Man, I just got done with an all nighter playing that game. Now I just imaging little creep colonies popping up all over my desk.

I started playing around midnight or so, and just got done it's 8:30. Why I came here, I don't know. I'm trying to stay up all day so that I can go to bed at a decent hour.I don't think I'm going to make it though.

So I guess the question to leave is: What's your longest stretch of gaming, and what game?

Quake 3 Urban Terror 9PM to 1:30 AM

Not sure exactly how long but Starcraft eats up a lot of my time when theres a good game going on. I dont even notice the time go by

Well let's see.

I played RtCW from 2 am to 10 am. One straight stretch and beat the game.

I played Halo from 12 am to 9:30 am. One straight stretch and beat the game.

I played DX for nearly 12 hours (a couple of short breaks). I did not beat the game

It's not uncommon for me to do gaming sessions of well over 4 hours. I have no life.

The only game I have ever gotten into is IceWind Dale.

I have done several sessions from about 10pm until 2am. I am about 2/3 done with the game.

I haven't done an all-nighter with a game in years, but the best candidate would be the original Civ. At one point in College, I knew exactly how many hours it would take me to play a game from beginning to end. Now, I'm lucky if I have enough time to play a few turns of Civ.

As for games, WarCraft 2, 3 days.

Done well over 1 day with StarCraft.

Every month we spend over 12 hours playing various games, but not one straight.

Yes, I am a geek here me roar!!

18 hour starcraft lan party.....I was so sick afterwards I did not play again (any game)for about three months.

Crazy how much fun that game is after 6-7 years. Still the best balance and overall "feel" of any rts game.
It is still in the top 20 (13) list of game sales (the battlechest)
