The Tetris Effect: "Oh, the sun's up..."

All online games dream of the Tetris Effect. Currently one of them is 'Tetris'd'.

Diablo II would have to be mine.

I think I was in the underground caves or the catacombs.

That night I saw the map perfectly every time I closed my eyes.

It was scary/awesome.

Civilization 4

You Maniacs! It's too perfect! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!

I have literally skipped sleeping because of this fucking game. (but then some of you know that my sleep cycle is completely fucked up to begin with)

I won my first game on Monarch difficulty today. I was so happy.

This game does have a tendency to eat away the hours.

I've experienced the DDR Effect (falling arrows when I close my eyes) and the Assassin's Creed Effect (looking for handholds on every building).

After playing burnout too much I found myself in the passenger seat of a car subconciously urging my friend to "takedown" everyone else on the road.
Thankgod I wasn't driving- there would have been a death count.

I think I would also get the Spiderman 2 effect after too much swinging around, but there aren't many skyscrapers in yorkshire so I never got the urge. : /

The fucking double dumbassed chatbox. Nihilist + Star Trek = no sleep.

Neopets, leave me alone! Why must you always have new, fun stuff to do? Why must you have OLD fun stuff to do when the new stuff runs out? Why must you have a new Flash-based module with even MORE stuff? Why must you be even MORE addictive when combined with video Let's Plays in one corner? WHYYYYYY?

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

Now I want to play Neopets. I'm pretty sure mine is starving since I haven't logged in in forever. The games... why must you tempt me???

Yes, that usually happens once you start talking to Nihilist late at night.

Amplify that by living on average 6 hours ahead of most of you then yeah, agreed.

Mine got adopted out. I'm not sure when this happened as it was probably about five years since my last login when I checked on it.

I just spent the night playing The Sabotuer and Assassins Creed II.

...I'M STILL LOOKING FOR THAT FUCKING RAINBOW WORM.

Gah... On my fifth prestige on Modern Warfare 2... Too many nights spent... No end in sight...

Except for Bayonetta, which I'll get tomorrow! I'm already having fantasies about her! I imagine Mystique is a lot like her!

TNT goes through really old, unused accounts and deletes them. I'm not sure how many years you have to be gone before they do it.

I've been searching for the black worm for the past three weeks. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Other than Neopets, my addiction is Super Smash Bros Brawl. I bought a Wii last month and have spent many hours trying to complete challenges and play fucking Subspace so I can work on my trophy collection.

I got all the worms within two days--I think they nerf out your chances if you refresh too often, so I restocked and played games between refreshes. That, and I wanted them for the PEOPLE THEY ARE, not the STUFF THEY'LL GET ME. MY INTENTIONS ARE PURE, MY INTENTIONS OF COLLECTING ADORABLE CUDDLY-WUDDLY BUGGEHS.

I've collected three sets already, so it's not too bad that I can't find the black worm.

The first set was probably the easiest. I got them all within four hours of trying.

City of Heroes.

Anyway.... Rage aside... one game I've always played and probably will continue to do so was Final Fantasy 7 (old game is old) [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] but idc, that is all.

So, uh...is it possible for you to make a post without emoticons and memes, or is it some kind of chronic condition?

Oh God Oh God Oh God this. A million times this.

I just found my old copy in a box somewhere and installed it and OH SHIT SUDDENLY IT'S MIDNIGHT HOW DID THAT HAPPEN.

Seriously, the amount of time it feels like you've been playing that game is about a third of the time you actually have been. And even after you've looked at the clock you still want to try and just level up one more time so you can make your slowly-growing army of skeletons that much bigger, or whichever character you're using. Then you realize you need to be up in the morning.

This all goes double if you're playing online. They seriously need rehab for this shit.
