Poll: Have you ever had gaming-induced hallucinations? (Like the "Tetris Effect")

[Piorn]

After playing Assassin's Creed, I started to see my ancestors, but they didn't stay longer than 30 seconds so it was fine.
Seriously, no, but I had many cases where I thought of saving alot(Metroid Prime) or had dreams in 3rd person(Pokemon and Prototype).

Was there a Hunter on that roof?

Whenever I stub my toe I immediately wonder how many potions it will take to make the pain go away.

Almost all day on Thursday I thought I was hearing the sound sniper bullets from Bad Company 2 make when they hit the ground beside you. Also, after playing GTA: SA for a few days, after I had been to a convenient store I was about to switch to my machine gun and shoot the cashier, except that one was out of habit, not the Tetris effect.

Not so much, but I've had some crazy game-induced dreams. Like one night after playing MW2 a lot, I dreamed of being in a wooded area and making a ton of headshots with this crazy gun - it was like an old rifle but the barrel was pretty big like a shotgun. Also, there wasn't any gore lol.

I had a similar dream but with BFBC2 and I was fighting with a controller.

When I had swine flu after playing to much Banjo Kazooie N&B, I imagined that everything was made out of building blocks and parts from the game. And I almost tried to "improve" my car by removing excess weight. Painkillers are fun.

I also get a HUD for about five seconds occasionally.

Anytime I hear the word shepherd, I think of two things: General Shepherd (the douchebag in Modern Warfare 2) or Commander Shepard (the douchebag/douche-baguette in Mass Effect 2).

There was a period during high school where I played a lot of Tetris. And after playing it I imagined a game in my head. Performing a lot of t-spin doubles can do that to you.

And sometimes I hear the achievement sound for the Xbox.

After playing Portal, I would look at plain walls and expect portals to appear.

After playing a lot of RockBand 2, my vision was kind of scrolling down when I looked at walls. Just like the game, where the fret board is scrolling "towards" you, my vision was scrolling down. It was no biggie, just weird. It's a sign you have played too much RockBand.

Whenever I exercise I see a stamina bar slowly going down.

Before I got my PS3 I used to hear the 360 achievement noise randomly. Hell, I still do, sometimes.

Recently I've seen small planes flying around, and my first thought was "Shit, enemy UAV."

Then I realized I didn't have a Javelin on my back, and that I was indeed in real life.

Lol. Were in the same boat bro.

Yeah no kidding. Oh, one that's really bad was I saw a red light somewhere at work, really small light, and I thought it was an enemy claymore.

After a day or so of straight Halo 2 Legendary, me and my friends were seeing snipers on the rooftops... Bloody one shot kill aim bots.

 

[Cody211282]

After playing guitar hero for to long I used to see the notes when music played, it was the only thing that made work fun.

 

[EeveeElectro]

I have something a little like that... I check corners and boxes because I thought I saw some materia =(

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Quite frequently, actually.
