You know a game's awesome when...

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

When you decide that sleeping after coming back from work is better than sleeping before work.

 

[Totenkopf]

When you're driving through a collapsing golden temple on a car that shoots flames out of it's exhaust, while demons ride in steel sarcophaguses from the sky and "Through the Fire and the Flames" is playing in the background.

 

[Tycho Anomaly]

When the game has lasted longer than SEVERAL relationships!

There's no connection between the two facts, I swear!

 

[Beartrucci]

Have played Red Dead Redemption for 17+ hours and haven't gotten sick of shooting peoples horses while they are riding them because it looks awesome to watch the person go flying off the horse as the horse faceplants the ground.

 

[wooty]

When you miss an important dinner date with your prospective girlfriend because you WILL NOT be beaten by General Blucher!

[SL33TBL1ND]

When you speed run it in 10 minutes, damn you Morrowind! (That's not me by the way, that's the world record.)

 

[JEBWrench]

..."five more minutes!" turns into "look at the time, I should have left for work an hour ago."

You can tell this beforehand if it says "Paradox" on the cover.

 

[black orchid1]

when you miss 3 meals then go to get food and run back to continue playing

 

[imaloony]

...it has a gun that shoot shurikens and lightning!

it has Bioware written on the box

I respectfully decline your response. I haven't played one yet that hasn't declined rapidly in quality to the point of "Why am I still playing this?"

NWN, KotOR, Baldur's Gate, Dragon Age...

 

[traineesword]

when you don't save, reload a previous save and pause before a certain point and shout to everyone within a mile's vicinity to come in and watch, exclaiming "bloody hell, can you believe how awesome this is"... done that twice.

or when you can happily sit down and watch somebody else play it. or when you can sit down, watch somebody else play it and get annoyed that you aren't playing it.

 

[dazdex]

..when you sit down in the morning on day of release and don't get up until 10hours later when you've completed it..

I'm looking at you Batman AA

 

[TheBoulder]

When the default weapon has a fuckin' chainsaw on it.
When you get to have sex with a hot, big-boobed Australian chick.

Then, good sir, we must agree to disagree

Righto. L'chaim.

 

[Optimus Hagrid]

When the saddest part of the game is the end, because it ended.

 

[Thoric485]

Timegoesbythisfast.

 

[V TheSystem V]

When it is Mass Effect 2.

29 hours, finished it with 16 hours of sleep and 2 hours for meals. Was doing a History essay during some of the less important cutscenes, and had about 2 hours apart from sleep and food that I wasn't playing it. Which I put down to washing and feeding pets.

Also, when it is a Valve game.

Played Left 4 Dead 2 constantly one day. At the start of the day I had 6300 zombie kills. Half way through the day I got the Zombie Hand t-shirt, and just kept on playing. 7 hours of non-stop awesomeness

You stop playing games to spend all your waking hours building a time machine to get a game sooner! (Referring to fallout new vegas)
