[quote name="Rightbug"][quote name="creativepig"][quote name="Fullofkittens"]Do you regularly have dreams about video games? I would mock this more, but I just remembered that at one point I was playing Tetris so much in college that I saw falling pieces in my sleep.[/quote] Replace Tetris with Minesweeper and replace dreaming with unconscious daydreaming while I was doing something entirely different (admittedly, factory work can be pretty mindless). Instead of falling bricks, I'd flash through both common patterns and more complex ones that you'd normally have to put some logic into; considering probabilities of solutions based on patterns I'd seen before. All this in a kind of manic blur of numbers popping up.[/quote] Everyone who has played Tetris too much has seen the pieces falling while they were trying to sleep. More disturbing was when I was seeing HOMM IV in my head while trying to sleep because the game kind of sucked. [quote name="creativepig"]Incidentally, when you're playing fucking Minesweeper instinctively, you need to take a break for a while. cp[/quote] I look at the high scores on my ex-girlfriend's computer and wonder, "How is it humanly possible to complete the expert board in that amount of time?" and then I remember that we had both gotten to a point where we knew every conceivable fucking pattern and could complete the levels as fast as we could click assuming we didn't run into a 50/50 chance at the end. -- Rb[/quote]
