I have a pseudoscience feeling that your skill cycle in [your favorite MMO] puts your brain to sleep like TV. But, TF2 is an adrenaline devouring maniac of a game.... it takes things to make adrenaline.

Lost my damn mind to Mass Effect on the X-box 360. Knew I was hungry, but was having so damn much fun that the thought of stopping to cook seemed insane. At some point started to get lightheaded. Made the fastest meal I could (cereal and milk, 300 calories total), and went right back to it. At some point got very woozy and went to bed. In the morning my body said "WTF! Are you insane?!?" To which I replied, "yes perhaps." Had cereal for breakfast, supplemented by diet mountain dew on the way to work. More caffeine when I arrived. At lunch, still wasn't all that hungry. Around 4 o'clock, my stomach finally awoke. Demanded that i go out and eat the biggest damn meal that I could find. Said that "there would be hell to pay" if I didn't comply. Demonstrated with black spots in front of my eyes as well as severely reduced mental capabilities. Given the pangs I was feeling at that point, I believed it. Had a giant meal of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and corn. Stomach was satisfied with my initial offering, granted me enough sanity to be able to read and write again. I am grateful.
