Weekly Poll 11/25/07

[shaggy]

What is the longest time you have played a video game or games continuously

[NES_Rules]

I voted 5-8 hours, but I've only done that once.  Generally, I only go for an hour or two.  I have a pretty short attention span. 

[phoenix1967]

I went 14 straight on Mass Effect this weekend.

Outside of that, my usual max would be about 3 or 4 in a given session. Most of the time I play it's only 1 or 2, though.

[James]

When GTA: Vice City came out I was playing it for up to 8 hours a day after school for a week until I finished the story. The day I got it, a Sunday, I played it from 10am to midnight.

[cverz2]

I voted 9-13, b/c when I was a teenager and first got Sim City for SNES. I think I played all day on a Saturday.

I did the same thing for GTA: Vice City, like james. Except I wasn't in school. LOL

[Tondog]

5-8 hours. I'm pretty sure of it.

[hXd]

I played DDR for 8 hours once, hence my 5-8 hours vote. I try not to go past 4 though.

[Alabama-Shrimp]

I tend not to keep count but i know i was on Call of Duty 4 for ages on Sunday and then played the DS for a bit too, i know in the past i have spent all day playing games, C&C on the PSX!!!

[Tynstar]

I voted 9-13. I did that back when I was a youngster.

[phoenix1967]

^You're STILL a youngster. 

[Tynstar]

^You're STILL a youngster.

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

9-13

I tend to play longish stints, but over 6 is pushing it.

I do remember me and a friend playing Tomb Raider 3 (of all things) for at least 12 hours and only beating two levels.

[phoenix1967]

^You're STILL a youngster. 

naw you are just old

What R U talking about? I'M still a youngster 2! 

[cyberfluxor]

Back in high school there were weekends where I'd spend an entire day and into the next straight of Starcraft. I'd hop onto B.net and play over the LAN with others at home. LAN parties last more than 12hrs and for awhile I was hosting at least one a month (last Saturday's), which fell apart earlier this year when people scattered everywhere. There were two mini-LANs consisting mainly of Diablo the other month, sessions from 1pm-4am. Then of course there are the MMOs, you just lose track of times on some evenings.

[shaggy]

I picked 9-13 hours but that was back in the day during high school and such.  It might actually have been longer than 13 hours.
