    Longest single game sitting?

    What was the longest one you've been in? As in a single match/game of something and breaks lasting no longer than 1hr.

    Mine would be at a LAN a few years back. Empire Earth 6-way FFA, full epoch range (prehistoric >> nano), some ridiculously large+symmetrical 'moneymap' one of the others prepared with water/rivers/sea and the win condition of last man standing. 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.

    The longest that I can remember was at a LAN where we played a game of Civ 4 for 13 hours. That was pretty awesome especially as it was my first time playing the game It was about 6/7am when we finished lol.

    I remember sitting up all night starting at about 11pm to play American Mcgees Alice when it was first relesed, finished it at around 9.30 the following morning. After that it was 3 to 4 hour stints on the origional Guild Wars.

    Personally not all that long, maybe 12 hours. But some guys go mad on our NWN persistant world - I think the record at the moment is something like 56 hours. We try and boot them off/send dragons if we catch them doing it

    I played through the original Discworld point and Click game on the PS1 in one sitting as I didn't have a memory card at the time. I think I played from 9 in the morning til about midnight with just a couple of toilet/food breaks.

    Nothing like a bit of RSI to finish off a gaming session

    Around 12 hours playing AOE and Total War (had a few America's Army games last about that long in the past too). It's horrible when you stop playing though, you end up with the worst headache's.
