Do games keep you awake?

Admiral Huddy · 27-11-2006, 18:18

Ok, sad question but they do me.

If I haven't got past or to a specific point, that's it I'm awake..

Yesterday afternoon I was playing CoH and there is this particular mission I can't seem to win. I spent 2 hours and got nowhere. So I give up for the eveing but then find myself thinking of nothing else other than how I can overcome this obsticle.

I normally leave a game when i've just completed a mission or sub-mission.

If I told my Mrs that was the reason i was ake, i'd be in the dog house.

What about you guys?

Or am I just a sado?

Yup definitely

Also if it's an addictive game, i'll quite easily forgo sleep for one last go. Saturday night I was playing Fight Night Round 3 on the 360 with a guy, we didn't notice the time......ended up finishing at 5am

Nah I can't say a game has ever kept me awake although I have on occasion found myself mentally running through a section in my mind, usually when I am bored and meant to be doing something else.

Me too

Something about that game that gets into your dreams so easily.

I dreamt of Halo too, but that was because of me and my ex playing it on co-op all day.

I do occasionally find myself lying in bed thinking about stuff I need to do in Oblivion.. or at work, not working..

After days playing CoD I remember sitting in the office at work looking at an office over the other side of the road and thinking that I'd be best off using the sniper rifle to take out the people I could see in the window!

haha yeah i do that too. I get to Chelmsford railway station and pull out my Dual Ingrams so I can get a seat on the train! That's quite disturbing really

I got quite obsessed with getting my first character to lvl 50 in DAoC, any spare second I'd log in and do just a bit more. I used to eat sleep breathe it, one of the reasons I stopped gaming.

Playing games has taught me how to stay awake when needed

Some games I've been up to the small hours playing completely un-awares.
