I used to be able to do that when I was a teenager where I'd be playing a great game and would not even notice the time going by but I guess being older you have more on your mind, I definitely find it harder to escape into games now but it makes it easier to recognise a great game because it has to absolutely amazing to engross me to such an extent now.
You know what I mean >:O I mean like.. I see people buying new games, paying for mmos, just hardcoring it and I don't know how they do it with no job >.> Its not free!
