snooze, lol.
    Took 22 hours to level up?

    And for me I'm not sure. Regularly go to LANs which last about 30 hours or so but get some sleep in the middle.

    Think longest is probably 15 or 16 hours on all kinds of games when I get into them. I remember completing super metroid in one day
