Gaming into the Wee Hours

Heck, even I sometimes waste about 5 hours playing only one of them. GLORIA makes me waste about 7. It's brutal and with over 60 endings.

/R/ Tokimeki Check-in. PM me some screenshots, or I could just use google image. How long is this game in general if you read each line quickly?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ayumi was what originally drew me to game, but I've now found I'm also partial to Natsuki and Makoto (above) quite a bit, although Yuki is definitely my favorite:



Her plot just seemed sweet and she had a nice amount of depth to her compared to most characters.

I think the game is a good 6-7 hours if you read everything, but I might be wrong. I tended to save and try multiple options and reloading, to determine which "direction" I wanted to head, so I might have judged the time a bit wrong. It pays to read all the text though. There isn't much of a plot, but the simple story and dialogue adds immensely to the delightful, cheery atmosphere, which is why I liked it so much.

Before Kana came along, Tokimeki Check-in was my absolute favorite as well. It was the combination of great character designs and art, cheery story and atmosphere and multiple paths that makes me love it. The music and voices are nice too, although I can't get the music to play through the game so I had to listen to it manually on my winamp

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

This is most excellent news, I must have slayed this 16 fags pretty quick eh Q?

Adds site to favorites. ^___^

So back in the day when I first played Chrono Trigger on my SNES I realized that it was suddenly like 11 PM - I had started playing at like 6 or 7 AM (I get up really early).

Just the other day I stayed up until like 2 AM playing Oblivion - and since I have mono and tend to get super tired by 10 PM, that was really late.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I remember when I first got FF8 that for the first week or so I played it nonstop for about 10 hours a day. I think I started again about 3-4 times at some point on disc 2 to make sure I didn't complete it too soon, I was that hooked. Eventually I got a massive headache and had to take it a bit easy.

As for latest staying up playing a game, it has to be some sort of Championship Manager/Football Manager, I've stayed up until like 5am playing that before just always telling myself "just one more match..." over and over. So addictive.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'll admit, Tokimeki Check-In is the only Jap sex game to interest me more than 10 minutes.

I'm not sure if I should blame good localization or what. It's probably more because it's one of the few sex games that don't have sex starting up in the middle of a conversation.

"Hello Megumi-Chan. Nice to meet y-"
*Megumi goes down on you.*

I don't think I could play an H-game all night though.

Truth. Especially when things are going well. Although, tweaking tactics and such when things aren't going well also tends to make the hours fly by.

I once sat in my chair and loaded up my Liverpool game in FM '05 at around 9pm. After what seems like an hour I glance up to the digital clock on one of the shelves and it's 2am.

I look back at my screen, and click "continue". I think that's what it's called -- haven't played it in soooooo long.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I see i'm not the only one with this problem. I once managed a 13 hour marathon. From around 6PM till 7AM the following morning. I get this problem with Oblivion now though. I'm up until at least 3AM playing after starting around 10PM.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I third Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. Lots and lots of fun pushing to get that next weapon tech. A couple of months ago I played the Valgipus IV stage about 75 times straight to level up my 3X3 techs. I realized that I could have sped up the weapon mastery/levelling up process immensely if I had only gathered Armsmasters/Statisticians BEFORE I splurged on Valgipus IV levelling. Now I'm doing it right at Field of Virtue in Celestia, and still marathoning until 3am to do it. The latest I've gone is 4 am when I suddenly realized how much damage I was causing my eyes :s

Similarly, I would stay up until 3 am to just keep trying to get jp for my techs in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.

Last time, I played Lumines until 3:30 am trying to get to Water, Flower, and Lights, but I was thrown off at the Birds skin and had died by the time I had only reached 300,000 or so points.

Years ago, I was playing Chrono Cross and I had woke up at 4 am realized that I had left Chrono Cross on at some point in Gaea's Navel and dozed off at sometime while playing it, controller still in hand.

When I do stay up now, it'll be until 1 am or 2 am. No more crazy runthroughs at night.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

When I was a kid, when I'd stay at the grandparents while my parents were gone, they let me rent a Nintendo (I wasn't allowed to own one ) and I would go pick one up at like 8 am when the store opened, then play all day, then play all night, then all day the next day until late afternoon when I would have to return it. (This was the olden days - you could only rent it for a day at a time. So, that was actually more than 24 hours straight.

I also once played Anarchy Online for 30 hours while in college. I played with the Europeans a lot, which is a bad idea if you like sleep! No more mmo's for me...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Oh man, I was literally OBSESSED with playing Oblivion... but I finally got to the point of overplayed feeling, so I could finally quit. That is NOT a game to play if you have stuff to get done with. I think I spent 4 hours straight (No breaks) one night with it this week... but I have since dropped of its graps for the time being.

Ah the fight with Luca Blight comes to mind. It was about 11:30 and my bedtime was set at 12:00AM. It took 6 attempts to kill him, and even after I bested him in the paty battles, he managed to kill me in the duel, so I had to start over again. All of this ran me well over my bedtime and I didn't hit the sack til 1:30AM.

Golden Eye and Perfect Dark were my all dayer+nighter games. You know..playing in the evening until the next morning lol.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I started Zelda 3 again earlier tonight (after finishing Disgaea), it's now 2:20 AM and I just reached the Dark World after beating Agahnim.

I had to stop, since last night I played Disgaea till 5 AM. There is something just so utterly compelling to investigating every nook and cranny of Huryle, but luckily it's easier to take a break from than Disgaea's "one more level up, then I'll stop". Plus the Item Worlds were horribly addicting too. The second you manage to level up an item you intend to use, you notice you've gotten another useful weapon you feel compelled to level up as well ;_;

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I have weekly gaming parties at my house every Friday...we regularly run from 9pm to 4am...a couple times when I get hold of a great new game (Like when I got N4 for gamecube) we'll play till sun up.
