Okay, so how many of you have got so wrapped up in a game that you've skipped school or work to play it? Or should I say, how many of you are prepared to ADMIT to it?!
I don't *only* mean waking up in the morning and faking a sickie - I mean the other reasons, too... like not being able to turn the game off at 10:00pm (or whenever), playing through until 3 or 4 in the morning, and then not being able to get up for school/work.
If you have 'gone AWOL'...
1. What game(s) made you do it?
2. How often have you done it?
3. Has it cost you anything? (i.e. been fired from work, bad grades at school etc.)
4. Do you/have you ever regretted it?
5. Do you still do it/would you do it again?
My answers:
1. GT1, GT2, all Resident Evil games, a couple of Tomb Raiders, and most recently, Moto GP.
2. One day for each of the above games, except RE2 which was 3 days!
3. Thankfully, it's cost me nothing except sleep so far.
4. I felt a bit guilty, but it soon passed.
5. Rarely... but GT3 is out soon, so...
