Mass Effect effect

The aftermath of a night of playing sci-fi role playing game Mass Effect or Mass Effect 2 for the Xbox or PC. This is usually the result of playing more than 4 hours at a time or playing until the sun rises. Symptoms include falling asleep at work or just being disoriented throughout the day. Can alter sleep patterns and cause slurred speech. If this pattern of late night gaming persists it could lead to altered perceptions of reality where you want to make decisions like Commander Shepherd or make constant references to the game in conversations with people who have no idea what you are talking about.
