Any tips for prolongued gaming?

[Rodion Romanovich]

I always hear people here talk about how they spent 24 hours solid playing their latest M2TW campaign or something along those lines. Yet I find that if I play for more than a few hours for a few days in a row, I end up with sore eyes and a head to match. So how do you guys here manage it? Paracetamol wears off if you use it too regularly. I really wanted to have a gaming marathon for part of my big summer holidays this year, but it ended with me feeling ****.

So, since your all nerds that play TW 20-hours a day in your parents basement - how do you manage it? I'd love to just sit and get absorbed in a campaign for a week or two.

How about just taking a few breaks every once in a while to drink and eat? For most people, playing over 5-12 hours without any sort of break at all DOES give headache and other issues no matter how they do it. Perhaps a lot of those who say they play "for days without break", probably mean they took a few short pauses for food and drinking during that time...
