General Discussion

Yea, back in 2004 I once did 72 hours straight on WoW when it first released.

There was a reason I was the 5th lvl 60 Warlock on Mannoroth(First 60 lock hit about a day before).

I call shenanigans on this article, if you can't stay awake for 20 hours with out food, and no physical activity harder than typing, you need to be off this planet to start with, hell I've worked more than 20 hours to get a job done and not collapses, damn Emo kids just got no balls these days!

That guy is a great example of why you should always get your sleep.

Look at this video which was linked to the one above.  Listen to it without watching it and you might think something else is going on.

hopefully after he comes out of the hospital, after gaining some rested exp, hes able to nearest overpopulated town and beg random strangers for equipment that give +STA.

Jeez, you guys are unbelievable, only one person has said anything that means something so far and thats the guy that said you all need lives if you spend that amount of time gaming.. Fair enough gaming is enjoyable but the posters in this thread (and others like it) seriously need to get some perspective. I myself have done extreme hours of gaming and these days i wonder "what was it all for?" have a bleeding heart people, extreme gaming is harmful to your health. You say "pansy" "pussy" and other such things, i say poor sod. It's a sad thing when something like this happens and all you guys can do is call names and such? Tells me just how this world is turning out..

Don't you guys have lives? many would just quote to this post something along the lines of "/fail" i say your the ones that fail, fail at life so you hide away in your fantasy worlds, trying to ignore real life which is family, kids, jobs, bills etc. ANYONE who says they have a family and a job and can still play those amounts of hours need to take a damned hard look at their relationship and i mean the one with your partner not with your fantasy world.

flame away all you like but in the end, when something like this happens to you just remember how it'll turn out, no one will care, all you'll get is name called and abused for being a "pansy" cause you didn't make it long enough.

Next time your near a mirror, take a long hard look at your life, take a long hard look at those close to you and THINK if you have the brain capacity to do so.

Nothing says "I have a life.. hahaha" like the guy flaming others for laughing at a guy who couldn't hang for 20 hours.. Oh.. and I've never gamed for 20 hours.. I think the most I've done was 12.. and it was getting the mage armor in AC..   Over thanksgiving break in 2001..

and.. you've logged more hours playing CoD4 this week than I have.. lifetime..

That would be 1 hour then??  as thats my amount spent on CoD4 this week..  13 hours for CoD5, 7 hours for Fallout 3..  total of 21 hours spent gaming this week m8..  thats an average of 3 hours a day...  any other snide remarks?

it is tragic cause nobody is teaching him how to make hot pockets and to pour mountain dew while inflight between  cities.  at least eat damn. or at least call for dad to bring you some food. 

Now lets fight/flame over who has the best life!

no shit, eh?? What ever happened to 36 hour power-gaming sessions?

If only I could find a game WORTHY of that kind of thing anymore.

Ah, man. The long-lost joys of Diablo 2 sessions fueled by mini-thins, Zima, and Pizza Hut.
