It’s somewhere after 4 AM, and I’m fighting my mouse cursor, trying to keep it from the button that will make me take a drink. It seems avoidable, the obvious right choice, but as I click to move on, the cursor slips, moving deliberately back to the drink. There’s a slowness to the movement, but it happens quickly enough that I’m not immediately sure what happened. Did the game register my click and contradict me? Or did it anticipate me somehow? Did it place me in one of those dreams where you see in real time, but your every movement is through molasses? Has it extended that instant while my finger depresses, drawing the cursor back while I watch, unable to stop what is already in motion? When the moment breaks, and my finger completes it’s eighth inch of travel, I’m hovering over the drink. I take it.
