I can fall asleep anywhere and doing anything, seriously. I've slept countless times with the DS on my face when I wake up in the morning. I use to fall asleep playing WoW and since my finger is always on the button W, I tend to fall asleep, hold down W, run forward without knowing and then commence to wiping the group/raid all the time.

LOL waaaay too many times. The last time it happened to me was in Lost Odyssey. My couch is so damn comfy that I'll just pass out on it without even realizing. Next thing I know, I've been in battle for an hour! Thank god for turn-based RPGs sometimes. :zaru

No... A good game will keep your attention. Plus, a good gamer knows when it is time to save and quit. Stay in school kids! G.I. Joeeeeeee!:nuts

yea... it's never happened to me. If I play a good video game, it might be for most of my day. But, deng... Ya gotta know when to stop... find a save point and QUIT! Don't want to over do it toooo much... There's better things to do!

LOL yeah.

I remember waking up one day hearing the "GAME OVER" theme for FFX-2 and cussing up a storm because I realized I'd fallen asleep in a random battle and gotten my ass kicked when I hadn't saved in like two hours, haha.

Once or twice playing Pokemon Crystal (on my first year on a GBA)a few years ago when I was playing on the game while sitting in bed.

There were times when I wandered off to take a nap just for a little bit but ended up falling asleep. I've bonked my head on the keyboard once or twice sleepily but I have never actually fallen asleep while at the keyboard or while holding the controls of some game. I remember one time when I was playing WoW the raid leader fell asleep on one of the bosses. >.>

Never.

Looking back though, there have been some close calls. I remember awhile back when my bed was positioned right in front of my bedroom tv, I was playing Final Fantasy 8 and dozing off. I remember skipping some dialogue scenes so I could just save XD.

Can't say that's ever happened to me, video games can keep me up all night because they're too stimulating. I have to read or do homework before bed or else I have a hell of a time getting to sleep. Just last week I didn't have any homework one night and I played Okami from sunset to sunrise. When I finally decided to go to bed I just lay there for an hour with video game music in my head.

Not really. If you are trying to play Ninja Gaiden 2 on path of the master ninja you'll never leave your game on. Trust me.

Only one time, I can remember. I was on WoW at about 6 am, after staying up all night. I was waiting for my friend to buy stuff so we could go through an instance. He was taking FOREVER, so I just laid my head down on the desk for a quick rest.... next thing I knew, it was 12 pm.

I've never fallen asleep playing a game- it's too much fun and actiony for me to drift off.

I fell asleep playing Mario Kart...I must have got lapped like 1,000 times. Also back when I first got a PS2 I didn't have a memory card so I had to play Metal Gear 2 without turning it off...
