Yea this got pretty bad for me. The worse is when I was drunk and couldn't sleep because the blocks kept moving in my head and made me sick

I knew I wasn't the only one. The worst thing is, I have ADHD so I keep on playing random scenarios through my head during class and I never get anything done :<

Often-times when I pick something up, I envision myself as adding it to my "inventory".

Stocking up the refrigerator is always easier if Theme A is playing.

Good, because as entertaining as it is, I don't get anything accomplished! How long does it take to go away? O-o

I once saw a TGM cabinet in a dream, but I didn't get to play sad.gif
The thing is, it showed the exact same splash screen as the real thing

Also, I always get the piece I need, and the I block is always in my hold. cool.gif

One time when I was really tired and drifting in and out of sleep, my mind was wondering and thinking about games. Suddenly I was stuck in a precarious scenario where I wanted to T-spin a piece into place, but I couldn't because Francis was entwined by a Smoker. o.O

Shortly there-after I decided it was time to goto bed. :x
