Battlefield 2 made me "mouse over" someone in the distance to see if they were red'ed out cause I couldn't see their nameplate ><
It's not a game, but after watching Star Wars I went to reach for the remote only to see it on the other side of the room. I tried force pulling it to me for a full minute before realising I wasn't a Jedi.

I can't go into a graveyard now without staring at the statues to make sure they don't sneak up on me.

I can't fairly say why, but Unreal Tournament 2 with its awesome multiplayer had me and my buddies looking around corners at work before going around them. Don't wanna give up that easy frag, you know. Stupid goo gun...
Also, good ol' Breakdown for the original Xbox had me wincing every time one of those mutants would brutally beat my face out through my anus. Visceral first-person hand-to-hand combat at its best. Guns are for space marines.

I was so immersed in WoW a couple of years back I actually dreamed about it/believed I was in Warcraft in my sleep. After pulling 24 hours without sleep then doing 8 hours of work, when I came home I pretty much passed out on the sofa. Apparently my mum told me to go to bed to which I replied "I can't" then started shouting "where are you?". She said "I'm in the living room, where are you?" to which I said "I'm in the Undercity getting repairs, I'll be in Orgrimmar in 5 minutes once I've caught the Zeppelin"
I vaguely remember this, but 18 months later they still won't let me live it down.

I've probably done something like this a few times, but the only one I recall is after laying Portal all day and night after release, when I was dragging myself to bed at 6am, I stood up and thought "Screw it, I'll just make a portal to my room." It took me a few seconds to realise I didn't have a portal gun.
I don't think I've done anything exceptionally silly due to immersion, but I do plenty of minor things all the time, such as making an attempt to be as quiet as possible in real life while doing a stealth section in a game. (breathing quietly, whispering, etc), and also holding my breath while lining up a sniper shot in games like BF2 to steady my aim. (though, this does seem to help somewhat).
I have a similar story to that. A the time I was heavily into WoW and during a day at work, I was about to get up from my desk to head to the vending machines when I actually found myself wondering if I should summon a Voidwalker, just in case.olee12343 said:

Back when I played video games, Rock Band specifically, I had three drum sets: acoustic, practice and RB. One day I began playing Rock Band and, for some odd reason, the notes weren't being hit.
I slammed the kit to the ground, later thankful that it was my practice kit, therefore sturdy.

I was playing a game and my friend wouldn't shut up at all, right in a cool cutscene. So, I pressed Start so he'd shut up for a second. Unfortunately, the game paused instead.
I came very close to ramping my motorcycle off an empty multi-car trailer, until I realized the only thing waiting for me on the other side was going to be a firey death. This happened after playing several hours of Saints Row 2.
