What is the feeling/psychological state called when your playing a game or virtual world & lose awareness of surroundings?

Asked by VisionaryAdvait (167points) June 5th, 2010

There is a time when you are playing a game or in a virtual world (like Second Life) and you become so immersed that you lose sense of surroundings and time sometimes. I suppose this can happen with novels, and other things or even a movie. What is this psychological state called, and is there a specific state for visual games that might be different from just TV?
