I've played games for 72 hours straight before, so yes, hardcore gamers do exist.
When Fallout Tactics first came out, I played it non-stop for a FULL MONTH. I'd play in sessions about 32hours long, eat twice while playing, a couple quick restroom breaks, sleep for 8 hours, then another 32 hours straight playing (for a month!). EDIT: Oh yeah, I guess I showerd like 5 or 6 times that month...
And I'm not dead.
