You get up from it to make yourself a ten o'clock snack and realise it's gone half one. Then you drop a bit of butter by accident as you make the toast and your immediate kneejerk reaction is 'Don't go after it, it's an ambush!'

With Dynasty Warriors or with other games?

i would wind up day dreaming working out how to get tanks to open doors etc
