Lost Planet All-Nighter
The most recent Xbox Live® All-Nighter took place on Saturday, February 10 and featured Lost Planet™: Extreme Condition. We got a lot of great emails from our friends in the community recapping their all-nighter experiences. Achievements were earned, rivals were pwned, and a lot of fun was had. Read on for all the details.
I set out to accomplish two things during this all-nighter.
- I wanted to get the ace medal achievement
- I wanted to reach level 50 for the Online Master achievement.
I accomplished both those goals, even though it took me until almost noon.
I started out at level 43 and took a few breaks before actually digging in and getting down to business around 1 A.M. Over the next 8 or so hours of continuous gaming I finally unlocked them both.

I just wanted to let you know that my family and I had a great time playing Lost Planet on 2/10! Although we could not quite stay up all night, we started a bit earlier in the evening playing the campaign missions, spending much time searching for missing target marks and squashing bugs! Thanks very much for the excellent Xbox Live service, and a **very big** thanks to Capcom for producing Lost Planet, which is undoubtedly one of the most fun games I have played in many years!

I participated in the Xbox All-Nighter and it was awesome. I started playing at about midnight and played until 5:00 P.M. the next day. So I put in about 17 hours straight! I alternated primarily between post grab and rifle elimination, and I think Capcom put an excellent multiplayer game together that will hold me over until Halo® 3. I also jumped from level 45 to 54 while playing which anyone would tell you is pretty tough to do in one sitting.
Senior doesn't know what he would do with his time otherwise.

Hi guys, in honor of your hosting this event I bought another 50-inch plasma to play on. Actually I already bought it a week earlier but I did have my nephews down for the entire weekend. We started on Friday night at 10:30 P.M. Pacific Time until 1:30 A.M. then were back up again February 10 sometime around 9 A.M. until 4 A.M. on Sunday Feb 11. We had a great time, we coordinated several games with many of our closest friends and aside from a few glitches, and my niece turning off the light switch that powers my console and TV, everything was great.

It was a crisp Ohio night…
My tale begins on a cold, crisp Ohio night. I must start by saying that I have the most nosy neighbors around. Any chance they get, they peel their blinds and take a gander at what I may be doing. I thought that this all-nighter wouldn't be the same without some of their attention to what I was up too! For this reason (as you can see in the attached picture) I dug out my winter coat, strapped on some boots, drug out a chair, and set my TV up on a flowerpot stand on my front porch in the snow for all to see! I was only able to play until about midnight EST, due to the old war vet beside me coming out and yelling that the glare from my TV was in his wife's and his bedroom. I said 'Sorry, but I just thought you'd like to know what I was doing up past my bedtime!' He didn't smile. So, I hope this goes down of one of the better stories you get.
Thanks for a great game Capcom! Who else could make a game I can share with my neighbors!

There is nothing more I would have rather been doing on that Valentine's Day weekend than playing Lost Planet and stuffing my face with that delicious Valentine's chocolate. There is just something about splattering Akrid for their thermo-goop and eating heart shaped candies, it is surprisingly a good combination. I am a huge fan of Lost Planet and praise Capcom for creating such a beautiful game. It really shows how much Xbox 360™ can really do and I look forward to seeing more games like this from Capcom. You guys really know how to make a rockin' event!

Play duration 11 P.M. 4 A.M. MST. I think having these kinds of community gatherings are great and what sets Xbox 360 apart. I believe you should have more of these gatherings on a monthly basis, no matter the games.

I am from Alaska. Yes, the big 'ol frozen place. When I first played this I swear to God they just filmed stuff in my backyard. They should rename it "Lost in Alaska". I played from 7:30 P.M. to 3 A.M. It was beautiful. I cracked open a Monster and made snow angels on the stunning maps. I started the night at level 16 and ended on 25. I want to thank Xbox® and Capcom for making this a wonderful night.

After 15.5 hours of gameplay I finally got my rank up to 30. My experience with Xbox Live has been nothing short of amazing. On the night of Feb. 10 alone I made so many new friends and to my knowledge, no enemies. The All-Nighter was great and we all had a blast. I'd do it again in a second.

February 10 was a very good night to play. I ranked up from LV77 to LV80 playing from 4:20 P.M. to 7:50 A.M. logging on 15.5 hours and taking the number three rank in Post Grab for America. The hours flew by as rockets and bullets whizzed by my head from good competitors around the world like DW Bundy from Canada, MikeBeadsha from the UK, and nakoso from Japan.

I played in the Xbox All-Nighter last night from about four in the afternoon until five thirty in the morning. During the event I noticed a lot more people playing and rooms in rank were filling up more and more rapidly. I actually ranked up to lvl 26 from lvl 38 which isn't that much of a gap but it sure did take a long time. I also got my online century achievement and had a blast playing the entire 13 and a half hours

Evil15 pulled an All-Nighter.
I played Lost Planet till I was cross eyed. I played from 8 at night till 6 A.M. This game is amazing; I bought this game a day and a half ago and have been playing it every night. It's like I am addicted to it.

Just had to drop you a line and say what a great time I had at the All-Nighter on Lost Planet last night. I just got my Xbox in the last week and yesterday was the first time I got online, so it was a great welcome to the Xbox scene to have so many players to greet me. While there was some grumbling from the Levels 60-plus, as a n00b it was great to be starting out and learning the maps with a group of similar n00bs around me. N00b camouflage, as it were, giving the more seasoned vets plenty of other flailing targets to acquire besides me. All in all, a great time; keep it up!

I can honestly say that it was the singularly most enjoyable time I have ever had with my Xbox 360 playing online, and with Xbox Live as a whole … so thank you for a really fun night, lots of laughs and most of all, for the "excuse" to play all night without which my wife would not have taken an interest in the game and spent 8 hours enjoying our time together playing a video game! (Every married gamers dream come true! haha!!)

My Lost Planet All-Nighter lasted 9 and a half hours. From 9:30 P.M. to 7 A.M. eastern time, my friend Kurtjk and I plowed through 48 games of team elimination. I was powered throughout the night by the tons of fun I was having, not to mention the loud music I was blasting courtesy of The Stooges. During the course of the night I played with a lot of really cool people from all over the world. Not only did I get the chain killer achievement, but I even made some new friends. There's no way that I'd be able to play a game for 9 and a half hours straight, unless of course it rocks like no other! Thanks Capcom!

I had the best time of my life on Lost Planet. We and my friends had a clan-like team. And we were blowing up everything in our sight! I love these All-Nighters and I love Lost Planet: Extreme Condition! I was on from like 11:00 to about 4:00. It's awesome!
