    Its the same with me. I don't play video games all that often anymore but when I get totally engrossed in something I can do nothing else until its finished.

    And I don't think that they will create a tech-demoesque remake of FF7. Why? Because it would most likely shut down the worlds economy as people would just stop turning up to work on release week to play it. I know if it came down to it thats what I would do!

    Also the problem of bread-line like rioting and looting outside Game stores worldwide on the day of release :pac:

    As far as I can work out, it was her way of coping... Things kind of fell apart on her after she went psycho and ended it.

    Oblivion as well. used to go to bed when I saw the sun coming up :o got soe sucked into that game.

    Oblivion fúcked up my sleep patterns for a long time. Fell asleep on the couch one day after a mammoth session and while asleep I started yapping on about some sword and kept saying "reference it on the map". Got a ripping for ages over that one.

    It didn't help that while I wasn't bored per sé I'd started losing the love of it. I'd have quit but I was playing with her basically. But it certainly cost me a scary amount of time.

    I'm pretty sure it was, one of the lads was starting off and I kept telling him to get that sword when ever he was playing it. I managed to get that fairly early on by mistake, was delighted with it.

    Got stuck into Fable 2 the other night when I was getting ready to start on night shifts, it's pretty much ideal for bleary eyed gaming at 4am.

    WoW used to keep me up until all hours even when I had work the next morning... So many wasted hours:(

    Yep, even after deleting my character and swearing that I'd never waste another minute of my life playing it, I still get the occasional craving to start playing again.
    I turned down a date so that I could play it, turned down countless offers from friends to go out, sacrificed sleep just so that I could grind a bit more... The game absolutely ruled my life and I hate looking back on those times.
    I hate seeing a good friend still playing it incessantly as well, wish he'd cop on and leave it like I did:(

    WoW is the scourge of gaming imo, but most people that play don't even realise what they're doing to themselves... It should be a controlled substance or just plain banned!

    3am rants ftw!

    Meh, lots of people love it because it's addictive. It's our own fault for playing it though.

    Fable 2 has been keeping me up a good bit this week.

    Fun game.... but so many fecking bugs in it.

    I've come to terms with the fact today that I'll never get all 50 Gargoyles as one of the quests is bugged for me.

    Agreed, I don't even want to think about how much time I wasted playing. Played for just over 2 years, and that game caused so many sleepless nights, missed college assignment deadlines, exam struggles, sleeping late for work because I'd been playing late... And it's so easy to just keep playing for hours and hours.

    All of that for a ****ing game. It's absolutely insane.

    Okami had me up for the occasional 36 hour gaming session too, actually. The combination of amazing artwork and story was a potent one indeed.
