    I find the trick is to pour the Red Bull onto the pizza itself and let it harden before doing what REAL MLG PLAYERS™ do put the pizza directly into my stomach through my trusted MLG™-SPONSORED STOMACH SLEEVE. Also, I game on a custom MLG™-SPONSORED GAMING POOPERROCKER™, so running to the bathroom is no longer an issue.

    LIVE HARD. PLAY HARD. MLG™ 4 LIEF*, YO.

    So education and experience have nothing to do with it? Huh, might as well fire every teacher in existence and close down the schools.

    Before I found these MLG products, my gaming experiences were sad and short-lived. I always had to go the toilet or get food and drink, and that's no good at all when I want to play. But now, with the MLG Stomach Sleeve and the Gaming PooperRocker, I no longer require silly things like actually getting up to get my next meal or unload my next poop.

    The MLG Stomach Sleeve and Gaming PooperRocket has changed my life for the better. Now I can play all day, every day! And you can as well! Just call the number onscreen, and I'll see you online, fellow MLG player!

    4 Days?

    Hell, I get bored after about 2 hours playing any game.

    4 days of straight non stop playing is just insane for anyone to do. I don't see why kids can just get off the controller for a bit and relax. It's one thing to really enjoy a game, it's another to skip meals because of it. I have never done anything like that. The longest I ever played was when I got the last level of the DOTM game. But, I took care of all my chores before doing so and I ate dinner too.

    I think the longest I ever played was 14 hours with a friend when we first played Halo 3, my eyes felt like they were on fire by the end of it, how the hell did this kid manage 4 days??

    We need to have a social worker position that entails just slapping the shit out of these kinds of parents

    I used to feel like I had a problem when I pulled 12 hour sessions. Guess not. Problem solved.

    Bad parenting is definitely partially to blame, but the kid's obviously pretty stupid too.

    Yeah. I tend to start feeling kinda crappy after just an hour of gaming.

    its not the video game industry's fault, its the parents fault for not being parents.

    You know, the longest consecutive gaming session I had is when I first got Advance Wars 2. I was so addicted to the game that I played for twelve hours straight, and I couldn't stand up afterwards. I had to take a day off school as a result. Playing for forty hours would no doubt have finished me off.

    Man, my parents would never let me play for 4 hours, let alone 4 days.

    How the hell did he and the Xbox survive through that?

    Seriously. I just got WFC, and I only play for maybe 2 hours before taking a break.
