Not a gamer, no first person shooters, no rpg, no Civilization, Second Life or Sims. The only games I like are puzzle-types.
EXCEPT…Blizzard’s "Diablo", all of them since the first, and WoW. Got thoroughly sucked in to a life-stopping degree with every one, for many weeks, and If my life depended it I could not explain it.
Really…with every one of them I reached a point where I barely slept or functioned at all, played til blurry-eyed, sleep 4 or 5 hours, wake, start again and put in another 16-18 hours. Blizzard got me in my 30s, 40s and 50s.
The only other game that came close was a precursor BBS-based TEXT version of the same thing called Arena.
And I have sampled lots of other similar games with similar elements. Nothing. Not the slightest bit of interest in any of them.
So weird.
