Current Events > What's the longest video game session you've ever had?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Without any breaks for anything except going to the bathroom.

15 hours for me. My second playthrough of South Park: The Stick of Truth I finished in one sitting. Started at 5pm and finished it at 8am.

Adderall.... it's uh ... it's a helluva drug

We did that steel bladder achievement in Rock Band 2, all songs, no pausing. Took over 8 hours.

6-8 hours maybe?

I can lose all track of time if I'm really engrossed, but I usually try not to overdo it (missing sleep, meals, etc)

I imagine the whole world was scrolling when you looked away.

But tuh, I gamed for like 70 hours straight probably. Just doing the math in my head for an estimate. Maybe even longer.

Disgaea weekends

5 hours, I am not a no lifer.

Goddamn.

6 to 8 maybe when at a friend's or with my brother. Unless switching games nullifies the session.

No lie though, I'll probably have a 8+ session if and when BotW2 comes out. It's really the only game I'm looking forward to.

I remember one time I played Portal at a friend's place.

Went through the whole game in one sitting. I don't even recall how long it took but I was there pretty much the entire day...

And NO, there wasn't any cake

I couldn't put an exact time on it, but it's definitely a Civ game.

w/o bathroom = 4 hours
w/ bathroom = 6
w/ eating = 13

I've played Civ V for ten hours straight before. Same with Cities Skylines.

I've more or less had to stop playing both for the same reason.

Goddamn.

I was depressed and adderall was the only time I could get a level of concentration that made me super into what I was doing. So, I got in the habit of trying to stretch those moments out as far as I could. It got really dark mentally eventually and very unhealthy physically as well, as you could imagine. Id literally be hallucinating at the end. You start feeling like you see stuff move across the floor, but it's just a non moving object staying in place once you concentrate on it hard enough. Your eyes would only be adjusted to not tripping out while you were still focused on the tv. That made it feel like you were completely normal still. It's why I warn people about adderall now. Cause if they're in the depressed abusive state I was, it's one the worst things for you in the long run. Id feel like my body was gonna completely shut down at times and it didn't stop me from ending up in that same predicament again a month later. Which, psychologically is the scariest part. Knowing you weren't responsible enough to control yourself even when the path leads you to literally feeling like you're gonna drop dead on the spot.

But, that part of my life is over now and Im still chillin. So, I guess I really rode that line and came out on the right side somehow. I honestly can't say 100% I deserved to with how I was living. As a person, I feel like I 100% deserved to cone out of it tho.

Maybe 4 hours. I think I could have do more in Civilization.

I marathoned Uncharted 3 the whole game on release day I think it took 12 hours.

I suppose the longest technically would be 20 hours but I feel like standing around in iron forge doing nothing violates the spirit of the no breaks rule

15 minute

24-25 hours. On Happy Wars, of all things.

I was dealing with a breakup.

I would hit 20-hour sessions of Diablo 2 often in 2003,2004 and also later in 2010.

I'm sure it happened sometime last year, when I was feeling like shit so I stayed home. The only thing that made me feel not like shit was Metroid Dread, so I just played that game all day, taking occasional breaks to eat, go to the bathroom, and take care of the cat. Needless to say I beat the game, even though my cognitive functions were somewhat impaired so it took all day.

12 hours. Back in high school I played Secret of Mana one Saturday from noon to midnight.

Video gaming? Idk maybe 12 hours somewhere.

Tabletop gaming? Fuck man, Like a week.

probably 5-6 hours

I played a game for about 43 hours late last year.

19 hours i think. This was for osrs. This occured during the time i took a month leave off work. I was doing like 16 hour day average sessions that month to get 99 agility, woodcutting, and firemaking =]

19 hours cod warzone, right when covid started and quarantined

oh wait, i think i remember playing a pokemon clone (diamond/jade) and it took me 10-12 hours to finish it because it couldnt freaking save

Longest I'd say maybe hanging out in Jeuno in FFXI to get a chocobo. You have to feed it once every 2ish hours and you have to do it 3-4 times total I believe. Alot of people trolled about it that you had around a 10 minute window otherwise it reset and you had to start all over.

So when you arrive in Jeuno you'd just see a group of people loitering around the chocobo with timers set.
