After that guy died after 86 hours of gaming, I was wondering, whats the longest sitting you've ever had playing video games, specifically Xbox?

I've put in 6-8 hours, but that's with bathroom breaks and quick meals. Plust that's playing Halo online so there would have been some breaks between games!. The longest truly single sitting is maybe 4-5 hours on Morrowind.:confused: I don't know how he did it! No wonder he died!:rolleyes:

Now that's unhealthy! I guess MMORPG's are just extremely addicting.

I played dead to rights for about 6 hrs straight last night. My most is probally morrowind for about 6 - 8 hrs. My eyes can't handle much more that. Halo is up there also for about the same. If i was online it be out of control. hehe

My longest sitting on any game was just over 6 hours. That was two different games though, both were PC games. Can't remember what they even were. :confused:

Probably 2 1/2 hours. I can't sit and stare at the tv for very long, or sit for long periods of time.

My first time when i played Morrowind was about 6 hours. Now that i have almost cleared the game (doing all quests, get uniques artifacts, leveling up,..), it's been reduce to 2 hours per play. :p

The Most ever, was Lords of the realm for 20 hours second is Beetle Adventure Racing for N64 at 15 hours, I used to have a JOb where all I did was check a URL every hour , the rest of the time I played video games. surfed the net or watched a movie , the twenty hour session was uninterupted because our site was down, and I was working a double shift, it flew by,

The most I have ever played My Xbox was about 10 hours straight playing THPS3 , and maybe 8 hours straight with Halo I play about 2-4 hours a day , but I am self employed so I have lots of free time

Not exactly sure, but it would have to be close to 20hours. Ages ago a friend & I played Red Alert online, and we both have 2 phone lines so we were talking as we played in 2 vs 2 matches :)

I think that head exploding stuff must have something to do with my dna or something because it doesn't seem to be happening to anyone else :(

I remember the days of Red Alert. Back then I didn't have broadband I could rarely get my connection to work on mplayer.com (later bought out by gamespy).

But wow, after 20 hours you must have felt like this: http://forums.civfanatics.com/images/smilies/wallbash.gif

Before XBOX, it was DC Phantasy Star Online for about 12 hours on a weekend when i was laid up in bed.

On XBOX Halo for a little over 8 on another weekend.

Oddly enough this only happens when i'm sick or my wife and kids are away.:D

<whispering to Shannon> "I lied, It's really 30-40 seconds".

ok...on a serious note. I think the longest would have either be the game LUNAR or the game CIVILIZATION for the PSX. I stayed up for about 2 days on those games. I had CIVILIZATION burnt into my head so much, that I use to haev sweaty nightmares about "building up my empire and conquring the world". It sounds silly now, but trust me...it was some scary stuff!! :eek: :eek:

I would say around 13 to 15 hours playing Winback for N64. Hey it was due at Blockbuster the next day and i really needed to beat it all in one day. After that I'd say about at least 7 hours each for Halo, Hitman 2, Conker's, and GoldenEye.

My longest sitting is probably 5-6-7 hours. Either on Halo, Halo Online or Morrowind. I just can't stop playing those games even to this day. When LIVE comes out.....LOOK OUT.

let's face facts. I think if you took ANY guy on these forums and had that blondie hottie seduce them, NONE of us would last longer than 10 seconds.

The longest for me was 6 hours playing Halo, and we were so high we only managed to beat one level cooperative in that 6 hours. I finished all my herbs by 5 am so the last hour I had the worst headache and my head was spinning, I almost quit and didnt beat the level but I somehow managed to pull it off.

Last Night

Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring.

I rented beacause I heard it was short, but alot of fun and it was. It took me 8hrs 27min to complete but I did it.

There site claims the game has between 15-20hrs of gameplay.

If I had down-syndrome and was 89yrs old this game would still not take my 20hrs to beat.

Great Rental though, don't waste your money buying it.
