What's your longest marathon gaming session?

[Jae Onasi]

What's the longest stretch of gaming you've done? Don't count meals/biobreaks. All gaming counts--consoles, PC, pen-and-paper, board games, you name it.

Is an hour or so all you can stand? Have you pulled an all-nighter because you just couldn't put the controller or dice down?

 

Which game was your marathon game?

I want to say even longer than that, but I can definitely account for a 12 hour loss of time when odst came out. Getting all those firefight achievos took forever

Yep, I got the idea from Lynk's poll on the Twilight Lynk forums. Sorry I forgot to mention it in the OP!

@Topic

 

Probably around 15-16 hours maybe, the game in question was GTA III when it first came out

 

Back when I still played WoW I could easily play it 10+ hours a day as well

[M@RS]

About 12-14 hours, and the game of choice was Borderlands when it came out.

All over again.

 

 

18-20 hours, something I'm not proud of.

 

Which game was your marathon game?

KOTOR, TSL, GTA IV, Fable 2, Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age, BioShock, Oblivion and Fallout 3. Like I wrote I'm not proud of it, but does not keep me from still doing it.

Déjà vu

 

As an irregular GameFAQs regular, I say double déjà vu.

[LordOfTheFish]

I don't think I've ever gone more than 4 hours at a time.

[Wookiee Rrudolf]

10 - 12 hours is a normal pen and paper RPG session for me and my friends. Once or twice a month

But I can't play computer games for long - they hurt my eyes The longest computer marathon was Dungeon Siege, but I don't know how long I played... it ended up at about 3 am with 'Stop playing or I'll trow you out the window with your PC!'

This. Almost identical as well.. scary.

Replace GTA, Fable & DA with Morrowind, Neverwinter Nights & DDO (though DDO was a guild event just to see who would start to snore in their mic first.. hehe)... damn fun day that was

[Jae Onasi]

I think the longest gaming session for me was in the 16-18 hour range--KOTOR, TSL, VTMB, NWN2, Dragon Age, LOTRO, Guild Wars, and Star Trek Online have all sucked me in for very long periods of time. I have spent many a late night with KOTOR, TSL, and VTMB. I've fallen asleep at the keyboard playing LOTRO a few times, waking up to discover that my finger was still pressing the walk key and my toon was trying her darnedest to walk through a wall.

 

The longest group time might have been with my college buddies when we played a marathon D&D session. All of us were on campus over spring break, and we didn't have any work that day, so we got our stuff together, met in the student lounge early one morning, and gamed until the staff kicked us out at 11 that night. We took turns running upstairs to the cafeteria at meal times to grab sandwiches so no one messed with our stuff. It was a fantastic time. I miss being able to do that, actually.

[mimartin]

Forgot all about Morrowind.

[Endorenna]

Currently, on weekends, I find myself playing my games 10-14 hours, probably 'cuz I have no life. The games are ME, ME2, and Dragon Age.

[Gurges-Ahter]

I answered 10-12, and I did that for my first playthroughs of KotOR and TSL.

 

Aside from those two games, I'd say the longest I've gone is 2-4 hours on MarioKart (SNES) or StarCraft.

[True_Avery]

I've gamed for well over 24 hours straight a few times, especially with RPGs and the days of MMOs. Not so much anymore, but still hit around the 15+ mark at times.

 

EDIT: Also, why am I only 1 of 2 people to go 24+ hours. Lucasforums, I am disappoint.

[ZimmMaster]

13 hours one day on summer vacation. Just unboxed and installed KOTOR II. Would have played longer but I fell asleep at my computer and woke up at 3 am with an imprint of my keyboard on my forehead.

[Gamma097]

I'm not really sure how long I've played, but I voted "6-8 hours. I love my games." It's probably more like 8-10 hours.

[Darth InSidious]

I've probably managed 10-12 hour gaming sessions before. Anything more than that tests my patience. And I also seem to end up with a headache. I don't remember any longer sessions than that, anyway.

 

Although I did play KotOR for six hours solidly at one point, shortly after it came out IIRC.

[TriggerGod]

Although technically it wasn't a full 24+ hours, but I used to spend a lot of time playing through all my old games (as in PS1, Genesis, 64, and Game Boy Color), and it was at least 30 hours, including breaks to dispose of waste and to get nourishment.

[Miltiades]

10-12, I think was the longest. RPG's do that to me.

[jrrtoken]

The longest that I've played in one sitting is 4-6 hours, but even at over an hour I start to feel like a gluttonous waste of flesh.

 

I also seem to enjoy and better remember games when played in one to two-hour chunks per day, so that I can better savor the feeling of "What'll happen tomorrow?", and to stretch out the brave new world of the six-hour-long campaign. >_>

[urluckyday]

2-4 hours...I can't sit in front of a TV for more than that and not want to go outside and play a sport. I'm weird like that.

[purifier]

As far back in my childhood that I can remember, I think the longest time I ever played a game was around 29 hours.

 

I was playing hide-go-seek and I got lost somewhere.

[Blix]

I think 6-8 hrs is normal for me with any new game (depending on how good of a game it is). I spent several hours a day during my first playthroughs of both KOTOR games and Fable.
