The best advice I can give is beware the basement dwelling monster! He only appears after ten or so hours by which time you should be prepared, clad in full plate mail with a mighty sword, you must smite him across the face and drink his blood to reinvigorate yourself for another ten hours of gaming.
Forget gaming for 24+ hours. Drop acid.
Seriously. If you're going to **** with your head that much, you may as well go all out. Plus it's way more fun to do with your friends.
If you ask me, though, I would recommend neither. Just grab some beers, some weak grass (you want to relax, not get pissed) and some pizza and invite some friends over to watch some good movies (i.e. The Big Lebowski, Rolling Kansas, Up In Smoke... mellow stuff.) :jester:
Boot the woman out of the house for the weekend. It's the only way to game for longer than a few hours. :yes:

Headacher is not so much of a problem if you don't have to concentrate alot about the screen; e.g. reading on it. I have grinded in an MMORPG for about 6 hours non-stop without any problems with eyes/head, but my neck told me to stop. :sweatdrop:
Nowadays I typically dont game for more than 2-3 hours after I get home from school, though in the weekends it might become.....more. ~:wacko:
And yeah, taking a break from the game only enhances the experience as you get to think thoroughly through strategies, while when you've played for some time you might finding yourself rushing.
Edit: Do of course not take any paracetamol. :inquisitive:
Whats the big deal with paracetamol here? My parents take several dozes practically every day, its like its part of their diet.
Well generally speaking, do not use medicine otherwise necessary. Paracetamol might not be the worst drug, but most drugs tend to be unhealthy when over-used.
I agree, using a drug when you don't actually need it is almost always a bad thing, and daily use of almost anything with some exceptions (caffeine possibly falling into this) will usually cause health problems in the long-run.Quote:

Still, going for half an hours walk would be even better.

Well most medicinal drugs if taken to regularly cause the nasties in your body build up a resistance to it after a while, so you have to take more to get the same effect. Also some antibiotics target both good and bad bacteria.Quote:

Lol... you're actually asking advice how to get more addicted? :sweatdrop: :no:
Really, why? Why would you want to be on the computer so long you're getting physical problems? :dizzy2:
Just, take enough time to eat and sleep, and take breaks now and then. You'll get better results anyhow as well if you feel good.
i though gaming was supposed to be a fun pastime... not something you force yourself to do... Once you get a full time job more often than not you will be forcing yourself... so just do whatever is fun for you.
p.s. Pls dont take any drugs for this... it is not going to help your immune system.
