Signs you've been playing video games a bit too much.

[CrashBang]

Everything OP mentions has happened to me... a lot... and I love it
Also I start behaving like the character I've been playing as, e.g. my house at uni has like 7 flights of stairs and I'm on the top floor so after playing Uncharted I'll jump down them as much as possible and do a roll afterwards whenever possible, orrr after playing MGS I'll sneak down them reeeeally slowly
...love my life

 

[Raven191]

Ah Duke Nukem. Great game, too bad my new computer will not run it anymore since the game is too low-res for it to run.

You know you've been playing too much video games when you start hitting people to spycheck.

 

[Eggsnham]

I see a parking lot full of cars, or a room full of clutter and immediately think "Jeez, that place has got to be laggy.."

 

[DSEZ]

To this day, every now and then I hear that little "bloop" from Xbox 360 achievements wherever I go.

me too i get freaked out when that happens

 

[kmiik]

I've played Oblivion enough that i might as well be a licensed Herbalist. i'll be going along and see a plant by the sidewalk or whatever and almost immediately know what it is.
I have more than a thousand songs on my music thing, almost half are soundtracks from games.
I have memorized the speech by Arcturus Mengsk talking about the new Terrans and imminent flood.

 

[hazabaza1]

While it's not me personally, a person I know can recite Andrew Ryan's speech during your descent into Rapture word for word.

I myself, just analyse if areas have good cover.

 

[Valdsator]

Sometimes when I hold things I make sure I can see them, so it's more like an FPS... uhh.

Also, I often keep quoting games in my head for no reason at all.

"IT'S TIIIIME TO SPLIT!"

 

[Tharwen]

I just start to get bits of the game overlayed onto my vision.

 

[BladesEternal]

I dream I'm either in the game itself or playing the game... then I wake up from my uber pwnage and realize it never was real. Sigh... v.v

 

[BladesEternal]

After playing WAAAAY too much Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, I started seeing Nirnroot whilst walking outside and one time almost ran over to collect it!

For those who don't know, Nirnroot is a turquoise coloured plant in the game Oblivion. It is very rare and there is a quest which involves collecting them. Of course whenever I see that unique colour in the game I instantly rush over to grab it. Doesn't quite work the same in real life

AH HA! I'm not the only one! Yet I hear the sound randomly as well... damn you Nirnroot quest.

 

[TheSquirrelisKing]

After a long weekend of playing "Call of Cthulhu", I spent all night playing Guitar Hero.
The dream I had that... morning ...was very, very odd. It involved me, in a school, fighting shoggoths and using guitar hero notes as health items.
Also when I was little I was walking, turned a corner and saw a raccoon. I immediately reached for a pokeball XD

 

[Terramax]

I tend to find that I've been playing games too long if the game starts to haunt my dreams...

Yeah, I got that when playing WAAAAAAAAAAY too much Silent Hill.

 

[Master Kuja]

I tend to find that I've been playing games too long if the game starts to haunt my dreams...

Yeah, I got that when playing WAAAAAAAAAAY too much Silent Hill.

It's Silent Hill, isn't that a given, really?

 

[bassdrum]

There have been a few instances where, after playing multiplayer games for a little bit too long, I was scared to see people without their names over their heads--because they were obviously on the enemy team and therefore coming to kill me.

In a way which doesn't invade normal life quite as much, I'm prone to referencing games, at least to myself: when told to formulate my opinions on genetic engineering, I was strongly tempted to cite games like BioShock as examples.

 

[chromewarriorXIII]

I've gotten the reticules from games burned into my retinas for a while, that wasn't fun.

Also, after spending a particularly long time playing Fallout 3, I walked out of my room and my dad made a grunting noise from his bedroom. Before I even had time to think I pressed hotkeys, pulled out my assault rifle, and was ready to deal with the Super Mutant. Then I calmed down and realized it was just my dad. It was pretty scary to feel my fingers move like that when I wasn't holding a controller.

 

[vanillabeans320]

I was playing Splinter Cell. When I was done I walked outside and it was dark, and my first impulse was to go for my goggles

 

[Ahole28]

1# When you threaten to divorce your Xbox 360 and take custody of the hard drive for getting red ring of death.

2# When you say noob tube to everything and use the word epic alot.

 

[Joe Matsuda]

My eyes start to hurt and I get a headache...

then I realize I have no recollection of the past 14 hours, am in a Mexican dessert with a nothing but a lampshade on...and I'm missing a tooth.

I finally stroll into town & everyone says "it's that American who wanted to be a drug runner to pay for more TV games...didn't work out, huh?"

 

[GnomeThief]

After playing way too much Fallout 3, I now find myself very reluctant to throw away the bottle caps from soda and sparkling juice bottles. I currently have 7.

 

[Raven-Loveless]

When I play DDR for too long and when I shut my eyes, I see the arrows.

Or when my friends and I start reenacting cut scenes.

Also, when my eyes burn the day after I pulled an all-nighter playing a game.
