Describe Just One More Level Here, as soon as you beat that boss... Just one more level after that... Now just beat this boss... You just want to fiddle about with the new weapon the boss dropped... Crap, is the sun coming up already? Basically this is when people stay up way later than they should because they're having so much fun with a game. After all, most games aren't designed to be over quickly, so they encourage long play sessions if the player is interested enough. Now while this can be an occasional thing, this can be caused by being addicted to a game, and in fiction often is a form of Compressed Vice. Some games deal with this by Anti Poop-Socking. Some encourage it by restricting saving or, in the worst cases, pausing. Compare Crack is Cheaper (the hobby equivalent), TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life (the equivalent for This Very Wiki), Archive Binge, Wiki Walk. Not to be confused with The Tetris Effect (which is an effect of this trope, not the trope itself). Now, even though this is Truth in Television, examples are limited to In-Universe, since all but the shortest games can do this in Real Life. There's no point to listing a game that can merely do this. Also, examples are about games only. Other media are covered by separate tropes. |

In The Reality Bug the world of Veelox is slowly crumbling because most of the citizens are residing in an alternate-world fantasy game, and dying off in the game, one by one. The game was basically intended to cause this — it lets people live out their fantasies while eliminating needs like food and drink. | |

Wonder Woman (1987): Kris Lazarus seems physically incapable of setting down his game console, though he will lower it briefly to interact with others, and is only seen without it after he's been knocked unconscious with fatal injuries. When his father loses his mind to grief and recreates Kris as an AI this seems to be the only thing he knew for sure about his son, as the AI is entirely obsessed with games. | |

Civilization's sci-fi brother, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, is just as bad, complete with the options after you've beaten the game consisting of "Good, I'm done, now go away!" and "C'mon, lemme play a couple more turns!" And if you try to quit, you hear the immortal plea: "Please don't go. The drones need you. They look up to you." This game's acronym is SMAC for a reason. | |

In the episode "Make Love, Not Warcraft", the boys did nothing but play World of Warcraft for weeks, becoming grotesquely fat and acne-ridden as a result. This one is a double-example: they did all of this so that they could level up enough to beat someone who ALSO did this, literally having never once logged off since launch, and somehow had developed the ability to kill player characters, even when not flagged for PVP and on the same side no less. So what do they do once they achieve this godly status along with the Sword of 1000 Truths? Go back to playing the rest of the game like nothing happened... | |

In one year of Penny Arcade's "The Annual 'We're Right' Awards", they gave Final Fantasy Tactics Advance the "Just One More Turn Wow Is It Really 4 AM?" Award. They have quite a few strips about this subject, such as the time Gabe is introduced to Minecraft, or how he had to quit World of Warcraft because it was "a job that was fucking killing me!" "One win, and then bed." Except not. |

The Civilization series lampshades this trope. The advertisement surrounding Civ 4 uses the phrase "one more turn" as a Madness Mantra, including starting a fake site for Civilization-holics called "No More Turns". When you reach the "end of history" (win or lose), the options given to you are "End game" and "Just... one... more... turn!" Civ 4 also included, in the options menu, an alarm, that you could set to go off at a set time or after a certain number of hours had elapsed. How effective it is is doubtful, but bless them for trying. Civilization's sci-fi brother, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, is just as bad, complete with the options after you've beaten the game consisting of "Good, I'm done, now go away!" and "C'mon, lemme play a couple more turns!" And if you try to quit, you hear the immortal plea: "Please don't go. The drones need you. They look up to you." This game's acronym is SMAC for a reason. Galactic Civilizations: "A few more turns wouldn't hurt, would it?" The game company's convention, Firaxicon, gave out T-Shirts with "One More Turn" on the back. |

Lizzie McGuire: Gordo becomes addicted to Dwarflord, a Bland-Name Product fantasy game with, from what we see, elements of Dungeons & Dragons, Magic: The Gathering and Warhammer, causing his friends to administer amateur therapy on him to cure him. It's also apparently a case of I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin!, as Gordo looks absolutely exhausted due to not having eaten or slept for days because he's too busy playing Dwarflord, and when Lizzie and Miranda ask if he's feeling okay, he angrily brushes them off, too busy looking for things he can sell (or steal) so he can buy more Dwarflord cards. |

The Cramp Twins: In "Sugar Zombie", Wayne becomes addicted to a beat-em-up video game called "Toxic Mutoid Zombie Squasher". The first thing he does is sell Lucian's printer to a secondhand computer shop to purchase the game, and once he sells the printer, Dorothy catches Horace playing "Toxic Mutoid Zombie Squasher", and she forces Wayne to return the game and get his money back from selling Lucian's printer. However, because Wayne "behaved himself", Horace decides to purchase the game for his portable game console. He progressively gets too addicted to the game that he ends up neglecting all of his amenities, becomes an actual zombie and nearly gets himself killed in the process; near the end of the episode, Horace plays the same game Wayne was playing throughout the episode and becomes hooked on it for real. | |

Kaeloo: Stumpy is addicted to video games despite being horrible at them. The addiction is so bad that when Kaeloo temporarily takes away his console in "Let's Play Simon Says", all he can do is crawl on the floor while weakly saying "My console..." until she gives it back. Kaeloo herself becomes a victim of this trope in Episode 100 after Stumpy shows her how to play one of his video games, to the extent that she plays it for one whole year without stopping. |

Bob's Burgers: In ''Burgerboss", Bob buys an arcade machine for the restaurant that he has fond memories playing. Jimmy Pesto comes over and plays a game, only to beat the high score with over 300,000 points. To make matters worse, he names his high score "Bob Sux", which drives Bob furious. In a bid to get a higher score, he stays awake all night playing the game. The next morning, he has symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Linda sells the machine to an arcade shop, but Bob finds out and starts playing Burgerboss again. The medication for his sprained wrists supposedly make him stronger, and he develops a dependence on them. | |

In "Guitar Queer-o", Stan and Kyle become talented enough at Guitar Hero to go pro. The episode parodies rise-to-fame and musician biopic tropes, even including a Breakup Breakout. To take the edge off the sudden success, Stan becomes obsessed with a game called "Heroin Hero", in which you inject yourself with heroin and chase a cheeky dragon who can't be caught. Like real heroin, Stan starts "chasing the dragon" and becomes addicted to playing it. | |

He was so addicted to a video game for over three days that he developed deep vein thrombosis from sitting down for so long. The blood clot then lodged itself in his pulmonary artery and caused heart failure. He does get resuscitated but the brain damage is done, and is taken off life support. | |

South Park jokes about this. In "Guitar Queer-o", Stan and Kyle become talented enough at Guitar Hero to go pro. The episode parodies rise-to-fame and musician biopic tropes, even including a Breakup Breakout. To take the edge off the sudden success, Stan becomes obsessed with a game called "Heroin Hero", in which you inject yourself with heroin and chase a cheeky dragon who can't be caught. Like real heroin, Stan starts "chasing the dragon" and becomes addicted to playing it. In the episode "Towelie", the boys get the new game system "The Okama Gamesphere". They make up excuses to keep playing. In the episode "Make Love, Not Warcraft", the boys did nothing but play World of Warcraft for weeks, becoming grotesquely fat and acne-ridden as a result. This one is a double-example: they did all of this so that they could level up enough to beat someone who ALSO did this, literally having never once logged off since launch, and somehow had developed the ability to kill player characters, even when not flagged for PVP and on the same side no less. So what do they do once they achieve this godly status along with the Sword of 1000 Truths? Go back to playing the rest of the game like nothing happened... |

Cookie Clicker: There is an upgrade with Flavor Text that outright asks "You've been up all night, haven't you?", unlocked by clicking on 77 golden cookies, which are on a (slightly variable) timer. A simultaneously unlocked achievement says "You should really go to bed". The minimum time between golden cookies is five minutes without spawn-rate upgrades, which are mercifully unlocked at 7 and 27 cookies, otherwise getting to that number would take over six hours even with the best of luck. | |
