Seriously.
You and me both. Hell, my first run through FF10 was done with only bathroom breaks every few hours, and it was definitely over 50 hours played by the time I was done.

I got another game that I can play for more than 40 hours... with maybe
30 minute refresh times inbetween. It's also a helluva a lot more fun than
GTA, since you can play it with another person.

That was internet usage. I'm guessing it's different with games?

This makes me lol, back when I had no job and was playing L2 this was a daily occurance for me. I used to play grind sessions of like 20-30 hrs and then sleep for 3-4hrs and then grind again.

Infact at one point when I was playing on a private server, they wiped the server and when it came back up I played for ~50hrs straight with nothing other than bathroom breaks, since I knew when the server was coming up, I went out and stocked up on food and drink so I didnt have to leave the computer.

Back in my WoW days I'd play pretty much all weekend through. Breaks only for bathroom and TV dinners.

The biggest issue is your eyes start feeling dry and you just want to close them because every blink feels like 2 pieces of sand paper scrapping.

Visine helps a little...

There's always some elitist who will come up with such answers when he encounters someone who's been playing too much. Because real life socializing is so important.
