My rooming arrangement just got switched around, and my new roommate has a PS2, and a copy of Max Payne, which I had never played before. Since he’s gone all weekend, I figured he wouldn’t care if I used his stuff and put it back as I found it. So, I started the thing up about 10 last night (then spent on hour figuring how to get the sound on, stupid overly complicated surround sound). Before I knew it, the time was 9:45 am and I had to go meet someone. Then I got back at 10:30 and finished the game by 1:30.
That’s been happening to me with Neverwinter Nights lately… I’ll start playing at like 10pm… then about six hours later I’ll realize its probably a good time to go to sleep. Its really easy to get swept up by a video game.
Yeah, 24+ hour gaming sessions aren’t uncommon for me. My body’s got kinda used to them though, I don’t feel the effects as much anymore. Most of the time it’s like “Man, where the fuck did the time go?!”
I started playing Xenogears around 10 last night, and I went to bed at 4 am. I think I was dozing off during some predictable dialogue at the end of Disc 1, so once I was able to save I figured it was time to call it a night. (I normally go to bed around 12.)
I remember back in the day when my brother and I would rent games over the weekend… we’d get Chrono Trigger or something like that and end up staying up almost all night Friday and Saturday playing before we had to return it.
I stayed up to 5 AM playing old Opposing Force these days. I’m close to the ending, so my sleep shall be normalized again. At least untill I find something else.
Furcadia is what causes me to stay up until my parents’ alarm goes off. If it weren’t for the fact that I’d get grounded if I stayed up later than that, I’d play until it’s time to get ready for school (or at least I would if my laptop was working).
Whoa! You people are hardcore! I never really played that long. I guess the longest I’ve ever played a game would be like five hours straight. I don’t think the 12 hours my freind and I took to beat some game (I can’t think of what it was right now) counts because we took turns playing. Given these hours were “daytime” hours and that I was in bed by 11 PM. Yeah, I’m a wuss that needs his beauty sleep :hahaha;
