I don't even see how people can play a game that long, I cant even play a videogame for too long {1-2 hours} my eyes start to hurt.

I probably played Animal Crossing for a solid period of time longer than any other game. But that's nice and peaceful.

I played Meteos nonstop during a 6 hour plane ride but that was to keep my mind off my stomach ache. And then continued playing for another 5 hours after I got home. Did end up beating the game and unlocking every single thing there was to unlock.

I don't even really play games that much anymore, but occasionally ill pop NFSU:2 or GTA: San Andreas into my ps2 and play for an hour or so.

i tend to play rpg's for a substantial period of time at a time, but even those, after 6 hours max i'll take a rest and eat and go outside.

Yet another guy dies from too much play time. I seriously need to know what game can captivate someone for 10 straight days without sleep.

I can't imagine playing a game for 50 hours straight, but of course I haven't found a game I'm that enthralled in.

I think the longest I've played a game was about 8 hours. But my mom pulled a 12 hour shift one time.

Why do these people always seem to be Korean? I know that South Korea is a hotbed of gaming, as anyone who has played Guild Wars and seen the constant messages stating that Korea just destoyed the Western world on online battle can attest to, but this is getting out of hand. It seems almost like people in S. Korea who have addictive personalities and would normally be alcoholics or drug abusers are killing themselves with videogames instead.

This is a problem.
