Deep Connection While Gaming: Has it happened to you?
El Fajitas \| 11:58 PM on 10.25.2007	11 comments

Perhaps I am painting with a broad brush, but have any of you ever experienced an incomprehensibly awesome lack of thought while focusing in something?
A moment in which you feel not yourself, but what you are doing, and the second you think again, it is lost?
Well, I'd like to find out if such a thing has happened to anyone with videogames. The only time I can remember such moments was once while practicing trumpet, and when I was way younger and first played Ocarina of Time. Perhaps a bit cliche, but you must understand that was the first time I saw a 64; I was all SNES and NES before that.
Anyhoo, has anyone aligned their brain while playing videogames? Keep in mind that beer, or bein' trippin' don't count, not even when it's Snaileb.

Secret of Mana, when I was trying to level up all of my weapons attack levels. And also when I played MGS2, I was IN the game, I lost track of who I was for hours with that one, even caused some relationship problems.

El Fajitas

That's it I need to capture me Secret of Mana. I keep hearin' about it, but no more! I will beat it within' the month.

sleepingagain

when i first played onimusha house sitting over a weekend, i ended up playing it for 17 hours straight without moving off the chair

ajaxender

yeah, i get it in super fast, arcade style racing games like burnout. Sometimes in other games, generally the ones that rely more on instinct and reflex, like ut3.

twinkiebots

yeah it happened to me when I first got the orange box the last 4 or 5 hours of half life 2. I was like a machine I remember relizing that my thumbs were moving super precise like more precise than usual and kind of had to take a minute after I finished it to think about what just happened.

The Incredible Edible Egg

Probably kicked in somewhere. Dont know where, though. Alas, my subconscious eludes me at every turn.

Aaron Mxy Yost

Do you mean when you get in the zone? Happens a lot, especially during intense games like shumps.

El Fajitas

Oh man, I'm not shure entirely, but I suppose 'the zone' could be part of it...when you focus a bit on not thinkin' because you know you'll lose it, but because you thought about it you started losin' yer focus, and sham! Now you are back to your old non perfectly calibrated brain wave patterns.
So yeah, maybe.

h3lios

Used to happen to me during the glory days of Counter Strike 1.5 (all i would get were headshots lol)and in FF VIII to FF X where i used to game close to 20+ hours at a stretch.

king3vbo

Chrono Trigger. Nuff said.

No in all cereal, the first time I played Chrono Trigger was during summer vacation when I was a kid. I dont remember exactly, but I think I played it for 20 hours a day for a few days before my mom took away my SNES and told me to go outside
