This is why we need to moderate how many hours we play video games.

I honestly will never understand people who do stuff like this. KH is my favorite series and I couldn't play 40 straight hours of it if I wanted to and was paid. Don't they feel tired? Hungry? Thirsty? Like they have to poop? Does their phone ever ring? Don't they have friends? Family? Something that will force them to at least look away from the screen.

 

Addiction is a cold hearted mistress.

Jeez. I honestly don't know how people can play games so much like that. I mean, i did play mass effect 2/3 on launch at midnight for a good 6-7 hours, but i just don't get how people can play so much like that without eating or anything.

It's incidents like this that make me scared to have Asperger's Syndrome. One of the symptoms is to develop a deep fascination or obsession with something you really, really like. I remember when my obsession was Kingdom Hearts. I played KHII three days straight with showering and if my mother hadn't nagged me to eat or drink, I don't know what could have happened. It scares me because I have no control over this symptom. I become hyper focused, immoral and irritational. All I can think of is being around or involved with my obsession and nothing else. Unless someone is there to limit or nag me, I won't be able to control myself. It terrifies me that I can't be of my own mind and that this could be the very outcome of my future. And what's also awful is I have to depend on somebody to take care of me and I'm burdening them by doing so. ): I wish I had the strength to take care of myself but I'm so weak and it frustrates me to no end.

 

It's not easy. Of course, you get hungry and thirsty. But imagine being so hyper focused on what you're doing, you don't recognize your body's needs. You are so concentrated on your obsession, you are so immoral and irrational, your mentality could border on insanity because you just don't care about anything.
