What is the longest session you have had when playing video games?

[DudeThatsErin]

I have had sessions where I played for 12 hours max. I don't believe I've gone longer than that but I think my husband has done 24 or 36 hour gaming sessions. I find that insane. I always have to sleep after a while.

What about you?

24 to 36 hour gaming sessions really is insane. Don’t think that’s very healthy.

When FIFA 20 first came out, I was addicted to it, so on weekends I easily spent between 8-12 hours on the game. On week days, I had college so I was limited on time. I will probably spend a similar amount of time if not more now that I have my own PC and no college on FIFA 21 in October.

12 hours is a pretty long session for my age. I'd burn out pretty much next day with these level of the sessions. I don't see much value of any game with that much value for the gameplay.

I have done a couple of ridiculous stints. Fairly recently during lockdown, I must of had a 12+ hour session on Football Manager 20. I was doing the Andorra and San Marino challenge.

Both of these teams play in another country's league. So your new re-gens are actually made with another nationality and the aim is to get their National team to be a force in International football. The time flew by to be honest!

A few years ago, I went for a 24 hour straight play of FF8. I started at 9PM and didn't stop until 9PM the next night. When I went to bed, that night, I was literally asleep before my head hit the pillow. But the negative effect of it came the next day. I was sick as a dog due to the withdraws of not taking my medications the night before. I didn't take them because I was too tired to make them up.

If anyone here can stay up for 24 hours straight, then go through 19 bottles to get their medications ready I would love to know how.

I can't imagine myself playing football manager 12 plus hours. I meant that genre is not my thing but plus sports game for that many hours? hard for me. 

[DudeThatsErin]

Wow even 8.9 hours for me is a lot. I can't imagine staying up all night for games.

For me even the weekend in the lockdown is not much worth it anymore in past I used to love being online for hours.

I know it's not very long, but for me it is. 6 hours on Rocket League.

Stay calm. I don't always stay that much. This days, after 1 hour, I'm bored.

Sometimes I get bored within 10-20 minutes. There are days when I would rather gut myself with a rusty spoon, than play a video game. They're not particularly common, but they do come around.

Haha. yeah a lot of old games unless we are good with them or love them are harder to stretch for more than 1 hour.

Yup.

When I was in High school, my friends amd I would stay up all night playing Halo when it first came out. Probably 14 to 18 hours.
