[Kotaku]I played Destiny and it was kind of boring (Destiny)

I also really like video games I can fall asleep to...

Oh god... Memories of falling asleep probing planets in ME2...

Wait...What did I just read?

This video isn't that much of an exaggeration.

Levi likes games that he can fall asleep too. This reminds me of Mass Effect 2's planet scanning/probing, which put me to sleep. Every. Single. Time.

"I'll play Mass Effect 2! What? I need some resources for that upgrade? No problem! I'll go scan some planets and find some minerals!" Fast forward 30 minutes later, and due to the music, monotony of the activity, and near complete lack of anything at all interesting going on, I'm falling asleep. Even a lengthy conversation with an Elcor would've been more interesting.

This isn't to say I always hated it though. Sometimes it was exactly what I wanted. Zone out and just become completely relaxed. Most of the time though, it just sucked. Hauling ass up an 88 degree incline in the Mako was so much more fun.
