This is why games are addictive

[Spooniest]

Because I just turned on Sonic the Hedgehog and before I realized what I was doing, I saw this.

Got any weird gaming binge stories? Let's hear 'em!

Started playing XCom Enemy Unknown yesterday at about 11am. Didn't stop until 4pm, and that was only because I realized I had to use the bathroom.

[Del Murder]

Several times in FFXI I would say 'just one more battle and then I'll go to bed' and next time I look at the clock it's 3AM.

One more turn.

One more turn.

One more turn.

[NeoCracker]

You speak as if this is an anomaly that doesn't happen with every game you ever play.

Several times in FFXI I would say 'just one more battle and then I'll go to bed' and next time I look at the clock it's 3AM.

3 AM? I wish I was as good at stopping as you are.

One more turn.

One more turn.

One more turn.

To be fair, you seem to almost exclusively play games that are absolutely plagued by One More Turn Syndrome.

[Slothy]

Even XCom suffers from one more turn syndrome which you wouldn't think to be the case given the lack of turns. Instead it's "one more piece of research. Once more satellite. One more mission. One more base expansion. Etc."

I think Firaxis must put something in the water of all of their customers.

Hey now, I play stuff that isn't turn-based! ...sometimes!

But Civ is truly the worst offender.

There was only about an hour of waking life yesterday that wasn't spent playing FFXIV. That's... promising?

[Pike]

I'm torn because I want to play FFXIV but I have EU4 to dump a few hundred hours into and also I have to write and bleh.

is there going to be a beta for ff14 on ps3 i kno

[Shauna]

There's been beta on the PS3 for a while now. The open beta was this weekend, I'm pretty sure. :3

[ZonkoTony]

I can't get enough of Dynamite Heady or Croc. My two favorite games of all time.

[Sephex]

Metal Gear Solid 3 caused me to play the game 12 hours straight.

Metal Gear Solid 4 went about the same time.

When I got the Playstation version of Chrono Trigger, I played that for about 10 hours without looking back. It was so long since I did a new game plus when I was maxing out stuff on the SNES version. I guess I was just having too much fun playing a fresh game.
