Im currently in school and often find myself putting off work to play games. I remember when skyrim came out I couldn't stop thinking about it and often rushed through or didn't complete my work. So what games have you ignored your work for?

Well I reached a place where when I procastinate, I do it because I want to, and not because I feel the urge to play games.

ALL GAMES, sometimes I will start a game up, then immediately shut it down once it loads because it takes too long to load.

I generally only play games with a story and I play them once so I don't lose much time to them. I have in the past though. Counter-Strike tournaments > Exams and all that jazz.

Skyrim often causes me to procrastinate as of late.

Honestly Giantbomb causes me to procrastinate more then games do. I only play games at school when I am done with all my work. On the other hand I find myself going here in the middle of assignments to check the forums or for new content.

Um, no game causes one to procrastinate. You may procrastinate by playing a game, but it is never the game's fault. As somebody with severe ADD, this has been something I've had to learn the hard way over the past several years. But if you were to ask which games I played when procrastinating, the answer would be "most of them."

Often MMO's, I spend many a school hour thinking about WoW and Lotro.
Even better was Zelda Ocarina of Time though, I was mental with that game back in the lower grades, near obsessed.
I was just humming the Hyrule field theme all day in school.

StarCraft II. It's always so easy for me to say "one more match before I start working" even though that's not the case, and matches last so long that when I realize I should really start working, it's really late.

TV, gaming, and the internet are the reasons I don't have what it takes to do a PhD program. I will never get anything done.

I had to cold turkey LoL in order to work on my own game. I've played maybe 6 matches since last November.

Counterstrike still hounds me, but I'm bad enough at it that I can usually quit if I need to.

CounterStrike:Source or Skyrim. I usually just do it because I dread what the work entails (Term paper, making a study guide etc.)

I feel pretty pathetic saying this, but what does Procrastinate mean?

If my current games don't make me want to procrastinate I will buy a new one that will... Currently it's the Witcher 2 and Trials evolution.

i've found the assassins creed games to be intense time dumps

most games i'll play a bit every so often, i've spent 80 hours in Skyrim but thats divided into 1 - 3 or max 5 hours sessions over months

but theres something about the assassins creed series that makes me disregard everything else until its complete

internet creeping tends to eat up more procrastination time, or listening to music
