yeah I will never play anything close to 72 hours straight again. I slept almost an entire day away and woke up feeling sick as hell and was for about 2 days. Granted...I made like 150$ and being as young as I was that was damn good money to me lol. Now on avg I play 10-15 if its something I am REALLY into.

Like right now I am about to pop in borderlands...my guess is I will play this until about 4 am or thru tomorrow morning
Yep, I know im the one ya love to hate.

Although I have a ton of time on my hands,
I can't play more than 2-3 hours. My brain just shuts down, i can't concentrate any more.
I can play longer when I do not need concentration, like online I can play for 6 hours because I know what to do and just fight. But if I have to figure stuff out, I simply can't. I am not sure how you guys do it, it amazes me.

how can you make money of diablo 2?

well with diablo 2 and ebay...you could make characters, sell "mule" accounts full of items, sell accounts ready for PvP, sell items....you could do just about anything and sell in diablo 2. My copy of diablo paid for itself I know 50 times over lol

I just remember playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 from like 7am to 9pm. That is pretty much longest I have ever played, Metal Gear Solid 4 is a close second, mainly because I got so into the story that I just could not pull myself out of it, like I have to force myself to stop. At least MGS4 let me take breaks between installation, and that gave me time to go to the bathroom, make myself a sandwich, and watch the next cut scene when I have my lunch.

Back in august 99 I rented a dreamcast from hollywood video before it came out. It didn't come with a vmu though so I couldn't save. I think I played Sonic Adventure for about 10 hours straight. Didn't beat it though. . . .

I don't have an exact number of hours but when i get into a good rpg a whole day may pass without me noticing it at all.
