i can't decide if I'm indecisive or not
I need a game/book I can really get sucked into. It's been a long while since I played a good RPG or read a book that just totally sucked me in. I think Final Fantasy 10 was the last game to do it, Harry Potter was the last book to do it. I guess you could say Firefly/Serenity did it as well.
It's hard to explain that feeling really. When a good RPG/book grabs me really good the world just disapears. I fall in love with the story and the characters and for a little while they seem totally real. Their problems become my problems and their feelings become my feelings. The characters are in for a wild trip and I end up comming along for the ride. It's a total release. I love it.
It's a horribly depressing thing though when it all comes to an end. Or even when the ride isn't over...but you have to pull yourself out of the world or risk being a complete zombie the next day. Those nights I sigh and lull myself to sleep while fantasizing about being back in that other world hoping maybe it will creep into my dreams.
I feel guilty about it. When I stand back and look at it from afar it seems self defeating. I pretty much just live from fantasy to fantasy. I avoid the real world like a plague. I run into issues in life and instead of really getting dirty and solving them I just look for an escape. Actually there doesn't have to be any issues going on in life. I'm just constantly seeking out the next fantasy world I can dive into. Im probably exaggerating a bit right now but it really does seem like thats all I live for. Everything else just seems like a chore.
Anyways.....suggestions anyone? I miss my Final Fantasy -_-
