With the exception of the tile floors thing I have the same issues. I notice a lot of subtle movements and will usually immediately look towards it... leads to a lot of awkward situations where I look at someone just as they're looking towards me. Tends to lead to them thinking I was staring at them.The Rogue Wolf said:Countless hours spent playing the Thief series have conditioned me to notice when other people are looking towards me, and to take note of places to hide or escape through if necessary.
I also tend to dislike tile floors.
ACII made me want to visit Italy and take a swim in the canals of Venice. Pokemon makes me want to hope that my fire breathing partner could roast marshmallows for me along with other things.soren7550 said:When Assassin's Creed came out, I looked at pretty much every building trying to figure out how to climb up it.
Also, I often frequently think about how awesome it'd be if Pokemon were real (ridding on the back of an Arcanine, flying from one place to another with Pidgeott, etc.).
Dammit, why can't their be Pokemon? *cries in a corner*
Sorry, my mistake! Thank you for clarifying!King of Asgaard said:No no, you misunderstand. I'm not judging anyone, I'm just stating how I 'tick', in that I can't get immersed to the degree where my behaviour changes because of a particular game.chikusho said:SNIP
I apologise if it came off sounding as me judging others, 'twas not my intent.
I'm not sure if this answers your question, but the way I act differs depending on the company in that instance. I like to think of myself as similar to the Protagonist of Persona 3 in that regard.chikusho said:Sorry, my mistake! Thank you for clarifying!King of Asgaard said:No no, you misunderstand.

That begs to question, what _does_ influence the way you "tick", and in which ways?
Hehe, no problem. What I was really looking for, and which has been answered a few times in this thread already, were instances of reflexively and/or habitually applying game mechanics to real life through your mind.King of Asgaard said:I'm not sure if this answers your question, but the way I act differs depending on the company in that instance.

Other than that, I'm extraordinarily akin to my elder brother, right down to the mannerisms and figures of speech, so I suppose the fraternal bond spawned that aspect of my personality.
Apologies if I didn't really sate your curiosity, perhaps if you would elaborate on your query, I could provide a bit more insight.

Mannerims are absolutely contagious, and I can fully relate to your experience. But more on topic, say you got in a hostile or otherwise uncomfortable situation, and you suddenly had an impulse to call up your persona by shooting yourself in the head. Basically, when game mechanics get so hard-wired into your head that you react to situations by calling upon that knowledge.![]()
