    What is the longest continuous period of time you have ever played BG? I think my max time was a stretch of about 6.5 hours, at which point my eyes were dry and bloodshot, and my knees stiffened up. Not good.

    [​IMG] Weakling :p :D When I started BG-2 SoA that was at 18:00 on a friday and iirc played continuously till saturday evening around 22:00 - only with a few food and coffee pauses.
    But I have a comfy chair at my desk ... and against everything Tal claims to know a good screen and a trackball, that helps ;)

    Hmm, how about this? 11 hours per day for 2 weeks straight? This was done back during my summer off of college and was my first time through the game.

    In one of my summer vacations I had a job, the last two weeks when I stopped working I had far too much energy. I spent 36hrs playing the game with food and drinking breaks.

    I'm already too old for that...

    My personal best is 32 hours with drink&go-to-bathroom breaks and it was some 5 years ago on Warcraft 2.

    My most recent was beating BG2 (finished all the quests I could except romance and stronghold) in 2 days real-time (approx. 35 hours of play)...

    How can you play a game for 30 hours non-stop? I'd have hard time staying awake for that long.

    [​IMG] it demands endurance, discipline, high pain-tolerance, caffeine and an iron will. :p

    You forgot to mention love for the game!

    Anyway, I don't drink coffee, coke or energy drinks so no cafeine from my side.

    Lots, lots of coffee and redbull, the rest isn´t important

    Not suggestable: 7 cans of redbull in 3 minutes, makes you go like Guybrush Threepwood in Escape from Monkey Island "Wwwhheeee, it´s like I drunk an entire coffeeplantage, with donkeys and all!!"

    :coffee:
