March 2, 200718 yr This is not the first time this has happened in Asia, won't be the last. I had a Korean friend who used to pull 48 hour stints of Everquest and fall asleep on us during raids. Must I've ever done is 24 hours.... and that was too much. Best I can do these days is 2 to 4 hours then I'm sorely needing a break.
