When I was introduced to it I was going through a hellish time in real life. So, I would come home from school and play. It was so immersive that I would forget all about everything. I would spend every free moment with that game. Even in school, I would spend time drawing my character or making to-do lists... It got me so hooked that I actually began seeing cliff racers in the sky. No other game got me hooked that way. And none have done it since.
