Just how obsessed with a game have you got?

I don't play games non-stop but I have lost months to GTA games.
I'm also trying to get the baby called Kratos if it's a boy.

I almost failed 10th grade because Warcraft 3: TFT came out that year and I skipped about 30 days of school to play it.
The only game I ever got obsessed with was Onimusha for the PS2.
I got it down to being able to beat it, getting everything in about an hour and a half, and I was doing the water trap slide puzzle in my head, moving my hands in front of my face Minority Report style, memorizing the fastest way to complete it.

Recently I'd say I've been pretty obsessed with Mass Effect. I've lost whole days to that game and still not got past the 1st few story planets.
If they are the cage doors with the hole in the middle: They are often opened with nearby/far away switches. I don't recall, as I generally avoid those ruins, due to a lot of them being fucking undead dungeons. Which are annoying. I really only stick to Bandit/Marauder/Conjurer/Necromancer dungeons.miracleofsound said:
Yeah I bloody hate the ayleid ruins too, with thier sneaky traps and crutals that fire ice bolts at you... plus dread zombies ugh.Onyx Oblivion said:
Not to mention the fact that they all look the bloody same!
the only game i ever got obsessed with was runescape.... and that was a long time ago.... *shudders* the sleepless nights...
Rock Band. No, seriously. I play it every night at home, play it on my lunchbreaks at work, and whenever I come across a place that's having a RB night, I actually crave a turn on it. It's like something sets my blood alight, and I just HAVE to play. It's paying off, though: I'm getting better at Expert drums.
Final Fantasy Tactics, I keeped killing my gameboys battery and ended up playing while it charged.
I had over 300 hours on the bloody thing.
Wish it had harder monsters and stuff to fight.

When it comes to game obsession, I have two stories to tell. Saving best for last, too.
- When I first played FF7, it had such a profound effect on me that has not faded to this day. I'm not a fangirl, and respect that others don't feel the same. But when I went to my 2nd (ever) convention and saw pvc Advent Children figures, I bought them immediately (Cloud, Sephiroth, Tifa). I've had to excersize enormous will power not to buy a replica Buster Sword, and other nick-nacks. But the series of FF7 related media has me in a solid choke hold, that's for sure.
- Eons ago, when the SNES was the most powerful gaming system on the market, I fell in love with The Secret of Mana. I first played it at a friends house when she rented it on her SNES. I didn't have enough money to buy an SNES of my own, nor could I convince my dad to get me one. (Much later when I tried holding a corner sale with my NES games to drum up money, he'd change his mind.) I did however have enough money to get just the game, and I'd take it with me to my friends whenever I went over.
Well, my first sit down with the game was when my friend rented it. The game featured a sort of gimped 2 player, and I controlled the Sprite for offensive magic. We stayed up from friday evening, through saturday, until sunday afternoon playing Secret of Mana. Actually, I stayed up. My friend slept some. Woke up early, and got back into the game. Sunday afternoon, I walked (staggered) back home in a state of massive sleep depervation. I was so out of it, that I could still FEEL the SNES controller in my hands. To walk, I held forward in my brain. When I got home, I started to walk down stairs. But I was so tired that I couldn't make it the extra 10 feet to collaspe in bed. I got a little confused because I wanted to "sit" but none of the buttons on my Brain-Controller were letting me. But I managed somehow. I sat, and passed out.
I have no idea how much time passed. I woke laid out on the stairs, but energized enough to stagger into my bedroom, and crawl into bed.
I have never been so obsessed with a game to have that kind of experience again. I've been obsessed (FF7), and it's even been a healthy obsession at times. But never have I played a game to the level of hallucinations. I later got an SNES (thank you, dad), and played Secret of Mana at healthy intervals.
