Has anybody here been so hopelessly addicted to a video game that you end up...

Playing your game (alone or with others) all through the night and into the wee hours of the morning, and because of that, YOUR LYING ASS CALLS IN SICK AT WORK SO YOU CAN GET SOME MUCH NEEDED REST. And after that phone call with your boss, supervisor, etc, instead of getting some sleep YOU GO RIGHT BACK TO THE GODDAMNED GAME and play it until you HAVE TO GET SOME SLEEP.

Anybody here ever done that? C'mon folks, don't tell me I'm the only one...

Close but no cigar!

A few times I did spend more time that I should have spent playing a certain game too deep into the night, but I've never called in sick at work. Then again, I usually had those long gaming sessions on weekends, I can't remember whether I've ever done it during work days.

 

[The_Dizzy_Vizzy]

Yeah, I've done it a couple times myself. I've done it 3 times in the last 2 years, but this was like I when I was in my 20's and was waiting tables (I had a lot of fun during those years). I've not done anything like that since. Still, it was a goofy pleasure. Now back to SUPER METROID!!!

WoW, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, and Elden Ring all had me staying up way later than I should've been, if not all night/several days in some instances. Hades 2 has a hold on me right now, but not to the extent that I'm losing sleep, just spending most of my waking time playing it.

I do genuinely get like that when I fully binge a game during time off, but those are generally 12+ hour sessions... I have to wonder how much longer I can keep such things up...

Just kidding! I know (hell, we all know) how we put those hours into a weekend, And then had to live "responsibly" for the next 8 our so hours so that, yes, we do get up and go to work, But when that addiction is there to that ONE PERFECT GAME, you just can't WAIT to get the hell out of there and and go deal with all the BADDIES!!!

SOCIES!!! SQUARES!!! And DAMN ANYONE who gets in my way and tries to ruin my, uh, "PROGRESS"...

Until you skip work for a day, you'll always be an amateur. "Sessions" be damned. You'll just have to live with yourself until you decide to throw that javelin...

 

[JuanMena]

No.

[The_Dizzy_Vizzy]

Dude, you're missing out on all the fun!!! You might lose your job, but IT'S A MINOR RISK!!!
