I'm gonna have to agree with you. I stopped five hours short of my 24 hour marathon. I got stuck with only two med packs on Dantooine. I kept having to fast travel back to my ship since it refills health when you do that. After the tenth time of doing that I had to put the game down. I'm trying to find a way to cheat at that card game so i can win more credits to buy medpacks.

Oh well. It was a fun experience. I think I've reached the point in my life where playing for long stretches of time are past me.

Next marathon I'm gonna try splitting the time between two games. Maybe Jade Empire and Fallout 3.

You stopped short? Next time it's Desert Bus, for charity.

Re: Gaming Marathon Suggestions

I try to make my vacations as boring as possible. That way it seems like they last longer. They'd just fly by if I was playing video games!
