After playing World of Warcraft, I see glowing exclamation points of the heads of people who have a "quest" for me.
Also, after playing GTA IV, I accidentally tried to open my car by smashing in the window with my elbow..........odd..........

Ditto.. when I visited my dad in the hospital last year I noticed that the hospital had only grated up/barred windows, gritty floors and all over the hallways there were those beds that are made to strap people down and keep them still. I felt pretty dizzy when I noticed the similarity to the Silent Hill hospital...DWing said:
Hah, same here, it's fun to visit people then look for strategic places like windows or pipes wondering if you could escape that way XDThe Great Fa said:
Speaking of which.. after a few quests in Oblivion where I had to follow some NPCs I started following people on the streets in real life trying to see if they'd notice me. Don't get me wrong, I just picked people that were heading my way, I wasn't stalking them. Boredom and too much gaming can do that to me..
It just so happens that I ripped open my hands, trying to climb up a elementary school just the other day.
Apparently I am not the bastard son of Altair and Faith...
Pity.
But I also have that ''hitman effect'', always looking for ways to get in and out without getting unwanted attention. It's real fun to actually try t, but people might thing you're paranoid, which might be the next step of the 'hitman effect''

once you get used to them they are alright, 24 caliber is probably the minimum needed for acurate shooting/firing/slinging?.
When i was younger i tied spoons to my hand to be like Wolverine. But that was the film not a game. And "X-men the official game" was shit. Although I made this fireball with cloth, petrol and a lighter and threw it at someone because it looks cool to throw fireballs. There really easy to make as well, and don't burn you 
If you get into a fight with someone, they don't actually wait patiently while you rifle through the contents of your pockets....=(
What they don't tell you is that all the pointless fetch quests, tutorials, and other random bullshit you have to put up with before life lets you out into the world levels you up to the point where rats and squirrels no longer provide XP. You want to level up, you gotta go pick on something bigger. I believe they call the quest "big game hunting trip".Amarok said:
I'm not alone! I swear, either I find travelling boring (I do it on the train as well), or I have ADD, or I play too many video games. Probably some combination of the three...The Great Fa said:
Maybe just alittle, I play games like half life, left 4 dead, and fallout, and I keep thinking when do we get to fight for something worth fighting for.
I think this is more of a mental exercise for me, but any time I'm stuck in a long line, I try to figure out how I would triage and treat the people if someone started shooting, a bomb went off, or something along those lines.
