I've been contemplating booking a day off from work to play Mass Effect 3 next week. Is this sad? haha All i wanna do is play the game and eat crap all day, to me this seems like a lot of fun. Have any of you done this before?

If you have the days and can spare it, sure do it. Personally I would never as I'd rather just use them in a vacation mode. One random day off isnt going to make me forget work for long to enjoy the day off and most places in America have ****e for vacation and sick so some of us even have to use vacation to keep from getting fired.

I feel like to be efficient at work, you have to be relaxed. If that means taking a day off to enjoy your game, go ahead! When I was younger, I would skip so many days just to play videogames, I nearly had to repeat the 6th grade! :laugh1: Just don't overdo it like I did, and you should be just fine.

Our dont roll over for the most part. So it's a use it or lose it. Some places are nice enough to give you money for un-used days though.

I have done this before, but only as I really needed to use up some of my holiday. Although the Guild Wars 2 release may make me need to book some time off!

I failed my sophmore year because of San Andreas. Played all night, slept during class, came home played some more. Take a lil nap then played some more. For like 2 months i was playing 14-16 hours a day I think .
