Ah! It kinds reminds me of naptime in preschool. No one may say anything, but there's something that comes over everyone all at the same time. One person hears the call and gets on his computer, begins a game, another gets the unspoken message and engages his own machine. The odd ball who was too busy munching on cheetoes misses the message, suddenly realizes how quiet it is and emerges from the cabinet. He is a floating spirit, gliding between the limp, hunched mounds of his once inspired friends. All is quiet. He becomes increasingly tired and grabs his laptop. Plopping down on the couch he considers gaming. He considers to himself, "perhaps they aren't so bad, after all we do need some time to ourselves, but games don't really allow time for yourself, alone". Give in or resist. Be in the culture or resist. Do what you like. 'All in moderation', except, of course, for the phrase itself.
