Games you played for 24 hours and more: "gameplay, let me eat, please!"

Same here. Back when i first got a laptop that could (barely) run TF2, it was the Summer and I was only ~14 years old, so i would straight up wake up, take a shower, eat if i was hungry, and play TF2 all day, pausing if i was hungry. I'd go to bed to wake up to do the same the next day. It was a very blessed time. That being said, i'd probably say i only played, at most, 13 hours straight.
I don't think i'd even come close to that dedication ever again. No game, not even tf2, holds my attention that long. I also think it's unrealistic to even wonder if people played any game for 24 hours straight - most people would stsrt getting tired 12 hours in, and at thst point, they're more fighting to stay awake. 24 hour streams for charity or another thing, though.
I can't really remember any time where I played a whole lot in one sitting. I remember one time in early WoW where dungeons actually took time, and people would regularly quit after doing one or two bosses. I was in the starting group for a dungeon run, and I was the only person from that original group left when finishing it. It was either Wailing Caverns or Maraudon. or maybe it happened twice with one of each, it was a long time ago and I vaguely remember it happening in both
I can brag, however, that I put 140 hours into Dragons Dogma in the 3 weeks after it came out.
No breaks the longest I went was 8 hours. Online endurance racing. If you want sore ankles, do 8 hours on a road course
i've only hit 24 hours twice; once when I was with the only friend I had during childhood, when we played Halo 3 and Gears of War 2 for 24 hours straight over a weekend, only ever getting up for a few bathroom breaks and energy drinks, and once when I was at the height of my CS:GO addiction and blasted through 24 hours of competitive
The first time I was up all night was when I played ~12 hours of Garry's Mod with my brothers on Electriconslaught, building a big ole fort then playing the actual onslaught for maybe half an hour because it got so damn laggy!
I was about 15 at the time I think and was completely fucked by it
Hit 52 hours with Diablo 2 LoD back when it first came out. Only stopped for bathroom breaks and grabbing a snack. I wanted to spend the entire weekend focused on the game before I'd have to back to school the next monday. I got so sick though, I missed school anyway.
Well never 24 hours, but I've done some game sessions of long hours. Some of them:
About 10 - 12 hours playing Terraria with friends at a lan.
8-10 hour session of Divinity Original Sin with a friend.
World of Warcraft 10 - 12 hours with friends.
i don't think i spent 24 hours playing a single game. Most i have played was up to 12 hours, probably was GTA 5
My freshman year of college I was snowed-in at the dorms for a few days and since classes were cancelled for the week and the whole town was more or less shut down, one of my friends suggested we pass the time with Terraria. I hadn't played it before then so I had no idea what to expect.
We had a co-op game running non-stop for three days, only pausing briefly to shower and groom and whatnot. I can't remember if either of us even ate during that period. His roommate stopped in on occasion to grab things and stare at us weirdly, and mine had legitimately started to worry that I had died. I don't know how I managed to stay awake, but I know at the end I felt like vomiting from exhaustion. I've never done anything like that since.
Back when Terraria came out, we had some VERY unhealthy sessions with it with my friends.
We seriously played like 12 hours straight multiple times.
Me and one other friend couldn't close our eyes without seeing Terraria, and one of us got so sleep deprived he started fighting Eater of Worlds on his arm.
It was great!
I used to play Guitar Hero III like 12 hours a day in middle school.
Uuuugggghhhhh
As aforementioned by others, Civ 5 is typically the culprit. It swallows up hours and can feel like ten minutes, even if you've watched both sunrise and sunset within the same session.
When I was going through my depressive rut, TF2 could also do the same, typically because I would stick to 24-person or 32-person servers that were almost always full and it gave me the illusion that I was a tad less lonely. Leaving was like ripping off the most painful band-aid (is that what they're called?) so I was rather reluctant to do so, even if my eyes physically began to burn in agony. Nowadays, three hours is fucking wild for me.
I used to rot Oblivion for 10 hours at a time back when I got it, nowadays the only contender is Skyrim but I spend 2 hours finding mods to 1 hour of gameplay so that doesn't count
Thanks, everyone for sharing!
These days I really wonder how I was able to play so much without breaks. Even if that happened once or twice. It seems like I'm not able to live without sleep/food now and that really annoyes. I feel like I'm 50 or so. Also sleeping takes too much time we can spend for smth useful/interesting as life is too short to sleep 8 hours a day.
when dead space 3 came out i beat it twice in one sitting (not counting bathroom breaks)
i was also really addicted to dark souls 2 when i first got it
I have stayed up for 25 hours playing games, but I've never played only one game for that long. The closest thing would probably be a 10 hour game of Empire Earth.
The only game that I played for 24 hours straight was Civilization 5 when I first got it.
One more turn, man.
I played Neocron over 24 hours a couple of times as a young lad, gotta level up those characters.
Christ, and to think I got exhausted after doing a CodZombies easter egg for like, 3 hours.
Was a success, though. Real fucking hard, one fuckup means the entire thing goes to shit.
5000 hours in Gmod. Multiple 12+ hours playing when I was a kid.
Now I'm older and RP servers dont hold my interest. Plus I got life shit to deal with lol.
