Computers are my sole purpose in life. Without them, I would whiter away and die of boredom.

32 Hours Straight baby!(Thats my record)

I think my record is about 3-4 days (72-96 hours) without sleeping, and eating nothing but crackers and soda (or whatever I could find without having to spend more than 10 minutes away from the comp).

This is why I don't play games often anymore...

When I start to play, I just forget everything around me.

I started playing games when I was about 6 or so (Comm64), moved to PC when I was 9 with Sierra's KQ series, and when I was old enough that mommy wouldn't scold me for not being in bed, I just stopped going to bed (it always annoyed me, because what I would actually do was lie in bed, not sleeping, thinking about what I could be doing in the game).

Such an addict.

Now, I generally only play games when I have someone around to tell me to stop playing. But, when I do play, it will generally be with as little sleep possible. I generally try to beat most new games in less than 3 days.

Edit: Games like Morrowind and FF (and any MMORPG) are my enemy. I love them so much, though.

WEll, though I will never beat tai. I must say I have been on an entire day once. Games are horrible when it comes to addiction, but abandonia holds the cake for me. That and discworld books. :whistle: You'd think with all this time my game would be done by now. LOL :blink:

I can't live without the computer but my marks aren't suffering much due to computer revision power. I could never game that long solid just because my parents would shout at me to stop and get some rest. After the GCSEs I'll try a few days non stop...
