lol...kinda reminds me of retro gaming (NES, SNES, Mega Drive...), when you always had to play from the 1st level,
the difference is that those games weren't as lengthy as ps2 games...guy you really try O...lol
Seriously,it was the first ratchet and clank game and I found it difficult saving the bolts i earned,there was this weapon I wanted badly in the market and i needed 150,000 bolts to buy it, every time i switched the game off my bolt went down it happened 4 times then i decided its game on until the next day,you need to see me bouncing on the bed when i hit 150k cheesy cheesy grin grin

I WILL BE A GAMER FOR LIFE

There is something about games,it makes your mind go blank(you become a kid,all your worries take the back-seat) and that is good for relaxation.

chaircover: Very bad parenting

Come oooooo!!!!! - Does that mean that the 15 year old had no house chores to do for 4 days? Send that kid to my house please

Some sense is here.

Some parents are not worthy to be called parents, how can a mother allow her son to play Xbox for 4 good days. Does that show any sign of responsible wife?

CeaserB: Gaming is fun if you plan your time wisely. I'm in my 20s and I still love video games. From Sega Genesis to Mega Drive 2 to Nintendo 64 to Playstation 1, 2 and now I'm on 3. I don't like X-box. The longest stretch I've gone is 13 hours of gaming even as a kid. My eyes went red and I couldn't feel my hands it was dry like a stick.
I still play a lot of games when I want to at least 4 hours a day and at most 8 hours. I just can't stop it. It's an addiction even my girlfriend complains about it.

So your girlfriend watches you sit like a Zombie for 8 hours moving only your hands

What a nice girl.

Definitely not mine.

fellis: The boy didn't follow the required procedures. If you want to play a game for 4 days straight, you get supplies (food and drink ) around you before you begin. You don't just start without planning first.
My brother Please don't as it's dangerous to health. Playing games for even 24 hours with supplies all around you means that the only actively moving parts of your body at best will be your fingers, your elbow joints and occasionally your trunk when you try to pick of the supplies you have around you. Know what dangers are in staying inactive for so long? There's no significant muscle pumping activity going on all those periods and at any one time you pool at at least 2 litres of your blood volume in the thigh and pelvis regions (which is why traumas in those areas May result in significant blood loss) and so your heart only does the job. When moving, your leg muscles contribute to aiding veinous return to the heart. So in short sitting that inactive for 48hours means blood pooling in these areas. Now next thing is that pooled or slow moving blood has propensity to easily form clots. So you have one or two clots getting formed therein. By the time you eventually stand up to move, after your 48hours, your leg muscles get to dislodge these clots which go straight to your heart and then to the lung circulation. There's nothing as dangerous as circulating a clot in the bloodstream, in fact it's incompatible with life. What results is pulmonary embolism or at least a coronary - death just as SimonAndal said above (bold)

You are responsible for your health.
