I blame TFT monitors myself. All that funny witchcraft and plasma, it creates lifeforms. I lock mine up behind a FluxCage.

Yeah Paul, you could be right. I've only just recovered from the Simpsons escape last week. Got those little sods safely stored on the wall as you can see.

oh no , last night I was playing Doom and forgot to turn it off! I`ll have a look at the fridge (I have a computer in the kitchen).

Adamo, I had the same problem with Doom ! I have a picture of that also. let me know your Email and I will send it. Forewarned is forearmed after all.

I love that I couldn't stop laughing. I can see CSB is on the screen. and there's a webcam to record what all they did on your computer. Show us that footage!

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Thu Jun 30, 2005 8:04 pm

The webcam footage has been impounded by the R.S.P.C.A I'm afraid. What they did to my cat doesn't bear thinking about.

And what that bloody dragon did on my computer took A LOT of cleaning up.

Is that you, Froud?
This inspired me for a movie I could record with my video cam. I read this forum, then leave my comp on and edit it so that those guys appear.
Then I run away.
I run away.
run away.
away.

Yes it was me. Forgot to login last time. Your movie sounds great, Harry Potter ? pffft. What a chase movie it could be. Pursued across two continents by those fiends. Perhaps we could all be in it. All forum members combining to drive the little swine back where they belong.

Johnny Depp to play me I think

A similar effect can be gained by eating mushrooms of a dubious nature.

and playing csb for 19 hours straight, some alcohol, and walking around

ADDF_Toxic · Post by **ADDF_Toxic** » Thu Jun 30, 2005 11:56 pm

That does happen sometimes. I haven't started the movie yet.]
Paul, what on earth are you talking about?

Adamo · Post by **Adamo** » Fri Jul 01, 2005 1:43 am

playing csb for 19 hours straight

is this your record, 19 h? well, I`m impressed. I think I spent most about half of a day (12 h) playing Conflux and I was dying after that!
But as far as I remember, I had as long sessions with Settlers on my Amiga years ago, also something about 18-19 hours, or maybe more, and after that time I couldn`t get slept (when I was closing my eyes I was PLAYING in my mind, like in front of the monitor (was seeing these little people building a village!)!! That was totally, absolutely ill !!

Post by **Ameena** » Fri Jul 01, 2005 1:45 am

I was playing EQ for 13 hours once...we had a raid that came to 12 hours plus half an hour each side for messing around, sorting groups, etc...

Trantor · Post by **Trantor** » Fri Jul 01, 2005 1:47 am

I think the longest I did was about 12 hours of LAN Diablo 2... But I played pen&paper D&D for 16 hours straight once... We were all so tired that the last 2 or 3 hours were just non-productive joking.

ADDF_Toxic · Post by **ADDF_Toxic** » Fri Jul 01, 2005 3:56 am

I would have to eat in between if I did that! That wouldn't happen with me...maybe if I'm obsessed enough and I'm fasting!

Post by **Zyx** » Fri Jul 01, 2005 7:39 am

The same happened to me with Civilization, Adamo. Eyes were closed, body in bed, but the mind still in the game! I usually played one or two turns in my head before sleeping!

Trantor, I once mastered a 24h P&P RPG to my friends who were newbies to AD&D. They had level 3 characters.
When they reached the final boss, a gigantic serpent who raised a human head, it gazed into the eyes of their best warrior, uttered "DIE!" and the dwarf fell to floor, drooling and convulsing, and stopped breathing (or so it seemed). Then their only magician was shocked by an aura of fear and lost all his magic means. Ah ah, all the players were pale of fright and trembling!
Imagine what it is to cross a 24h odyssey, building trust into your team, winning skirmishes, surviving traps, hiding, exploring, etc., and then suddenly face something clearly bigger than you and feel that the time of your death (or at least, of your character) has come! Bwahahaha!

I also did once a 30h non-stop session of work in my firm (coding a belated project already sold to a client). But it was less fun.

Funnie picture...and reactions.

My computer has only been saved from zyx and certain death by my not drinking anything at this current moment to spit into the open electronics.

I remember during my brief P&P D&D stint creating an 'unkillable' skeleton king recurring villian, with both an anti-magic shield and a physical shield (generated from the helm he wore). Finding out more about him, and learning the existence of peaces of a great axe to quest for, unite and kill him would be a fun set of quests and a background arc. Of course, there was nothing in my mind to stop the attempt (through telepathy) of just knocking the helmet from his head either. Ah, how he encouraged such hopelessness and running in fear....

There's something really adorable about that picture. Or maybe it's just because I'm tired.

I've pulled 12+ hour stints on some games, but I don't remember which. I think if I tried to play DM for that long, my poor heart would give up under all the stress.
