In one session, how long do you think you could game for?

If I tried, I could probably game for about 12-16 hours straight without too much issue (except maybe hunger). The longest I've gamed for is about 8 hours.

That's better than me. I've never finished that game. Ever.creationis apostate said:
I used to pull 16 hour sessions of WOW on top of 12 hour shifts at work. Ya, I know there's some overlap there, I played at work too. I think I could go 3 days straight, probably more given enough Mtn Dew and tacos. Don't really want to put that to the test though...
I literally cannot go for more than three, four hours before I have to turn it off and have a cigarette. I used to be able to play all day, but I work full time in between college semesters, so I rarely have the energy to do that anymore. I'll play for a few hours then go outside, check the forums I like to read, download some music, whatever.
I do remember playing Dragonball Z: Budokai 3 for about sixteen hours with my friends once in high school, though.

Probably around 15 hours, and even then I had to get up quite a few times. I can't sit still for really long periods of time without freaking out.
Can I sleep and it still be called a gaming session?
If not, then I could probably make it for about 24 hours before the dark, cold hands of sleep would take me.

I might have gotten to 6 hour territory, if we're allowing for quick bathroom breaks (actually, I probably got close to that with my recent P4 sessions). Generally, I don't have binge sessions, though I can still get quite obsessed for periods of weeks.

Gaming might be awesome and everything but I have a very firm threshold of 18 hours, the pain starts to kick in at about 10, then gets progressively worse from there until it becomes intolerable to even keep my eyes open by 18.
Even when I do manage an 18 hour session, it's always semi-drunk and in the company of good friends.
When I first got my hands on Minecraft 17 hours evaporated before I realized I was in the grasp of the most addictive substance that could possibly be conceived with me as a personal target in mind. I've done 30 hrs of straight work-at-my-job-then-come-home-and-work-in-the-studio just because I was trying to get something done and I wouldn't stop until I was finished. I spent one spring break of straight 15 hr days in the studio with nine hrs to sleep/eat. So.... competition.... for money?.... I'd say I could probably do a week without sleep. Call it five days before the brain seriously starts to blow fuses. I'd still be up, but if I was playing anything more difficult than Minecraft on "peaceful" I probably would be failing in epic fashion.
Though, a non-stop how-long-can-you-game scenario with all the players are in one competitive game where the inevitable four-way crazy-man stalemate (everyone else has dropped out by a reasonable 72 hours in, each of these guys is still going at like, six days or whatever) would be ended by who has the highest score would be a pretty novel twist. Or like the ending conditions are that once there're fewer than 25% of the people left, and no one has dropped out for, say 24 hrs (or 12 or whatever to keep the audience interested, because 24 hrs of watching near catatonic gamers crumbling spectacularly in competence will probably get pretty boring,) then whoever remains and has the highest score wins. It would be an endurance run to begin with, but players would have to pace themselves, and pull out actual skill at the end, a "sprint for the finish" so to speak.

System Shock 2 held me for about 38 hours in a stretch. I'm assuming you're talking without sleep. I did go to the loo a couple of times and I took a short break for lunch the following day, so I guess there's that.
But yeah, I think most MMO players will have beaten me by now.

I've gone 72 hours on a single game with only Dr. Pepper, Snack Mix and Popcorn to keep me going, and that was without sleep, of course.
..And even longer on most MMO's I've played, if I stick around on them long enough, that is.

Not very long at a time, I have a short attention span. For example, I stopped to play Left 4 Dead whilst typing this very post >.>
I usually have to get up and do something else for a while when gaming, lest my legs die on me.

Wow you need to gtet out moreJudgement101 said:I went 100 hours straight of HL2M. Passed out shortly after.
I'm pretty sure I've went 20 hours on Oblivion at some point, it was around that time when I had to have a long hard look at where my life was going...
At which point I bought Fallout 3 and New Vegas at which point I basically regressed into becoming a mole person.
