    Default I just know some of you have done this, but didn't die!!!

    http://today.reuters.co.uk/PrinterFr...OREA-GAMES.XML

    I've played MTW for 30 hour straight once and only stopped after I broke my keyboard with my head slamming into it after I blacked out!!! Anyone want to share their Total "Lack of Sleep" War experience... And, in the realm of political talk, should there be some sort of regulation against (I know how certain persons of a certain political spectrum have a chubby for government regulations) such behaviour?

    Well I never went that long. But I have fone a number of 17 hour binges on saturdays and sundays with a good many on friday night added for like 40 hours over the weekend if that counts.

    6 hours is the longest I've gone. Can't play well after that.

    My parents are always imposing their morality on me, otherwise I would play for days on end - with appropriate snack, bathroom, and nap breaks.

    The exact same thing happened in the exact same place in the exact same circumstances a year or two ago. Either they are just recycling the story, or there is a copycat.

    I think you're right. Can anyone confirm this, because the story seems familiar, hell, I believe it was actually posted in the Guild. I guess I've been on the computer too long!!! LOL

    I played for whole days or nights at a time. Entertainment, sleeping and eating well come with all holidays in my calendar, so I did take time out to always get some sleep. Don't like to play if I'm sleepy :P Need to reinstall MTW been ages since I played and I do miss it a lot recently.

    It's happened. I'd get a new game on Friday morning, go home and install it and next thing I know Saturday is soon over.

    Lee had recently quit his job to spend more time playing games, the daily JoongAng Ilbo reported after interviewing former work colleagues and staff at the Internet cafe.
    That's going a wee bit far, methinks.

    That must be one HELL of an online game!
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.

    I played VI online for an entire 3-day weekend, from the time I got up til I went ot bed each night. But I did eat, and sleep at least 10 hours each night

    The worst was once my crew was at our station and it was raining/snowing so hard we couldn't (wouldn't? Didn't?) go outside all day. We started playing GTA3 at 0800 and stuck with it until 0300 the next day. The PS2 was hot to the touch.

    Hey I just read this on BBCNews as well. Apparently it's a different case than a couple of years ago. I distinctly remember reading about another man, but now that I think carefully enough, the older story was from Taiwan (IIRC).

    Same thing, a guy played for days without rest and died.

    I once went 4 days without sleeping... damn sleep deprevation exercises...
    Cowardice is to run from the fear;
    Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
    Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
    But to hold the line anyway.
