Bonus question: What’s the longest period of time you’ve ever stayed awake continuously?

Andy McAdams: Probably just a repeat of last weekend – Valheim and World of Warcraft. I’m a creature of habit.

Bonus Question: I think it was 36 hours? From 7 AM-ish one day and I worked through until 7-ish the following the day (then when I finally got to bed, proceeded to get paged at about 7 times by the same person who didn’t seem to understand the concept of “you have the wrong pager number”).

Brianna Royce (@nbrianna, blog): I’ve been kind of obsessed with this dumb farming game you guys. I need to play something else but the strategy combined with building and decorating just sucked me in. I have even neglected Star Wars Galaxies Legends this week. I might dip into City of Heroes. We’ll see.

I can’t really remember… I have managed insomnia, but even I will pass out eventually. My guess would be around 45-50 hours (third shifts, college, video games, labor, etc.). Not smart.

Chris Neal (@wolfyseyes, blog): There’s another RP event happening in Final Fantasy XIV this weekend that I’ll be a part of, and I want to try to peek my head in to the Outriders demo at some point, but that is kind of about it. I really want to do some Elite: Dangerous trucking but I don’t know if I’ll have the time.

I think the longest I’ve been awake was about 16 or 17 hours driving from Pennsylvania to Virginia thanks to holiday traffic. By the time I was nearly home, I was hallucinating little shadowy bunnies running across the road and road signs hopping forward into position when my headlights shone on them. I would not recommend doing that.

Eliot Lefebvre (@Eliot_Lefebvre, blog): There’s stuff to review this weekend as well as my usual FFXIV stuff, and that’ll pretty much make for my limited time this weekend. Mostly I’m looking forward to sleeping.

My longest period without sleeping was probably 48 hours or so in college, since my roommate was a computer science major who tended to go long stretches crunching on a project that left me with few choices but staying awake alongside him. My insomnia made staying up relatively easy.

Sam Kash (@thesamkash): I’m wrapping up the last few secrets left to unlock in Ikenfell. Also I saw a new game released on Steam called Rogue Heroes that looks like a four player co-op Zelda SNES game. Stick enough nostalgia gaming key words together and you have my money!

I think the longest I ever started awake was around 30 hours or so. It was for my final project my senior year and it had to get done to graduate!

Tyler Edwards (blog): I’ve got a Curse of Strahd game on Saturday, and I was thinking of checking out the Outriders demo.

Bonus question: About 24 hours. By the end I thought I was a hummingbird of some kind. (Not really, but I was pretty loopy.)

Pierre, patron: My gaming program is basically the same as last week. Final Fantasy XIV is still my MMO of choice and I’m enjoying my time in Eorzea. I’m also continuing my adventures in Persona 5, and keep getting amazed by this fantastic game!

Bonus question: I think the longest I’ve stayed awake is 36 to 38 hours, when I was younger and we did all-nighters playing pen and paper D&D with friends during school vacations. And you MOP readers, what’s new for you on the gaming front this weekend?

Every Saturday, join the Massively OP community and staff for What Are You Playing, our roundup of what MMORPGs and other games we’re hoping to play this weekend (with a bonus question or two for our amusement). Tell us what you’re up to! Go off-topic! And don’t forget to have fun!
