You don't know my family. My room does not belong to me, and any attempts to even close my door to get some privacy are met with shouting matches. It's part of why I tend to not have a problem with stay up late and sleeping in while they are up and about >.>

This combination will easily keep you awake for as long as you require.

I was considering Cracked, but as for the others I've read all I care for on TVTropes (After about a month of flipping through pages while bored I've seen just about every article worth linking), and I tend to watch YGOTAS and RvB when I'm tired and want to sleep (It's a comfort thing; I have a hard time sleeping without some level of noise in the background, and if it's something I've watched several times before I know I'm not missing anything new and easily fall asleep).

Plus I've seen all of the ZP videos, and I don't care for Unskippable, sadly.

For the best one you basically have to find every item in the game (not TOO hard to find, though) Help me find out if it's only the Nostalgia that makes me think it's good.

Another Nostalgia game would be Guardian Legend for the NES. It mixes top-down exploration with vertically scrolling shmup action. It's fairly long for an action based game of the NES era

I once pulled an all-nighter trying to get a Platinum award on the final challenge missions inTimeSplitters 2 and 3. I did after innumerable tries.

You could also play Silent Hill 2. You will not be able to sleep as long as this game haunts you.

EDIT: Another time I pulled an all-nighter playing Condemned. Good times. That was at a gamer meeting some friends and I had at my place.

I'll definately check those out. I like to watch TAS's, and just recently heard about Guardian Legend from that; it looked interesting, to say the least. Sadly I already have all the medals for TS 2 and 3, but I've heard of Demon's Crest yet never checked it out before. I'll look into it.

Though I'll probably never touched Condemned or the Silent Hill series, though. Anything that even REMOTELY sounds like it's designed to scare me I tend to give a wide berth.
