From memory:

Halo 3 midnight launch and day off, ODST midnight launch and day off, and I think Reach midnight launch and day off.

All taken as annual leave.

I recall playing both MSR and Chrono Cross an amazing amount when I was crook, but I was actually sick, and they happened to be the game of the moment.

Chrono Cross is the only game I've played for more than 14+ hours a day repeated days in a row, iirc. Never again.

I remember falling ill on the day I collected Link's Awakening from EB or whatever it was back then. Seriously. Poor little me had to stay in bed and play it until it was finished. That may sound great, but I was actully off school for 2 weeks with a real bad fever and flu type stuff.

Missed out a whole coursework for maths as a result. But the teacher did it for me in 10 minutes just before it had to be sent off the to the examining boards at the end of the year when he realised that mine was missing, so all is well.
