What is your longest gaming session? This includes a bathroom break and getting food from the fridge (or pizza courier).

I have played through the night on a few occasions. But I have never gotten past 20 hours. I think the longest session I had was with the release of a new expansion of World of Warcraft. But that was a while ago. Since my new job, I don't have the opportunity for long gaming sessions.

What about you?

My longest gaming session was...a bit over 4 days I think. Don't remember what I was playing, though. It was several years ago when I suffered from severe insomnia. I'd go days without sleep sometimes, so I usually filled my time either watching anime or playing games. Not very well, mind you. Kinda hard to concentrate on what's happening on the screen when you're hallucinating due to sleep deprivation...

Non-stop? It's got to be just under 24 hours when I was participating in Extra Life this year.

If I had to guess it was probably around 12-14ish hours or so. It's hard to say. The best example of a long play session I can think of is when I played through the entirety of Mass Effect and started the first hour or so of Mass Effect 2 in one session for a friend of mine who wanted to watch the story. She sat through the whole thing and picked dialogue options. Even fed me!

That reminds me of that one episode of South Park with the World of Warcraft marathon. :)
Well we went out to eat technically, but she treated me since I was hosting the marathon :p

I didn't require her to hold a bucket for me to shit in like Cartmen XD

I just did like 5 hours. Feel kind of bad for doing it. Probably the longest is 12hours. That's when I game all day and do nothing else.

I did a 27 hours streak with a friend just to see how long we could last 2 days after a huge New Year's Eve party.

Me and a good friend, we've wanted to do a 50 hours marathon for almost 3 years but we never got around to it (never the same vacations/free houses without his parents for that). Now is finally the time. Next week, we're playing for 50 hours straight (including cigarette/food/drink/toilet breaks)!

My longest gaming session was with ME3 the minute it arrived on my doorstep. I finished it in about 24 hours, but not consecutively (slept for about 4 and then went back to it). I've had pretty long sit downs with games, but that was by far the most intense session I've done.

I feel kind of gross after about 6 hours of gaming, so I can't really handle longer play sessions. I may have gone about 10 hours in World of Warcraft once or twice, though.

27 hours at the launch of WoW: Cataclysm.

I usually "hit the wall" at about the 20-22 hour mark. I've had a lot of sessions in that range, but very few beyond 22 hours.

I have no freaking idea. I do seem to go and play nearly none stop LoL whenever I have a day free like 8/9/10/11am to like 5/6pm. Not having a job does that to you y'know? Not to mention those games are freaking long

Don't think i've ever gamed through an entire day and night before though. My patience wears out long before then or I get too tired for it or I start to get headaches.

I used to go on huge anime marathons though, they were fun. I still go and watch all of Death Note in one sitting now and then. I would for CG as well but I don't have all of that on DVD and my laptop can get pissy when I have massive sessions at once.

My longest one was 15 hours. I played Fallout: New Vegas on steam as soon as it came out, and when I finally shut down that night, it said "15 hours played". I don't think I've ever had another gaming session come close...

It would have been in HS, before I had outgoing friends or a job, and I don't think we ever just sat and gamed for 12+ hours straight. We'd go out and get food, etc.

Never counted, but when Diablo III was released I played(iirc) 60 hours the first three days. First short sleep break was probably after 30 hours.
