    Default Four years ago today.

    A gentleman in South Korea played Diablo II in an internet cafe for 86 hours with no food or sleep, and eventually died.

    How long had you mindlessly held the controller in your hand with no regard for the outside world? My record is the twelve hours it took me to finish the original Suikoden in one sitting.

    Your joking?! The longest Ive ever gone would be about 6 hours or so. It was Escape from Moneky Island. Completed it the day I got it.

    I dunno, probably like 13 hours or something on FFXI. Beyond that like 10 hours or so on various other games.

    My freind had a record of 73 hours on FFXI. It was funny to listen to his comments about how he managed it. After that though he set a time limit for any one game before sleep.

    But in retrospec he did get like 20 levels or something in that time. >.>

    Did that guy at least wear a diaper or did he just sit there and piss and crap his pants the whole time he played?

    Its just so disturbing that this man allowed himself to go OTT with the game. I mean, why not just pull the plug on the PC the guy was using? Surely the people at the shop were concerned?

    Playing video games until you die is just the hot thing to do in Korea these days. He told them he was hardcore.

    Maybe 24 hours, but never straight through. I took pee breaks and food breaks.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    A good 50 or so, I was doing the extra stuff on Mega Man: Battle Network 2

    I dunno. I never let it interrupt my sleeping and eating schedules.
