Wow.
I woke up at 5am to play eq for an hour or so (because I'd rather go to bed on time with my wife than play EQ into the night), but i definitely remember the pre-marriage hardcore gaming days - staying up 72 hours to level my twink monk so I'd be ready for a future raid in sebilis for a shot at a fungi tunic, getting 10 levels in 12 hours (levels 20-30) in lake of ill omen because I had a personal fridge right next to my computer full of coca-cola and a bathroom within 15 feet...and I was kind of a wimp compared to some hardcore gamers. I was also taking advanced classes at the time...
Seriously, be careful with games. There are so many important things to experience and use your time on in life than video games, regardless how good you feel when you ding. You're just in the skinner box, pulling the lever.
It is fun to pull that lever, though...
