Erm... I once played Assassin's Creed for about 9 hours straight.
But after every gaming session, I do regret it. I use games as a way to distract myself from my life, but I usually feel worse afterwards.

Meh 4 hours. Not allowed to do huge ones.

My favorite session of long gaming is finishing Portal on my Xbox 360.

About 4 years ago when I had PGR3, I once woke up, and had a full non-stop gaming session for about 12 hours, maybe a bit more. I have and will never do that again :/ You just feel like you just wasted a full day...

Although recently I have spent a fair amount of time on CivRev... guess its just a new genre for me that turned out to be pretty good.

Everquest...

Yeah, Everquest.

I gamed an entire 3-day weekend, stopping only once in the middle of Saturday to crash for about 6 hours.

Good times.

The week Mass Effect 2 came out I kinda shut the world out for three days and played a bit excessively but I honestly don't regret it too bad since I don't do anything like that very often.

That would be Final Fantasy 10. The 4 of us played basically 3 days straight. I also played Mass Effect 2 through in one single session. What can i say both brilliant games :p.

I've pulled gaming sessions that were longer than 15 hours before but I do not know the length of my longest. However, most of them happened on weekends with friends; I do not regret those. But gaming played a big part of my longest bout with insomnia in which I went to work three times between sleeps; I very much regret those days.

24 Hours of WOW Battlegrounds. But this was back when the que's were an hour or two to get into AV, Kept grinding over and over then slept the whole next day.

No pain but. No health concern, done when I was about 18.

Was in a better health condition than I was now even though I wasn't as strong.

I guess my will was more powerful than my body, and thus my mind overpowered my sense of pain.

Don't regret it. It was back then, an awe inspiring experience. Though with the ease of short que's and the change of PVP with +resilience, it has not been the same thrilling experience.

I'm gonna be the pathetic one here, my longest gaming session was somewhere around 6 hours, with Batman: Arkham Asylum.

One of these days, though, the Infinite Setlist in Rock Band 2 will be MINE. As will the Iron Bladder achievement.

When i was young and able we had some LAN-Marathons sometimes. I think once we played pretty much two days straight (and i mean 48 hours). People were sleeping scattered across the rooms, others were half-deliriously fragging shit in Quake 3 and Half-Life or filling themselves with coffeine and greasy, cold pizza. Absolutely glorious, fun days.

But of course now i can't do it for that long anymore (yeah, i know: That's what she said *g*)

Don't regret it.

'Bout 12-14 hours on Banjo Tooie way back in the day. Basically I got up, ate breakfast, played, ate, played, went to bed. I don't really get that opputunity any more. Some good times though. 'cept for canary mary. The last fucking jiggy, to this day eludes me...

My longest gaming session was really long and I didn't even notice it. I was playing Bioshock from 9am to 9pm. I couldn't believe it.

I once played for 14 hours straight, not counting the occasional short (i.e. 2 minute) breaks for food and restroom. In retrospect, my only regret about it is that I didn't pick a better game (I was playing RuneScape)

Longest session was probably FF8 when I got it christmas day the year it came out and played it non stop (bar a 40 minute dinner) until the 27th.

A few of the final fantasies have had that effect, but that one more than most.

I don't regret it as I've fond memories because of it.

I once did an all night long Capture The Island match with this one clan. 10 vs 10 match if I remember right. And yes, we played only one match, only one round, all night.

BEST MATCH EVER
