I was in the middle of a quest in Skyrim last week when I realised I had fast travelled about forty times in the previous hour of play. Clicked a point on the map, loading screen, new point, loading screen again. I reached the objective without seeing a forest, without crossing a single road, without meeting one NPC along the way. I had "played" for an hour and remembered nothing beyond the inventory menus. I sat staring at the screen thinking: this behaviour has a name, and it isn't confined to the game.
