Note: I just might be rofling, ever so slightly, right about now. But grats on 36 hrs if you truly played that straight up with minimal break. Impressive, especially if achieved without the use of what is otherwise known as “hard” street drugs.
I don’t know my record but I’ve definitely had the game itself run a very long time.
I still get shivers and twitching every time I hear or see the word “Lich”. But not from WoW. Long before WoW, there was another game - Baldur’s Gate 2 - Shadows of Amn. It had a few liches, powerful enough to destroy your entire party. But there was one… Kangaxx… So many sleepless nights in the times when internet guides were a distant future… One of the toughest enemies I’ve ever faced in the virtual world…
I never used anything other than caffeine for gaming. Only drug I ever took when I was young was pot and I turned that into a once or twice a year thing pretty quick.
36 hours is nothing compared to when I was addict d to WoW
This crpg/D&D noob (at the time) beat him using interwebs guides. Same with the dragons. I bought the game on release day too. I don’t think the gudies were a distant future at that time.
I got the game around April-June 2000. Was living in univ dorms at the time. We had no internet. That was some 2.5-3k miles away from the nearest first world country. So, for me, the guides weren’t accessible for another year at least. With my friends, however, we had constant discussions about strategies to beat him and the dragons. Good old times…
