Oh wait, this is real life.

[ProfessorLayton]

Has something in gaming ever been repeated so much that it's become etched into your brain? Something that you're so used to that it becomes sort of a habit?

For me, I was so used to finding bobby pins in Fallout 3 to pick locks with that sometimes in real life I'll notice a couple of bobby pins sitting around and my first instinct is to pick them up so I can pick locks.

 

[A Weary Exile]

Sometimes I'll light my hand on fire and remember 'Oh wait, this isn't Bioshock!'[/bad joke].

 

[sms_117b]

I keep missing the shuttlecock in badminton, this is due to a distinct lack of VATS mode.

I also find my skills regressing with time, if life had a proper leveling system in place, this wouldn't happen.

damn it

 

[QuirkyTambourine]

After playing AOEII for a while, or any RTS, I'll start seeing green bars over peoples head and wondering how in hell I'll be able to drag select them

 

[Andantil]

I keep a knife under my pillow when I sleep.

 

[walls of cetepedes]

Once, I tried to quicksave before jumping off of a roof.

 

[oppp7]

After playing TF2 for hours I'll go to the bathroom and check behind myself for spies.

 

[L3m0n_L1m3]

After I kill someone, I expect to see +10 appear.

Usually only police appear, though.

 

[ZeroMachine]

... No, actually. I'm good at seperating fantasy from reality.

When I dream, though, that's a completely different story.

After Ape Escape, I voewed to never return to the Zoo. I haven't seen a penguin for 7 years.

Once, I tried to quicksave before jumping off of a roof.

Did this well trying to clean a pool. I was afraid I was going to fall in... L.L

 

[Chipperz]

I once woke up after a decent-length sleep to see my PC glowing with "use" stars like in World of Warcraft...

I also occasionally check round corners to make sure a spawn-camper isn't there, but I've so far managed to convince myself that it's a big joke that makes people around me laugh.

 

[Erana]

I feel like I should be able to jump higher.
ALso, when I was a little girl, I looked at a go-kart and began to plot how to take it, 'a la Elder Scrolls.

Then I realised what I was doing, and didn't play a video game for a week.

How old were you? That's a little disturbing...

You're a meanie... I'm not disturbed, I swear! ;-;
Anyway, I think I was half asleep and bored on a car trip, so...

 

[Sh0ckFyre]

I play my Xbox so much, I tend to hear the bleep-bloop noise in my daily life. It's fucking crazy.

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

Don't even get me started. The most common thing is when I hear a BBC broadcast in the background, I look around for Space Marines trying to kill me.

 

[Blackadder51]

Its not game related but it fits,

I always hear the msn beep thing....

 

[Monkeytacoz]

i forgot there is no cheat on my cellphone to turn the cops off
