> immediately see though space and time, the garden of forking paths is laid out before you in its entirety, and every choice ever becomes clear as air on a winter morning in childhood I don't get that from chess, but I do get it from instagib railgun. The problem is, the other player see as clear as a falcon enhanced with some kind of alien nanotechnology, so I get owned, but I still often notice with amazement how many decisions and thoughts fit into a few seconds, it really does feel like time is slowing down by lot. I glance at some timer, a bunch of stuff happens, I glance at it again, and think "I can't believe only 4 seconds passed during all this".

> it really does feel like time is slowing down by lot It does! Not only that, but after such a game the brain is working faster, so the feeling persists. No coffee can give that effect, and it's the thing I really miss from my FPS days. However, videogames aren't necessary for that: other activity that needs you to act way faster than usual works about the same. (That becomes easy to notice when your days consist of the same old stuff...) I guess some people use extreme sports for that, but personally I'll have to find something more forgiving.
