Re: your longest gaming session?

When Star Wars Galaxies first dropped my brother in law and myself got on that Saturday around noon and we both logged off around 7am the next day... My wife came down and asked if I had ever went to bed that night... lol.
Slightly embarrassing... but also epic!

Re: your longest gaming session?

Oh the good old NES days.......when you had to blow in it to get it to work or dip a q tip in alcohol and rub it across the connectors on the cartridge.

I still remember my older sister dropped my Legend of Zelda on the floor on purpose and chipped my gold cartridge. I was so upset I instantly slapped her in the face.

That's sig-worthy lol.

I've read this thread twice now, but was kinda reluctant to post. I've had 12+ hour sessions more times than I can count. Back in the day, me and a few friends would always spend the night at one of our houses and play whatever was hot at the time for us. Sports games, party games, wrestling games, platformers, whatever.

Besides the times with friends (which sometimes you're sharing the controller with others), it's common for me to go 6-8 hours on my days off if I'm home alone. 2 weeks ago, I alternated between WWE 12, NBA 2k12, and Super Mario World for almost 11 hours.

My longest session was over 12 hours, I was playing WoW and trying to get a new set for war, but then I got tired and decided to just buy wow gold and enjoy the game)

I used to have sleepovers with my friends where they would bring their own PS2 or Dreamcast, and we'd have our separate TV's right next to each other to play on (often times it was in our sports franchise), and we would pull all-nighters with them that started the evening before.

Put that alongside some long GTA, RDR, and COD sessions, it's possible I've cracked the 12 hour mark several times without fail. I can see many WoW type gamers doing something like this routinely.

EDIT: Whoops, I didn't realize this was an older thread I had already contributed to fourteen years ago.

At least my answer is consistent.

I feel like the Covid Years probably shattered a lot of people's longest personal gaming sessions.

Man, reading these stories makes me nostalgic. I’ve definitely had my fair share of all-nighters back in the PS2 and early MMO days. These days I can’t grind that long anymore, but sometimes I still get lost for hours exploring something new on playhub — it just reminds me of those endless weekends gaming with friends.

My longest sessions were back in the late 90s, early 00s when I was in the university. Mostly PES with friends and Championship Manager alone. Never hit the continuous 12+ hours though because we were also going out a lot and working part time in the nights. Glorious era the 90s, no smartphones, no social media, great music.
