What was the last video game you played (if any) that absorbed you to the point where you shrugged off other responsibilities for it?
Wow. Great question. Minecraft.
But before that?
… It’s been a while. I’ll give you a short lists of games I truly love, and have shrugged off other things in favor of (in no particular order): Fallout 3, Oblivion, Morrowind (Oh God,) Psychonauts, Shadow of the Colossus, Ico.
And close? Saint’s Row 2, and GTA: San Andreas, and sometimes, rarely but sometimes, GTA4.
I’m sure there are tons more, but… That’s off the top of my head.
