The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
all of them. I feel really guilty after playing all of them.
Why?
I always feel like I could have been doing something more productive. I'm obsessive with games though. I can't just play for an hour and then put it down.
I'm kinda like this too. I rationalize it by reminding myself I have to be extroverted at my both my jobs and it's much-needed me time, but I also think I just like the escapism. The real world sucks a lot of the time.
Same. I usually get more enjoyment out of games than reading, TV, or movies though. I can jump in and out a lot easier but get lost in it while I'm there.

i think games are the quickest path to active mental engagement. TV and movies are way more passive, and reading is active but it's tough when the writing is obtuse. games are like mental calisthenics, though after a certain point it's diminishing returns.

Are you an obsessive collector in well in games?
Not usually. But I have to complete every side quest and make sure I didn't miss any secret stuff. Or in the case of competitive games, I feel like I have to be the greatest player in the world.

Oddly, the last game I played all the way through, Inside, was maybe an exception.
I finished that in about a weekend (which is still too long for me), didn't feel like I was just getting my addictive behavior exploited, and actually got something from the story/world.
