How do you get through long gaming periods?

Hi, my name is MrDerrikk, and I'm an ESO addict.

In order to get through the arduous, grilling, extended periods of ESO that I seem to partake in on weekends and after work, I make use of the following things:

How about you ladies and gents? How do you pass the time whilst grinding through your last few VR ranks, starting a new alt or just playing through for the first time?
I have departed into the great unknown that is outside the game and the forums, and wish you well in your Tamriel adventures!

    I pass the time by attacking anything that has a heartbeat and glows red. :naughty:

    Then I reach for an ice cold Coke Zero. *psst-TAAAAA oh yeah. Now that hit the spot.

    When I feel burned out, I turn off the game and try to save a few zombie pigmen.

    Get up, walk around, clean house up a bit, wash face, etc. anything to keep the blood moving. Try to break every hour or so.

    Lots of water, Coke Zero, snus and a high quality office chair. Sometimes music. Mostly Amaranthe (the newest album is amazing), Disturbed and the kind, but got pretty much all genres in my playlist.

    It's also good to eat at least once every 12 hours, right?

    I have been going through Disturbed recently as well, just put up Avenged Sevenfold as that's still my most-listened album for ESO to date.

    I also have a $30 chair that's slowly dying from me leaning on the back, so I'm a bit jealous.

    I'm really bad with names, so I thought I'd never heard of Avenged Sevenfold. Listened to some of their songs and I've definitely heard many of them before. Good stuff! Definitely gonna get their discography and add the best bits in my gaming playlist. Thanks! :)

    Coffee and weed, with the odd sandwich or baked beans on toast. I tried red bull for a while but it gives me vicious come-downs. No music, I like to pick up audio cues such as the snipe arrow travelling through the air, or the stealthed enemy switching weapons next to me.

    Ryvita and noodles aren't that weird, at least not individually. I wouldn't choose to eat them together but there's no reason why you can't.

    Well...I'm sure I speak for most of the rest of us addicts that I could easily go two days straight with enough coffee, food and other people. Had some pretty extreme LAN parties like that.

    I work a full-time job 5 days a week and still get in 3-4 hours a day.

    It helps to be a single loner mostly; more game time for me!

    Coke Zero is nasty though, and this is coming from a guy that stands by Coca-Cola.

    Hey,

    I am dont need breaks, i need more time to a day.. .

    24hours is just not enough to do all i need to do in game,

    Having a GF doesn't help either coz she wants to spend time with me,
    Like really.... WTF!!!

    Wish she was also addicted to ESO..

    Cellphones are amazing things, i can call the pizza joint and get a pizza delivered without moving from the game...

    Send the GF to fetch the pizza at the gate while i Quickly complete the next quest, and the next, and the next,
    oooh dear pizza is cold,
    NO Probs just nuke it in the microwave,

    Gotta love technology, it makes gaming soooooo easy. lol

    I don't eat or drink, only casuals eat and drink. I usually put on some music, but ESO has a good soundtrack so I don't need to. If I'm waiting for a spawn then I just /lute and try and sing along to them in a half-hearted way.

    (1) Turn all the lights off.

    (2) Wear favorite jeans or sweats with a concert t-shirt or my new (and favorite) Dark Souls "YOU DIED" t-shirt.

    (3) No food. Eat first; play later.

    (4) Bose over-the-ear headphones. But no outside music. I even turn the in-game soundtrack down rather low. I like to listen to the dialogue.

    (5) A really good pale ale. Or a porter. Or, maybe, an Imperial stout. But lately it's been pale ales.

    Enjoy - and smile when people call you a casual.

    War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

    The heroes during times of war, are nothing but mass murderers during times of peace.
