I play games for long periods of time sometimes. But not for 12 hours and I keep my legs moving by going to the fridge in between rounds.

I used to have plenty of 12-18 hour gaming sessions, but I'd get up every hour even if it was to the kitchen for a drink and the bathroom for...

I sit at a desk for 8-10 hours a day for work, but I get up and walk around frequently there too.

Also, no matter where I'm sitting, the percussionist in me doesn't rest, so I'm constantly using my thighs or just calves to tap.

Don't know how much any of that really changes the possibility of DVT, but whatever..
