Some people go a bit overboard when a game they are really looking forward to releases. Back in the day I would usually hard core it over a weekend and finish most rpgs etc. Maaaybe if it was a really big game I was waiting for I'd even take a day off so I could have more time.

100 hours in a week really isn't that much, you can almost do it while working full time if your young enough to get by on very little sleep the whole time. Work 8 hours, play 12 hours, sleep 4 hours (eat while playing etc, 5 min shower and that is it). 12 hours over 7 days is 84 total. If you took 1 day off work, that would bring you to 92 (or it was a 3 day weekend). 2 days, or you work part time and 100 hours is pretty easy (or you sleep less than 4 hours a few days heh.

Real hard core is someone who doesn't work, or takes the whole week off, sleeps 2 hours a day and hits 140 hours in game (if it even takes that long to max).

There are people who play text based MMO's called muds, that not only have played over 12 hours a day for a week, a month, but on average that much over years (all the way back to the 90's). Check out a mud called 3 kingdoms and look at the nolife list. It lists the amount people have played over the last 2 weeks. I once topped that list for a year straight (Averaged 14 1/2 hours a day for a year), back before I got married lol. Stopped cold turkey after that as I realized I was wasting my life.
