My life is one big gaming marathon.

The first thing to come to mind is spending almost the whole Christmas Eve playing Resistance: Fall of Man with my sister. Can't really remember the exact number of hours.

16 hours, but I don't remember the game.

Oh, and I've played sessions of D&D that have lasted between 12 and 15 hours in a row.

Pokemon blue, nine hours. I got it for christmas once and it was snowing that year as well, but rather than go outside and play. I stayed inside and played pokemon, non stop.

Also call of duty 4, six hours of search and destroy, I went up about 15 levels in one day.

Well when i first got jak & daxtar i didn't have a memory card for my play station so i left the game on for like 4 days until i beat it...if that counts but i'd say most played straight i'd probably say 6-8 hours of fuckin around in Oblivion when i first got it.

15 hours...Gears 2 on Insane.
It...was horrible near the end.
Were you doing it solo?

Want a horrid repressed memory to resurface?

Turrets.

Reavers.

Dom scratching his ass next to the second turret.


want another one?

Tank level.

On topic:

Played through the entire Orange Box in a day and a half (life 2).
OH DEAR FUCKING LORD.
I wanted to strangle his virtual useless carcass so badly!
In fact, the reason I was only playing 15 hours is because I gave the fuck up after being killed forty times
HAAAAATE.
Dom is the single most common reason for deaths in that game on insane.

I can't even count how many times he ran out into the open and bled out, the stupid bastard. He had a real love for running into mortar fire too.

The reavers/turrets section was just... yeah. There was rage.

What was your longest streak of playing one game uninterrupted?

For me, it would have to be my friend and I playing Borderlands split-screen co-op for 12 hours straight.
Very simular, it was borderlands single player and I only played for 10 hours. Minus ten minutes for two trips to the bathroom.

My gaming sessions tend to last about 6-8 hours by default, but I think the longest marathon I've ever done lasted about 21 hours (from getting up til going to bed) though it was several different games so I can't remember the details. But yeah, I didn't get out of bed until about 2.30 pm the next day.

There are no words for how useless he was!
Just standing there...not even pretending to do anything!
THE FUCK?!
I usually got down to the last two reavers and then they hit the dishes, and earned a huge cry of FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
...yeah.

Diablo 2 with lan... Gauntlet, Halo, or Oblivion, Zero Hour...
Damn. Apparently I'd rather play video games (with friends) than actually have friends and hang out.

Halo: Combat Evolved

I went over to a friends house. He had Halo on his desk. He'd never played it before. We grabbed 2 controllers, sat down and started the game up. This was about lunch time. We stopped at about 2:00 in the morning when it was done. Good times.

Around 8 hours of Rainbow 6 Vegas with a buddy. We only went to bed once we realized it was 4:30am and we needed to get up fairly early the next morning.

Not to long ago another friend and I had about a 10 hour COD: WAW marathon, with only about a 15 minute break at the 7 hour mark for food. I brought my Xbox over, hooked it up to another TV and then we got into an online party with 2 other friends. It was so badass.

when I was a bit longer, I played FFXI straight for like 25 hours+, and when I was even YOUNGER I played EQ1 for like 2 days straight at my G-parents house, I was like 8 and it was during the summer. I swear EQ-1 rocks.

If you did that solo, you sir, are my new hero.
[small]Well, okay, you were already up there with your plots against the whales and whatnot.[/small]

OT: An entire night (7:00 pm - 6:00 am) of Left 4 Dead. Never again.

My cousins and I played halo for about 12 hours. Stayed up all night. We spent the last 3 hours just griefing, all the other stuff was mainly just normal playing on matchmaking.

Yeah...that was alone...sooooo many deaths.
And lemme tell you: it was hardly worth it.
As I told miracleofsound, I gave up at the turret part.
It was...hell.


And I'm an internet hero!
Hooray! X-D

In fairness, that bit was kind of broken.

It was terribly explained as to how you were supposed to actually beat it. I heard somewhere that it was crucial to get the very last reaver, the others weren't important.

I have no idea how I did it in the end.

I think if I ever do Gears 2 on insane again I would plug in the second controller and leave Dom stationary, he'd probably get killed less that way.
