The Daily Grind: What's the longest you've ever played in one sitting?
It's the hallmark of many classic gaming stories to "confess" just how addicted you became after spending sixteen solid days in front of a game without leaving for biological necessities and work-and-or-school. Think of it as the geek's version of the "I got SO wasted last night!" epic tale that's probably more gross than entertaining, but it needs to be shared nonetheless. So what's your confession? How long have you played an MMO in one sitting -- and what were the circumstances? Was it a brand-new game that got you hooked from the get-go? Did you set aside time for a truly monumental marathon? Were you involved in a raid that would never end? For a bonus question, was it worth it for the memories and would you ever do something like that again? Every morning, the Massively bloggers probe the minds of their readers with deep, thought-provoking questions about that most serious of topics: massively online gaming. We crave your opinions, so grab your caffeinated beverage of choice and chime in on today's Daily Grind!
