I'm the same way, except even after a good nights sleep, I still feel tired. I think it's this building. I'm usually only tired at work. There has to be a reason why.

Same here. I think I just need to go to the gym regularly so I can have extra energy.
 
I don't think I have ever missed class or work..😕

Edit: Except for a misunderstanding or something. 😛
 
Say goodbye to much of your life.
If you lose control, that is. Things are GD addicting, that's for sure.

I missed 1 class' lecture that was held early in the morning for an entire semester. But that's because I can't wake up so early in the damn winter time.
 
I have played 2 player Dave Mirra BMX 2 on Xbox from 10pm til 5am w/ my roomie before and hadta skip my 8am. That game is SO addictive on the "high-score" mode b/c you'll go on forever trying to beat e/o's score.

They should call that game World of WarCrack.

I've stayed away from games since working.

I started playing World of Warcraft this past weekend, and really didn't know what I was doing at first. i.e. I fought with a "sharpened letter opener" my first 5 levels. Anyway, last night I started playing around 9pm and met up with a group (I mostly played alone the first 7 levels). I didn't realize how much better it was to play with a group until last night... or how much more addictive it would be. One of the group members was very nice and kept making me and the other group member bags, giving us silver, resurrecting us, etc.

About 8 hours later, I realized I had to get up for work in 3 hours. It was hard signing off, and I almost decided to call in sick today... but ended up deciding to come in because it's such a busy week. I feel dizzy/sick right now... and am probably going to do it again tonight.

Has anyone else ever missed class/called into work sick because you were up too late gaming? If so, how often?

I missed some classes playing Diablo II, but nothing serious.

I've been playing WoW since it's realease. I really like it, but unfortunately I'm falling behind 🙁 All of my friends are leveled into the 50s and I'm still sitting on 21. I need to do less fishing and more fighting!

an excellent idea. world of warcraft is just to damn fun though.

 
I missed the 2nd day of college to stay home playing Quake 2 CTF. Finally had put together a bad ass clan, we were absolutely steam rolling people. Got to like 3rd in the OGL I think. I don't regret it :thumbsup:
 
Yup, was averaging 3 hours of sleep through level 40. Now that I got the mount, I don't spend as much time playing... it definitely affected me at work. I also know of another ATer (no names 😉 ) who has called out due to WOW, you're not alone.
