Games you lose sleep for

[ArcadianTrance]

Ok I'm gonna start this off with a cleverly placed disclaimer; I checked the search engine for this type of thread but didn't find any.

Anyway I was just thinking about how sometimes I get so wrapped up in a game I don't eat or sleep the entire weekend. This naturaly led me to the conclusion "Damn it! I'm so obsessive". But also I was curious what games (if any) makes all of you stay up when you should sleep, or skip meals?

Legend of Zelda usually gets me, some JRPGs as well.

Left 4 Dead. I always stay up way longer then I intend to.

 

[Liverandbacon]

Fallout 1 and 2, Mass Effect, KOTOR, UT99, and more others than I care to mention.

I started a thread a while ago along a similar theme: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.60909?page=1 Bit of a shameless bump there

I'd say most recently would probably be Fallout 3.

 

[ArcadianTrance]

Fallout 3 and Left 4 Dead come to mind.

Good ones I've lost a supper or two to left 4 dead.

 

[jewru]

fall out 3, GTA 4 , and Oblivion almost killed me from sleep deprivation

 

[Kyuumi]

Definately Last Remnant, haven't slept much playing that, same with Fallout 3 and NFS: Undercover.

Team Fortress 2 is a killer, but what's worse for me are the even smaller games where you always want to play one more game. Just one more. Then another and another...

These would be Geometry Wars and Galcon.

Oh, I'm sorry I didn't see it when I searched

I distinctly remember staying up well past midnight one December night many years ago with my younger sister in an effort to finish Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie on the SNES once and for all. It was awesome.

These days, it's usually either Super Smash Bros. or Halo that keep me up.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

Freelancer did it the worst to me actually. Plenty of games have had me staying up past the time I ought to be heading to bed though, recently it was Deadspace, Fable 2 and Fallout 3. I reactivated my Warhammer Account and played as the empire tank over the weekend and I was up until the wee hours of the morning but that really isn't anything to laud Warhammer for as I almost always have terrible sleeping habits on weekends.

 

[The_Deleted]

Fallout 3 and GTA.

Big games get me, I get so immersed I don't realize I haven't eaten for 10 hours until my hand start shaking exsessivly.

 

[Avatar Roku]

Fallout 3 and Left 4 Dead come to mind.

Agreed. Last night, I wouldn't let myself go to sleep until I found Evergreen Mills and the Terrible Shotgun in Fallout, not that I was really forcing myself. L4D's a killer too.

 

[wazzaman]

oblivion and cod4.

 

[LordCraigus]

Red Orchestra, Soldiers: Heroes of WWII and any of the Blitzkrieg engine games I have. They're the biggest culprits for me losing sleep, even after I've stopped and decided to go to bed.

 

[Flour]

TF2, CSS, CoD4 and WoW.

I've stopped playing all of those, but I'm going to renew my WoW subscription now that I know how to limit myself.(I used to be obsessed, but I stopped caring what happens in games)

I'm just glad to see I'm not alone.
