Old news But I've done longer gaming sessions than that with no quick naps and lived to tell the tale. Provided you eat plenty of junk during the session you'll be fine (atleast alive ) but I guess because he ate barely anything at all combined with the lack of sleep would be what killed him. If anyone wants to plonk me infront of a CCTV camera and record a marathon gaming session I'd be more than willing to prove it can be done without sleeping or dying -_-
Didn't Mairsil do something like this. He HAD to, with the "RPG Summer Insanity Tour" - 23 days for 40 games make for several of these sessions. Back in the day, if I was gonna pull through a monster session, I took rests AT LEAST every 14 hours, but that's me. It depends on your metabolism, too. Chocolate helps a lot, too.
Yea LeGit like dragging the refridgerator into the livingroom, buying chips, beer, coke, fries etc... and if theres any risk... you still got some friends around... but chances are they fall asleep or are distracted from your dying-orgy by the screen ... ~52hr weekend and at least 2x 3-4hrs sleep! (something like 9:30am-12:30pm...) quick cleanup, breakfast .. and if you are lucky and its winter the sun wont bother you 4hrs later :boobies2
My brother told me about this yesterday, when I was playing Battlefield 2. He said he was right near the end of the game too, just like the CNN link shows.
The guy quits his job and plays for 50 hours straight to some faggy MMORPG and then he dies------What a fucking moron :smt082 I remember there was this guy at a LAN, he end up in anorexia after being 1 week without standing up for food. Now THATS an obsesive behaviour
The most I've ever put in would be about fifteen hours at a time. Good ol' Daggerfall, how I miss ye .
remembers me of nonstop Phantasy Star II weekends on the Megadrive... Started on Friday 3pm Ended on Sunday 10pm that was great and we were sitting besides a shitload of junkfood and drinks, lol
