It's happened to me with countless games, i feel so compelled and wrapped up in a game i find myself thinking about it just before sleep overcomes me and being lured to play it as soon as i wake up.

Anyone else find themself doing this?

Something along, the lines of this.

Sometimes I game into the wee hours of the night, only to end up sleeping for a couple of hours and continuing.

If I've been playing an amazing game and I really want to get back into it, yes.

I'm finding myself waking up at 1-2pm. But i've got nothing to do, no job/school, and i find many friends wake up around then, so i've got no incentive to wake up.

Nibroc420, your signature is great :lol:

Anyway, I usually check e-mail & view some "adult material" before I play a game.

Do you start gaming as soon as you wake up?

wood_duck

LOL that's possible only in my dreams.

I have done it before though, on weekends for example, just not frequently. It actually works out better for me to game late into the night on occasion, when everyone else is asleep, and just lose sleep for that day/night/whatever. Too much going on in the morning usually.

I used to when I was younger, when I was still in school I would play 2 games of NCAA football 99 before school and a ton after, I played a dynasty with michigan for 21 years and florida state for 15 more, playing every game of course.

I don't really do it anymore, although i have way more games that when I was younger.

Never. Wake up -> Jogging (or other exercises) -> Shower -> Breakfast -> Turn on computer -> E-mail -> News on the internet and then, if there's nothing else to do, i'm starting to play a bit. I just want to have a life, not only games ;)

Nope, I either have work or school, depending on the time of year. I'm more of a night person anyways so if I have nothing to do the next day which is rare, I'll game into the night rather than wake up early to game.

Back in the day I used to play Diablo and Starcraft in the morning before I went to the school bus, it was fun. These days most of my gaming is done at night, if I do any gaming at all.

Rarely. Maybe 5% of the days I wake up, I'll get on a game right away. 85%, I start my day off by browsing Gamespot and other sites. The other 10% goes to the days where I do reasonable things right away like eat breakfast or have some coffee if I'm still tired, maybe read a book a little.

wood_duck

Unless I work here is my routine:

9:00 wake up

9:01-10:00 - browse gamespot forums

10:00-10:30 shower and eat

10:30-? start playing games

Well, I'm not young, and I don't game much in the mornings, but I noticed that there were a lot of younger middle school and high school students at GameSpot. I don't remember ever having a single productive summer when I was that young. Ah~, to be young and innocent and carefree...

Didn't mean any offense to anyone. I was just wondering how everyone found the time for it. I guess it could be fun to try sometimes on my off days. May be I'll try Mass Effect or something
