Do you sometimes relise your like.. not playing and can look around hold full conversations and interact with your surroundings,

For example.. While playing wave race (after about 6months of playing) On a race, after the first lap i can turn around look... talk to people if they talk to me.. and.. dont even need to concentrate on the game.. like i am playing subconciously, and sometimes i can even look away for even upto a minute. it's like everthing i need to know to play the game is in my head.. all timing ect (this norm only works when i have a big lead and there are no mobile obsticles around)

What ya think, this happen for you?

I don't think I play the sort of games where you can just rely on the timing.

very sad Jst,

and.. i dont think so, these are more of racing genre and from the look of your desktop your more of a Valve/ Cs (prob Cs source knowing you) fan

I just think when you play a game so much it gets set in and you do stuff without noticing.. like breathing ect.. it becomes a semi automatic function,

like, if you think about breathing you sometimes have to do it and the automatic response of the brain doesn't always work, but if you do something and don't think about it, you will breathe automaticly

This is true about most things that you do routinely though really, eg driving a car. Once you have done it for a while you do not actively think "hmm , now I'm going to shift the gears" etc.

So I guess no reason you should not pilot a game without thinking about it
