Longest time you have played video games?

Everquest, playing non-stop except for sleep (and toilet breaks!) for two weeks during Easter. My housemates had gone "home" for the holiday, I'd awaken, log in, around 10pm realise I was extremely hungry, order a large kebab combo to be delivered, keep playing. I kept playing during a third week, but I was dragged outside by friends a few times, where I'd offer to cast Spirit of Wolf on people to increase their run-speed for 40 minutes in exchange for donations (just a couple of silver pieces would have been fine). Even ended up with a T-shirt that read "Got SoW?"

Cheaper than a two-week drinking bender, at least.

I did something similar when WoW: Cataclysm launched.

Challenge was 1 week, no heirlooms level 1-85 on a new character on games release. Did it in 6 days on my new Shaman, friend of mine cheated a bit hit cap a couple hours before me, but he had 20% on Heirlooms and a weapon (axe on Warrior which helped massively). Was literally, wake up, play, eat, play play eat play, sleep and repeat for a week.

Needless to say I felt like a slob after that week was over and I had to go back to work.

I used to play Final Fantasy XI (online MMORPG) like I had nothing else in the world to do. It's fair to say I was addicted, especially at weekends. I used to play from 6pm on a Friday evening until I could no longer stay awake. Which was usually Sunday early evening. So around 48-50 hrs straight every weekend for at least a couple of months before I decided it was way too much!

My son and I stayed up all night playing Ghost Recon : Island Thunder.

2x TVs & 2x Xboxes ... He was 14 and it was a weekend (before someone rings the NSPCC lol)

It was a great gaming memory, playing as a team co-op.

I need to be in bed by 10pm now though and he's 25 so probably has better things to do nowadays.

I loved that game, and I love that was a relationship you had with your son!

Plenty of times in the past i've spent more than 24 hours playing games (usually online ones)

But the longest i've spent on a game was 5 days straight, but that was making rather than playing, not really an experience i wish to repeat

About 18 hours a day, for 3 weeks...

This was Fallout New Vegas, which actually became my life for those 3 weeks, as I had nothing better to do at the time, I would fire up on waking and it would be the last thing before bed...

Couldn't do it now, work and all that.

Ah, memories of the Mojave

About 14 hours on Dragons of Atlantis (Fb game) I'd waited up for the new egg and armour release and was absolutley determined to find them before going to sleep. I did eventually fall asleep on my keyboard and woke to a very attractive key imprint across my face lol.
I still now regularly spend 4/5 hours on Skyrim and Mass effect, time just flies and before I know it it's 2 in the morning lol.

At university I had a 3 day (night and day) co-op game of empire earth against the computer on hard stopping only for meals and toilet.

I had a year out of uni working full time and managed to play WoW for over 100 days play time in less than 12 months, I also had a girlfriend (now wife) I would travel the length of the country to see for long weekends so must have averaged a ridiculous number of hours. It is a life consuming game and glad I got out when I did!

shireknight

On a day off I regularly play on the PC for ten hours playing games like Rome:Total War but I think my longest session was probably when I first got my hands on World of Tanks.

I played it for 19 hours straight slept for about 3 hours and then played for another 18 hours -at the end of it my mouse hand was frozen in the shape of the mouse and because I was staring at a monitor the whole time I couldn't really focus my eyes and I felt quite ill lol.

i used to do that at uni too, althou it was against my house mates rather than the computer.

when everyone focuses on defence the game can last a long time
