I don't do that because my parents notice. I still remember one day playing Diablo 2 multiplayer with my brother. We were having a lot of fun and were somewhere in Act 2 when my dad came in and said: "It's four o'clock in the morning! Go to bed!" Oops... time sure flies when you're having fun!

So far my record is something over 24 hours on Wiz 7... and then went to work. Had to explain my sketchy condition to my boss, but he just looked at me funny, I guess he's not a gamer.

well lets see... on many occasions, ive played Brood War from about 9 at night until the sun was high in the sky... same goes for Half-Life. and with Bg2 i stayed up for about 32 hours trying to beat the last 4 chapters in one night... and i was able to do it! then a few nights ago i stayed up til 2 when i had to get up at 7 trying to beat Aec'letec in bg1. ive stayed up through the whole night playing games numerous times, and i dont think i can list every occasion ive done it. especially during the summer... unless i had a camp to go to in a few days, or was at camp, i was up all night gaming. that goes for like the last 3 years.

It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.

Erhmm, staying up long? Play to ,uch?? hehe, I have been there, going to be there many times yet LOL.
First time I played Doom was on my friends brand new 486. We played 40 hours in a row.. Than collapsed. We could see nice prints of our asses in his couch for days after that!

Also Diablo took 30 hours straight of play when I got that one..

Can anyone say summer and pirates.. can anyone say raining and an old C-64... Oups..

Ah yes - the all night gaming session. Had a few of those (OK, slightly more than a few if the truth be told).
The original Civilisation was the first game to do that to me. In fact every version of Civ has resulted in several missed nights of sleep.

You tell it, Epona! I knew that I had some 24-hour-sessions, but I couldn´t remember the game. Now I know, it was Civilisation, still one of the best games ever.

Ah the campaigns Ive had!

I rember once staying up till 4 am playing Ultima Online in a dungeon called Wrong. Blasted trolls are addicting

Then there is the classic battle on Bnet, particclary StarCraft, I rember once staying till around 3 am playing that with my brother. I was far too sleep build up units to attack so I built tons and tons of Photon Cannons and just defended till he gave up. Worked

Who can forget the ever going story of BG,BG2, and TOB? How many hours of my real life did I waste playing those games.

Now lets see how addicting the guild wars for NWN will be....

------------------


So if in the forest look behind you, because that where the ranger is going to be

The ranger looked @ the place out side of the elven town near the river, he looked near the rocks, then they showed the way ....
