Immersion is when I play a turn-based strategy game for so long I start wondering how I can move in one continuous motion.

Destroy all Humans! Destroy all Humans!
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)
At least you don't have a rechargeable shield.
Oh, God! He's right! Up up down down...Hang on. This isn't a video game, is it? Damn it.

Immersion is when you look forward to grabbing a can of dew for a friend, because it raises faction...

There are only two games that achieve genuine immersion for exactly the opposite reasons.

The first is Contact on the DS.

The second is No More Heroes on the Wii.

Suda51 is a genius in the art of existentialism and it is an often overlooked fact that he regards games as an extension of his on artistic will.
There are no games that cross the line from player to creator as often and as well as Suda-san does on a rergular basis.

Immersion is where you see a crosshair in front of you after playing too many shooters.

Its also when you don't want to feel any negative emotions because of that girl in FEAR who kills people with her mind.

or in the same game when you are walking along THAT corridor filled with blood and the skeleton jumps out at you and you actually shout out in sheer terror.

or any other part of a game where you jump out of you pants at something (what better lone attire is there to play games in)

Only someone who has played Warhammer will understand this (this one's not from me, or in fact from a video game, but bear with me), immersion is when you start having sex fantasies about Slaanesh (chaos god of pleasure).

Immersion is after playing animal crossing for many hours walking around your own town asking your friends if you can help them with stuff for money or wall paper.
Or when you get to second base with a girl you say in a deep voice Level Up!


Another story is when I was playing persona 3 for to long I decided what arcana my friends are and only talked to the friends which arcana I wished to improve. They both ended with me getting slapped in the face.

Immersion is when you stop playing a game at two in the afternoon and remember that you were supposed to go to sleep fifteen hours ago

Immersion is when you have played Doom 3, Condemmed and Left4Dead all weekend and you get up to go to the toilet and when your cat rubs against your leg you scream, run away and then sit under you cover crying for five minutes.

Immersion is when you finish a six-day start-to-finish Thief: The Dark Project bender, play Half-Life and are driven to distraction by the sound of the HEV suit's boots.

*clomp* *clomp* *clomp-SQUEAK*

It's also when you find yourself locating the nearest likely exits and dark areas while walking down a hallway, and unconsciously taking nearly silent steps as you move. I still scare people by unintentionally sneaking up to them.

Immersion is when you play Runescape and, while walking home, catch yourself wondering why you aren't just using the Home Teleport spell instead. On two separate occasions.

Not the best entry, but an entry nonetheless.

Immersion is roaring in victory after beating down an army of Daedra which you thought for sure you would die to.

(oblivion does have its moments, lvl 20 doing 'Battle of Kvatch' is crazy, 3 Frost Atronachs, 5 Spider Daedra! 3 XIVILIA! BWAAAAAHHHH!!!! ORC SMASH!)

Immersion is whispering when your doing a stealth section.

Immersion is hissing at the enemies on your screen, despite the fact they cannot hear you.

Immersion is when you're playing through a Zelda game, and you wonder why your cat's stopped meowing for food.
