Anyone ever played a game that wrecked your sleep?

[MueTai]

The culprit right now is Advance Wars Dual Strike. It seemed like an innocent enough game, until I went to bed the first night I played it (2 nights ago). Holy crap, the music won't leave my head and every time I close my eyes all I see is little soldiers and tanks positioning themselves around a battlefield. All I can think of when I'm in bed is different strategies and formations, and it's even invaded my dreams. I seriously think I'm going insane.

[Hangatýr]

Sid Meier's Pirates!

That game stole so many of my nights.

[martryn]

Both Tetris Attack and the various incarnations of Guitar Hero/Rock Band. Fucking Guitar Hero. You play it for a few hours at a party or something, and then you close your eyes to sleep, all you see are colored circles flying by.

[Amanomurakumo]

Tetris. Everytime I would close my eyes, falling blocks is all I would see.

[Sephiroth]

Monster Rancher, Disgaea, and Gears of War.:blink

[ItzDestiny]

Kingdom Heart

My first impression of this game, was crap. Squaresoft + Disney = Disaster.

BUT, this game got me addicted like hell. Leading to moment where i couldn't go to sleep, until i finish the game (take in mind, that this was also a school week)

[Eevihl]

WoW
I still wake up at night screaming at night because I wiped in my dreams.

[Tachikoma]

Football Manager and Phantasy Star Online.

[Roy]

A lot of games. Don't feel like naming them.

[Tunafish]

Sonic the Hedgehog : Next Gen

Went through hours and hours of frustration and before I knew it the morning sun always cracked through my windows.

There's also FFXI : Online.

My sister was unhealthily obsessed with Tetris.

[CrazyMoronX]

The first time I played Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, I stayed up each night until well into the morning playing it. I didn't put it down for weeks.

[Zil]

Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox.

[Rakiyo]

Final Fantasy 8,9,10
Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock
Gears of War
Marvel VS Capcom 2
Naruto Ultimate Ninja 1-4

[Skotty]

Chrono Cross is keeping me up way past my limits :lmao But's it's so fun I don't care!
There've been more though, pretty much it happens whenever I play a game for the first time ;>

[Tachikoma]

Crono Cross fan :iria

[Akuma]

Wild arms I forgot which one

OOT - when I was going for the three heart challenge

[Ssj3_Goku]

Everquest

O the wood elfs always entered my dreams :(

[CrazyMoronX]

You know what else? Starcraft and Diablo II.

I stayed up for 48 hours playing Starcraft once.

[Weebl]

Diablo 2 and Heroes of Might and Magic 3.

Good times.

[Naruto]

World Of Warcraft :(

[Clovis15]

Yes, when I was playing Dwarf Fortress I got so wrapped up in it for two weeks that I almost didn't eat or sleep during that time. Before it was done my dwarves had not only endless hordes of goblins and orcs, but also a dragon to boot; well, more like the endless array of death traps I had built killed them. You don't really need a massive army where there's an array of traps outside of your front door over 20 deep in radius, plus your front door leads to a long winding path way filled with self reloading weapon traps. Then one day, after two weeks of it, I realized I didn't care anymore and moved on with my life again.

Fortunately this was all during a summer break while I was still going to college, and not after I had actually taken up a job in the work force. I will never again touch that game for fear of repeating the obsessive feat a second time.

[Lord Yu]

I played Xenosaga III for 12 hours straight when I first got it.

[Emperor Joker]

Final Fantasy X...must kill Yunalesca....

[Falco-san]

Poeple aren't getting the OP.
He didn't say what game got you playing all night, because for me, that would be too many.

He asks what game hanted your sleep?

To me, WoW.
I was thinking on how to improve my DPS, and than in my sleep I kept muttering somehting about my rotations, my roommate thought I was insane.

[Mr. Obvious]

pokemon haunted my sleep however it didnt end there i played it aot when i was younger then after i would play it for a long time after i turned it off i would still hear the sounds of the game in my head it sucked...the weirdest thing is when i got disgaea for the psp after i turned that off i heard pokemon sounds as well so i guess the disgaea sounds were similiar to pokemons so it triggered something to do that

[Shoddragon]

Mass Effect: I would play it ( and still play it) for hours and hours and hours and hours until I did as many side missions as possible. I still haven't completed all of them and I've beaten the game four times. its really fun.

Star Wars battlefront 2 back on the original Xbox. I played it from 5:00 PM to 6:45 AM in the morning. and I still wanted to keep on playing. Damn it was fun flying through space and blowing up a giant starship from the inside.

Halo 2 on the original Xbox: Back before the actual zombie gametype in Halo 3, me and some friends decided to play a game called zombies. 1 person was the zombie, and everyone else were the humans. you could kill the zombie using only a pistol I think and everyone that was killed by a zombie had to switch over to the zombie side ( all zombies also had swords). eventually the aomzibes would overrun the humans and win. eventually this spread out to my friends' friends, and their friends, and now there is a game type in Halo 3 called Infection I believe.

Left 4 Dead: In fact, I am probably going to play Left 4 Dead in a few minutes on my Xbox 360. I haven't played it in a while, but playing as the infected is so much fun. Survivor mode is fun as hell, having to fight tank after tank with smokers and hunters all around is fun. I play for about 5 hours at a time although the most was about 12 hours ( not straight however).

[Hentai]

Zelda and Pokemon, it haunts me sometimes :uwah

[Goodfellow]

Team Fortress 2. From dusk to dawn, STAB STAB STAB

[Lucius]

games normally haunt me when i start them and play too much in 1 session and go straight to bed. there's been too many to list here^^. first one that haunted me was prolly diablo 1. i learned to control it tho (playing too long that is) or maybe i just grew out of it. i'm happy i didn't dream of necromorphs when i played through dead space^^

[Solon Solute]

-Star Ocean:Till The End of Time ( This game consumed my soul )

[crazymtf]

Monster hunter. When i was really into it i think of new ways to take down dragons and new armored i needed and shit when i was about to go to sleep.

Halo 2 - Thought about it like 85% of the time *Other 15% easy to guess*, and yeah just haunted me for like a month. Because of all the competition with my friend and me in doubles.

[L. Lawliet]

[Judge Gabranth]

World of Warcraft and Final fantasy 10.

poor bastards :uwah

[Gymnopedie]

When I first played LoZ: Majora's Mask, I'd raged for days and days and days. :D:

[EverEndingStory]

Pokemon Silver, when it first came out. Damn Kanto, just when I thought I was free, you pull me back in.

[Deathbringerpt]

A few more of mine are...- God of War 2 (Titan Mode)

After playing God of war 1 and 2 in God and titan mode respetcaly, i can safely say of God of War 3 has a npc saving segment, i will bomb Santa Monica.

Then again, i felt like a fucking king when i actually passed both of them.

[Legend]

Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit, A few months ago i spent 24hrs playing it.

[Helix]

Only when I use to play FFXI.

I remember the lack of sleep I got just from waiting for the time of death for Shikigami Weapon to get my Yinyang Robe. Ah, one time I woke up from a dream that I actually got it... then I was sad.

Good riddance!

[Black Wraith]

Crush on the PSP.

Damn I started having dreams of messing around in my brain.......

[Yakushi Kabuto]

Pretty much any game I played excessively. World of Warcraft is one of the tops. I think about how my auctions are doing, I see visions of running away from void zones and capping nods in AB. Games that I watch people play a lot also have an affect on me though. When my bf played Eternal Darkness all I could think about was turning into a ghoul and puzzles.

[Beastly]

Got really addicted to call of duty. One day, stayed up to 4 in the morning.

[Seany]

Pokemon, DragonQuest ;D

It happened with Metal Gear Solid 3 for me. It's seriously freaky and reality bends slightly.

[Krazus]

Red Alert 2 The music still haunts me :argh

I had the same problem with the first two games... I felt I was mocked by the game if I lost a mission or got a low grade... I too would think of new startegies to beat the games, but sadly I could never do it :(

[SynthesisGuitar]

yeah, just last night i was kickin ass in fight night round 4,
and i was up till like 5 in the morning,
wait im hungry and still tired

[Sephiroth]

Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit, A few months ago i spent 24hrs playing it.

You lost sleep over that game? really? :huh

[Damaris]

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World.

I was so desperate to finish it before school started up I played it straight for 48 hours without sleeping. By the time I got to the final boss fight my contacts were fuzzing over and I could barely see. I finally beat it though, and then I took a nap. The same thing happened with the original Tales of Symphonia too, and for a month afterward I kept seeing save points out of the corner of my eye.

[ShadowReij]

Every new game I get my hands on.

Worsts were Golden Sun 1 & 2, Sonic Adventure 1 & 2, and LoZ:OoT, MM, WW, TP

[MueTai]

lol yeah, I've recently discovered that turning the music off dramatically reduced the effect it has on my sleep. Kinda sucks to play a game without music, but it's worth it for now. :zaru

[Setulge]

102 Dalmatines... but that a long long time ago...:grin
but now... American Mcgee's Alice... those damn card guard are allways coming...:iik

[Tachikoma]

So just to reiterate, Football Manager will have you waking up at night, rambling off tactics and the next big star to sign.

[Vault]

Onimusha games :argh

[Shoddragon]

I actually had a dream I was a Boomer in Left 4 dead and my friend was Louis but with a red afro. A witch ( some evil girl in school) was attempting to kill him so I went to save him and I turned into the Tank and killed the Witch. BUT, I also knocked my friend off the building and he died :(. For some reasons, a lot of my friends have dreams about this specific friend ( with red hair) where he dies or is killed by them.

[Ice Prince]

I always had these strange Final Fantasy related dreams if I played for a long time (which I did sometimes when it was summer time and school was out back in the day).

[9Tail-Hokage]

Most recently it's been Gears of War 2. One time I did a seven hour session with a bunch of XBL friends. And it started at 10pm. It was a long and awesome. We only lost once in that whole time.
