    Longest I've played MTW/RTW maybe 5 hours solid. Longest I've played any game...Original Day of Defeat about 44 hours before crashing to sleep for 14 hours, waking up and playing another 12 hours.

    Some of you guys better be careful. There've been a couple of cases in Korea where a marathon gamer just dropped dead

    PS, I'm such a self absorbed turd...
    DD you really know how to insult yourself

    As for me, In the old days of Shogun and the clan I probably spent 10 hours straight.

    I remember once I went to bed at 6PM UK time so I could get up at 2AM to play people in other parts of the World.

    I used to play in longish stints (about 4-5 hours) but these days I just play in short 1-2 hour bursts because I'm also playing Inselkampf which has got me quite hooked, and I have to keep checking to see what's happened (usually nothing lol).

    I guess I could last around 6 hours before boredom creeps in.

    Then it's back to the org

    When I first got MTW = 22 hrs
    When I got VI = 22 hrs

    I often boot up the game when I wake up, and play intermittantly while doing other stuff. Fight a battle, do the dishes, play a couple of years, fix the car, although I don't think those days count.

    When I bought RTW, I probably played 12 hours straight for a few days. Now its maybe 2 hours at most every other, other day. Or when I have time.

    I could easily do 12 hours for Shoggie or MTW at a weekend. Rome doesnt capture my attention so much and i get bored after a couple of hours.

    I remember about four years ago i played in a tournament for Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear which lasted about 30 hours, due too both teams camping. At one point my whole team was AFK for about an hour, and much too our suprise we were all alive when we got back!

    7 minutes, with 6 of those 7 being 'loading' messages.
    "Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."
