I'm probably getting too old for this. My wife is probably right when she says I shouldn't be staying up so late playing my games, but when you're in the middle of that public quest and you've tried to finish the last stage 6 times, and you're so close, you KNOW this will be it.. Yeah and then its what, 4 o'clock in the morning and you have to be up in 4 hours. Eek! I can't say how many times that has happened to me. In the past this happened mostly in MMO games questing and searching for that elusive item or farming for enough gold... but lately its been alternating between the Xbox 360 and WAR.

What games on the Xbox? Heck I might have hit the jackpot cus it seems all of them keep me up all night playing: Fallout 3, Elder Scrolls Oblivion and the latest, Bioshock.. I think I played a straight 5 hour run in Bioshock the first night I cracked the case! I blame part of it on my new rocker-style gaming chair and headphones. See, I don't hear well normally (in need of hearing aids, been that way since 10 yrs old) and late at night I can't blast the sound so the ability to wear my headphones and actually follow the story lines in these games has been a new experience for me, so-to-speak. Ok so that's an exaggeration. I'd probably end up playing games til 4 am anyway but hey...

So I had a good Christmas and my only problem now is.. I can't quit my job and I can't quit sleeping. :)

Anyone else feel this way?
