Ever play a game too much and it carries over into real life?

[TacticalAssassin1]

Trying to quicksave before doing anything, i do that alot.
Also, i've played so much GTA4 that sometimes i want to look behind me and try and find the 'c' button, even though all i have to do is turn my head.
Also, assassins creed climbing, spy backstabbing and GTA driving always tempt me out in the public.

EDIT: Just remembered, sometimes i hear the 'blink' noise you hear when you pick up money in GTA4 out of knowwhere. And once, before i had the game, i went to my friends house for a sleepover and after he went to sleep i went on the computer and played it nonstop until the morning. Now every time i think of his house i think of gta and when i think of gta i think of the smell of his house. Wierd.

One time after a nice long weekend of Ocarina of Time, I had the urge to cut the grass looking for rupees... And just recently I've given my life to Disgaea 2HD and at work someone asked for a boost, I instinctively wanted to go into the action menu hit "lift" then "throw" It kinda freaked me out

Well, after playing Morrowind for about 2 days straight without sleep, some of my friends and I whent to the local pool and i proceded to wave my hands, make a swoosh sound and step onto the water like i was trying to walk on it.

At about that point i said 'Damn, i must have failed at casting water walking'. to say the least i spent the rest of the day feeling like an idiot (and catching up on sleep)

Got really into emulators and their save states when I was 13. Every boss battle of every game, I was hitting shift+F1 more often than I ever will in any other game, program or practical use of a computer. It got to the point where any time something bad would happen in my life, I would say something wrong or be late somewhere, my mind would turn to the default "load save state".

This isn't what you meant, but lately, when looking at the computer just doing normal forum-ing and video watching, I see images of Dwarf Fortress blinking.

I calculated the freerun sequence it would take to get up my school after I played too much Assassin's Creed II.

For five days we would play a Left For Dead campaine every night. I started thinking all the little noises in my house were infected.

After playing Crackdown and more recently Crackdown 2 too much, I hear the telltale orb sound. It drives me crazy.

I went on an Alan Wake binge recently and freaked out at any shadows I saw, thinking there were taken in the darkness. (I'm pretty paranoid)

So after playing wow all day like 2 years back i went to the grocery store with my mother.I was 16 and it was summer so i was like ya 22 hours without sleep lets do it,im at the grocery store and i start slowly dozing off thinking about my bed i slightly wake up and i imagine a toolbar and see my hand go to click on my hearthstone...i never felt so ashamed.

Every time I see a FAMAS I think "LOL that's a burst only weapon (which it of course isn't)!" thanks to MW2 and Counter Strike.

 

[Bouncing Ferret FIlm]

yes i had just beat Kingdom Hearts two when i went to go see Spider man 3... i was laughing at the end cuz i kept seeing the triangle at the middle of the screen and SORA or RIKU were yelled before combo shit happened.

 

[qazmatoz]

I played Rock Band drums, so I thought I could play real drums. Definitely wrong, so I learned to play the real ones too.

 

[Brad Shepard]

I got a couple here.

Im kinda a youth paster (helper) at my chruch, and we play hide and seek sometimes, long story short, MGS skills, and yes, i mean the cardboard box thing

After playing PoP for a while, I did have the need to wallrun, which i did.

and thanks to left 4 dead and dead raising, I look at spots around my town and go
"Yep, i could hold up there, just in case."

Last night I played so much Dragon Age that I dreamed it...

Also when I was playing WoW, a couple of times I wanted to use the hearthstone to get where I wanted faster. >.<

 

[sheogoraththemad]

other than dead rising nightmares, not much..
and once after too much MW1 I hide under a roof when an helicopter was flying over.
edit: Damn memories keep coming up, after playing morrowind, walking like a khajiit and calling everyone outlander, fetcher or N'wah!

 

[Proverbial Jon]

I started seeing fictional rare plants in real life after playing too much Oblivion.

 

[ShotgunSmoke]

After playing Mass Effect I kept expecting a dialogue wheel to pop up while I'm talking to a person in real life.

Not long ago I was watching True Blood season 2. To cut the long story short, there was a lockdown in a building and the alarm was the same as the nuke in MW2. I PANICKED and looked at the bottom of my view to see the timer.

Funnily enough, I never gave much thought to freerunning Assassin's Creed style. But I still get a massive urge to shove people out of my way whenever I'm in a crowd.
