I tend to go pretty light, mainly 'cos I'm a 360 user and I'm horribly paranoid about it getting too hot and imploding... I guess the biggest session would've been 10-12 hours on Oblivion.

I could quite happily go for longer - I'm a student so I've learned the unrelated but co-existing arts of pulling three all-nighters in a row and living on biscuits, rendering sleep and meal breaks somewhat redundant as long as I've got a healthy supply of tea.

I wish I was joking on that last bit.

I am blessed as I really dont need much sleep most of the time so I managed(on a dare) to play Elder Scrolls 4:Oblivion for 4 days! I got a collected £200 for the dare and I broadcasted it live on Ustream. It was my finest moment.

Either Final Fantasy VII, Super Mario 64 or GoldenEye. Probably a collective 200hrs+ on each.

I once spent a whole 2 months just playing Megaman X. it got to the point where I was counting the amount of times I would get hit and how long it would take to beat the game lol. I managed to do a full clear in 45 minutes with no damage and no hits taken. Talk about a misspent youth.

I don't play games in too long a sitting really.
Maybe 10 hours possibly, can't really remember.

I can say I did play Megaman Battle Network 3 on the GBA for over 100 hours though, (I broke the clock, it only goes up to 99 hours!)

was probably something close to 30+ hours when me and a friend had a massive session of COD4 multi player... Spent probably close to that amount of time in bed afterwards as well :)

Mine's pathetic compared to everyone else...but my longest single sitting was about three weeks ago. Eight hours playing Metal Gear Solid 4 with a friend.

Ok, the question is what's the longest amount of time you've spent playing a game in one sitting? Also what game was it you were playing?

Mine would probably be Final Fantasy X. I was having trouble defeating a boss in the mountain area so I decided I needed to train up. I was about 12 at the time and couldn't be bothered to go into school, so after about half an hour of unconvincing whining to my mum I got the day off :D. Started playing at around 9 when my mum left for work and carried on until about 6 in the morning the following day. 21 hours of gaming, stopping occasionally for snacks and whenever nature intended. I'm not sure how that compares to other gamers so I decided to find out.

P.S. Unfortunately I did not get the next day off :(
Dude. Fuck Seymour Flux. It took me ages to get to a level where I stood a chance against him. Once you find out that he's weak to poison, of all things, the fight becomes much easier, but still...he's got some downright unfair moves.

One time, I played RE5 with my brother for 8 hours straight. Good times.

I'm over 250 hours on Fallout 3. I don't know about how long I've played in one sitting, but it's probably around 24 hours.

One time I started playing Starcraft around noon, and quit playing about 1 or so in the morning, but it was daylight savings so it was actually 2, so it was 13 or 14 hours, depending on which way you look at it.
