Me being the short little freak i am find that life on the PC, is alot better then the real world. So have spent more time on games then i do breathing fresh air. But this is usually only when i find a truly spectacular game.
My first experience of true addiction was when i first played Final Fantasy 7. I began the game and started playing, when i finally tore myself away, i realised that i'd lost over three hour of my life to the game. I'd bee so ingrossed with the spectacular plot that i'd lost total track of time.
The next experience i had was with Final Fantasy 8, this time i spent over 5 hour on the game. Stopped, had a quick lunch and a toilet break, then began again. And played another 3 hours.
I've found that games of this quality aren't games any more, there more like secundry lifes, plots that you live out coz there more interesting then your own life. And i think thats rather a bit disturbing come to think of it.
Recently i also bought the classic Planetscape Torment. This time i wen't to far, i spent 7 hours straigh playing with no breaks for anything. The next day i was almost dying wih aniticpation for my mate to get off the PC so i could play again. Then i spent 3 and a half hours on it. I've no idea how to stop this, and cant believe how good this game is.
I probably sound like a total nutter but i thought i tell that to you. Beware of decent plots, you will become addicted like i have.
