Re: You ever fall asleep while playing?

Not that I can remember. Watching TV many many times, but I usually quit whatever game I'm playing when I get sleepy.

Re: You ever fall asleep while playing?

Ive fallen asleep while playing GTA4 before. I would be driving along a hiway and then wake up with the car in some trees or stuck on a building.
in the gold old days of WoW raiding Molten Core i remember when one of the people in the 40 group would fall asleep but leave their mic on so you would hear them snoring.

Re: You ever fall asleep while playing?

I don't recall ever falling asleep while playing. I've definitely gotten tired, but shut the game down first and then went to sleep.

I have fallen asleep I think it was Assassins Creed as well This is what I wish the Kinnect could be used for. Fall asleep playing a game Kinnect detects and pauses.

Re: You ever fall asleep while playing?

Depending on how you have your PS3 controller set up, that can pause the game for you. I have mine set to 5 min of inactivity and it goes to sleep, which effectively pauses the game. I don't know if Xbox is the same way.

Re: You ever fall asleep while playing?

I know of 2 boardies that might want to chime in (if they are awake)

even more frightening is the fact that the 2 I reference are in a gaming session right now (3:00 am CST) with a 3rd who said the following earlier in this thread ....

It is such an odd feeling when you wake up during a gaming session and you don't realize where or how you got to that part in the game, lol.
good luck Scott

Re: You ever fall asleep while playing?

We made the sane decision to call it a night before anybody passed out.

Atheon is tough enough with only one expert relic holder and no Titan bubbles. I don't think we could have possibly done it with two of them in dreamland.

Re: You ever fall asleep while playing?

I dozed off earlier this year playing Telltale Game of Thrones so I got a number of default choices made for me and I got kinda lost. Perhaps not coincidentally, I set the game aside for a while and now I think I'm at least a couple episodes behind.

Re: You ever fall asleep while playing?

The only game I recall ever falling asleep on is Skyrim. I was so addicted to that game! I put some serious hours into that game!

I'd be strolling around Markarth then wake up out in the Reach somewhere being chased by a bear.

I have fallen asleep playing Madden. I also remember falling asleep playing Ocarina of Time and waking up hours later with Link just standing there.

Well in my defense, I though Skolas had Rum and Coke burns this week. Turns out my guardian had them.

Re: You ever fall asleep while playing?

Used to happen when I was working crazy hours at McDonald's, I'd try to play something to unwind and just pass out.

In more recent years, my wife got me to play Final Fantasy 11 with her and her brother and I wasn't super into it, so sometimes when we would be running across a large expanse I'd find myself dozing off and she have to yell at me from the other room to pay attention.
