Also, I have a lot of "distractions." Wife, son, get an email, etc that I really need to take care of. When a game only tells me something relevant once and then is gone, It's really damn frustrating. Put in a quest log for zeus's sake. I may have been looking away or talking to someone or doing something else on the side. This is good advice for a program too. Young people (man I can't believe I'm saying that) don't understand. You think your app is the center of the universe. You don't understand that someone may get interrupted while filling out your online mortgage application. The kids may wake up, the wife wants something, you get a phone call. Don't _punish_ people for this. Don't let my session time out, etc.

"Put in a quest log for zeus's sake.

My game of Persona 3 spanned three years, I think. Didn't have a reason to finish it until suddenly my evenings were tied down with caring for a new (sometimes colicky) infant, which isn't a literal 100% of your time job, but the shattered remnants of your evening left over certainly aren't useful for much else.
