    What game causes you to suffer from this the most? I intended on going to bed before midnight yesterday but then the summer transfer window opened up in my game of Football Manager 2012, and, well... I'm so tired today.

    There is no one game for me. This is just an ingrained habit I have for most games I play.

    But which ones does it the most? Which ones makes you lose all sense of time despite knowing exactly what time it is? There must be one - or a few, perhaps - that have kept you up to ridiculous hours and made you late for work?

    Lets see here....

    I've beaten Super Mario RPG in one sitting, I'd once played Dynasty Warriors 5 four, quite literally, 24 hours straight, Xenoblade Murdered the hell out of my sleep for over a weak. I could keep this list going for ages man.

    I honestly can't tell you which has done it most. If you can't tell, I have a problem.


    Edit: Well, thinking a bit more, I guess the worse case scenario for me was Xenosaga...

    We won't get into details on that one...

    okay it's been a while since I've played SMRPG but I seem to recall that it was at least 20ish hours so that is impressive.

    I recall clocking in 30 hours, though given how long I'd been up I'm not sure if my memory of clock time is at all reliable.

    The last, tattered remnants of my dignity require that I do not go into any great depth in this thread...

    Most recently: Far Cry 3. I thought it was going to be the last modern game I would play for a while, so I completed in roughly one day. One solid day. Including the night.

    Golden Sun, and Golden Sun: The Lost Age, when I first played them.

    It was...bad. It wasn't a case of staying up too late, so much as a case of "one minute late won't hurt...", which became two minutes, and you can probably see where this is going.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    I thought of another one.

    FF Tactics Advance.

    Good WORD I could not ever put that game down.

    Definitely! It wasn't until they ported it to the PSP that I was finally able to play AND go to the bathroom, but then I spent hours in the bathroom and then my butt suffered.


    Now it's Mass Effect. I can't stop playing these games, especially the ME3 multiplayer. It's always one more round and I'll stop, one more round and I'll stop, one more r-- I'm late for class, I better finish this round and try to make it.

    In recent memory, Civ IV was the worst one for doing this to me. I even thought to myself "just one more turn" a number of times, which was a promise I inevitably broke.
