Has anyone ever played a game way to much in one sitting?

I mean like to the point where you eyes hurt, you head hurts your look at the time and realize its 3am...

I have been playing Civ 5 for past 7 hours and I feel like ****** :mad:
 
Not really with a game that i 'could' quit. I have played some really long poker sessions where i have REALLY hoped it would end.

I suppose the closest i have come to that with a game would be Fallout 3, but the longest sessions on that was probably 4-5 hours
 
Uninstalled the dam game and threw the CD in the bin, never touching another Civ game in my life, they always get me hooked for one day I regret it what waste of time and money. I would have rather wasted that time on Fallout 3 at least that game was fun

I played Daoc for 37 hours straight once....i was feeling absolutely awful, dizzy and vision becoming strange.It was a one off thing, not even played a game close to that in one sitting and now i probably play them 2h max in one sitting (usually around 1h).
 
I used to feel like **** after raiding in wow, 4 hours with one 10 minute break, 3 nights a week. God knows how hardcore players do it.

And i think old age starts kicking in at 25 years old, because since then i just cant sit and play for hours like i did when i was younger :p

I've had some pretty long WoW days in the dim and distant past.

Everquest was epic with some raids that lasted 16 hours :eek:
 
Just played Dungeons and Dragons Online for 22.5 hours with bio breaks and quick snacks :P Started at 8:00am and I've just come off lol. It's the first MMO I've played where the in-game voice chat system is actually used more than the text chat, and it really gets you involved lol.
 
Had a 17 hour wow stint once during TBC, was not pretty by the end of that. These days I can still play for a long time if the mood takes me, but I don't get the chance with a fiancee, 3 month old kid and a new job :p
 
ArmA2 i play for a minimum of 4 hours usually. Sometimes all night if its busy.
Minecraft i pop on for like 5 minutes and realise its been 7 hours!
MMO (LOTRO atm) Can easily eat a a good 1-6 hours in a session if friends are on and im free.
 
I remember playing Goldeneye 64 as a kid for pretty much all day. Although I suppose because it was 4-player multiplayer and there were 5 of us, you'd get a break "between shifts" from time to time :p
 
I was off school once and I'm pretty sure I played that for around 7-8 hours that day albeit with breaks in between. Probably the longest I've gone, my attention span is awful these days.
 
me and a few mates used to have some epic battles on supcom: FA when i was at uni; we'd start playing around 1/2pm, finish when the sun came up the next day :p
 
Yeah far too many times, ignoring all the Amiga, C64 and Spectrum when I was a kid - strictly talking "modern" pc times.

I did a lot on Half Life 2 when that came out, deathmatch was on constantly - never monitored hours though but it was a LOT.

Battlefield 2 (who didn't) couldn't put it down - at a guess probablly 12 hour stints.

Doom 3 - I got it when it came out, my partner went to bed at 10pm and I literally lost track of time, I went to bed at around 7 a.m just as she was getting up.

WoW - raiding and pvp, so many stupid hours - I think the most was 26 hours straight.


I won't specifically mention console games as it's in the pc section but there were a **** load of stupid hours put into games, sometimes alone, sometimes with mates - where we would complete games on every difficulty setting one after the other.


Now, I only play an hour or two a night at the most - although I would imagine when BF3 and Swtor is released this will change drastically.
