How Much has Gaming Screwed you up?

[interspark]

i was in town one day going to get my watch repaired, when i dropped it off the man said something like "just leave this with us for a while and come back later ok?" and as i was walking out, for a split second i considered immediately going back in (thinking of the fossil resurrection process in pokemon) luckily, reality struck me just in time and i was saved from humiliation

any similar stories?

I often try to find the button on my watch which tells me which achievements I've earned today.

I keep trying to save my game.

I am very scared that I cannot.

^If you die you'll have to start al over

 

[Mr. Grey]

^ I know right?!

Plus I'd like to save my progress when I'm doing good at a poker table.

Games have taught me not to let others see me when I'm approaching them (hell, I learned this back in the day with Pokemon). My friends and family really don't appreciate this as much as I do.

Ah, you're not alone... I often wish that I could save my game, try something incredibly stupid, then load back. Life would be much more interesting with saves or at least a checkpoint here and there.

Not much, but I do pine for a quicksave/quickload function. Except for when I was playing a lot of GTA, I had this compulsion to jack cars in my school's parking lot. I haven't started running everywhere I go yet, but that might be a positive influence.

I seriously once though it'd be okay to do something stupidly dangerous because I had an extra life...
I keep looking for ammo in the corners too.

INCOMING HIND! TAKE SOME FUCKI-

And then I'm like.....
OH shit.... someone kill me right now... (Happened next to my girlfriend).

i want to pause sometimes and i have never tried to (unlike the pause thing) but i often fantasise about a reload button

I once tried to open the steam browser in the middle of class one day.
Just went to click tab and shift,than noticed I had just tried to open the steam browser...

I sometimes think about doing something absolutely ridiculous and completely socially inappropriate, and am about to quicksave first so I can reload afterwards, until I realize that I'm not playing a game.

*get in a car accident* quick load 1! QUICK LOAD 1!!!!

For about 2 hours I thought I was seeing Heavy Rain QTEs in real life... seriously I was seeing O and [ ] hovering above my fridge and everything!

I do that too.

You've probably got autosave on anyway.

OT: After playing games like Condemned I feel wary about going into the dark and always worry about weapon degradation if I'm using something to swat a fly.

I now collect bottle caps for the inevitable apocalypse. I will be SO RICH.

If something bad happens I try and find the reset button, then I realise that reality is not so forgiving
