24 hours is nothing.. well actually, if you play with no breaks, on one game for 24hrs, maybe. but i usually dont play games. i usually hang in IRC, psxfanatics, or ngemu, on occation ill stop by zsnes's boards.

sometimes my games go on for 2 days and 3 hours
sometimes I get bored and come here to take a break...

Usually when I play a game I will do a section or dungeon in an RPG then take a break for a while. Like now, I just finished Fanatics Tower in FFVI and am taking a break to go to bed.

Despite popular assumption, there has been no widely accepted evidence for permanent damage or behavioural disruption caused by video games or television violence.

A 2001 study by Ryuta Kawashima at Tohoku University in Japan claimed to have shown that the frontal lobes are not stimulated during computer game playing.

But it was widely dismissed by scientists after he claimed the lack of stimulation could potentially stunt brain development and affect people's ability to control their behaviour. The researcher found no direct evidence for lasting damage.

Gaming is not the cause , the cause is fatigue.
