four days as in all night too and never left his chair ecept maybe to pee? Or just from open to close four days in a row? In the case of the first, yea that's insane. The second, just borderline insane.

IMO there are sometimes when i feel i'm playing by instinct and just sort of know wher to flip and shoot with my shottie, those are some of the best feeling kills ever. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd--> I know exactly what you're talking about, I have this often in twitch based FPS games and this trait leaks over into my real life as well. Not sure whether it's an inborn trait or something I aquired through excessive gaming (this goes back to Steele's question), but it's certainly a part of me.
I have lots of examples, but this one is the most embarassing and damning (damning because it proves that it's a subconscious reflex). When I was a kid in elementary school they used to sell soft-serve vanilla ice cream cones on occasion. I was a big fan of the stuff and always asked the vendors to top it off and make it as big as possible.
Not hard to imaigne, the inevitable eventually happened. While in my sugar-high trance state I seemed to have been licking the ice cream a little too vigorously. The top half of creamy white heaven fell right off the cone, missing the lunch table, and was heading right for the floor beneath my legs. Without even having enough time to analyze what was happening in my mind, my legs shut, and my entire groin area was literally creamed.
Now why the hell would I do this? If I wasn't acting out of instinct, would there really have been an internal dialogue in my head saying "you know, the school janitors have it hard enough, I don't want to trouble them with another mess, I'll just catch this ice cream in my pants to save them the effort"?
