Do you still do all-nighters?

I sleep at night no exceptions (seriously I don't go out at night), so if so, its during the day. Played Inquisition from around 7am to 4pm or so for parts of it. More exhausting than working. I'll keep doing it as games come out. So definitely for Dying Light, GTA V, and Witcher 3.

Me neither, even if its something I really like such as Skyrim, I cant do long single sessions anymore.
However, when I was 13 I discovered its possible to beat SNES FF4 in 8 and a half hours. I did it over a nice sunny Saturday.
Mom was not impressed. 🙁
 
There has only been 1 time when I did an all nighter - to play the original Bard's Tale.

However - when the famdamily is away or it's my day off from work - I'll do an "all-dayer" and play video games. 🙂
 
The only time I did an over nighter was over 10 years ago when Jak 3 released. Ran through the whole thing in a single night. I value sleep though, so that's why.

When I worked in flooring, I had one job that took place at night, but I also had my high school during the day, less than an hour sleep in between. Lasted about 2 weeks before the job was done. Never again!!!
 
Yeah, but I'm 22 and seeing as I have to start a real career in June I'm pulling as many as a damn well please in this my last semester. #thuglyfe
 
used to pull all nighters with evercrack 🙂 I did one a couple weeks ago with DA:I have also done a couple with TOR with my guild.

I'm a gamer; tried to fight at one point.....but 😀
 
I played bf:bc2 for about 12 hours in college, but not overnight (that I remember). Don't think I ever did an all nighter with games, just get too tired to actually be doing something that requires some thought and input.
 
A few buddies of mine and myself will 1-2 year have a gaming weekend. That usually entails picking a MP game for the weekend (Diablo3, NWN, SW:TOR are a couple we did) and just playing through from Friday after work (5pm-ish) to Sunday around noon. Usually involves plenty of Red Bull (mixed with booze, of course) and snacks. Its a lot of fun, and folks just take a nap here and there if they need to. Definitely a blast. 🙂
 
Did my first ever all nighter when Diablo 3 came out, played all through the night and didn't sleep, and ever since then I've been doing them every now and then. Did a couple playing Minecraft, one player StarCraft 2 and another playing The Witcher Enhanced edition (again), man that game lends itself well to being played through the night.

My last all nighter was last saturday playing neo scavenger. I had gone out with some friends and came home around 2am. Yeah...
 
well... on weekdays i normally go to sleep at 1:30 / 2 am and wake up 7:30/8 to go to work

no fridays/saturdays i do try to play as much as i can since i cant spend a whole fridays/saturdays night on myself and my gaming. Those nights i might start at 9/10pm and continue to 5 at most

Not many games do that to me, but from time to time i get hooked with one. Nowadays i do it with Destiny on the ps4 and (now not as frequently as it used to be) with hearthstone. Start playing "some matches" at 2am is an unconscious mistake 😛

Not really since I moved in with the GF. Sometimes still do when she's out of town. Part of "growing up," I suppose?

Growing up? Never. I still play weekly sessions of quake 2 competitive play and recently been playing Mortal Kombat Ultimate, damn that game is fun! I could never stay up on work nights like I could 10 years ago and I'm only 30. I'm not sure how many times I stayed up all night doing hardware updates or installs of windows when I was in high school.
 
There were many times, in my early to mid 20's, when I would play Everquest all night long. I would literally play until I was having trouble seeing (eyes would get all gunky/blurry), so I would have to stop (pretty much always after the sun had come up). I would get out of my computer chair, and take the couple steps over to my bed (computer in bedroom) and crash. When I'd wake up, I'd take those two steps back to the chair, log back in, and resume where I'd left off. Those were the days.... (not)
