Eternal Darkness has made me scream at the TV when the sanity effects told me it deleted my save data.
It's a cruel joke.

I don't think it's that retarded, but once in a while when i play Forza 2 with my racing wheel, and i'm about to hit a wall i tend to pull away my arms from the wheel awaiting the impact, often accompanied by a quiet "Whaaaah!".
Also, while not really game-related, when i was in the height of learning to use 3dsmax and blender (3D-modelling and rendering programs), i couldn't look at anything without imagining a 3D mesh that would represent that object.

i know i pulled some of these, but i can't think of anything specific...
however, i know i would be terrible in a real life war situation cuz i know i would poke my head out to see where to shoot, and just duck behind cover to heal up. we all know how that would end

Occasionally I go "platforming" in real-life, usually humming the main theme from Donkey Kong Country. It starts of with me doing one of either as a voluntary action, and the other just seems to start up by instinct.
A friend and I played Age of Empires II so much that I would be walking around and would start to hear the menu music, as well as the ambient music during game. Random strategies would constantly playing through my head, and my friend and I would look at ares around town sizing them up for attack 0_o
Not game-related: I was watching Ring (the Japanese version) after recording it when I'd left a video running the night before (I was recording whatever was on before it). The tape was old and staticy. The second the final credit had left the screen at the end of the film, the static got worse and the phone next to me rang. I answered nervously, expecting some woman to give me death threats in Japanese. The reception on the phone was so bad, all I could tell was that it was a female voice on the other end. I was utterly terrified.
Exactly a week later, my home town was suddenly full of Japanese tourists.

this made me smile, so thank you, welcome to the escapist, may you slowly become desensitized in peace,Guitar Gamer said:

My Dad always used to play Medal of Honour or similar games on my PS2, and once after sitting cross legged for a while, I stood up and didn't realise my leg was completely dead and I juest fell right infront of the screen. My dad responded with "FOR GODS SAKE KEEP DOWN!".
Another good one was when my dad was talking to my boyfriend downstairs, I was 17 at this point, and after playing the Sims 2 for a while I came down thinking only my boyfriend was in the kitchen and walked in shouting "I'M PREGNANT!".... he was out of the circle of trust for a while after that.

I tend to yell at and taunt my tv when playing single player games. My gf also tells me that games can make me build rage to the point where my sorroundings are terrified of me.
Weirdly thats a stark contrast to my social side where I rarely have any conflicts and always attempt to remain calm even when facing absolute morons.
Not to say that some people don't deserve a beating

Once I spent all day playing on Left 4 Dead and my mic was broken so everything I said I had to type. After I got off I tried to talk to someone but instead of saying it out loud I tried to type it in the air. Then I got on Gears of War 2 and instead of using my mic, I started looking for the keyboard on my controller... (This was without the messenger thing that they made for the 360 controller) even though I had the mic on and plugged in.
Certain games make me yelp in some kind of false pain when my on screen character gets hit or when I hit walls or obstacles on racing games.
