My longest was probably 14 hours, overnight on Illusion of Time on the SNES many, many years ago. I could barely function the next day, so I had a shower, then played for another 5.

I am assuming the poor lad is struggling with Spec Ops? He doesn’t explain why the game sucks. Perhaps he should consider using a walkthrough. After 17 hours (the game is quite short) he could have done with a couple of hints or so.

Please don’t let the tabloids get hold of this video. This lad could be end up being the turning point of this industry…

“I watched the first five seasons of lost in one sitting. Then I had a psychotic episode.”

I recently watched every season of the Sopranos over a week or so…

…and was confused by the ending.

I once watched nine months worth of Eastenders over a few days when my missus came back from working in Germany.

We were borderline suicidal by the end of it.

I did about 72 hours on and off with the flu, in bed, off work playing TLoZ Wind Waker when it came out. It was a strange experience. I’m not sure if the game made my flu better or worse. It sent me a little bit mad I’d say

Yeah, I’m dying a lot in the game as well. But I don’t film myself crying about it and put it on the internet. Maybe I should?

I assume you mean with bouts of sleep… because I’m pretty certain after 64 hours of gaming without sleep you’d do some permanent damage to yourself.

(Not to mention that would have smashed the world record. )

My best is 64 straight hours on Championship Manager on the Amiga back in the early 90s.

That was really really fucked up. When he started punching the wall my jaw almost fell off. Poor kid needs to sleep, I wouldn’t be surprised if the crazy van comes round to his house sooner or later.

I think I played WoW for something like 24 hours straight once. I felt really, really ill by the end of it.

I honestly don’t know what’s worse, the cringeworthy contents of the video, or the bile filled comments.

I mean people just openly telling him to go kill himself or make a suicide video next, mixed with a heap of comments on how ugly the poor kid is! The guy clearly has issues so I’d be very worried about firing off those sorts of comments at him.

Poor show all round really.

After watching that, he’s either a comic genius or needs serious psychological help.

bravotangosix, I don’t know what to say, I believe this generation has been broguht up on mature games.

Not one of my friends hadn’t played GTA3 when they were 12 or 13. And then each successive GTA, while underage.

I knew kids, who had played Manhunt when it came out, my age.

While it’s hypocritical of me to do my own backseat psycho-analysis and protest yours, it’s safe to say mine is way more general. And even then, I am comfortable saying mine is very likely not an accurate summation of the cause of his problems.

Really come on only 17 hours, I hope this guy is not on my friends list if this vid really legit. I have played well over 17 hours straight on games like FF7, Beyond the Beyond, Rogue Galaxy, Lunar, Grandia, Suikoden, Disgaea and more. My buddy even played Counterstrike Source so long his nose started bleeding and he still kept playing I think his nose started bleeding at around 48 hours!

Everybody seems to have skipped over the fact that MW2 is an 18 rated game and that this kid is far from 18, be that phyiscally or mentally. Children are not equiped to deal with too many mental pressures or strains. This child is a prime example of why we have a rating system and what happens when that rating system is ignored just to satisfy the demand he has put on his parents to buy him the latest games. Rules are there for adults, parents are supposed to be there for children. Where are the parents?

I am with Hunam completely. The correlation between PS3 owners and this behaviour is pretty much a constant.

I just never could play for so long, I guess it’s because I play a game for as long as it’s exactly ‘fun’.. I mean, I could never get into stuff like WoW, or MMOs in general. games like that are more like some kind of an uh, hobby.

It’s fine very occasionally to play a game all day and night… Just not fine to react like this.

Indeed, no doubt clueless parents. Or none at all and a lack of guidance. I am not gonna have kids ever… NEVER.
