Hello. This is a question that has been bugging me for a few days. I noticed that I have been playing G1 for at least 5 hours a day instead of studying for my finals. This usually happens when I first play a CRPG, but never on the second (or nth, as is the case) run. I suspect it's because I'm seriously playing on torment for the first time (with a walking nuke named Smith). Is playing on torment addictive? Or is playing on torment is like playing a new game, causing me to play so much? Posts: 2 | Registered: Tuesday, May 30 2006 07:00 |

It's very addictive. Except the beginning. Especially when you play with a new strategy. I've probably played G3 to times 6 on torment 4 normal. I've had it since June. Posts: 626 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

Playing a game or studying for finals ... Studying for finals or playing a game ... I wonder which option is more appealing. :) Considering that procrastination causes people to do unusual things like cleaning their rooms and picking up old hobbies, I don't think playing a game is that unusual. :) -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.

Playing on torment means you have to pay more attention to the game. There is less room for making mistakes. On the lower levels you can get sloppy and do things that won't work on torment mode. Besides finals are a great excuse to relax with a game to escape the pressure. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

On normal, it is possible to doze off at the keyboard... With creations that have no int boost and move on their own. And then wake up and find out that they had cleared the area for you. Silly Alphas just kept going forward to smash enemies, and with each move forward, I guess they woke up new enemies. This was Geneforge II. I woke up and saw my shaper standing all alone on the screen and couldn't figure out what the blazes had happened and why I was all alone. Cryoas? Gone. Alphas? Gone. Vlish? Gone. And there was a blood stain right next to me I am not sure, but I think I might have been beta testing or something. All I really remember was, it was late. Or early. Or something, -------------------- If I could make just one wish, I would want a tasty vlish. Geneforge IV. Still no tasty vlish. Posts: 1104 | Registered: Tuesday, February 12 2002 08:00 |

quote:I type in my sleep. Some times I doze off a bit and I keep typing. Sort of like how people doze off at the wheel of a car but keep driving. I probably had my hands on the keyboard, but who knows what I was doing. I woke up after one such doze to find that I had typed the words "Evil monkey dentists root canal vasectomy." I have no clue what that means. :confused: :eek: -------------------- If I could make just one wish, I would want a tasty vlish. Geneforge IV. Still no tasty vlish.

It was probably to remind you that your evil monkey was late to give you a root canal because your dentist gave him a vasectomy. [ Wednesday, May 31, 2006 13:55: Message edited by: The][Editbreaker ] -------------------- quote: Posts: 1115 | Registered: Sunday, May 15 2005 07:00 |

Just his subconscious trying to tell him, in the most emphatic way it can think of, that choosing an evil monkey to be his dentist might have been a mistake. -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty. Posts: 3335 | Registered: Thursday, September 4 2003 07:00 |

I sense the start of a completely awful children's dental health campaign featuring Mojo Jojo, DDS and the Powerpuff Girls. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |
