I did get a huge endorphin rush when I was able to crack a system because it was like a video game.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I was young, I was on a real hot streak with 'Crazy Climber.' There was a good three-week span where I couldn't get that game out of my head. I could not get back to the arcade fast enough to try and climb up there and not get kicked by a potted plant this time. That one got under my skin.
There was a time when I wasn't working a lot. It ebbs and flows. Mostly I was just living my life and playing 'Fallout 3,' a very fun game.
Endorphins are a very powerful thing.
Problem-solving, inventing, hacking and coding is more of an adrenaline rush of endorphins rather than a feeling.
When you release endorphins, you just feel good.
Have you ever played a video game that didn't have escalating levels of difficulty? Well, life can feel like play, too, when we purposefully engage in activities that demand we test and develop our skills.
For me, if I'm just killing time, I play solitaire. I'm also guilty of playing Snood. I like games where I can shoot balls and match colors.
I used to be a video game freak, but I've kind of like eased back.
I spent a lot of years trying to beat the system and, in the end, the system kicked my behind good.
There's nothing like the endorphins from being fit, and the incredible endorphin rush that goes with that.
