I just beat my personal best today @ 25.5hrs, only getting up 6 times to go to the bathroom and eat, for a total of 45mins… And I just finished a siiqqqq set of drawings

So…

How long?  
Why?

Maybe 5hrs. If that.  
But as far as Video games go for what Pat posted. I played GTA Vice City PS2 when it first came out, for 24 Hrs straight, long time ago. No time for fun like that now-a-day.

if you count bathroom/food breaks, I played CS 1.5 all one day, all night, then all day again, I do not remember the exact hours but It was a lot, I also used to play FFXI when I had no job/no school which means all I did was play it all day then would only sleep a few hours since sleep was a waste of time

Man, I pity all of you. At work is the only time I spend an extended amount of time in front of one. I’d have to stab someone if it was anything more than that even. I’m just way too active for that.

8 hours at work daily, the only good part about that is I pay all my bills online from here so that I don’t have to sit in front of my pc at home too much.

Well ive been siting in front of a screen for 8-9 hours a day for the last 5 years so when I get home form work I tend to stay away from the computer. But during college 13-15 hours was the norm all the time.
