I just logged in 10 hours of Dragon Age:Origins straight :O

I'm at the capital of Ferelden, in a house that's filled with mercenaries, archers and mages and I died for the first time. I popped up the reload screen(fortunately I had auto-save on, so my last save was when I entered that very house) and I realized I had been playing for 10 hours.  
I woke up at 9:00ish, opened my presents until I found Dragon Age, installed it and began playing as a Human Noble, trying to be a good guy(altough in this game that's easier said than done) and it's now 20:00 (GMT is my time zone). Has this happened to any of you guys? Last game I've played so compulsively was Mass Effect on the 360.

 
First of all, if you're playing on x360, congrats on not get RROD. 
I've often played for stretches that long in the past when I had some friends over (about a day once). It's very fun to do yes.  
 
Merry Christmas.

I often do that because I have nothing better to do.  I think the longest I've played a game was something like 12 hours on Persona 4.

Isn't that what we ALL have done this christmas?

Just completed another 6hrs on the PC. I cant even imagine how it play on a console, but who cares it is a great game.

I don't know if I ever did a 10 hour stretch, but when I got MGS4, a friend and I played it all night until the sun came up.

You spent your whole Christmas day sitting in your room by yourself playing Dragon Age? Lucky bastard, I spent mine trying to get the damn game to install!

I did the same with Mass Effect, haha

Nope, didn't do that. I tend to play for 1-3hour stretches with some breaks in between. 
 
The only game I remember playing for.. well, near 24-hours is WoW...

Meh, I played Mass Effect for about the same (on and off through the day) yesterday as well.  I tend to play for long stretches of time when I do play.  Kind of like "binge drinking".  I won't play for days and days then put in 8-10 hours on a Saturday.  Still, it's not as bad as when I was playing World of Warcraft.  I can recall doing 16+ hour sittings then. 

this is the kind of game that'll do that...i played for 6 hours straight..usually i don't have sittings that long, i tend to play for 2 hours..

I definitley like this game, but I find myself sort of bored after a while. Am I really the only person to experience this?

Is that the building where three doors lead into the same room and there are three Blood Mages (plus about a billion other guys) inside?  That was probably the toughest fight in the whole game for me - I eventually fluked it on about the third try because last man standing Alistair hit a level up right before he went down.  Everything else was cake after that.
 
Last game I played solid like that was Shenmue 2.  I can't really game like that anymore, I start to lose interest.

Well, one time I raided in World of Warcraft for almost 10 hours. That's about what I can remember. Console games I usually play in 1-2 hour bursts.
