sometimes on hulu I'll watch an entire series in one day

This troper is not usually an Archive Binger. However, I did read the entirety of Angel Densetsu in one day and 20th Century Boys in 9 days.

This troper did this with Grim Tales From Down Below after stumbling upon it in the depths of a random web search for...wait a minute, didn't I find it here? Hard to remember. Anywho, I pretty much couldn't stop till I was finished. I also archive binge on pretty much anything that suits my weird interests for a certain period of time. From animals of every sort to [=UFOs=] and the paranormal to silly webcomics to TV tropes. This place will EAT YOUR SOUL! In a good way of course.

This Troper has binged in 1 summer: Justice League Unlimited, BuffyTheVampireSlayer, {{Series/Heroes}}, {{Angel}}, {{Sliders}}, the first season of {{Dollhouse}} (dammit Season 2, get on instant stream!), the first 4 seasons of {{Bones}} and a few other things, not counting webcomics and web videos.

Batman the Animated Serieswas a large, nonstop, binge for me.

This troper too, but not content with just BTAS, I sailed through the entire DCAU during a single summer. (And that was after already spending a summer two years before doing a binge of just JusticeLeague and JusticeLeagueUnlimited.)

Why, why must I get into an archive binge during Swot vac? I have an exam in a few days, I can't read Yet Another Fanstasy Gamer Comic!

This troper has an impressive history of archive binging. Here are the summer of 2009 examples with time length: # BuffyTheVampireSlayer - 2 months # {{Angel}} - same 2 months # SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal - one week # ItsWalky - one week # {{Shortpacked}} - same week # {{Naruto}} (manga) - 3 months # OnePiece (manga) - the entirety of summer # JusticeLeague and JLU - 3 weeks # CodeGeass - 3 days. Then two months later he rewatched it in another 3 days. # YuGiOh!Abridged - I'm proud of this one because I watched all 42 (the number there were at that point in time) in one night.

{{Chowder}} - Kept hearing about it, decided to watch few episodes on TV, and more on YouTube (before they were taken down) just to see what the fuss is all about. Within few days ended up downloading $40 worth of episodes off iTunes. Seriously, it's probably the best thing Cartoon Network is airing (and I'm including Adult Swim, too). I eventually saw all the episodes that aired at least once.

Series/DoctorWho. Original series. Seven months. Actually mostly read the scripts on many a LostEpisode. First Doctor was a bad ass. Series self-aware of the screaming girlie trope as early as the first five seasons. Pertwee is kind of annoying. Dammit Jo, you're as dumb as a sack of bricks. Fourth Doctor best, hands down, from scene one. Hammy? Eh, not that much, not even later. Sarah Jane is supposed to be ''more'' than a screaming girlie?! Did anyone actually ''watch'' this?! Fifth Doctor is whiny. Sixth Doctor actually a refreshing breath of air, except for Main/EightiesHair. Last two seasons = refuge in artsy-fartsism. Series mercy-killed. Electric Pantomime Horse of Doom rules [=OK=].

This Troper has eleven unseen Classic Doctor Who [=DVD=]s sitting in front of his tv and refuses to watch more than one a night. What, you want it to end???

This troper thought the Fifth Doctor was the best of all Ten Doctors.

Why hasn't anyone made an Abridged Series? There is so much material it's ridiculous!

Actually got some nice funny notes down, but the video editing bit is way above my head (plus I can only do like 3 voices). Yeah, needs an abridged series like fish need water.

''Doctor Who: The Abridged Series''? Interesting idea... Unfortunately, the "Abridged Series" concept is best suited to animated series, particularly anime but WesternAnimation is still feasible. It probably wouldn't work with a live action show because it would be harder to get the mouth movements to line up right.

Actually, there ''is'' a Doctor Who Abridged. It's on YouTube. It's fairly good, even if the mouth movements don't line up right.

Seven months??? This troper managed a full binge of all Doctor Who videos available back in 1998 (there's relatively only been a few more releases since then), in TWO months. He was spouting Who-related quotes and repeatedly tried to travel through time in a postbox all through college, due to mild brain scramblage.

Am now starting Day Three of my CRFH!!! binge.

Just finished one, and am thinking of doing it again.

I hate to complain or whatever, but what the hell is CRFH?

CollegeRoomiesFromHell!!!

This troper actually lost 24 hours on discovering ''GirlGenius''.

So did this troper. Now she has it on RSS Feed on Livejournal.

This troper had two days to cram for finals. Now she has one, but she's up to speed on ''GirlGenius''.

This troper actually faked sickness so she could skip school and finish reading ''GirlGenius''' archives.

This troper just got back from spending two or three days of off-and-on binging. The fact she caught up both surprised her and made her sad, as now she has to wait... well, on to ''EightBitTheatre'', then ''OrderOfTheStick''.

And this troper went on periodic binges of the 101 beginner's section because he found out that they posted several months of comics ahead of time all at once and that you could fish out the urls.

Some of us also do this with blogs written by people we have recently met.

Or while playing catch up on lj flist after a prolonged absence due to internet failure, vacation, computer malfunction and real life as whole interfering.

Or with podcasts. And it may take a lot longer to get through an archive of those.

This troper knows the feeling, as he goes on an archive binge for any weekly podcast he downloads. He's in the middle of a four-podcast backlog (Giant Bombcast, Gamers With Jobs, EGM Live* , and the Player One Podcast)

This Troper (I know its cliched saying that, but whatever) listened to the 30 Ricky Gervais Show Podcasts, then discovered the 50+ hours of audio over at Pilkipedia. Also done with SModcasts.

Some do this with [=DVD=]s of a TV show: usually we'd only be able to watch one episode a day/week, but you keep saying 'just one more', then it's four o'clock in the morning and you have a splitting headache.

This troper ended up skipping two days of High School just to finish watching ''FullMetalAlchemist''. And just to demonstrate that she didn't learn her lesson, she skipped University to watch'' SamuraiChamploo''.

This troper watched the entire run of ''ArrestedDevelopment'' and the database apparently ate half of what said troper posted so this completely different troper felt compelled to finish the statement before adding his own Troper Tale. Otherwise the page would look funny.

''Friends''. Fricking ''Friends'' Box Collection.

Speaking of this troper, he finds the ArchiveBinge to be the best part of any webcomic.

This troper tried, but most of the way through I realized half the pages had been changed, a third were new, and about 75% of the examples had been recently added. Sheesh.

I'm here with the rest of you!

This troper is here on a binge of Troper Tales ''right now''.

Same here.

A-yup.

Me too. 'Tis the trope that keeps on giving.

Indeed

This troper read the entirety of KidRadd in two. Fracking. Days.

Same.

This troper managed it in one night.

This troper needed just 4-5 hours.

Might've been three days for me, I'm not sure.

Add another two-day reader to the list (and appropriately enough, I finished at 3 AM).

Took me a full night. As in, I started at about 9:30 PM and plowed straight through to 5 AM the next day without a wink of sleep. It's just ''that addictive.''

This troper read the entirety of PennyArcade in two days. Last week, in fact. Not much else was achieved.

Three for me

This troper once read all of SluggyFreelance in one day. This was back in 2001.

This troper tried to read all of SluggyFreelance in one day in 2008. He failed. It really is that long.

This troper read the entire thing in June 2006 (Wayang Kulit was the latest, a friend linked me to the Shadow Colossus whihc got me interested- ''Dear god my arms are being ripped from their sockets!'') It took a week, including a few hours contemplating the 'That Which Redeems' arc...

''{{Order of the Stick}}'' consumed this troper's life for several days when she discovered it a few months ago.

Day and a half for me... although i'm a freak and only got up to use the bathroom.

Took me three days

Five days here. Best five days of this troper's life.

Yeah, the internet never brought me so much joy in the world as it did when I first binged on Order of the Stick. And it was still good the third time around. Then I just bought the books, and binged on them too. BUt the first time...hell of a week, man, hell of a week.

Took me on and off for about three weeks. I couldve read them all in about two or three days at home though.

This reviewer has gone on an archive binge with MacHall at least 3 different times in his life.

''{{Applegeeks}}'' and ''{{Megatokyo}}'' have done so for this troper... MANY MANY TIMES!

This Troper had an addiction to 8-bit Theater. Read the whole thing in two days.

Really? This Troper started reading it as a "summer project" (Thank you very much, TVTropes). He still hasn't caught up in it. (Finally finished today!)

It took me around a month.

It took me a week of reading to complete PvP's archives, and that was ''just'' reading, not doing anything else important that I should have been doing. I also powered through KidRadd and ''{{Concerned}}'', but to be fair ''Concerned'' isn't very long.

This troper has done it many times on the Zeldapedia. This may have something to do with why she's been made an admin.

This troper tends to do it with everything, but not constantly for X days so much as dividing her time between the latest ArchiveBinge and whatever other stuff she has in her multitasking lineup at the time.

This troper may have you all beat. Back when he was still fairly new to the net, a scant year ago, he stumbled across a site that listed quite literally hundreds of webcomics. And he spent every iota of his free time over the next four months reading through them-and, though, with many, he stopped after the first strip, there were enough that, even to this day, checking up on all the webcomics he follows (roughly fifty) takes a couple of days. What is this thing you call "a life"?

I have 62 but granted these were gained through the course of five years (most within 6 months though)

This troper was limited to reading mangas whenever they showed up at Borders. Thus, when I discovered One-Manga, an entire summer was lost - about a month and a half ''alone'' was devoted to discovering OnePiece, the rest to catching up with {{Naruto}}, FullMetalAlchemist, and InuYasha. Then, I discovered MST3K episodes on YouTube... and later still I discovered this site, and through this site I discovered GirlGenius and RiceBoy....

Non-comic-based archive binging: this site, Encyclopedia Dramatica, various picture/story threads from SomethingAwful.

My friends and roommates have played catch-up with DeathNote, {{CSI}}, both StarGate series, and BattleStarGalactica.

This troper has done it with Buffy, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Nana, [=McGyver=], NCIS, Babylon 5, Gintama, Naruto, Gilmore Girls, Without a Trace, Cold Case, and is planning on binging on a few more.

My ''parents'' have done this with the ''Shogun'' and ''Oshin'' series (the latter on about a dozen VHS tapes, no less). Perhaps this whole "discovering something really cool really late" thing is genetic?

Similarly, I spent high school watching Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis episodes by myself. Soon as I leave the house for University, my family goes Archive Binging, watching and buying the season [=DVD=]s and watching every single Stargate SG-1 episode (10 seasons!) over the course of two months.

Toook me (@/SkarmoryThePG) all July and August of '07 to dig through the Jargon File.

This Troper read "Narbonic" in it's entirety in ONE sitting.

This troper loves her archive binging with webcomics. I like stories and they are much more easy to comprehend when they're finished. Plus, then I don't have to wait to read what happens next. I have archive binged {{Megatokyo}} and ElGoonishShive twice and OrderOfTheStick once, considering to do it again if I don't find anything new soon.

I, Marc3K, tend to binge on a TV show whenever I buy a season boxset, or when I rent one (here in Italy it was possible for a brief while to rent TV show boxset at [=BlockBuster=]), or sometimes when I download episodes without watching them for a while or a season during the pause. Some of my victims? ''DirtySexyMoney'', ''DeadLikeMe'', ''BrothersAndSisters'', ''SixFeetUnder'', ''{{Chuck}}'', ''{{Scrubs}}'', ''{{The4400}}'', ''TheGlades'', ''{{Supernatural}}'', ''MysteryScienceTheater3000'', ''TwinPeaks'', ''DarkBlue'', ''PrivatePractice'', ''{{Rubicon}}''. But the best example must be my watching of ''the whole of ''TheTwilightZone'' season 1'' in ''two days'', due to the fact that I had rented it and had to return it two days after I had rented it. I have binged also on webcomics (''AdamAndAndy'', ''FinnAndCharlieGetHitched'', ''DamagedTape'', ''GodsPlayingPoker'').

{{Megatokyo}} distracted me quite handily from a paper I had to write. As for OneManga...let's just say it cut into my social life and leave it at that.

Whenever this troper discovers a new webcomic, she sits down and reads every single comic. Even for things like PennyArcade and KevinAndKell.

This troper read TheLastDaysOfFoxhound straight through. It would have been in one sitting except for having to pause to go to class. He's also read OrderOfTheStick and IrregularWebcomic in similar binges. More than once.

I read TheLastDaysOfFoxhound in one sitting too.

Two, maybe three sittings for This Troper. And I was so close to making Big Boss too...

I spent 3 days reading that (it only took that long because we have dial-up, so I use the internet when everyone's asleep).

Damn you, TV Tropes for introducing this editor to OneManga. I don't even know where to start, let alone when I will finish...

This Troper spent the entire second half of her summer before college binging on various manga: parts of ({{Gintama}} and {{Gokusen}}, and the entire run of TsubasaReservoirChronicle, xxxHOLiC, and {{Claymore}}, and now in her freshman year of college, despite working for her scholarship and holding down a work-study job at the library, she manages to binge regularly on the weekends and has caught up on MidnightSecretary and VampireKnight and is working very hard TO THE EXTREME on KatekyoHitmanReborn and HighSchoolDebut and probably a half a dozen other series she's forgotten.

This troper did this with Homestar Runner at around email # 127. He doubts he'd never manage it if he'd tried it now.

This troper does in fact believe that TV Tropes itself has sucked up many afternoons. Goodbye, afternoons.

This troper has done it with several livejournal communities, especially during the fic hunt that follows the acquisition of a new fandom.

This troper first decided to buy and watch Battlestar Galactica during his freshman year finals week. As a result, he spent three days watching five hours of BSG a night, then dozing off for five hours, then taking finals, then going home to lather,rinse, and repeat. As a direct result of this, I was unable to curse without using "frak" for two years, and when startled I have been known to use "Oh my gods" or "By the Lords of Kobol...". Thankfully, a really good memory retention rate lets me do well on most tests without studying, or I would have been really screwed...

IMDb. Damn those bastards. And now this tropers new drug of choice, ThatOtherWiki.

One day, 2 webcomics - OrderOfTheStick and Last Days of Foxhound in a single day from the beginning. And then the entirety of the latest (currently at 20 pages) Dr. McNinja arc.

I watched all but vol. 2 of AvatarTheLastAirbender Book 1 in one day, and then I did the same thing with Book 2 another day (though had to skip vol. 3). Then I did it ''again'' with Book 3, but vol. 4 hadn't come in at the library yet so... Avatar is so obviously visual crack.

Though I've also done that with ''XMenEvolution'' and the first two seasons of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', so maybe it's just me...

''XMenEvolution'' is not just you. This troper got through the entirety of it in 4 days.

This site. Oh so very very much. Also, when this troper discovered MerylStreep, she spent five or six hours a day for a week straight watching interview footage on YouTube. And that doesn't even begin to cover the amount of time she'll have to spend watching all of her ''movies''. She's planning a sleepover with one of her best friends (a longtime Meryl fan) to go see ''Doubt'' around noon and then spend the next ''twenty-four hours or so'' watching Meryl movies. Wheeeee!!!!

Also referred to as Box Set Fever, or in this Troper's case, "The Weekend". A notable instance was going from being a complete ''{{Supernatural}}'' newbie to having seen the whole lot in 7 days (while still managing to have a life during the day - yep, required a lot of caffeine).

Same. Only it was during a summer session, and the Spanish grade took a hit during those late-night viewings.

This troper found it online and told a friend about it midway through season 4. He'd caught up within a week. ''The semester before his MCAT''.

This troper enjoys collecting old, unlicensed anime via torrents, so he can marathon them. Also, he plays lots of those old great games.

This Troper is actually doing this with the TV Tropes website.

And SailorMoon.

And RozenMaiden.

And ''Perry Bible Fellowship''.

When this troper first found the Main/ArchiveBinge page, it had a line saying "Don't try this with [webcomic X, Y, and Z]. But go ahead with IrregularWebcomic!" I fell for it so hard. Totally worth it, though.

This troper's first archive binge was right after he discovered webcomics, when Bill Amend linked to RealLifeComics after they both did similar strips about the Spider-Man film. A coupla months later, he discovered {{Megatokyo}}. Then MacHall. A few others, and most recently Subnormaility. And by "recently", he means ''twenty minutes ago''. Since he doesn't pirate, he has a fairly large list of books, movies, and anime he plans to peruse when he eventually goes to the States for school.

''Every'' webcomic This troper has ''ever'' read, minus Penny Arcade (though I think I still have their last comic I read, in the archive, stored somewhere). This is particularly bad for comics that have a lot of strips. I lost a weekend to both SomethingPositive and IrregularWebcomic.

This troper had this experience over a period of three days, (RuleOfThree you know? ;) ) when I first read through ElGoonishShive.

I am now on hour four of Main/CtrlAltDel and just passing through March '03. Wish me luck!

Now on hour 5 1/2, up to about April '06. Reeeeeeally wondering what Scott is up to behind his electric door.

So is this troper, and he is now current. That Saturday afternoon was doomed after the first ninja.

Finished up to about a month ago in one night a while back.

Thanks to the internets, this little troper has used up months of their life on everything from Crunchyroll to OneManga to various webcomics to even this very site.

This troper, thankfully, is a speed reader, so it's kind of subverted... he got through the entire EGS archive in an evening, ''TheWotch'' in less than a day, ''VenusEnvy'' in two days, and ''Misfile'' in another two. Then again, it took him a week to get through Not Always Right...

This troper did this with Buffy. She actually watched Angel in syndication on TNT, taping it because it was on at 4 and 5 A.M. and by the time she got to "I Will Remember You" I was so hooked I cried when the VCR didn't work and almost went into a coma when it broke and I missed half of season 4. I got the Buffy [=DVDs=] on the strength of Angel, having never seen a solitary episode of Buffy, and literally watched all 144 episodes in about three weeks. (It would've been faster, but I had to go to school, dammit.) I stayed up a whole entire night and watched almost all of season 2, then did the same with season six. When I got the Angel [=DVD=]s, I did the same thing, except much faster because it was the summer. And I have done this with every single Star Trek Series, and Babylon 5. My mom asks me why I want to watch it all so fast, and my answer is: A good show (or book series) is like a really delicious meal: you want it to last so you can savor it, but at the same time you want to eat it as fast as you can so you can find what the last bite tastes like. I have a list of shows I want to get pretty much solely for the purpose of doing this: these include Supernatural (I only learned about it and got into it halfway through season 3, so I totally want to get the first two,) Alias (I had just got into it on TNT when they stopped showing it,) and Torchwood (just got the BBC America, so I've never actually seen it but I really want to). I've also done this with book series: whenever I read ASongOfIceAndFire (which I have way more than is healthy) I read it straight through, and being an exceptionally fast reader, I can do this with HarryPotter in about two weeks (assuming I don't read nonstop, of course.) Some books are so good you wish you could do this, but alas, it is a relatively new series, so there aren't that many- the beyond awesome HouseOfNight novels come to mind. I've also done literal Archive Overdosing on Go Fug Yourself (a hilarious website that rips bad celebrity outfits with great wit) and Dressaday.com (a generally awesome blog about, well dresses as well as this very website.

''DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'', 8 Bit Theatre, Sluggy Freelance. Where the hell did this facial hair come from?

This troper considers the Archive Binge an integral part of discovering a new webcomic... Sinfest, Mac Hall, Order of the Stick, KevinAndKell, xkcd, Ozy and Millie, Penny Arcade, Last Days of Foxhound, The Cobra Days, Awkward Zombie, Professor Ashfield, The Scout Report... she's even been known to archive binge series that are already over (the aforementioned [=LDoF=], as well as Road Waffles (series 1, dammit), Equinox: Defender of the Horde, and Dirk Crimson). Still have to get around to 8-Bit Theater and Looking For Group, though. And catch up on PvP and Megatokyo. It suddenly occurs to this troper that she may in fact read far too many webcomics. Oh, and TV Tropes itself, naturally. And Homestar Runner. And a couple of blogs, such as Covering the Mouse and John Kricfalusi's... Huh. Hi, my name is xyzzy, and I'm an archiveholic...

Same here. Binges have included KevinAndKell, UserFriendly, GeneralProtectionFault, {{Freefall}}, {{Unshelved}}, ElGoonishShive and WapsiSquare (the latter three discovered via this wiki). I also routinely get sucked into multi-hour time sinks of rampant proliferation of tabs here, on TheOtherWiki, on TheOnion, and even Cracked. I've also done binges on various book series I like and my husband and I spent part of the weekend on a ''ThePrisoner'' binge, having just acquired the series on [=DVD=]. I've also completed all the puzzles in the Samurai Sudoku archive. I also will repeat an archive binge occasionally (most of the above-listed webcomics I've done at least twice, and the StephaniePlum and IncarnationsOfImmortality book series at least three times). (In the case of Incarnations, I do tend to skip ''Wielding a Red Sword'', on the grounds of utter loathing for that book's protagonist, Mym/Mars.) And just finished binging two blogs: Cake Wrecks and Passive-Aggressive Notes. Both are quite funny.

Ditto that! Archive binging is the best way to discover new webcomics... She also bows to Xyzzy's binging awesome.

This troper considers the Archive Binge a sacred activity and test, required before regularly following a webcomic. So far, he has binged: XKCD, Dueling Analogues, 8 Bit Theatre, ''DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'', Cyanide and Happyness, Starslip Crisis, Chainsawsuit, F Chords, Daisy Owl, CVRPG, CtrlAltDel, Nerf Now, Awkward Zombie, Lackadaisy, 2P Start, Sluggy Freelance (and my gods it took a while), Suicide For Hire, Fanboys, Slackerz, Looking For Group, Horribleville, The Adventures of Dr. McNinja, VG Cats, Freefall, and Dracula, along with 1/0, The last days of Foxhound, The DM of The Rings, as well as every single issue of the Dragonball manga, as well all the anime, from the original series all the way to the craptacular GT, not to mention all the movies, the Deltora Quest series, Redwall, Diskworld, Dragonlance, Assasins Apprentance, plays the Zelda and Mario series sequentially every time there's a new game, not to mention the Starfox series, and there's probably more that I can't think of off the top of my head. I've also started binging several webcomics, only to stop due to unacceptable levels of suck. And I am looking for MORE. God have mercy. (I think I win.)

This troper's personal record is all of Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu in one night. He couldn't sleep. He has also read through the whole Discworld series straight through four (4) times and Wheel of Time three (3) times. He is currently reading through all of the tropes on TVTropes. He has no life.

LET'S SEE! Archive Binges with... TVTropes, of course, Naruto, Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist, Hunter x Hunter, Shaman King, Applegeeks, CAD, MegaTokyo, Real Life, 8-Bit Theater, xkcd, Penny Arcade, OrderOfTheStick, QC, EGS, Erfworld, Striptease, Sore Thumbs, Penny & Aggie, DM of the Rings, Girl Genius, Gunnerkrigg Court, Better Days, Sinfest, Misfile, SGVY and a few others. Not to mention the marathon reading sessions when I got hold of the latest Harry Potter book. ^_^

Ok, this is gonna be long... Well, let's see... OrderOfTheStick (at least 3 times now), this wiki, leading me to binge (not in order) Nanoha (all of it, each at least 3 times), Naruto and Bleach (anime and manga each), Negima manga (4 times till now), Stellvia, Mai-hime/Mai-otome and all sequels (only anime), Avatar, Kim Possible, X-men Evolution and Whateley so far... As of webcomics aside from OrderOfTheStick: Questionable Content, Gunnerkrigg (3x), Girl Genius (2x), 8-bit, EGS (3x), Drowtales (4x). Before that, I always binged any game I could find, which among others includes Super Mario (the original one) to Super Mario 64 at least 2 each, Super Mario World alone is at least 5 times 100% complete ..., Final Fantasy 6,7,8,10,12 at least twice, 9 should be something around 5 times by now, Breath of Fire 3/4 at least thrice, Baldurs Gate (yes the whole thing) twice, bg 2+ addon alone 4 extra times at least, [=KotOR=] 1/2 around 5 times each and don't even get me started on RTS games like Heroes of Might and Magic 3/4, where a single binge easily lasts a week, and including everything I binged only once after completing it, this list would be far far longer...

Ones I have successfully completed include SomethingPositive, 9th Elsewhere, {{Neko the Kitty}}, {{Secret of Mana Theater}}, VGCats... Still trying to remember where I left off with 8-Bit Theater...

Just finished up with UGMadness, and in only five hours! With a dash of another trope to boot!

In a rare non-internet example, this troper spent three weeks playing Metal Gear Solid 1-3 so he could play 4 (before he got a PS3 might I add)

This troper has a good friend that collects tv shows and anime on external hard drives and watches them on his computer. When this troper got his latop, his friend allowed him to go through and take whatever he wanted. As a result, this troper has now watched all of House, Lost, Heroes, Fullmetal Alchemist, three different Gundam Series, and Weeds, and is currently working on his fourth run through of Avatar, all within the past four months. He also has been on something of a webcomic binge, having read through all of El Goonish Shive, Dominic Deegan, and Girl Genius within the past two weeks. He seems to have traded the webcomics for fanfiction, however, as the discovery of the Fanficrecs pages on this very site have caused him to read at least 500,000 words in the past week. Obssessed? It's highly likely.

This troper has done this with many things: Order of the Stick, xkcd, Awkward Zombie, Fanboys, Exterminatus Now, multiple Livejournal comms, Transformers Animated (whoever made YouTube wins at the Internet), Harry Potter 5 (less than 24 hours, helped by me staying up a few hours after the midnight release), and Harry Potter 7 (just under twelve hours, and I only stayed up till 3 before getting some sleep, waking up, and getting back into it! Of course, I speed-read, so...). And, of course, TV Tropes itself. Thank god for tabs.

I managed all of Exterminatus Now in two days. Along with Awkward Zombie in one, and Brawl in the Family in four days.

This Troper heartily recommends bingeing on Something Positive. I do it occasionally just for the hell of it.

This Troper had a great time watching almost every episode of Bleach - from episode 60 to episode 184 - on Youtube since YTV took too long with the English Dub. When he made it to the current arc? He began to watch the English Dub Episodes that were being released, along with the new ones on Youtube. And still is. This Troper actually has a history of Archive Binging, also doing so with The Other Wiki, The Star Trek Wiki, a Zelda Wiki, The Bleach Wiki, VG Cats, Slackerz, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (the anime), and even with certain Book series he finds at the Library, Like Fearless. The downside is that he never seems to get any work done...

Every good webcomic or TV series I come across. I have over 25 webcomics, including a few that I had the good fortune of encountering after completion (so I could see the whole story), and avoid watching shows on TV because they're easier to follow after all the episodes have been released and they can be watched directly one after another.

My two worst Archive Binges were SchlockMercenary and IrregularWebcomic. That's something of the order of 4000 strips. Each took me a week or so. GirlGenius is almost as bad. Worse, because I'm sorely tempted to go back and do it all over again...

This troper was linked to a site that mocked David Gontermann MST3K-style, where one of the mockers was Shinichi from DetectiveConan. She then decided to check out Detective Conan, not realizing it was 670 chapters long. She also decided to catch up on Bleach, and check out new webcomics while she was at it. She has not done her homework at home for at least two weeks.

Currently binging on PearlsBeforeSwine. In spite of heavy consumption, I am not overdosing. I have also been abusing Garfield for several years (the older strips).

This troper tends to binge upon whatever webcomic he just discovered. So far he has binged on OrderOfTheStick, Penny Arcade, 8-bit Theatre, Questionable Content, DM of the Rings, Darths & Droids, Goblins, xkcd, Something Positive, Awkward Zombie, Perry Bible Fellowship, Something Positive, Elf Only Inn, and Loserz. Oh, and when he browses TV Tropes his browse often turns into a binge.

This troper intended to reread the first six HarryPotter books in the three weeks leading up to July 21, 2007, only to realize she hadn't left enough time to finish ''Order of the Phoenix'' before the movie came out. (She ended up finishing the book a few hours before going to see the movie.) And when she discovered Series/DoctorWho, she went through the first and second seasons on DVD ("Barty Crouch!?") in about a month... while following the fourth series as it aired on SciFi ''and'' forcing several friends to watch the new series from the beginning. Talk about confusing.

This troper works at a library, making archive binges of graphic novels a relative snap. This was how she plowed through Vols 1-7 of Girl Genius without wearing out her clicker finger.

This troper does an Archive Binge before favoriting/bookmarking any webcomic, and will run ''another'' archive binge whenever a good comic gets dull for much more than a week, forgoing the new episodes until said archive binge is finished. Has favorited more than four dozen webcomics, more than half over six years old, has reread PVP 3 times, Penny Arcade twice, and most of Megatokyo 8 times (once for each book, and several to reread the comic from the beginning, ''with author rants.'') Never has fewer than one archive open in a browser tab or page, and currently is running an archive binge contest between RPG World, Dresden Codak, Misfile, Hellbound, Sinfest, Darths And Droids, El Goonish Shive, Alienm Dice, Shortpacked, Hellbound, and Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series. Cut down because of computer slowdown. (Misfile is winning, but has yet to realy get into EGS or DC). Archive Binges of manga also occur when running the gauntlet of this troper's favorite library's branches. The Archive Binge is pretty much this troper's life. Heck, this was found on an archive binge of the Troper Tales after finishing pretty much the entire WMG section.

This troper just stayed up until 3 a.m. reading through the entire archive of CtrlAltDel and needs to be talked out of buying all its relevant t-shirts.

Don't do it! You can clothe your form in other ways! Oh, God are we too late?

This troper is doing this as we speak for Tv Tropes itself.

Now I've done it twice for TV Tropes! And currently combing the TroperTales.

She also once watched all of Ouran High School Host Club in one day. Thankfully it was a day she stayed home from school.

She also did this with the entire Young Wizards series in one week.

is the only real reason this troper isn't doing this for ElGoonishShive. There are other problems, but most of them are only "problems" in that they exasorbate said archive panic.... Just discovered Yet Another Webcomic Reader via the TroperIRCChannel (thanks feep!), and am about to do EGS and SluggyFreelance binges, along with any other interesting things I see. Don't be surprised if I'm quieter than usual for a while.

Took this troper several months, usually one or two strips a day with the occasional burst of about 50-100 strips. Remember kids: Just because the archive's there does not mean you have to finish it all in one night.

Lies!

This troper has done it with almost every single webcomic he's ever read. For those counting, that number is 81. Yes, Eighty-one different (and now regularly checked) webcomics. And then he started watching anime...

I read all of THHGTTG in one day (and do it once a year, every year, on August 7th (yes, 8* 7. :D). I read Harry Potters 1-4 in two days and read all the other books in a day (or 24 hours, when you consider releases at 10 PM at night). I read three Discworld books a day until I had read 15 of them, and then slowed down and savored them. I archived binged both Misfile and Dr. [=McNinja=] in single (separate) nights, and XKCD in about a week (I didn't read as many of them, school was pretty heavy then). I haven't fully read Order of the Stick, but whenever I do go on there, I read about 60 comics in front of the current one before I stop. I archive binge this site. I archive binge forums with thousands of posts, although sometimes I leave after I get banned for necromancing a thread from six years ago. And it's fun!

Tropers/{{Korodzik}}: ''{{Concerned}}'' was my very first little sweet archive binge. Then came ''KevinAndKell'' and ''CtrlAltDel'' (these two I stopped liking long ago). Then ''OrderOfTheStick'', ''EightBitTheater'', and now I've just finished ''{{Freefall}}''. ...I'M FREE!!!

''HomestarRunner'', in its entirety. ''GunnerkriggCourt''. ''PennyArcade''. ''BrawlInTheFamily''. ''ProblemSleuth''. ''{{Homestuck}}''. ''TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja''. ''AxeCop'' (that one's short though.)

This troper with every single webcomic he reads or ever has read. There have been at least 150. Also happens with some youtube channels, etc. Is currently re-watching seasons 1 and 2 of ''Heroes'' on DVD with his mom as part of her archive binge on the series. Also is helping a friend archive binge through seasons 1 and 2 of ''Venture Bros'', and is trying to convince a couple other friends to archive binge through season 1 of ''Slings & Arrows'' since he's sure they'll love it. I've also archive binged on a lot of other things such as the entire comic book series ''Invincible'' up to the point I first picked it up (around issue 25 or 26), the first four ''Dark Tower'' books when 5 was published and the last two were announced, etc, etc.

This troper not only has Archive Binged with every webcomic he's encountered, but also every blog, and he makes a point of being on at least one such binge ''at all times''. For a time he considered - in so many words - having {{Narbonic}} on ''perpetual'' ArchiveBinge.

Not mentioning those numerous webcomics this troper is currently reading, he's right in the middle of viewing DeceasedCrab's videos on YouTube.

This Troper once binged on the ''LordOfTheRings'' trilogy. Watched the ''extended'' versions of the first two films back to back...just prior to seeing the final film in the theater. 10 hours' worth of epic fantasy in one day left him mentally exhausted.

This troper discovered LordOfTheRings after the movies came out, but she's done the all-three-extendeds-in-one-day twice. By the end, ''everything'' was funny, as eleven hours of movie had taken their toll. And both times it pretty much scrambled her brains for the next two days.

My husband did that. I didn't pay much attention (probably too busy on this site (smile)), so I didn't suffer any damage.

This Troper loves to do binges of old TV shows on video/DVD; having managed, one after the after to binge on the following:- Doctor Who, Star Trek Voyager, Stargate, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Red Dwarf, Grange Hill, and Byker Grove (over a period of about 15 months or so), leaving him a slightly gibbering wreck.

this troper has been meaning to do an archive binge of {{Sinfest}} again for the first time in a few years. He started planning to archive binge it back in late September. It is nearly January.

This troper did this with The Last Days of Foxhound. Twice in a row, actually. She also binged on Ouran High School, the Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles manga, and BLEACH, and she once spent a whole day reading all of CardCaptorSakura. Oh, and right before the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows came out, she sped through all six books in about a week, and she's planning on rereading all of them next summer.

She did it again recently with VentureBros., and now she's binging on Toward the Terra. Oh, and she did it with JusticeLeagueUnlimited when she bought the DVD recently.

Did she mention that a few weeks ago, she spend an entire watching the Lord of the Rings? All three movies. 10 hours. It was awesome.

This troper had a ''{{Bully}}'' binge. Read every possible matter on the subject of the game (besides, obviously, gameplay guides -- want to stretch out the binge as long as possible) and binge on fic, secondary accounts, and general fangirling. Then, settle down to play the game straight through, as nonstop as possible, with a ferocity that rather frightened my parents. Then, they gave up and started watching me play as well...

This is the default response this troper has to liking anything that has existed for some time before she discovered it. Once done, this troper sometimes proceeds to go on a ''Fandom'' Archive Binge, looking for fanart and past forum discussions.

In the middle of ''QuestionableContent'' right now... man,that makes it hard to go out for coffee (of Doom or otherwise)

QC is so bad for this troper's university friends that if we could weaponize it, it'd be a viable device to make someone disappear for a few days. Seriously. As more and more of us read it, more and more other friends do so...and then we won't see them beyond at mealtimes and in class (and sometimes not even then) for a day or so while they read every single comic.

Google Reader is your friend there - place all of QC on one continuous webpage!

Services like Netflix carrying DVD sets of long-running series make this easier to do with television programs. My mother discovered CSI in its fifth season, and then found that [=DVDs=] of the series could be borrowed from Netflix. She proceeded to rent the entire series, from the beginning, one disc at a time. The "binge" aspect was greatly slowed by the terms of the service (especially the cheaper plans) but the principle applies.

This Troper lost 5 days of his life on Sinfest. 4 months later, he lost 5 more... Doing it ''again''

At some point this summer, this troper's laptop had to be sent in for repairs. In order to keep up with his Internet dealings, he hooked up a USB keyboard to his Wii and turned on the Internet Channel. It was around that time that he discovered this site. Next thing I knew, ''it was twenty-four hours later.''

This Troper has Archive Binged on several webcomics (QuestionableContent, Bardsworth, OrderOfTheStick, Something Postive, CAD, EGS, Girl Genius, Gunnerkrigg Court, Misfile, XKCD...), but the worst, by far was Melonpool. 1996 to 2005, with more or less regular updates (and then some). Read it in a day and a half. When I was forced to unload the dishes and speak to my family, I kept waiting for the punchline.

this troper Has done it with three web comics - {{Megatokyo}}, {{SequentialArt}} and {{Girl Genius}}. Time wasted ranged from two days (for Girl Genius) to two weeks (for Megatokyo). This Troper has also tried an archive binge on Onemanga, but gave up when he realized the futility of trying to catch up with One Piece.

You gave up on Onemanga? There's so many other shorter manga you can binge on there! ''AngelDensetsu'',''BambooBlade'' and BambooBladeB'',''MysteriousGirlfriendX'' and even the incomparable ''{{Pluto}}'' - each clocking in at a low-calorie 40 to 80-odd chapters.

This troper's INITIAL response to everything webcomic in origin is an ArchiveBinge. xkcd. OrderOfTheStick. Erfworld. EightBitTheatre, complete with spontaneous ocular inversions. {{Nodwick}}. Full Frontal Nerdity. DarthsAndDroids. LookingForGroup. The list goes on.

This troper is currently binging through Troper Tales. So yeah. She also does this with every webcomic she ever begins reading, usually completing them within two or three days. She figures that if it can't keep her entertained during hours of straight reading, why bother reading it?

I binged on Smallville back when it was just starting season 7. I had missed the other 6, and caught up to the season 7 pilot. 132 eps in two months. But I have a history of doing this. Example: I read (when there were only 4 of them) the current Harry Potter books in TWO DAYS!!

''GaijinSmash'', previously known as "I am a Japanese School Teacher. Once I started, I couldn't stop, and lost a weekend getting sucked into it. Admittedly I was tripping acid for at least half of that, but it's so good I probably would've done the same thing without it.

26 episodes of ''AzumangaDaioh'' in two days. 21 episodes of ''HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi'' in the same time. The first six episodes of ''TalesOfTheAbyss'' and ''{{Kuroshitsuji}}'' in an afternoon. The entire back archives of Claudia's Room until 4 AM the night before she had to take her politics final. The entirety of the igiari LiveJournal community in an eight-hour search for Manfred von Karma (this was in September 2007, before the boom in AceAttorney fic: it would take her a week now). Also, TVTropes, but, well, she's posting here so that's rather obvious.

Someone else other than this troper binges for Manfred von Karma on igiari?! It's nice knowing she's not alone..

This troper does this every so often, usually with heavily story-based comics like Schlock Mercenary or Order of the Stick. The most recent one, however, was Megatokyo, in one weekend. This, incidentally, was a Bad Idea, because he was already depressed from unemployment and something about so much Megatokyo at once felt like getting kicked while already down.

{{Scanlation}}s of ''all'' of ''MahouSenseiNegima'' available online. For free. So much MoeMoe and {{Fanservice}} my brain is melting.

*shakes troper's hand* Welcome!

Problem Sleuth...& a crush's blog (don't judge me!)...back-to-back.

Update: Now I'm on SCPFoundation (about a third of the way through the catalog; I've only dented the Foundation Tales) and DarthsAndDroids (start to current in under 2 days).

Kingdom Hospital. This troper got sidetracked in the middle of her archive binge about a year ago (don't remember what episode, but Frank had just found his head). She has also done something akin to this in her actual county archives, because of Obsessive Compulsive Research Disorder; she just can't stop!

This Troper is something of a glutton for punishment, it seems. ''ElGoonishShive'', ''QuestionableContent'', ''ControlAltDelete'', ''KidRadd'' (though when I started reading it it was still going), ''{{Shortpacked}}'', ''DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'', ''KhaosKomix'' (to a lesser extent, though did go through the archives twice to make sense of the plot)... Also, first reaction to Tv Tropes Wiki? '''Try to read it all'''.

@/AckSed did the whole of ''SchlockMercenary'' in two days. Whilst he was supposed to be studying. Hopefully,there won't be any more that'll add to my daily "check list" of 5 fora,16 webcomics and 9 manga.

Update:I failed somewhat. Now changed to 13 manga, 14 webcomics, [=BoingBoing=], Facebook, two LJ communities and 3 fora. '''BUT''' I discovered that several of the webcomics can be read through Google Reader. Now I read ''{{xkcd}}'', ''LookingForGroup'', ''QuestionableContent'', ''Schlock'', ''Footloose'', ''SkinHorse' and ''RealLifeComics'' all on the same page,and I get notified when ''Order of the Stick'' and ''{{Megatokyo}}'' updates. Joy!

After checking out a few random episodes of ''How I met your mother'', I watched every episode of season 1-3 in 8 days.

Whatever my obsession of the week is, you can bet that I'll be in the middle of an archive binge. Longest one so far was SailorMoon during the last few months of 2008...

I recently binged my way through the final Stargate Atlantis season and the ''Heroes'' "Villains" story arc; unlike most people I really enjoyed it. But those don't compare to my 2 months of watching Stargate SG-1 seasons 1 to 9.

This troper read through Planet Zebeth back when it was only 300 strips long, read another 200 about a year later, and sorta followed it around since then. It's now just over 1000 strips.

This troper is annoyed that he can't read too fast, as he is currently reading ''DinosaurComics'', ''EightBitTheatre'', and ''SluggyFreelance'', although he's forgotten to go on ''Eight Bit Theatre'' for a while.

This troper is practically the living embodiment of this trope. Harry Potter? Books 3, 1, 2, 5, and 4 in two days. In that order, while on a choir trip in which she had approximately two hours free until 8 or 9 at night. Book 6 and 7 both completed in one day much later. Avatar? All three seasons watched almost completely through (skipped three episodes) in four days. Supernatural? Due to having to read all the scripts as well (she has problems with watching horror, but still adores the series), it took her about a week and a half to watch most of the first three seasons and start on the fourth. Read all of Cleolinda's Twilight recaps in a day, spent several hours reading through all the Punch n' Pie comics, and did the same for the HeadTrip comics. Finished a book of A Song of Ice and Fire every Tuesday night for four weeks (Tuesday was the only day she got to go to the library then). Each book took her approximately 6-7 hours to finish, from around 9 p.m. to 3 or 4 a.m. She shudders to think of what will happen when she finally gives in and begins watching Buffy, as once she starts something, if she likes it, she literally cannot stop until she has read through/watched it ''all''. D: This is also disturbing her in relation to TV Tropes, because she is spending a huge amount of time on it, and there's just... too... much...

This troper has a friend who got through the ''entirety'' of TheOrderOfTheStick in 20 hours flat. Said friend also apparently only requires two hours of sleep per day. Good thing too, because she just introduced him to TV Tropes as well... As for actual personal ArchiveBinges, she's burned her way through OrderOfTheStick, ''Adventurers!'' LookingForGroup, and MSPaintAdventures, and is now starting on several manga series to boot.

This troper doesn't consider something worthy of being a fan of unless you can Archive Binge on it, whether it be webcomics (Gunnerkrigg Court, xkcd, QC or Something Positive), TV shows (Series/DoctorWho, MythBusters), or video games (so much Let's Play... so much)... not to mention TVTropes, which can regularly kill up to ten hours in one go!

I archive binged VGCats, almost every SailorMoon manga continuities (except the ones that are ''really'' hard to find for download and/or reading, like the extra stories, and 666 Satan manga. She wanted to archive binge TengenToppaGurrenLagann, but videos are acting wonky here. She wishes to archive binge Corrector Yui's manga (it only got ten volumes), but there aren't any for download! Also, it's not licensed here.

This troper just archive binged ZeroPunctuation. It turns out that an interesting side effect of it is that whenever I read anything now I imagine it being spoken aloud very fast in a British accent.

Like many others, I archive binge any webcomic that catches my eye for more than a minute. I knew I'd been doing this too much when I read through the 450-odd-strip backlog of ''Between Failures'' and thought "cool, it's nice to discover a comic when it's still young." About an hour later, I realized what I'd thought. ...Yeah.

This Troper has resisted Archive Binging on 8-Bit Theatre, resisted with '''All This Troper's Might'''. But one too many references from TvTropes has finally sent me over the edge... it's ''too late'', I can't stop myself!

When you put your phrases in CamelCase for emphasis,that's when you know it's too late. :-)

This troper has done it with ''several'' {{webcomic}}s he discovered through TV Tropes, including ''GunnerkriggCourt'', ''IrregularWebcomic'', ''{{Narbonic}}'', ''GirlGenius'' (which he had read bits of before, but ''re''discovered here) and ''QuestionableContent'' - there's a reason that Uncyclopedia's reference to TV Tropes includes the line "insert webcomic plug" - as well as with TV Tropes itself.

(Deep Breath) {{Misfile}}; DM of the Rings; Darths and Droids; Get Medieval; Gold Rider of Pern; - all of the above in one evening each - {{Lord of the Rings}} in five days, while at summer camp; 3 seasons of {{Buffy}} in 3 weeks, and I would've watched the rest in similar time if my parents hadn't started watching it with me, all 20 of so books of {{Dragonriders of Pern}} in a month or two (complicated by having to find copies), plus its rare that I take more than one sitting to read a book, and I reread constantly.

This troper likes to do it with the TroperTales pages. Meta...

OneOverZero. Four or five hours on a Sunday when I ''really'' should have been doing homework. But it was a CrowningMomentOfAwesome comic for ''sure''.

Hmmmm lets see... MahouSenseiNegima manga (3 times, 4th in progress), {{Bleach}} (3), ToLoveRu (2), ElGoonishShive (2), OrderOfTheStick (3), EightBitTheatre (2, 3rd in progress), DeathNote (2), YotsubaTo (2), GunnerkriggCourt (2), TerrorIsland (2), DarthsAndDroids (3). Yeah, I'm a nerd.

DragonBallZ. Hadn't seen it in years, but still had a huge soft spot for it. Then I got my hands on every single episode - and a good deal of it was a much higher-quality dub than the one I remembered from Toonami way back when. Watched five of the movies, and made it through episodes 1-128 in five or six days. Then I burnt out and my internal clock unfortunately righted itself. But I swear, I WILL finally get to watch the Buu saga if it's the last thing I do...!

Also, as many have said, OrderOfTheStick. Not sure how many days it took, but I got through - and will probably have to binge again soon, since I've forgotten a heavy chunk of the plot.

This troper has binged on Dr. McNinja, Applegeeks, Bayou, Queen of Wands, Comedity, Daisy Owl, El Goonish Shive, GastroPhobia, LICD, Girl Genius, Girls With Slingshots, Octopus Pie, and Punch an' Pie. She's currently binging on THE ENTIRE 10 YEARS of GPF. She's also planning (yes, she has them alphabetized, also -_-') on binging on Paranoia Agent, Please Twins, Ps238, Scary Go Round, and Two Lumps. And all of this is because she discovered them on TV Tropes.

[[Tropers/{{Dinru}}]] - It's not normal to do this when you first start reading a webcomic? Oh. Well. Well, if you couldn't figure it out, I do that with all of the Web Comics I read. RedString, YuMeDream, IWasKidnappedByLesbianPiratesFromOuterSpace, QuestionableContent, {{Misfile}}... just to name a few.

This troper had it easy when he only had to spend one night on {{Looking For Group.}} He then found that the same company also made the "daily updated for over seven years" {{Least I Could Do}}. That stole a week from his life.

This troper has just wasted ''a month'' looking up the ''CodeGeass'' pages on this site, their corollaries, and various other bits. She sighs in relief every time there's less than twenty tabs open at a time.

This troper thought she was the only one that did that. And specifically for Code Geass, too...

This troper finds that he can't properly enjoy a webcomic unless he has read every singe strip posted. This leads to binging from time to time. Now, this troper finds the main page is a bit vague on exactly what constitutes a binge, if it's simply reading all comics, in which case he always does it, or if it's also doing it fast, but suffice to say that the 1300-something pages of {{Questionable Content}} were handled in 4 days. He knows he will suffer abstinence when he finishes, but when you find those golden nuggets, it's damn hard to resist.

I may not have survived my senior year in high school if I didn't maintain my healthy cache of ''{{Peanuts}}'' collections to keep morale up. I'm already in college and I'm still in the 1980s.

This troper has no idea what to do with herself if she ISN'T on an ArchiveBinge. She once watched all three LOTR extended editions in one night and read the last three HarryPotter books in 15, 20, and 9 hours respectively. And just in the last two years or so she has seen/read all of: BuffyTheVampireSlayer (AND Angel) in a month and a half, then HowIMetYourMother, then Series/DoctorWho (all of the new series and up to Three in the Classic), Bones, CodeGeass in a week, {{Frasier}}, GundamWing, Saiyuki, NabariNoOu, StarTrek TOS, TNG,and Deep Space Nine, QuestionableContent, TheWestWing up to season four, PrincessTutu, ShugoChara (manga and anime), the Kathy Reichs novels, GoodbyeChains, and {{NCIS}}. Send help.

This troper found himself accidentally slipping into a British accent for an entire week after getting and sitting through most of the complete Monty Python's Flying Circus DVD collection.

This trope is glad to see she's not alone. It's sort of Trope-Anon. In addition to archive binges on a TON of the above, this troper has also archive binged on (this is only ones that I did ''not'' see above): CaseyAndAndy, ''Cheshire Crossing'', WhateleyUniverse, ''Amazing Superteam'', ''Doctor [=McNinja=]'', ''PS 238'', ''Skin Horse'', ''Twilight Zone'' (darn you, dad!), and every Agatha Christie book featuring Hercule Poirot.

The entire Cell Saga from DragonballZ: 6 sleepless nights, HarryPotter and the Deathly Hallows: 1 sleepless night, All of ZeldaComic: 5 hours,All of ElGoonishShive: 4 days with an adequate amount of sleep, Going back to re-binge on these only to discover all sorts of little things that you didn't before due to your fanatical desire to catch up as quickly as possible: Priceless

I recently signed up for Marvel's Digital Comics service. I've already read 36 issues of Ultimate Spider-Man in a few days, then I got to Uncanny X-Men, which referred to something that happened in Fantastic Four # 27, so of course I have to read that before I can keep reading X-Men, and...oh God...I think I'm beyond hope.

This troper invariably pulls this off when discovering a new webcomic, and this includes some real doozies: UserFriendly, QuestionableContent, SchlockMercenary... Does TVTropes itself count?

I once read through the entirety of the webcomic ''{{Concerned}}'' in a single day, just to see if I could do it. About 200 strips, probably three hours for the strips, two hours for TheRant, and about one hour of being distracted. I also read through ''PennyArcade'' in years, mainly to make it easier to keep track of where I was in the strip (one year is about 150 comics, and I didn't read the rant for these, I want to read the whole thing before I die). This is actually how I measure how good a comic is: how many I can read in one sitting before deciding I would rather do something else. Usually it takes around 100 to say that its worth reading (though it depends on an average strips length sometimes). Unless its in chapters, then I read one chapter at a time.

Lets see: I read the 7th Harry Potter book in one day, while laying in the same position. Needless to say I was sore when I finally stood up. When I first got into comics, I would be several back issues of a series and go through them. It got somewhat ridiculous when I began paying $100 during one trip the comic store. I used to do this with the LJ communities Customers_Suck and Crazyhotelworkers but then I found this site and since I read it at work, it helps to pass the time by quickly. Then there was the time I spent a few months watching Sailor Moon on Youtube.

For me, the best (or worst, depending on the length of the comic) part of any archiving binge is realizing halfway through the archives that the comics have AltText punchlines/exposition/etc.

This Troper Archive Binged MahouSenseiNegima two or three times on [=OneManga=]; now that he's started buying the actual volumes, he's on a pretty much constant cycle of rereading it in the evening.

Tropers/ZeldaTheSwordsman did Archive Binges on Zelda Comic, InSonicnia, There's Something about Tails, I Was Kidnapped by Lesbian Pirates From Outer Space, and Order of the Stick. Now following all of them. Currently going on a Youtube Archive Binge of Transformers Cybertron. I followed it when it first went on the air. But after Ep. 26, a cliffhanger, they had the NERVE to pull it from Kids' WB and put it on Cartoon Network instead, so only people with cable could watch it. So I'm watching it now. And if it's ripping them off, THEY DESERVE IT! WARNER DESERVES IT FOR EVERY SHITTY THING THEY'VE DONE THIS DECADE! STARTING WITH THE HARRY POTTER MOVIES! WHICH SHOULD ALL BE RECALLED AND RE-DONE SO THAT THEY'RE NOT PATHETIC MOCKERIES OF THE BOOKS! THE SAME WITH FARAMIR'S SCENES IN LORD OF THE RINGS! WHAT THE HELL, PETER JACKSON?!

This troper took 3 days to read the whole of Sluggy Freelance, from beginning to end. Back in 2006. Nowadays he has learnt which bits to skip.

This troper had the bright idea of trying to catch up on OnePiece there. She hardly slept for a week.

This troper had the bright idea of reading all 141 chapters of ''YokohamaKaidashiKikou'' in a marathon run. The sleep-deprived results aren't pretty....

This troper lost a good portion of a summer there, reading through JoJo's Bizarre Adventure there... since it started in the late 1980s and is STILL ONGOING (albeit now in an alternate continuity).

This Troper chose the day before his end of year exams started to start watching Sarah Connor Chronicles and Six Feet Under. Finished both within 3 weeks. Passed all the exams.

{{Archive Binge}}s (or the Internet in general) is what has been delaying this Troper's homework for a while. I still get it done, I just end up working during the evening to do it. Must... get... off... Troper Tales... and... finish... Japanese... workbook... is... due... Monday... OH NO A NEW ARCHIVE BINGE HAS BEEN FOUND!!!

Horizon}} This Troper just recently finally got around to buying both the complete series of Firefly and Serenity, and watched the lot in a single sitting, pausing only for food and toilet breaks.

This Troper archive binged through ElGoonishShive in 3 days. Reaction? Related dreams immediately after the very first day.

This troper and her brother doing this with the old Digimon series at the moment. We started watching series one out of nostalgia, only the first time round when we were young we'd missed a load of episodes, so we watched those. Now we're moving on to series two, and I'm planning to go onto series three (which I've never seen) and four or five (whichever one doesn't have the humans becoming digimon, because that sounds a bit daft) after that. I'm going to get it all out of the way soon, while I'm still young enough for it to not be completely stupid.

This troper has been on an anime binge for around a year and a half now, plus MegaTokyo, DarthsAndDroids, OneManga, and around fifty AbridgedSeries. He has a page-and-a-half long list of anime he's watched, a three-quarters-page list of anime he's watching, and a five-and-a-half page list of anime he'll get around to eventually. Yes, you read that right. Five and a half pages. And growing. Plus the page for manga series and webcomics. His favorite anime so far is YuYuHakusho, and his favorite manga is FullmetalAlchemist. He recommends that you go binge on them right away!

This troper has just now finished reading {{xkcd}} from the first comic to the latest one. Her eyes hurt, to say the least.

This troper refuses to start reading a webcomic until it shows up on the ArchivePanic page. Thank god I can go through most in a week or two. Though when I got the first four books of CodexAlera for christmas last year... A week of solid reading and forgetting to come down to eat or sleep. And then I ''re-read'' all four in the same fashion. I'm amazed I didn't die of starvation.

Alright, let's see... *gasps for air* [http://www.2pstart.com/ 2P Start], Abstruse Goose, Candi, CountYourSheep, CtrlAltDel, ElGoonishShive, [=F@NB0Y$=], MegaTokyo, MSPaintAdventures, NerfNow, 8BitTheater, OrderOfTheStick, QuestionableContent, SoreThumbs, {{Sinfest}}, VGCats, and XKCD. Currently reading MahouSenseiNegima.

I've found out about many of my now favourite webcomics through TVTropes, but only three have I actually bothered to ArchiveBinge, QuestionableContent, MSPaintAdventures, and OneOverZero. Other things I have archive binged are: SoreThumbs (about three years ago, so there wasn't that much), CtrlAltDel (around the same time), RPGWorld (You can imagine my anger at the abandonment), BonusStage (ditto), HomestarRunner (in 2003), WeeblandBob (2003) and CollegeRoomiesFromHell, which I never actually finished because I lost my place. One interesting subversion on this trope for me is that I actually go on a little ArchiveBinge every other week with all my regular webcomics, as I go to my Dad's for a week and catch up on everything when I get back to my Mum's.

@/JohnnyBGoode: I've read ''OnePiece'' in it's entirety. Took me about six months to get to chapter 300-something. Inspired by hearing my friend saying she read that much in a week, I read from that point to the latest chapter in about three days (this included a weekend of doing nearly nothing but that) Same friend also read ''RurouniKenshin'' (after I introduced her to it) in a couple of days (girl = insane) Thus inspired, I read probably 3/4 of the entire Jinchuu arc in a day. It's really hard to do, but if you have inspiration, it gets easier.

In the past year...nay, 6 months... Girly, Bleach, OnePiece, Rave, Allan, QuestionableContent, and a few others. Damnit.

This troper has read PennyArcade, FullMetalAlchemist, Saturnailia, VGCats (sorta stopped after that one), LeastICouldDo, TheAdventuresofDrMcNinja, SexyLosers, and {{Loserz}}. All others escape me at the moment, but I can safely say that Archive Binging is slowly becoming a hobby.

This Troper once read all of ''Purple Pussy'' during the Great LiveJournal blackout of 2005. I've also gone on watching sprees of HomestarRunner, ThatGuyWithTheGlasses and AngryVideoGameNerd upon discovering them for the first time.

This Troper is terrible for this. Doing it is so much fun but the comedown is horrible; still doesn't stop me spending days at a time reading back catalogues, I do it with books too. At least it doesn't cause serious physiological damage like some addictions can.

This troper discovered ''RPGWorld'' one evening, started reading... and finished around 6 o'clock the next morning, having totally neglected studying for the exams that were that day.

''{{Questionable Content}}'' took this troper from about 8pm when he discovered it until the next morning. Another of those 5-days-a-week webcomics with a fair amount of character-driven material.

This troper has personally read through ALL 1000+ strips of 8-Bit Theatre.

Ditto for this troper. Spent quite a few hours on that. I also introduced my friend to the comic. The day after he was absent from school because he first overslept because he had stayed up too late reading; and then he didn't bother to jump on a later bus because there was still more to read. His Archive Binge seems to have stopped around the 400 mark, though, he only reads occasionally now. But that's only because he doesn't have time.

This troper once read every Order of the Stick (up to 300 at the time) in one day, so...yeah.

ElGoonishShive. This troper recently embarked on the binge after avoiding it for a few months. I think I've been at it for three hours and I'm only up to Feb 2003.

Keep working at it... It's well worth it. This troper, after having that as her introduction to the world of webcomics five years ago, still considers that to be her favorite comic, above around forty to fifty other comics (all of which required archive binges).

Having since finished it, it took this troper around 10 hours to read the main strip, the fillers, and just some of the forums. Once. I still missed a whole bunch of stuff and am reading it ''again'' at a slower pace.

This Troper recently spent most of an entire weekend watching the entirety of ''RedVsBlue'', except for the portion of the first season that she'd already seen.

This troper spent the better part of a week reading all the stories at Not Always Right.

And this one has spent days over the past several years watching all the Strong Bad Emails from start to finish.

This Troper Is going through an ArchiveBinge of all 5 series of {{Digimon}}. He is, as of September 23, 2009, on episode 3 of DigimonAdventure, Episode 1 of DigimonAdventure02, episode 32 of DigimonTamers, Episode 14 of DigimonFrontier, and episode 15 of DigimonSavers.

@/NeoSilverThorn: I had one of these when I started reading SchlockMercenary. I had another just a week ago, reading the entirety of InWilysDefense.

This troper has gone through: # All of KidRadd in a single afternoon. # ElGoonishShive in two days. # PennyAndAggie in three days. # MenageA3 in one day. # EerieCuties in half-an-hour.

I saw the entire 1st season of ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' in one day.

After seeing all the above examples, this troper realizes how bad he is at archive binging. Only two of my current webcomics, ''{{Megatokyo}}'' and ''EightBitTheatre'', are over 1000 strips, and the later was started when it only had 600 or so. I have yet to catch up on any manga Just finished ''SoulEater''. Yay. At this point I'm halfway into ''OnePiece'' and trying to read ''MahouSenseiNegima'' and ''KenichiTheMightiestDisciple'' while having ''TheAdventuresOfDrMcninja'', ''GirlGenius'' and ''IrregularWebcomic'' on [=ArchiveBinge.net=].

This Troper has binged on VG Cats (Through # 262. 14 hours), XKCD (Through # 630. 44 hours), Allan (Through # 602. 35 hours), Shortpacked! (Through 11 Nov 2009. 23 hours. Straight.), Chobits (Online. 5 hours), Code Geass (Through 50), Monk (Through 101), my very own comic series You're In My World Now (not on the Internet. Through # 856, 40 hours), Sexy Losers (Through # 251. 22 hours.), and I tried Mezzacotta. Didn't get far.

This troper is now inspired by this page and has {{xkcd}}, {{Theatre Hopper}}, {{Penny Arcade}}, and {{Cyanide and Happiness}} pulled up to their first comics. This is this troper's first time Archive Binging. Wish him luck!

This troper has gone through Daisy Owl, Penny Arcade, xkcd, OrderOfTheStick twice, Dr. McNinja twice, DM of the Rings, Darths and Droids, SMBC, Daisy Owl twice, Stolen Pixels, Homestar Runner, ALL of Dinosaur Comics, Multiplex, and the now finished StickManStickMan. Average reading time is two to three days. Oh, and I once read EVERY SINGLE FREAKING GARFIELD from 1978 to around 2000.

Oh dear Lord, This troper has over 2,000 different webcomics, and I've binged pretty much all of em

Notable ones: Questionable Content Its Walky! Shortpacked! Kevin and Kel Girl genius Dead Winter 21st Century Fox Fur May Fly Las Lindas El Goonish Shive Yosh!

This troper just wrapped up Surviving The World. It took her the better part of a day. The only reason it wasn't more is because STW is a short gag-a-day. (And that doesn't count the time she took out to post the best ones on her friend's Facebooks...

This troper decided a while back to get more familiar with the history of WhoseLineIsItAnyway, and thanks to Youtube it's possible to Archive Binge from the first season of the Uk version. To date, my browser history says that 3 weeks ago I was on season 1 ep 3 onwards (presumably it began earlier), and currently I finished season 8 ep 5, STILL UK VERSION.

This troper had done a few, though the ones that stick out to me are as follows:

One summer afternoon, one of my friends and I did an archive binge on ElfenLied. He (The friend) had seen it before, and wanted me to see it, so we watched it from start to finish in a single day. After all was said and done, I never wanted to watch the series again (The plot was just a little too disturbing in my opinion)

After playing a lot of the first {{Half-Life}}, I decided to do a binge of [=~Freeman's Mind~=]. In all, I watched all 24 episodes to date (Which conveniently stop where I'm at in the game right now; preventing any spoilers), plus the April Fool's Day special episode, in roughly 2 hours.

From a span of late December 2009 until mid June 2010, I did a full-on Archive Binge of Troper Tales. Got to live Firefox's ability to save all open tabs when you close; which made this a lot easier to handle.

This Troper's (modest) list of binges:

Order of the Stick (Two days)

xkcd (Two days to read through, two days to read through ''again'' because he didn't realize there was an alt-text)

Darths 'n' Droids (Two days)

Code Geass (Five days)

Scrubs (Three weeks)

VGCats (Two days)

[=~@/0dd1~=]: Things I've hit the binge on:

{{Precocious}} - about a day and a half, though that was back when there were only about 150 strips

{{XKCD}} - two, three weeks perhaps

The first few seasons of FullHouse (as each season came out, though I never got through it all)

YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries - a day and a half, the majority of them in one night...this was around when there were about 26 episodes

TheWeirdAlShow - one night, the whole series...of course, it only lasted one season, so...yeah.

{{Smosh}} - one night (ironically it was the night right before they were suspended from YouTube briefly)

ChadVader, season 1 - two or three nights

{{Cyberchase}} - one day. Justified, as it was a marathon on PBS and I was home sick from school.

MyImmortal - two nights that I wasted

TheNostalgiaCritic - a few weeks

AngryVideoGameNerd - around a month

AtopTheFourthWall - a few weeks

A website that I have forgotten the name of (I think it was Razorick or something)...more specifically, the section of that site where there was all SuperMarioBros sprite flash movies. Took (in total) about a month.

{{Smashtasm}} - a day

{{Outernet}} (book series) - about a month

DearDumbDiary - a few months

HankZipzer - a few months

TheBeatles' albums - a few months due to lack of money

There was a {{YouTube}} user who once had tons of Mario sprite movies (including a 6-part series call "The Quest for Money", or something of the sort). I went through them all in a night and loved them. Needless to say, I became downtrodden when I realized he removed all the videos from his channel.

WarioWare: Mega Microgame$ - a few days (it counts! Technically speaking, it's an archive of microgames!)

GingersBread: a few days, though I didn't make it too far since I forgot to go back to it after I missed a day of reading the archive.

I-Mockery: about a month or two

SimonAndGarfunkel's albums: A few months, though it would have been quicker had I had more money. I should note, though, that I'm referring to their studio albums, and I haven't yet gotten to all their live albums (aside from their Radio City Music Hall live album), nor have I gotten much of their solo discography yet (PaulSimon's ''The Paul Simon Songbook'' and ''The Afterlife'', as well as the songs "Kodachrome", "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard", and the mid-1970s Art Garfunkel collaboration "My Little Town" aside).

TroperTales - still in progress

This troper prefers short intense binges. GirlGenius lasted me about a day.

This troper has become a fan of many shows and games (SuperMarioBros, MontyPython, HomestarRunner, {{Thunderbirds}}, [=~Punch-Out!!~=], etc.) through learning a little about it, then needing to learn more. I'm constantly in a state of ArchivePanic over stuff. (Rare {{Thunderbirds}} commercial from the 60's?! I gotta see it! WHAT?! No YouTube video?! Oh, wait, '''''finally''''', here it-- AAHH!!! It's been deleted! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!)

This troper binged on Loserz and Precocious when she first discovered them. But she's a really fast reader, so they didn't take her long. Also TV tropes, but that goes without saying and she has the feeling that she couldn't read it all if she had the rest of her life to do it.

This Troper has Archive Binged several times. The usual webcomic examples are ''BobAndGeorge'', ''PvP'', ''DandyAndCompany'', and ''EightBitTheatre''. I've also watched the ''{{Pokemon}}'' anime through the Orange Island episodes over the course of a single weekend, ditto with the entire 2003 ''TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' cartoon up until that point (Back to the Sewer hadn't been released yet). ''BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' took about a month. I watched ''OnePiece'' at the rate of 10 episodes a day. Currently planning the same with ''{{Naruto}}'' and ''{{Anime/Monster}}''.

This Troper just completed all 297 pages of NotAlwaysRight, and is now ''incredibly'' grateful that he hasn't worked customer-facing jobs in three years.

I've just got to say this - all 10 seasons of SG-1, less than a week.

@/SquealingSandry, when bored, tends to go ArchiveBinge some of her favorite webcomics or online manga scans... including {{Naruto}}, OnePiece, QuestionableContent, GirlGenius, DrowTales, DominicDeegan, etc. Since she's a natural speed reader, she has managed to finish the entirety of the OnePiece available at the time in two days. This was during the Florian Triangle arc, so well over 400 chapters. In 2 days.

This troper does this on a regular basis. Most often with long-standing manga she decides to read, though sometimes with anime she wants to watch, and less often with webcomics and various post-a-day sites she stumbles across. Most of the time it's simply because she feels like rewatching/rereading the series. Thoguht she learned her lesson about pacing when she tried to watch all of Sailor Moon though. Let's just say growing up with it does not mean you won't get sick of it 100 episodes and a week in. (She did finish it off about a year later though). Also, her need to see anime in order has led her to become very good at finding what she's after in the recesses of the internets.

One piece: Anime, one month, Manga, two weeks. As of that binge, the anime was at 448 episodes, and the manga about 580 some-odd chapters. This troper has no life.

ElfenLied in five hours.

This troper spent a whole day missing school watching {{Gankutsuou}}. It was worth it.

This troper's taken a week to binge on Bob and George and three days for the Midori no Hibi manga.

After series after series that was LeftHanging, I restrict myself to only following a few really good works as they're written. ''Everything'' else is archive binged once it's complete. (I obtain most of my books from the library, and I'm not playing any video games that are part of a long-running series, so my money doesn't much matter for keeping any series going.)

I did this with LimyaaelsFantasyRants. Right now, I'm working on printing my favorite rants with the remainder of my school printing budget. It's going pretty slow.

Its Just Some Random Guy roped me in with his first introduction of Deadpool into the Marvel/DC vids. Then I watched every single episode from start to finish. EVERYTHING (but not Twas the Dark Knight Before Christmas. I don't like christmas stories).

I believe I binged HomestarRunner within a couple of days twice. Once in 2003 when I was first introduced, then again in 2008 when I went back to it. Ouch.

This troper read through the entire plot of UnicornJelly in 2 days. Soon after he started using "farg" in real life.

This Troper had the bright idea of binging on Bash.org. I quickly learned that it was not possible without killing myself, so now I go only a few pages at a time. Previous conquests include 8-Bit Theatre, XKCD, and Ctrl-Alt-Del

This troper spent weeks reading MegaTokyo over a dialup connection. Needless to say, his parents were not pleased with their lack of phone service. Since then, AppleGeeks, Mac Hall, xkcd, Questionable Content, Inverloch (in one night) and a few others that he no longer remembers. Then came the TV. First House (back when there were only three seasons), and the order of the rest is fuzzy, but contains Mythbusters, Top Gear (season 8 was the latest complete one at that point), Boston Legal, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Bones (3 seasons), Weeds (4 seasons), Dexter (4 seasons), How I Met Your Mother and Buffy. Currently, he has decided to give up archive binging. A assuming he falls off the wagon, he is still in the middle of Star Trek: Voyager, and will probably continue with Angel following that.

This troper read all of ''SexyLosers'' in a little under two hours. I feel dirty for reading something like that... Even though I thought that the yuri pairing between Rumiko and Natsuki was kinda hot... Until Natsuki died... Well, thank god for FanonDiscontinuity! That way, I can pretend it never even happened...

This troper binged...

webcomics: Johnny Wander, Kevin and Kell, Questionable Content, XKCD, Bunny, Penny & Aggie, Sinfest, Least I Could Do, Oh My Gods!, DAR, Girls With Slingshots, Awkward Zombie, American Elf, Minus, Two Lumps, Garfield Minus Garfield, Uncubed, Chugworth Academy, Lackadaisy, Hark a Vagrant, Shortpacked, Order of the Stick, The Perry Bible Fellowship, Married to the Sea, Natalie Dee, Chainsawsuit, A Softer World, Boy Meets Boy & Friendly Hostility, Hyperbole and a Half, Pictures for Sad Children, Something Positive, Surviving the World, NamirDeiter, and Subnormality.

TV shows: House, Supernatural, Criminal Minds, Glee, Dollhouse

other: Zero Punctuation, Unskippable, Lord Vega's Silent Hill {{Lets Play}}s, Kung-Fu Jesus &co's Sonic Unleashed and Sonic 2006 [=LPs=], DeceasedCrab's [=LPs=], working on [=JMan's=] IWannaBeTheGuy LP.

This troper watched all three FullMetalPanic series in about four days, now she's reading the light novels. GhastlysGhastlyWebcomic, DarthsAndDroids, and NanaToKaoru did this too.

This troper's become quite addicted to Archive Binging webcomics. He has currently read all of VG Cats, xkcd, Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, Questionable Content, Calamities of Nature, Snowflakes, pictures for sad children, A Softer World, Scenes From a Multiverse (though this one just started), Amazing Superpowers, and as of last night just finished Bittersweet Candy Bowl. Will probably find another one in his bookmarks to read tonight.

I read the entirety of Bleach (at the time, 404 chapters), in three days.

I do this for pretty much every new webcomic/author/director that I find and like. My most notable binges are probably Questionable Content (Five times now, I think), Achewood (that one was *hard*), C S Friedman (Twice in one week.) and Hayao Miyazaki (I watched Mononoke, Castle in the Sky, and Nausicaa in the same day, to start.)

When she wasn't putting anything out for at least three months, this troper binged and managed to watch all TheNostalgiaChick videos within a week. Much earlier, she went through all TheNostalgiaCritic and that took a month. Both well worth it.

Things this troper (Polaris) has binged on in the last year:

The entirety of the QuestionableContent, {{Shortpacked}}, and GirlGenius archives (the last not for the first time).

Most of the SCPFoundation website (partly because after reading enough, it was better than attempting to sleep with the images in her head)

All five seasons of ''CriminalMinds''

All of ''AvatarTheLastAirbender''

Essentially, any new comic or TV series she encounters is going to get binged on. It's fair to say she has an obsessive personality.

This is This Troper's modus operandi when it comes to new shows/webcomics/manga due to hating being left on a cliffhanger. She has done this with FullmetalAlchemist anime and manga, OrderOfTheStick, HarkAVagrant,{{Wondermark}}, TheNonAdventuresOfWonderella, TheBookOfBiff, Series/DoctorWho (classic series and new series), {{Anime/Monster}} and many more.

This trope is the reason that this Troper tries to watch any shows he decides to try out in Megavideo format, using the imposed time limit to control how much he watches in a day. Shame this doesn't apply to webcomics, though...

This troper has come to the following conclusions about skeptical blogs:

They are a never-ending archive binge, as the multiplying tabs will invariably include tabs with other skeptical blogs that have been referenced.

The multiplying tabs will, within the first five different blogs, lead to either PZ Myers or Orac

If the reader started with either PZ or Orac, they will likely never get to any of the other blogs in their multiplying tabs.

This troper probably wouldn't have become a nerdfighter if she hadn't been ill one week and did an archive binge of Brotherhood 2.0 and all the subsequent vlogs posted afterwards. I was immensely feverish and hopped up on antibiotics at the time, which gave it a uniquely surreal edge.

This troper binged on the enirety of {{The Dreamer}} yesterday afternoon. Not too bad, even seemed too short. But I've also binged on {{Fullmetal Alchemist}}, {{The Nostalgia Critic}}, {{Atop the Fourth Wall}}, {{Hellboy}} (and Dark Horse comics ain't cheap!), {{Darren Shan}}, {{Berserk}} (oh my my stars 'n' garters, Berserk), when I was a wee little one I read one of the {{Royal Diaries}} books a day, and {{Star Trek}} (also, eek).

I first discovered YuMeDream around the time when Part 2 was just getting underway. I binged it all up until then, followed it for a few weeks or so, and then forgot about it. The other day I saw an example from it on a trope article and found out from its own article that it had recently ended. Then I binged it all in 2 or 3 days.

This Troper once did a Halo canon binge. From the Forerunner-Flood war (reading the archives from the blog ''Ascendant Justice'' and files from the Halo 3 ARG), through the Human-Covenant war (books and games), to the end of the Believe campaign. The whole thing lasted something between six months and a year. While inconsistencies and retcons irk somewhat when you go chronologically, the feeling of seeing a breathing universe and watching all things being connected in the 100,000 year old war is just amazing. He will do another once Greg Bear's Forerunner trilogy is complete. THEN it will be an epic tale!

This troper had never taken the {{Dragon Quest}} series seriously in the past, but starting on a hot summer-like weekend in May 2008 he started to play the first one, and eventually cleared all 8 main Dragon Quest games in order, finishing December of that year. He has since cleared Dragon Quest IX too.

I made an archive binge on several LEGO webcomics including Reasonably Clever, Brick Gamers, Bricks of the dead and Mattias Backströms LEGO Star Wars comics The last one probably was the saddest one of all when I realised the last issue was released four years ago...

Now starting Irregular Webcomic. Very weird to see that the first ones are mostly of roleplaying figures.

I love the feeling of a good Archive Binge... I did it for OrderOfTheStick, QuestionableContent, EightBitTheater. GirlGenius, FreakAngels, SchlockMercenary, a few shorter webcomics, and am currently in the middle of a SomethingPositive binge. I do this for books as well; there was a week or so when I read one book from the DresdenFiles every day, and then had to wait months for ''Changes.'' But the longest was for OnePiece; watching the anime alone took nearly three months, and then I felt the need to go through the manga - dealing with the current chapter/episode a week schedule is agonizing.

This troper did an archive binge of {{Bleach}} before the current arc started. It took roughly 25 hours spread out over 5 days, and it pretty much put me off manga for life. Hell, it wasn't even worth it in the end, I could've stopped after day 1 and been satisfied with it, but I ploughed through it and ended up coming away hugely dissapointed. There was also the time I watched the whole of {{There Will Be Brawl}}, which was amazing, and after studying it as part of Media Studies, {{Misfits}} (obviously it was the latter I was studying, not the former.) Not sure if the last two count though since they're relatively short by comparison, and Brawl finished a good while back. Any other binges I've attempted haven't lasted.

This troper. {{Homestuck}}. Three and a half-days, with actual time spent reading being like 8 hours.

I have the tendency to refuse to read new updates of a web comic until I have read the entire archive no matter how bloated or irrelevant in understanding the current story. Sometimes this happens over a reasonable pace, such as reading ''QuestionableContent'' over a few weeks whenever I was bored. However, sometimes I get a little too in to it and do something ridiculous like reading ''ElGoonishshive'' or ''WapsiSquare'' in a single day, or reading ''SchlockMercenary'' over the course of a weekend.

This Tropette is currently on one with {{Misfile}}.

Another Tropette (Tropers/{{Iceguppie}}) sometimes reads {{Adventurers}} all the way through when extremley bored.

A few months back, I spent three full days doing literally nothing but reading the entirety of the ''{{Walkyverse}}'', eating, and sleeping.

This troper recently archive binged Homestuck, it took all the time, all of it.

Curse you, Tvtropes. Because of you, this troper has discovered quite a few extremely lengthy webcomics that I just had to read from the beginning, including GirlGenius, OrderOfTheStick, and TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja. My productivity has gone down to zero because of that. Also, this site made me discover BuffyTheVampireSlayer and I've been binging on that too for the past two or three months.

This Troper has recently (read: last year) gotten into Doctor Who, and as is her custom, looked up Doctor Who Podcasts in the iTunes store... Now, besides for wanting to watch the original series, which is around 26 seasons, she has now found (at least) 3 podcasts that she loves, and is now listening to them whenever she has a free moment. She will probably be just done with even ONE of them in a month. (240 HOURS. OF ONE PODCAST)Thank you, Radio Free Skaro, you have completely taken over my life.

Half an hour ago, This troper finally read the very latest Naruto chapter. ''Damn'' that's a long manga.

Troper introduced her pal to GalaxyRangers like this. Two thirteen hour binges. Troper had lost her job, couldn't sleep, and needed something to keep her mind intact.

About a month ago, I ended up playing MegaMan game after Mega Man game. I finished 1-6, X1-X6 and Zero 1 in the space of maybe a week and a half. It took the (only released in Korea, for good reason) PC version of Mega Man X7 to finally make me call it quits. I got through five bosses before I just. Couldn't. TAKE IT ANYMORE!
