Lately Team Fortress Classic has been eating my hours again--my longest marathon since Legend
of Zelda (way back when...) has been five hours. Strategy PC-game sessions have been
longer--I remember over a holiday break, some friends and I played Lords of the Realm for two
days, no sleep. Granted, this pales in comparison to some marathon tabletop gaming sessions,
but it's still hard on the eyes. :)
