I want to know what's the longest time spent gaming for people, and how they managed to survive that long without sleep.

Nothing amazing. Back in high school I used to get about 4-5 hours sleep cos I'd be gaming until about 2/3am but that was just normal

^I did that fairly often playing WoW. Not good haha.

I can't say I've had any super epic gaming binges. I guess my longest would be waking up around 9-10, playing all day until 5-6am. Definitely didn't happen often but there's been a few games back in the day that really just sucked me right in, and I'd know it was time for bed when the sun was coming up haha. Obviously there were pee breaks, and at least a meal or two... hmm... no wonder I was so skinny. I've stopped playing as many games and eat healthier, and I've gained like 20lbs lol.

The longest I've gone is juuuust under 25 hours. I usually go to a friends house sometime during the winter break from college, there's typically about 5 or 6 of us there. We stock up on alcohol, energy drinks and pizzas and we just play games until we can play no more. Looking back I have no idea how I even managed to stay awake, even with energy drinks.

About... I think 68 hours, not counting bathroom breaks and such. Stayed up for about 3 days on the Xbox. I'm not proud of it but I'm not really shy about it, either.
Nothing to be ashamed of

Um, actually, it is. I was severely addicted to the point where my parents had to send me off to a wilderness program for rehab. I'm fixed now, but that doesn't make what I did back then any better.
I still don't think it's anything to be ashamed of, more of a learning experience, everyone has experiences in their lives that seem shitty but if you can talk about it and grow from it then it's not so bad.

I have played for around 24 hours at a time. That's about it though.

It's not so much the time spent in one sitting that worries me, however, it's the fact that for both me and my fiance, when we come hom from work, the first thing we do is turn our computers on. Sometimes before we greet each other.

That worries me sometimes.

Usually once a month, me and one of my friends(Different person every now and then) do a 24 hour gaming run on my 360, usually playing CoD or some other type of shooter like BF:BC2. It usually starts with us playing at 9am, with both of us getting food, drinks, or restroom brakes whenever its the other persons turn, then we crash at 9am the next morning, and sleep till about 7pm. 2 days wasted, hell yeh.

I think the most I've ever played straight was around 15 hours. It was actually kind of funny switching back and forth between eating my dinner and fighting the next boss.

I can never survive longer than two hours. I get bored or think I'm wasting my life in front of a computer screen, so I shut it off for my sake.
