Immersion is when you wake up in the middle of the night and think "It's really dark in here, I should press F to turn on my flashlight."
People always say that, but I've found looking for NumLock when you need to dig through your purse for a minute or trying to /follow the car in from of you so you can talk to your friends.Yassen said:
Also, perhaps it's immersion when you're sitting in a hotel room, your boyfriend does his murloc impression and you look around wondering how you aggroed.
I do expect most of what you said aren´t real life experiences (and if they are I think all of you are pretty amusing company). Now for two examples that happened to me:
I was playing some FPS or another for hours and after I stood up and looking at my hands I thought "Wow, that looks exactly like in games...".
For the next one I should probably tell you that I hate barnacles, they aren´t really dangerous or anything, only annoying and extremely disgusting (who on earth had the idea of making them puke upon death?) Anyway, there was some repair work going on on the roof and they had thick cables hanging down. Well, I go down the stairs and see that thick, glittering thing hanging in the twilight and although I had already seen them from above, from this perspective they made me freeze in an instant. When I came back the same thing happened again...

Immersion is when you play Final Fantasy XI for two years without realizing it was a shitty game.
I'm glad to see other people have barnacle stories as well. those little bastards scare the hell out of me. having said that:
immersion is being absolutely horrified of driving under a bridge in your boat because you just KNOW there are barnacles up there, and you forgot your pistol.
immersion is trying to ctrl+s before you do something risky in real life.
immersion is threatening to bring down your legions on any friend that betrays you (GOD i love Rome TW)

Immersion is when, after playing KOTOR, you make a real-life decision and then wonder to yourself how many Light Side or Dark Side points it gained you.
Immersion is when you finish playing RE 4 and you go around your house kicking your doors open, so if there's any pesky zombies behind them they get door-checked.

Immersion is when you try looking down to look up. (What? Am I the only one that plays with invert look on?)
Of course you can, I wasn't disputing that. I still think you're a robot though.shatnershaman said:

Immersion is when after playing Civ IV, you make yourself a sandwich and ask yourself what unit to build next.

If you actually do decide to destroy all humans, then at least I have health pickups to keep me safe. (A little immersion joke there. That's the limit of my sense of humour)shatnershaman said:
