't Was the year 1997, WipeOut had just come out on Playstation, Redbull (or any drink with additives) was just legalized in Holland and me and my mate were trying to chop off 0.0173 of our record for about oh... 40 hours? Goood times!

Probably 20 hours or so. At around the 18th hour when I was playing Super Monday Night Combat, I went into some kind of zone...Basically I didn't really know what I was doing anymore, this somehow ended with me being on top of the leaderboard for that particular game and having 30 more kills than the guy in second place. I didn't die once...That was a beautiful day.
Had one of about 40 hours at a LAN once, friday afternoon to sunday afternoon. Only interrupted by the occasional run to the store for food or random pranks. Except from a few drills in the army I don't think I've even been awake that long since. Nowadays it varies from 10 minutes of Super Meat Boy to 6-8 hours of different games on lazy and/or hangover sundays.
Captcha: one hit wonder. How did you know they called me that in the CS tournament, captcha?? Well, they didn't, so HAH!

10-11 hours nonstop (no caffeine) a few years back while playing a marathon of Deus Ex. Can't get any higher without my reflexes screwing up on me.
When I was a young wastrel I used to play entire Civilization games in one sitting. I know I've done at least 10hrs in Civ before. These days the norm is maybe 2hrs on a rare weekday, 4 on weekends. Problem is I like sleep almost as much as I like gaming.
Strange, When I was young I used to love spending hours lost in RPGs, simulators and strategy games. Now I'm older all I want to do is play short intense bursts in geometry wars or some MAME shooter.

The time I spent all night playing all the way through Red Faction II. Not the longest game, sure, but the seven hours I spent plowing through it was certainly longer than any other play session I've ever had.
About 20 hours when I beat Fable 3 in one sitting. That game was damn too easy and watered down, but it was pretty fun. I don't plan on doing it again. My usual session lasts 3-6 hours when I have the time. That hasn't been in awhile, though 
When I was a teenager I stayed up an entire weekend just to see if I could do it, and then crash sunday night. Played games intermittently, and never broke my habit of jogging before sunrise. On the third day I was jogging and completely loopy... when the sun broke, the light hit me and I felt like it hit me with force. Like I ran into a wall or something, totally staggered.hellflame said:

Got scared, went home and slept 16 hours.
8-12 hours of WoW back in summer 2006. I was alone at home for a couple of weeks with nothing to do before starting university the following September. I was still leveling my first character (so the game was all new and shiny) and wanted to get to 60 before university started.
A buddy of mine let me borrow Xenogears. He was going out of town with family for two weeks and he wanted it back when he came home. I came home with it Saturday morning at like 8 and by Sunday night I had put 30 something hours into it. Beat the game later that week. He couldn't believe it when i Told him.
14 hours trying to beat a particular bonus dungeon in an RPG. Can't remember exactly but it was probably the Ancient Cave in Lufia 2.
Sadly I can't do things like that anymore. Besides work and school, your head starts hurting around the 10 hour mark. Besides, even 14 hours wasn't enough.

I think it was when I was at dreamhack some year, was problaby awake for about 16 Hours or so playing, then I fell asleep for about 3 hours and then continued.
No idea. I'd guess I probably did over 8 hours at some point in my life, but I normally get up and do other things after a few hours.
24 hours of Yoshis Island with a friend until my snes overheated and the screen turned black. I would never try this with todays consoles. My snes still worked after it cooled down but i doubt that a 360 or a ps3 would survive this.
