Every Christmas I buy a new game or two and wonder how long you guys can play before your eyes start to bleed? For me I started Saturday morning and play through to about 8:00 tonight before I started seeing the undead when I closed my eyes. I think I got five hours of sleep last night and recall eating a couple of meals the last two days.
I'm playing WarCraft III thru start to finish - not bad at all and WarHammer 40,000 is next. My eyes are bloodshot and I'm about warn out ... not as young as I use to be.  Might just have to call in sick tomorrow for work.

You will make it through Warhammer 40K kinda fast, but its good.
I have played 12+ hours before, some RPGs will just hold you. I know somone who played the first Diablo straight through. |

I'm a wuss lol...about 4 or 5 hours on the computer is all I can take these days. The Xbox, though, is a much different story. From the comfort of my Barcolounger, with a wireless controller, and a 55" TV, I can easily go 12 hours w/ only bathroom breaks and refills of the diet Coke, and snack supply. I got Need for Speed Underground 2 for Christmas. Opened it Christmas Eve, so I had it ready to go first thing Christmas morning. I played it from about 9am to 5pm, and then switched to Fable. It's great not having any family/friends to bother me on Christmas.

I don't remember the hours but once I played CS when it was light, they it was dark then it was light again. Man time flies.

My eyes haven't been the same since I burned out my retinas thanks to that damn buffalo clown beast on the Chubby Chick Thread.  <SNAP>  Now I keep a bottle of Visine next to the monitor just in case. |

And spent my dreams being chased by the People's Liberation Army-- no shit. |

I play game until I get tired...
my actual record was about 20 hours. It was my first RPG "Legond of Dragoon" I need glasses so my videogames and PC 'visits' are doing no good on me. The thing was with my record I only stoped to eat, piss and the some other things... I forgot the time I started playing but what I remember was hoping my charators didn't die and I get all of the items so I wouldn't have to start over from a spot. Now lets not talk about the Armored Core Series... When I first get a new title in the series I spend 6 hours the first day playing it. Then I start causing random pointless distruction. Mmm... gotta love the arena's and all that firepower NOTE: I never got blood shot eyes nor bleeding eyes |

36 hrs+ on AA.
36 hrs+ on UT2K4. No drugs ('cept nicotine). That's usually about the time I spend on a game when I get it. Time started to blur after that point. I was in the zone, though. No bleeding eyes. Just wondering how the hell I was going to get to bed for work. I work with game technology so, I consider it 'research'. It's not really a long time... doesn't the military have to stay awake for days at a time for hell week |

When I got Fallout 2 I went 8 or 12 hours straight. I don't even think I got up to go to the bathroom.
That was easily the most addicting game I've ever played. |

I still play from time to time, I make sure I log in often enough that my online characters are still saved, but time FLIES when you play Diablo. "Just one more quest" turns into 6 hours before you know it. |

I'm thinking my one purchase during 2005 is going to be a new computer built expressly for handling Battlefield 2 and Halflife 2.
My current PIV 2.4ghz with old Geforce 4 4400Ti is maxed out with HL2 on relatively low quality settings. Thinking a PIV at 3.0+ghz with 800fsb, minimum of 1 gig ram, and a Geforce 6600. |
