te27ch Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 This is an interesting phenomenon that I know most/all of you have had. It's when you get so absorbed into the game world and control that you just become a part of it, your computer controls are just an extension of yourself. If this sounds nerdy and stupid, perhaps you might need to try it for yourself. Here are some of my tips that might help you get the ultimate experience, feel free to post. 1. Get some really insane game. It's hard to acheive this in any JK series games, theyre not as fast. I recommend Quake III, or some deathmatch game at a skill level that is very difficult, yet not impossible for you. 2. Music. One of my favorite tracks for getting "in the zone" is from Unreal Tournament 2003/2004. For those of you that have it, it's the music for the "Tokara Forest" map. It's sort of a slow techno-trance, very calm, and very interesting in the cool dark forest trees and peaceful dim grasses (stained with gibs, of course...) 3. It helps if your room is dark and quiet, and also if you're a bit tired. The effect is almost instantaneous if you're extremely tired and it's late at night. Of course, if you're too tired, then you acheive another state of mind known as "falling asleep". That's all for me, and any comments/other tips/experiences would be appreciated.
Rogue15 Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 i had that when i got the original unreal tournament.
Nerd_Annhilator Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 Got that in CoD once, made me get 42 kills in one game and only 12 deaths.
jebbers Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 me and my bro listen to our favorite band,HeD (PE), when we play...and we play all thru the night until dawn and sleep for about 4-6 hours and then start playing again....and we've been playing DOOM III lately....before it would be just me and him playing TEAM Fortress.....fun when its only two cuz only one of you will be leaving the fight......but its almost like a euphoria when you get the right conditions.....

Samuel Dravis Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 Just need some angry music and lots of sugar. Meh. It just makes everything go well. RAH RAH RAH RAAAAAHH! RAH RAH RAH RAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
ckcsaber Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 Ahh...the almighty "zone". I've had my fair share of "killtaculars" and "killing sprees". My greatest one must have been playing Halo PC. I finished the game with 31 kills, 2 flag captures, and 0 deaths. Probably my greatest gaming moment.
Doomie Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 Hehe, good ole MotS. I never played it on that 'Zone' , but my friends and I have soem sort of annual LAN-party, in wich we play mots. I totally own them with soldier and Jedi. Gotta love it! anyway, i did get 'into' the game, so to speak. I racked up kill after kill, dodged shots fired (Or sabered) away, and i was number one in no-time.
Rogue15 Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 yeah!!!!! MOTS has to be the best sw mp game for pc. well, for me. me, redwing, jared, eets, rhett....omg those matches were the best..
RoxStar Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 I once went 25-0 in deathmatch for Unreal Tournament 2004.
Troopr-Undr-Fir Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 Fo sho! I play games just for those kinds of moments (well, sorta true :-/ ) I don't want to type to much... so I'll just tell you i've had a lot
BongoBob Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 I think one for me was when it was like 4 in the morning and I did the 343 Guilty Spark level on halo for the first time. I was freakin out with the captains messagem the killed covenent I didn't kill, and the soldier that was shooting at me and freakin out. Then when I got to the flood, I almost shat myself. More specifically when the combat forms showed for the first time and leaped at me. Tiredness really does enhance it doesn't it
Sabretooth Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 Cool! I used that technique using the TFmusic at DM-Deck17, Difficulty at Adept and goddamit!! 50 frags (limit) with just 17 deaths!!! Man, do I rock!
Curt-Man Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 he first time i got in the 'zone' i was playing time crisis wiht my brother, and he never beat me once, and that is why i have never rented it again.
ET Warrior Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 I sometimes find myself to absorbed and in the moment with video games that when I stop playing I realize that I have to pee so bad I can barely stand up and run to the bathroom in time.

I made a mess when I went on a UT binge.
Mex Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 Originally posted by InsaneSith at least you make it to the bathroom in time. I made a mess when I went on a UT binge. Uuuuughh! Err.. Gamers rush? Like an adrenaline rush or something? If so, then nope, never had any of those when playing a game. I'll have plenty when playing Halo 2 for the first time.
TiE23 Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 Crap man, i have been in the zone so manytimes wheb playing CoD, like 15 kills in one life TiE
Curt-Man Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 its seems like my brother is always in the zone when we face each other in halo, by the way, i rented battlefront, top notch.
BongoBob Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 I just had one. Playing battlefront, galactic conquest, rebels last stand agains me at hoth. I killed 79 rebels without dying. I would have gotten more, but some idiot in a chicken walker stepped on me But I couldn't believe it. That is now my favorite game. I am gonna play that all day tomarrow and the day after that. in fact, every chance I get until I have to take it back to blockbuster
