Have you ever been so absorbed in a game (Gibs)

Civ games do that to me more than anything

Yes, often.

Although the older I get, the harder it becomes to play night after night and still keep the appearance of not beinig a zombie in the office every day...

Bump!

Yep, that's what happens to me all the time :)

Thank you BUMP!

Sure, really good adventure games and RPGs tend to influence me this way (although not as much now as during my university years).

I find myself more immersed into games with no inventory, items, character menu etc.
Two games that firstly came into my mind: SOMA, Dear Esther

I've lost some sleep over games, but I've never been so absorbed into a game that I've missed something important, like an exam or an important deadline.

I really wish I could answer that question with "no"...

The Sims 1, Makin' Magic expansion. I had just bought it and as soon as I installed it, I played it for three days straight with minimal bio breaks and no sleep. Worse, I had to go visit family afterwards and when I returned home late on the third night, I was hallucinating hearing simlish and various game sounds around me. It was then that I knew.. It was bedtime. Lol. I've learned my lesson from that experience and it's never happened again.

I think it's been rare that I've been so engrossed in a game that I consciously choose not to get something done I need to. It's more often that I get so absorbed in it that I simply forget

Bump

Doesn't even matter if I don't like the game that much, I will be completely absorbed in it deliberately to avoid important things that need doing. I'm not quite addicted, I just will procrastinate until the last minute and then I'll get off my game, like most everyone else does too I'm sure.

All the time!!!!

Bump!

Yes, some years ago but still wasn't a kid.

On my first playtrough on CIV VI I didn't slept before my early-morning workshift.
I went to work tho (¬､¬)

Does 3 hours sleep last night because I had to improve my Rust base count?

I'm home from work now, could be taking a nap but I'm getting ready to log back on :P

It is less likely to happen nowadays, but in my teens, it happened all the time, gaming to 3 am on high school days.

Na, never... Uh... wait.... you mean those moments, when live tries to get your attention and hours later your still sitting there and gaming? Naaaaah, never! ;)

You can play games and not get super absorbed in it? Is that possible?
