I'll watch a bit after my classes, seems like an interesting idea (and because I'll be a little jealous if you actually can stay awake for 100 hours straight, I always end up crashing after about 35-40). But, like pretty much everyone else has said, stay safe :p " Gl mate, I will definitely watch :) Im planning similar streaming marathones after I end highschool (fml Im 20 atm -_-), might learn something ;) U have my support! (sic) 20 and still in high school? Ouch. I'm glad I got out when I was 18 (I'm also 20, just started junior year at university).

Its not a good thing to do really, ive gone 5 days a few times no sleep/food with helpers... in my past and trust me its not a very good thing to do to your body. i slept for 2 days straight the first time.. i still wonder if it was a coma or not. ign - spybone add me up!

Had to do +100h on an exercise in the army, was hard to stay awake in the end but we had no death of the +30 people that did it :) Because sleep deprivation can lead to death. ;) Anyway, good luck from me again, if you happen to die on screen that's just one more guy for a darwin award. But I highly doubt that with his roommates looking after him etc. CliveHowlitzer wrote: I am now too addicted to that feeling of being kicked in the nuts when you die.

it can ya. but i dont think its very likely to happen, the human body can survive more thanu think :P I felt like i was dying tho after 5.5 days with barely any food (tons of other things i wont mention)then the 2 day sleep (maybe a coma?) It was stupid but i was young haha, as long as he eats and drinks he'd be good to go for the 100hrs' ps . i still dont recommend doing this, its very harsh on your body! ign - spybone add me up!

" MrMordred wrote: The first major hurdle is the 55 hour mark(ish), that's when you feel it hit you. When you get to 70, you stop thinking straight. After 80, you kinda relax again, and it just feels like you've had a really, really long day, the whole time. No hallucinations or any of that junk. At 100 hours, the struggle is to keep yourself occupied, because even the smallest inattention can lead to a microsleep. Microsleep is essentially a black out and can occur no matter how occupied you are. I'm sure you aren't aware of all of the health risks and issues caused by sleep deprivation of this nature, and I doubt the risk is even worth the reward. You may be playing more but you won't be playing efficiently.	Posted by bferret#5709 on Jan 13, 2013, 7:26:15 AM Quote this Post
