Have you ever stayed up late because you were playing an old video game of yours/watching a movie you haven't seen in a while/looking at an old collection of yours/etc? (Basically you're up late because of an old thing you haven't seen/used in a while)

It occassionally happens to me.

I stayed up until 6 this morning because I wanted to finish beating Lufia and the Fortress of Doom. It only took 16 straight hours to finish what I had left of the game :p

Happens to me all the time. I'm kind of a nolstalgia fool like that.

whenever I go to write in my diary I end up staying up late. I don't do it very often. I started it in 1995.

Last summer I had to be awake at 9 AM to ride to Columbus. I stayed up grinding all of my characters on Chrono Trigger to level **. Suffice to say, I did not sleep that night.

Of course.

I enjoy revisiting 1989, 1994, 2000, and 2003 the most though.

That's what I love about the summer.

I can't play video games during the day anyway because the sun rays create a reflection on the TV and I can't see the game properly. =(

Nope. I stay up because I can't sleep.

Um, I started playing Final Fantasy 3 for the NES yesterday evening.
I stayed up all night, and now I've got the Enterprise and made it to the Ancient Ruins. :D

I should also note that I actually had to go to work today, so I frequently got the question "are you tired, Peter?" from my colleagues. XD

I've also tried to get into Final Fantasy 7 again, three times in a row, but for some reason I always restart after the Midgar part.
I love Midgar, I guess. :rolleyes2

I usually find myself being up late because of some very random TV series or crappy movies they show after midnight (Not X-rated movies :P).. I'm often too lazy to go to bed :eep:

I'm getting better at going to bed earlier but usually when I come across old diaries or notebooks I used to pass around with friends in high school I stay up really late.

I fixed my Sega Nomad one time and ended up playing it all through the night. Now thats a nostalgia trip, as that system is complete crap and I know it.

I stayed up all night with a mate slashing around on Champions of Norrath. Good game on one player. Kicks ass on two player. It was lol-tastic. Plus I kept stealing all the good items before him.

Usually, when I stay up super late, it's for something I haven't previously done.

Happens all the time. Some examples include looking at my old collection of Sonic and Spiderman comics, as well as my old mid-90s Nintendo Power and PSM collection. Either that or playing some old games like Super Mario RPG or A Link to the Past.

Threads of Fate n.n

It's a short game, and if you beat it with both characters you get to start a new game while keeping your super high stats from the last time you play. So...if you're using super characters, the game takes about four and a half hours to beat. I got so addicted once, that I beat it three times in one day. It kept me up pretty late.
