    a java verison of the auld arcade game pang,it infuriates me no end tho what with the ball hitting you the minute game starts and killing you :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,031 ✭✭✭Lockstep


    I just bought Guild Wars.

    I'm not impressed.


  • Registered Users Posts: 68 ✭✭CrossBreed


    And how can you not like a game where you can have armies of GIANTS!

    Mirror would be a great person to ask. Usually because when we play, I'm the one with the army of giants. :cool: :pac:

    The ultimate up all night game: World Of Warcraft!

    I played it for about two months during the summer and most nights didnt stop playing til about 6/7 in the morning!! Its addicting, then when you stop playing you want more!!!

    Its like heroine, 'cept for nerds.

    I'd call you a giant smelly nerd, but actually I just re-installed Flight Sim X.

    It's like a mixture of heroin, crack, caffeine, nicotine and chocolate in terms of addictiveness. Far too easy to get way too sucked in. Be glad you only played for 2 months!

    Caffeine and WoW go hand in hand though. >.<

    Used to play BATTLEFIELD 1942till the eyes were hanging outta my head, and played a lot of bf2 also but 1942 was the first and the greatest, really wish the bf team would make an updated WW2 game, would surely lure me back to gaming.

    You'll pry my excessive amounts of coffee from my cold dead hands. WoW has long since been abandoned, I can't afford booze, I shouldn't be eating chocolate because I'm on a diet.. but my caffeine... my precious industrial-strength caffeine...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,630 ✭✭✭Einstein


    yep im WoW man...havn't been to bed till at least 2am for the last god knows how long...

    There is no cure. I heard of a guy who chopped off both his hands to kill his wow addiction. He now plays using his face.

    Haha, been there. I spent SO long getting 4 hours sleep a night when I was playing WoW, then I went back to college, into final year - and I still get 4 hours a night!

    Sleep is for the weak :p

    Dungeon Keeper 2 played for 24 hours straight minus bathroom break and dinner so 23 hours prolly....

    But up all night ... any bioware RPG, NWN 1&2 (2 sucks), Metal gear solid on ps1


  • Registered Users Posts: 68 ✭✭CrossBreed


    I downloaded "Streets of Rage" the other day. It kept me busy for a little while.


  • Registered Users Posts: 516 ✭✭✭Gloom


    Streets of Rage :D
    Hated the
    Blaze Clones
    on Stage 5 :(


    Anyone ever play MapleStory.
    I found it addicting. Spent all of TY/5th year up all night playing it. Might be the reason I am repeating D:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,610 ✭✭✭Lord Nikon


    Oh, Call of Duty 4 has kept me up until, eh, time to go to work now. Clocked up some serious hours on that. Some nights up until 7am and then leave for work. Worse still, yesterday I got home from work at 9am(I work shift), got online and started playing, finished at 3:30pm, and got 3 hours sleep before i started another night shift.

    Than there is TRAVIAN, and anti-christ of my life at the moment.
    4 accounts on 1 server
    2 accounts on another server
    1 more on another server

    This game needs 24 hours a day attention, or forget it, you will lose. Massively multiplayer game, that gets me worried before I sleep thinking i will get attacked, and waking up 2 to 3 times a night to send out attacks, and I'm still crap at it.

    My worse vice out of all my gaming, is my eating habbits. Your either forget to eat, feel sick cause you havent eaten and dont want to eat, or get immersed in a game that eating is a waste of time and I'm too busy killing people to worry about food.

    The food I do eat is crap. Pepsi Max, Pringles, peanuts, choccy minirolls, sweets in general.

    Ah, i need sleep now, cause im tired but the internet is at home aswell, and Call of Duty is screaming my name, and, oh, I give up :)


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 25,871 Mod ✭✭✭✭Doctor DooM


    I have street fighter 4.


    It's sitting in it's limited edition box, looking at me.


    I won't have access to my ps3 until Sunday night.

    I am in work late shift monday.

    Well, that's a night of zero sleep for me right there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,677 ✭✭✭Zwillinge


    Stayed up til 5am playing Lego Batman on the Batman Dark Knight XBox 360. It felt right :cool:

    Playing oldskool. I'm playing The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap on a barbie pink Game Boy Micro. I'd forgotten how awesome that game is :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 48 fergusm76


    Being a shift-worker, my time is precious, so when I should be sleeping during the day I'm playing LotRO (Lord of the Rings Online) and on days off it's usually 12 hours give or take :p

    I was so wise to give it up 2 years ago.

    such a fool to pick it back up 2 days ago.

    The Ogame. Sonnofabitch. The fcuking Ogame. So much for sleep, farewell, I hardly knew ye!

    O____O


    Fleetcrash?

    <_<

    Moonchance??

    >_>

    Farm Raid???????

    OwO

    GYAH!!!!!!

    I blame It Tralee for hosting a private ogame server. The only thing that kept me away was ogame.org made you pay for all the premium features. Tralee has them all for Free! FREE DAMMIT!

    What have I done?!?!?

    Ive been up all night bashing neighbours planets: these Tralee feckers dont guard their res: I live in an awesome time zone to wreak havoc.

    I'm so out of the gaming loop at the moment, I didn't even know Empire Total War was coming out. *sigh*

    Wish Starcraft 2 would hurry up and come out...


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 80,856 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    starcraft 2 the first installment is out on september 25th.

    Ah I'm fairly out of the loop, but more by design than accident.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,629 ✭✭✭raah!


    What a lovely topic this is. Really takes me back to my age of empires life threatening gaming addiction :P. Hopefully I can get some all night-nerd-fests in when it comes to my easter holidays.

    But atm I'm trapped in dublin with a....some kind of business lap top. I also share the excitement expressed regarding street fighter 4, my brother is getting it, and I've just been watching random clips of it on youtube all week.

    oh well, i might as well submit and start it up


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,644 ✭✭✭✭nesf


    Empire Total War should fill the time nicely I think. Dawn of War 2 disappointed and I was very much looking forward to it. :(

    True, its definetly not a game worth shelling out full whack for, but i still like it in some ways...... Its different to the original but i like how its more tactical with some RPG elements mixed in. Still though, cant beat base building and amassing a huge army and crushing the opposition :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,497 ✭✭✭✭Dragan


    Skullmonkeys.
    Jet Set Radio Future
    Pain
    Little Big Planet
    God of War 1 and 2
    Black
    Lemmings
    Megalomania

    If you haven't played any of them you are dead to me.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 80,856 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    Im playing dawn of war 2 at the moment.I like it very tactical :),only thing I dont like is how the missions are very varied and you cant get any tanks in the single player,im trying to finish it for wednesday so I can give all my attention to empire total war :D.
