I got about 5 hours of sleep a night for a week when I was playing BG2. I went hardcore, dude. Still took me about 2 weeks to beat it though.

ToB I finished in a more leisurely fashion. I had to wait for my new computer since my old one couldn't run it.

Although I haven't done it in a long time, I remember two marathon gaming sessions I did; one on Wizardry 7: Crusaders of the Dark Savant (stayed up almost 30 hours on that one at one time!) and one on Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny (pulled an all-nighter on that one because I got so engrossed in it).

I've played Wizards & Warriors for 6-8 hours at a time. For some reason, I can't play BG2 or IWD for long stretches at a time. I start getting fidgety and then have to stop and rest. I'm not sure if it's just the Infinity Engine interface that gets to me after awhile. I played 1st-person perspective games for 20 years, so that's probably why.

Cheers,

Whail during the summer i remember several 24 hour days playing bg, and Bg2, and ToB.

My parents didn't like that very much.

BG2 should come with a government health warning.
I've been up 4am in the morning. Play for 2 hours and go to sleep again.

You should read Rikards reply in the polls section under Internet Cafe .... he wrote about a kid who actually had heart failure after playing CS for like 2 straight days .......
