BioWare's been responsible for most of the videogame madness I've suffered. Daydreaming that I was in KotOR (Dantooine, hearing the theme for it in a field of grass), copying the post-battle stretches from Jade Empire in real life, after repeatedly failing a fight in Mass Effect thinking I can reload from a save for something in real life, thinking about people I'm with as party members, trying to access my inventory...
Forza 2 isn't the best positive reenforcement for driving, but Burnout Revenge is far more enabling of bad driving. "Oooh, traffic check... *CRUNCH*"

That's just smart thinking. I mean, earthquake, fire, and flood plans are overrated. I remember a few years ago they had us make fire escape plans for our homes, and I instead made a Zombie Survival plan. (Seriously though, I can prevent a fire in my own home, but when the gates of hell decide to overflow, that's out of my control.)Kontar said:
I've never really had life altering things happen to me, which I guess makes me a pretty sane gamer, but I did learn how to become really stealth like after playing Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.
I will admit, however, that I am addicted to Dead Rising right now. It does make me pretty weary of bees...
I never really had those game quirks in real life. Of course I have dreamed a few times about games, but I dream about all things I am involved in. Games just happens to be one of them. However, I have made a lot of D&D related jokes with some friends of mine about many topics, especially movies. When watching Troy, we constantly made jokes about failed saving throws and skillchecks.
I have been a bit addicted to games, but the signs for that was that I drew back from social life more, not going to movies anymore, but it never got really serious.

Whenever I walk past a window, I check opposing buildings for snipers.
I always have to check everywhere twice. (Maybe that's JUST the OCD but hey.)
And I always, ALWAYS ALWAYS. Continue to walk stealthily when noone can see me, or when I'm feeling perticularly paranoid.
I also create zombie apocalypse plans wherever I go.

i've also caught myself "typing" what i was saying to a person while i said it...
i need a life -_-
Only a dream about Bioshock. I remember thinking that I couldn't take on a bigdaddy in case I died but I wanted the little girl. Other then that I remember running from splicers.
I played Serious Sam 2 for a week straight and when on a shooting spree. Good times.

If World of Warcraft is installed on your computer, then addiction is either invading your house or ramming the door.
But when I get out of bed to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I DO check for Pyramid Head. So many creepy noises at night...

I often unconsciously hum the main Tetris tune when I'm trying to fit all the groceries in the bag. When walking the street I surreptitiously check reflections around me to see if I'm being followed, and I do this:
I also often wonder where the quick save button has gone.

Whenever I try to surprise a friend I always drop into a crouch run like in splinter cell. When I run I find myself imitating Altiar's movements.
I used to play a lot of Runescape. one day, I was walking home, and thinking to myself, "Why am I doing this? Why bother walking all the way? I could probably just do Home Teleport and..."
It's here that I stopped myself. That happened again another time.
Also, after talking about Bioshock, I accidentally reffered to my father as 'daddy', much to the entertainment of my peers.

I watched my neighbor fixing his lawnmower, frustrated he gave it a couple of whacks of his spanner, I just waited anxiously for it to upgrade to a better sentry gun!
Whenever I walk down the street and look at the walls of different buildings I look for cracks and other objects where Altair could climb or swing from.
After I played Dead Rising I started to see everything in my home as a potential weapon.
Sometimes, when sitting in the passenger seat of a car, I tend to have an imaginary controller in my hand, and pretend I'm driving the car in Forza 2.
I always think of Harvest Moon when cooking fish for some reason.
Oh, and I thought I knew Kung-Fu after playing 007: Everything or Nothing on the Gamecube.

when I was massivly addicted to monster hunter freedom i could almost always here the ambiace from the forest level and about a year ago i was so addicted to WoW that i would think I was playing while i was asleep 3-4 days of the week (since then i have totaly quit wow exept fpr the occasional visit to my friends sever as an admin)
but just the wendsday night i had a dream where i was a tauren realizing the vastness of the world for my tribe or something like that (see revolutionary girl utena movie for the basic of the idea of the dream, and yes its an amazing anime, and no don't watch it in front of your parents because its not hentai but it gets pretty damn close)
