Oh wait, this is real life.

[Asymptote Angel]

Playing Condemned always makes me paranoid that there are very violent, unpleasant people behind and around me. I seriously peek around the corners of my doorway when I walk out of my room to go to the fucking bathroom.

Oh well, I guess that means it's an effective horror game.

Oh, and sometimes I hear the Xbox Live "boop-beep" noise randomly while I'm going about my day. There isn't any rhyme or reason to when or why I hear it, I just do. It's weird.

I once jumped down about 10 stairs right after playing some fps. It just seemed faster....

 

[Biek]

When I played GTA IV I used to get slightly nervous when cop cars drove by. I always thought:"I better not accidentally touch any cars now." and always made sure my hands were empty.

 

[iTommeh]

If you were to ever see me playing football, you'd see my little finger on my left hand twitch. Why? I'm looking for the bulletdodge key.

Every time I go into a shop, I'm preparing to press B, 4, 3, B, 6, 2, to buy my M4A1, Kevlar and my helmet.

Not so much a gaming habit, but whenever I walk into a room full of people, I can feel myself getting +v. Fucking IRC.

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.

When I was 11 I called Butterflies "Butterfrees" and goldfish "Goldeens" and kept having to correct myself >.<

Isn't that kinda a given law wise? XD

 

[AvsJoe]

If I play too much Minesweeper or Tetris in a short period of time my brain refuses to stop playing it in my head. When I stop thinking I see my imagination is actually playing the stupid game. Annoys the crap out of me.

 

[WhiteTiger225]

Looking at the drain in a sink a thinking it looks pixelated.

Living in CT and realizing whoever did the Graphics here had a hardon for grey shading everything >.<

 

[Stormz]

I once jumped down a flight of stairs and only realized what I had done after I was in pain.

Well in GTA IV its kind of second nature to walk around holding a weapon and stealing vehicles is your primary method of transportation.

 

[Captain Lag]

Once I was at the hospital and there was a policeman behind me. His radio made a sound like a combine on HL and I freaked.

 

[UAProxy]

I still find myself reaching for random household objects across the room with the assumption that they'll fly into my hand.

 

[Jerious1154]

After playing GTA 4 for a while I sometimes get an urge while driving to rear-end motorcycles at high speeds to send the drivers flying.

I've always been able to resist though. So far.

 

[Zacharine]

I actually noticed myself thinking once that I should just chuck a fireball down the gas-tank of a person who once made me absolutely furious.

Upon discovering this train of thought in my mind, I was too shocked to stay angry. All I could think of was 'Well, now it has happened to me. I'm officially 100% nerd." followed by a self-declared exile of all things related to computer- and role-playing-games for a month. I even gave up all computers more complex than a cellphone for a week.

Enough is enough and once the limit between fantasy and reality gets too blurred it's time for radical action. That was an interesting, but a nice month nontheless. Made me greatly appreciate literature once more and the reality check was needed.

Whenever i do something right the Final Fantasy congratulations music plays in my head and i expect money....

 

[Deleric]

I never leave home without the knife.

Everybody knows you run faster with the knife.

 

[Jedisolo75]

When I used to play Beyond Good and Evil I got so used to sneaking that when my wife came home and said hi I instantly started looking for a vent to jump into and hide.

 

[NikolaiTampernun]

Well, I once dropped something in my car after playing Half Life for a while. When I went to look for it, I made a blind reach for the flashlight key so that I could see.

 

[Pm0n3y]

I dropped my dad's toolbox on the ground, and expected a sentry to start building.

I can relate to this. I was building a sentry one day, and i kept thinking a spy was gonna sap it.
