Default Well its 2 am, and here I am playing

I did the unthinkable yestarday. I laid down just for a 5 minute nap and well 8 hours later I wake up. Its now 2 am, and I have to be at work at 6 am for a 14 hour shift. God why me?

Well since I won't be sleeping, I thought I would continue on with my game. Any other late nighters up playing or have played this late?

I have, but just in vacation times...or on weekends. Like a crisis manager I just slept about 15 minutes every 4 hours. Am I crazy ? Yes, I think so...

I’m definitely a night person. Nothing beats having the house to yourself and playing till the sun is up!
Ah, the joys of no real responsibilities

Yeah, I've played until 4 AM also, but I'm a 8-4 person at work. This game definitely has an addictive relationship with me. I'm always saying "One more turn" again and again. This game really ought to have a warning label!!!!!

I usually play early in the morning, when I don't feel awake enough to do anything constructive. But I have chronic insomnia, as well, so I often end up playing in the middle of the night when I can't sleep.

Yup, 1 - 4 a.m. is prime conquest time for me, too. Nothing like getting home from work, cracking open a Red Hook ESB and wading into enemy defense lines with tachyon cannons blazing.

Of course, I do that right after I wake up, too -- substituting orange juice for the beer, of course.

I'm night person as well, usually wife starts watching her shows on TV around 9pm,kids go to their rooms & watch TV or homework, I then, very quietly, go into other room and engage the enemy. Play until usually 1-1;30 a, when on vacation to around 4a. have to be at work at 8am mon-fri. Weekends about same as I work part time job. Sundays play at friends from 7-11 SEIV.
Not enough time in the day or night to play

just some ideas mac
