    You're all lame. When I got Dune on the PC 10 1/2 years go (jeeeeeez that's a long time ), I sat down and played, and played, and played, until I realised I could no longer feel my bum at all. Probably 6+ hours right there, although for all I know it could have been 10, I was that immersed.

    Then about three years ago I got a copy of Bust-A-Move 2 on the Saturn. I got home from work, had my dinner, and sat down to start playing at 8pm. Next thing I know, I looked at my watch and it was 4am and I hadn't moved an inch. Even then I didn't want to turn it off.

    For me, its probably Command and Conquer, on the Playstation. Me and a mate plaed that for hour after hour after hour. Neither of us died from DVT though, because we moved about, and went for a pizza, and went to the bog, and stuff.

    Which is what amazes me... how can you sit still, for 10 hours?

    I think you need Attention Deficit Disorder mate. I can't concentrate on anything useful like my job or my uni work, but I can focus on computer games for 8 hours no problemo.

    I can focus on games for 8 hours, but I wouldn't do it without popping down for a snack, or going the toliet, or putting some music on, or this, or that, or the other. This kid sat there, and never moved, for all that time.

    Amazing.

    bad parenting.. they should have atleast let him sit on the sofa
    longest ive played, that i can remember was during games of diablo2 - one of the best games ive played. i didnt play much of single player only over lan and ocmpleated it. i think ive played from aobut 4pm untill about 6am before in one sitting, but that would have involved lots of moving - dinner, snaks, getting drinks, going for a piss, walking to brothers room to see which rare items he has found in d2 etc..
    i have however blacked out before from standing up after being still for too long - only twice though have i fell over but i could get up straight away and was fine, btw i like the dizzy feeling before, and the 20 or so seconds after falling over where you cant remember exactly what happened

    Even if I'm on the computer a lot - I have to get up and go for a walk every hour - sitting around for hours is just mad!
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
