marathon!

[adminpoll]44[/adminpoll]

This one came up in a roundabout way. I just finished a marathon session of a new game I bought on Thursday night.

I've got a bad habit of doing that. I tried to compare this to other times I've tried to cram an entire experience of anything into a few days. It's usually anime... but with the exception of Everquest, back in the day. I was big into that one. I've played a lot of games, but that one is the only one I can truly say is bad for you.

As far as anime goes, I think I watched Escaflowne in one day from some guy I randomly met in my complex who had the fansubs. I think Maison Ikkoku was 90+ eps crammed into 5 days.

Oh, and there was Operating Systems. Looking back on my senior year in college, I have no freaking clue how I managed to do like 100+ hours of work in one week and still go to class. Not sitting around work, mind you, but actual brain-numbing computation work. Having a partner with zero programming ability was traumatizing. To this day, I still have the occasional nightmare about having a final for a class I thought I dropped.

I do know that there's this weird hole of about two years where nothing happened to me... hmm...

This is my story. Back in the day when playstation one was the best think since sliced bread I bought a game called FF VII. Well this was my first experance with an RPG and after a very rough first hour of play I decided I liked this game. I restarted the next day with a goal, to finish disk one without stopping. So I got my box of cheese its, and a bottle of coke and got to work. Well time went by and 21 hours later I was almost there. I was so excitied about how strong my characters were, the extra hours of leveling really paid off. I don't want to spoil anything but all of those whom have played know what happens next. Let me tell u I cryed, yes I really cried for a good 15 to 20 minutes then tired beyond belief my eyes burning from the TV, and I had to pee like a race horse I saved (did my thing) and went to bed. Thats my story sniff... as for anime well I have watched Bebop, Trigun, all of the short gundam series, Kenshin legend of Kyoto, and a 14+ hour horror of Eva series and movies, to much thinking.

I was home with a fractured wrist..........I marathoned Sailor Moon S , SS AND Stars!!!! 102 eps I believe. It really isn't as bad as it sounds if you fast forward thru all the transformation scenes. AHHH I miss those shipments of fansubs

Not to corrupt this poll but back in collage my friends (frat bros) and myself would play super tecmo bowl (the old 8 bit nintendo) for about 48hrs in a row. We would start the first season on friday night and finish with the second on sunday morning. Pass out from the beer and lack of sleep; get up 3 hrs later and go to meal and meeting. As far as shows the most is about 16 for me although I would like to try a Robotech marathon one weekend.

It was during summer break that I chomped through half of the 'Shaman King' series in one sitting. My back was sore from sitting in the same position, but sleep fixed that!

I had to stop to sleep at some point, otherwise I would've finished it. Fast forwarding past the OP/END sure cuts the time though. ;P
