    Ah, I though it said 'bingo'.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 895 ✭✭✭Dughorm


    Sorry, forgot to include bingo as an option father!

    I played 34 consecutive hours of online poker when I was about 19.

    Each year with GoT, wait for all episodes to be out and watch 5 one day and 5 the next

    Watched the final season of breaking bad straight through


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,299 ✭✭✭✭The Backwards Man


    Used to work 36 hour shifts when I was a young wan. Not too bad the first couple of times, but after that it gets dodgy. Don't know how doctors do it, the hallucinations and the fighting sleep are scary enough, but it's when they stop and are replaced by blackness you know you're in bother.

    Apart from that, I ate a whole KFC family bucket myself once.

    If I had been any hungrier I might even have eaten what was in it.

    TV shows - I watched 5 seasons of Shameless in around a week there before Christmas.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,455 ✭✭✭maudgonner


    The entire series of Band of Brothers one Saturday when I was sick in bed.

    After 10 hours I was a swollen-eyed, snotty emotional wreck.

    Bloody great series though!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,226 ✭✭✭boobar


    12 hours of Oz...the prison drama.

    Then nightmares of being arrested, thrown in jail and unspeakable horror.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,400 ✭✭✭Medusa22


    I tend to binge on all of my favourite things to be honest, I'm not good with moderation. So internet, food, sex, alcohol, books, films, shows, gaming etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,909 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    3 day boozing session when I was in my 20s, one of many back then I'm ashamed to say.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,596 ✭✭✭hairyslug


    I watched the 1st season of Silicon valley in one sitting.

    That and all the coke obviously


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,642 ✭✭✭MRnotlob606


    Books.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 65 ✭✭Anaiyela


    So cliché but it was Making a Murder


  • Posts: 21,679 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I wouldn't be a big fan of moderation. Even the phrase "everything in moderation". Shudder.

    I had a sex filled 24 hours a few months back. It was intense and helped along with an almost primal like lust for each other. On Wednesday night I had many drinks. It was a brilliant night. One of those that you think is going to be a chat and then home.

    Last Saturday I had a 12inch pizza, potatoe wedges and cheese ball things. Oh and precious coke! Then I had a big slice of banoffee. I then spent 10 hrs watching the final season of Borgen. With some more coke and a few sweets from the Christmas Quality Street tin :P

    When I was in my early twenties I was a big fan of Buffy. My friends and myself watched every episode of every season there was at the time over the length of time it took to watch them back to back. It was about 14 years ago so I can't really remember but it was a lot of Buffy.

    Mods, can you add Bingo as a choice and change my vote from Sex&Orgies to Bingo?

    I've gamed for over 24hrs straight.
    Drink and drugs house party for 4 days solid.
    Work, I've done 36 hours split between 2 jobs... Shift in one place, straight to the other and straight back again.

    Kids and a family now have ruled out the chances of the first 2 ever happening again....

    If you add a "Sex & Orgies during Bingo", I'll change my vote to that?

    I eat bread at night. More than two slices is way too much. Unfortunately I get hungry at night. I might eat more chocolate, fruit or slices of meat to satisfy my hunger.

    I once watched 16 episodes of 24 in one day. At one point, the time on the screen was the same as the actual time. I was delighted.
    I watched all 6 series of Nip Tuck in about 2 weeks.
    Recently I watched Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, Predator and American Psycho all in one day.

    Few years ago myself and a few lads I work with went out drinking something like 23 nights in one month (not 23 days in a row but obviously there were many 3 and 4 consecutive nights needed to get 23 days in one month). Minimum on any of the nights was probably around 6 pints and some were extremely heavy days/nights and most of the night were week nights. None of us missed a days work either (though one or two work days were taken as holidays due to being away).

    Could probably tick them all on the list actually - some of them at the same time. Except probably gaming.

    These days not so much of them though. Tend to do a little bit of all things - rather than over do any one.

    Three day house party. Booze, drugs, clumsy sex. All of the good stuff.

    Yesterday I had six Kitkat Chunkies, a litre and a half of Coke and a kebab.
    How times change.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,262 ✭✭✭✭GavRedKing


    I remember as a secondary school student during the summer I ended up playing one of the Final Fantasy games for about 20hours.

    It wasnt planned at all, but after waking up early at about 8am I ended up playing through until about 5am the next morning, a few snack, dinner and bathroom breaks helped but I just got totally immersed in the game and lost track of time.

    You need to get those times back to the first sentence :p

    Harder than it sounds. Everyone seems to be making attempts at being mature.
    I suppose I could try it alone but that would probably get me in trouble. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    Watched the full box set of The Wire in about 5-6 days. I think over a Saturday/Sunday period I watched about 25 episodes.

    Prob would have got it watched quicker but work got in the way :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,320 ✭✭✭Ace Attorney


    Probably gaming, alcohol and tv series binges. Nothing like a few beers playing a good video game. Stayed over 24 hrs before, playing gta san adreas multiplayer mod on pc , bloody thing was addictive!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,175 ✭✭✭intheclouds


    Sleep.

    I can sleep for 12 hours straight on any weekend night, without even being any more tired than normal.

    But I have occasionally slept for 14-16 hours straight, without any alcohol, drugs, illness or particular tiredness being involved.

    Actually Ive had to try and cut back on it as I have a tendency to feel awful from too much sleep and it can trigger ocular migraine as well which isnt good.

    But its so hard, I just want to sleep!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,022 ✭✭✭jamesbere


    20 straight hours of playing fifa, taught my eyes were going to explode. Also 16 hours of watching csi.
