Allnighters on the Escapist

[Shockolate]

Every day for the past 2 weeks.

But that's just because of my abnormal sleep pattern.

I sleep in the afternoon.

I generally just check the Escapist every 30 minutes - hour or so. (Unless I'm active in a thread, which barely ever happens)

Check if any interesting news is out, see if there are any threads I feel like I could contribute to (I generally just lurk, in fact I just recently signed up after like .. 2 years of lurking? I'm bad with keeping track of time). And then I just go back to what I was doing before.

I haven't spent whole nights lurking/posting. Though I do pull all-nighters a bit more often than I should. And I'll probably do more since I got a week off from school, and I recently started drinking coffee again. Wooooo ^.^

Sounds pretty sad if you spend all night on a forum.

I do check in every few days or so to see if there's anything interesting I can learn. Most of the time the forums are not the place to go for that though. Sometimes Extra Credits is interesting, the videos here have always been pretty awesome with a few exceptions. The articles can be really awesome from time to time as well.

I hven't spent all night on the Escapist. But I have spent all night at a friend's house watching anime (got home at 7:00AM EST this morning. THAT Was a fun night)

It's probably been years since I was on a posting spree for hours on end, but posting has never prioritized itself over sleep in my mind.

tvtropes has done that to me.

More than a few times...

I share your pain.


OT: Yeah, sort of, I rarely close down 'scapist before 2AM, and when I do it's only to watch anime/guitah untill 4AM, and even then I might check 'scapist.

Yes, I do feel like a sad bastard for doing so, but I still don't care =)

well i'm (currently) spending tonight playing dragon age 2/occasionally checking through here, just cos... well, specifically i'm attempting to make myself tired to dramatically alter my sleep pattern

Last night i was up til 5 in the morning, reading fanfics, while listening to this song repeatedly and checking for new threads and stuff ever 15 minutes...

Every Tuesday and Thursday. I have class really early on those days and I don't trust myself to get up.

Alarm clock?

I have one, but I can be a heavy sleeper.

Certainly. Not necessarily spending all night on The Escapist, but my sleeping rhythms are something incredible. And I use to excuse my allnighters by thinking they'll fix it, although they'll just mess it up even more.

I haven't stayed up for 24 hours with only the escapist for entertainment, but i have been awake and conscious for 72 hours before. (Spoiler warning: It was hell on the third day, i don't recommend it) but i generally go to sleep at ridiculous times. Between 4 and 5am is generally considered "normal" for me now, and i may or may not wake up before midday. Sometimes i only sleep for five hours, sometimes i sleep for ten hours, sometimes it's in between. I'm just a night person, i guess.

Yeah, sure, but that's bullshit. All you need is a

And being a heavy sleeper is nothing. Just some empty casings and sandviches between sheets. I once knew a pyro sleeper.

Unfortunately, I've been up late, which has made me not only more irritable that late, but also too tired to make a rational argument. I need to avoid threads that seem like they might annoy me late at night or in the morning before I've had coffee, or I'm likely to become "that guy," the internet fucktard who flames and talks out of his ass. I'm not proud of it, and I can't imagine how much worse I would be if I were to pull an all-nighter here.

There was one time I can think of where I felt justified later in my arguments, but I still felt like I could have been more civil about it, even though the other guy was being a complete ass as well.

I have trouble about this too at that time of the month. I have the PMS from Hell, you see...
I got my Neo from knowing to not click on certain types of threads and avoiding the forums all together some days.

Still, OP, does "All nigher on the Escapist" constitute IRC action? If so, then I'm guilty on so many charges.

I'm more like a spy sleeper personally.

[sub]The bed looks empty but I'm actually there! Really! Now stop saying I'm getting no sleep.[/sub]

 

[Ca3zar416]

I've spent a full allnighter just on the escapist before. Reading all sorts of old reviews and posting like crazy.

I did last semester while doing a paper for argument and research (even though I was supposed to be writing a paper. I did in the end, but still, all I did was lurk around and do nothing. Did make some random posts.
