Your longest gaming session?

Took 4 days off of work for it. My PTOs were expiring that month so I had to use it anyway. Not to mention Persona 5 was my most highly anticipated game.
It probably wasn't literally one straight session that I never got up from or tabbed out of, but I remember pulling an all nighter when The Witness came out and finishing it like 12 hours after it launched on Steam or something stupid.
That's a good game.

Can't remember but I imagine COD4 and MW2 multiplayer probably hold the record. I couldn't put Witcher 3 down when that first came out either.
Probably Morrowind at some point 20 years ago or so. It was probably something like 18 hours. Basically from the moment I got up until I went back to bed lol.
About 18 hours for MGS2. I rented it and had college work get in the way. On the last day before I had to return it I woke up started the game up and played through the whole game in one sitting with only bathroom and snack stops. Those weird calls from the colonel late in the game really messed with my head at that point.
I did 8 hour + gaming sessions for KOTOR, Phantom Pain, Destiny, and I believe Breath of the Wild so that's my record
Oh boy, gotta be around 15-20 hours or so playing WoW.
We used to all go to my buddy's place and set up our PC's in his garage during the summer. We would stay up all night playing it.

Your typical, start game at 8, will play till 11, oh look it's 4 am. So pick a Bethesda Open World from last-gen or more recently Civ 6. Nothing more than an 8 hour though unless I started playing Skyrim or Fallout New Vegas at 6 instead of 8 :D
Probably around 9-12 hours when I was doing a marathon of all the SNES, PS1, and PS2 Final Fantasy games roughly 17-18 years ago. Was still in my 20s. Would come home, get some exercise and dinner in, and then play from like 6PM until anywhere between 3AM and 6AM, get a little bit of sleep, and then go into work by 8AM and function fine. I could never do that anymore!
I usually have an annual 24 hour sesh with my buddy. We did it about 3 years in a row before we now have to sleep at night. Gettin' olddd
I played through the entire story of Harvest Moon 64 - about 34 hours - in one sitting starting at bedtime on the Christmas it came out.
I don't know how long the individual sessions were, because looking back at it I can't accept that I didn't sleep at least a little, but I once built a scale model of Rapper / actor Ice Cube in minecraft over 32 hours.
I had a bad habit of losing time in college, sometimes to games and sometimes to projects. I can think of multiple times I went as many as three days without any real sleep because of various projects. Not as bad anymore, worse thing that happens now is sometimes when my partner is out of town I forget to eat.

Around 7 hours on two occasions: Blades of Steel on NES and Snatcher on Sega CD. I rushed the latter because it was a rental.
Probably 10-12 hours, in high school on a weekend going from noon/1pm to midnight or later wasn't that hard. Probably did it 3 or 4 times around big Xbox 360 releases.
In recent memory two Saturdays ago I played DQ XI for 8 hours and it was pretty great, don't get the opportunity for that much anymore though.

I don't know exactly how long was spent playing games but back in high school years ago my 3 closest friends and I were talking crap about who could stay up the longest so we all got on Xbox live and said last person who falls asleep gets $50 from each other person. You couldn't leave the mic for more than 5 min at a time.
Over the next 26hrs we played video games, watched bad horror movies, and talked about everything from girls to careers to yo momma jokes. I came in 2nd, still had to pay lmao I couldn't hold on. So not all video games the entire time but a lot was played.

Back in the Counter-Strike 1.6 / CS: Source days, I used to do 12-15 hour play sessions like every weekend
Beat PokƩmon Y in two days when it came out - twelve hours the first day, twelve hours the next
