Default Re: Out of body videogame experiences?

I don't think I've ever felt completely out of my body. I mean, at times I get pretty sucked into the game, but I don't believe I've ever reached a point where I couldn't tell illusion from reality. This phenomenon is relatively easy to explain, though. Basically when you play a game there comes a point when you enter "The Zone" which is a state of your brain when you fully dedicate your concetration to the task at hand (playing the game), and ignore pretty much everything else. People that excel in a certain task have the capability to easily enter "The Zone."
