Has immersion ever made you do something extremely retarded??

[ae86gamer]

After playing Fatal Frame, for the very first time, I found myself reluctant to look into a camera.

Also, after playing MGS I found myself thinking of cardboard boxes as great ways to hide from people.

 

[Strong Intelligent]

I remember asking for a few bottlecaps from my friend once.

Apart from that, nothing.

I was wandering through a vault in fallout 3 and then my brother came in. I nearly shat my pants out of shock.

I get really pissed when I get killed like 18 times in COD 4 by the helicopter...I broke a controller when I threw it at the floor. And Fallout 3 on the Pitt, I was walking upstairs when I thought I saw a trog and almost pissed myself as I practically flew back to my room

 

[Mrsoupcup]

i have a few (these are all true btw)

one dead weekend i stayed in playing fallout 3 all day on my stealth/melee account and right in the middle of this intense, almost 3 minute sneaking up behind a supermutant fest my friend bursts in and asks if i want anything from the shops ... i immediately pause the game and go **aggressive whispering** "SHHHHH!!! THEY'LL FUCKING HEAR US YOU FOOL!!" .... confused he leaves .. and i just realised my retardation

another time after an assasins creed fest i go over to a friends house and instead of knocking i decide to climb in from his window .... little did i know he wasn't home ... just his dad ... he was pissed, in fact he was SO pissed he pretended not to know me when the police arrived (he didn't call them the neighbour did) LOL these days we just laugh about it

oh and long ago there was a blackout while i was playing silent hill 2 and i screamed like a *****

what about you guys?

I had played fallout 3 for a day and half staight and when I went to get food it all fell on the floor so I figured I could just reload my last save.

Me and my cousin were playing Resident Evil 2 with the lights off. We had gotten to this room where some dog-monster crashes through a one-way window (So we couldn't see it on the other side) and scared us half to death. Then my cousin (who was playing the game) got killed and we had to start over. He ended up near that room. Now, there was nothing special in that room, but we went in there again anyway. Expecting that dog-thing to jump out made it even scarier when it did.

Oh, god, our parents had no idea what the hell was going on. Funny times.

During Fallout 3 I was escorting Sticky to Big Town. To make him shut the fuck up, I put every single land mine I had next to him, and fired a mini-nuke at him. I then found his corpse after an hour and shot it with the Blackhawk for a couple of minutes.

I wasted 49 frag mines, 10 bottlecap mines, 3 plasma mines, a mini-nuke, and 67 .44 magnum bullets. All so that Sticky would shut up.

Sweet jebus, we have the biggest ammo dump against one person.

Mine wasn't me, but one of my friends after an AC binge tryed to climb a church, he jumped off, hoping there was a haystack >.> it was a low church though so he wasn't to bad <.<

Once, while playing some game based off of Star Wars ( I can't remember the name.), I was at some desert planet. Whenever I would walk on the sand, a huge worm or something would pop up out of the sand and eat the character. So, this lead to me trying to hop across chunks of destroyed ships. After a while, I decided to stop playing and turn the light on. I was standng on a chair, reaching over to the light switch, afraid of the ground because of a damn giant worm-thingy.

 

[Time Travelling Toaster]

Wow. Just wow.

That bad then ? and he sold AC to stop a relapse of that happening =/

 

[blacklab]

My buddy got so scared, he jumped up and pulled a hammy while playing resident evil.

I've played Resident Evil 5 way too much.
Recently, when I wanted to find my friend at a bookstore, I stopped for a moment and tried to remember where my right trigger was.

When I was in my WoW phase a while ago, there was a time where gold selling spam was getting extremely excessive. Anyway, they released a patch fixing this issue (and it did for a while). I was sitting at dinner with my family, when the phone goes off. My mum says "Aww, it's probably a telemarketer", and in that split second, I thought to myself "I thought the patch fixed them?".

Not the biggest of these, but I now have evidence that WoW ruins the brain.

 

[MBFCPresident]

Damn, immersion is more dangerous than I realized.

There was the time I went for about 4 hours seeing my entire World Of Warcraft interface, except with different abilities, complete with icon and descriptions. I had 127 health and gained 2 levels.

 

[Georg8]

Back when I used to play WoW I had walked down to my corner store to get some lunch right. I was at the counter and I asked how much gold did this cost, luckily no one I knew was there

 

[Angerwing]

I also made the gold mistake one time in front of my brother and step-brother, both of whom played at one point.

 

[lynxhunter]

Well i've had a few...

When i was playing Wow i remember being in town and checking my minimap to see if i had stealth detection on.....(there had been alot of raids on stormwind at the time)

After long amounts of time just being on the computer i was staring into space because i had nothing to do and i thought to myself "how do i bring my interface back up"....... I'm so glad i din't say it outloud.

And after playing COD5 for a long time i walk around corners with an imaginary gun and headshot people....

Actually when i think about it i really need to stop playing games for so long at a time
