Back in my younger days I once was playing Baldur's Gate at my desk when I heard my father go to bed. I had literally not left my chair when he got up to go to work the next morning, eight hours later.
In my really younger days, I'd MUD all day long. I'd even stay logged on when I went to class so I didn't lose my spot on the server (100 player limit).
Both of these served as reality checks for me. Now I cannot game much more than three or four hours straight without getting blurry vision and a sore back. Man, I feel old.
