I've never devoted an entire all-nighter to videogames, although the one when I was about 12 at a friends house and we spent most of the time split between their X-box and the Lord of the Rings edition of Risk comes close. I think we spent 5 hours of it on Risk alone.

These days, when I pull an all-nighter, it's usually because I have a paper due sometime in the next week, so only 2-3 hours at the most of that time gets devoted to actually playing games -- and more often than not, none of the time does. Now, if playing games till 3, and then doing other stuff until 6 AM counts, then I did that night before last, and if playing games til 3 counts on its own, then I did it last night.

P.S.: I just remembered, I did have an all-nighter exclusively devoted to gaming, and it was this last year too. One of the church groups at my University throws a LAN party once or twice a year. Why a LAN party and why a church I'm not sure, but they aren't preachy about it, it's just 12 hours of solid gaming. I must have spent 11 of it on TF2 alone. Next time they throw one, I'll actually be coming out there armed with copies of both Left4Dead games, which, aside with Starcraft II, which just isn't my subgenre, was the other major game at the party. (For the record, I love 4X games, but I'm not a fan of Real Time Strategy. That's why Starcraft II isn't my subgenre.)

Edit: I can already see that I'm going to have a hard time adjusting to it being 2011 now. The Summer of 2010 is no longer "this year."

I'm not one to pull an all-nighter.

However, I did play Sly Cooper for 8 hours one day without stopping.

I'm pretty sure my eyeballs did a complete 180 by the end of the day.

I was tripping balls. Seriously.

I spent from 9pm to 6am on a left 4 dead 2 custom 8 player campaign server.

I was having problems sleeping recently anyways, so I thought AHHH PLAY

Fable III

Not my game, and my sister hadn't figured the interactive save menu yet so I had to complete the plot in one sitting just in case she deleted the file later.

Playing with my two brothers, free-for-all, on a biggest map ever.
Hell yes! But I did a lot of that in Heroes of Might and Magic 3.

8 hours was the magic number for many of my nights, when i played GTA 4 free mode online.

the game overall, disappointed me. i gave up on the single player at like 16% or so, and the only multiplayer mode i enjoyed was free mode. crazy fun with the right people
crazy fun with the right people
You should get gmod and play some DarkRP. :/

Heroes of Might and Magic 3 is my favorite, too. I have spent a lot of time playing that one.

Oh god. I once spent about 8 hours (6pm - 2 am) making something.

Which then burnt down in a blaze of glory.

LOSING IS FUN
So is the circus! :D

If card games count then yu gi o :p
It's hard to stop when you're like 10
Card games count. ESPECIALLY yu-gi-oh! lol i was still playing that when i was about 18/19. Nearly 21 now. Only play the occasional game these days xD
I used to play Yugi-Oh. Not too long ago, my friends and I would get together weekly and play. My favorite was the free for all. Five people, give or take, would play, but only one would win. We had our own special rules to make it fair. But I don't even have any cards anymore, so...

Lots of things have kept me up way past bedtime. Good games, books, parties, girls (cough cough). This morning I was playing WoW (you called it) till about 7 this morning. I had a good random group.

Yeah, basically what you just did, except on my PS3 with my girlfriend. We played from about 8:30pm to 3:00am. Yeah, we're a match made in heaven. XD
