It's worse when you and others have to do dumb things like that only to try and meet an artificial deadline made by someone who's at home sleeping while you work...

That's exactly what it was. A buyer from a top client came in on Friday lunchtime, ordered a ton of signage and said cost was no object as long as the signs were in place by Monday evening. We made a small fortune in 3 days but everyone was useless for the next week. Sooo glad I'm out of the manufacturing industry.

Ive done many 12+ hour gaming sessions.
 
Also stuff like watching the LOTR extended trilogy back to back.
 
And now I also have a £300 chair that is even more comfortable to sleep in than my memory foam matress and contour pillow, and causes extreme levels of bliss when sat in all day long.

Wow, 300 pounds is a heavy chair!
 
Sorry, it's Friday. :)

I got this one in red when it was on a weekly offer for £285 (normal price £335):

Not the slightest bit of discomfort or any problems from sitting it it 24/7... Except obesity.
 
And if you want a nap, tilt it all the way back.

In the old days of EQ ... Saturdays and Sundays were reserved for huge raiding sessions of very large groups that normally took about 8 hours. WoW had much of the same thing at the start, with 40 players which was half of what EQ was doing. Molten Core, at the time (12 years? or more) took 8 hours on Saturday and 9 hours on Sunday to complete.
 
The issue I have with that kind of gaming is that it should be done as a "team" so you can switch out people and keep them fresh, thus the design of the tournament is pathetic, stupid and sadistic to say the least.

Yea back in the day I was doing 8+ hour sessions of Guild Wars PVP. After that I no longer play any game thst requires other people to play with.
 
Its just not fun when everyone takes games that seriously. Someone dies in 1-2 seconds ....
