When you know you've played too many video games...

[Assassinscreed548]

In this thread, I would like you all to post something you did, in real life, which might have been caused by playing too many video gams, or too much of a certain video game.

mine is:
we were having a really retarded substitute teacher..i thought it would be funny to be a douche to him all lesson...when he finally got ticked off, he came up to my desk, grabbed my arm and pointed me out of the classroom, that is when i made a gesture with my hand, as if i was about to assassinate him with my hidden blade, unluckily enough he saw it coming so he managed to stop my lethal...air-assassination...that was an interesting lesson..the principal was rather confused..

so what is your story??!

Here's mine: I play a lot of Oblivion lately. So I'm at work at a restaurant, I decide to have a coffee, and suddenly I convulsively visualize an idea comparable to: "Coffee - Fortify Speed and Willpower 3 pts, Drain Agility 2 pts for 2 hours on Self."

I once tried to look at my Pipboy 3000 without realising it and was staring at my wrist for about a minute before someone said "are you alright?"

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I "Press Start" to get out of bed in the morning.

Your sir have the Tetris Effect:

As for me, after playing InFamous for several hours, I worked out routes home across the rooftops of buildings.

I played so many video games I was impelled to discuss them on the Internet with strangers.

Seriously, though, back before the arcade in my town closed, I was a Dance Dance Revolution nut. One thing I and all the other players noticed is that, after playing DDR for any length of time, you would start seeing scrolling arrows whenever you closed your eyes. I actually never met anyone that this didn't happen to.

I wonder if this happened to people who played Guitar Hero. I played a lot of GH, but I don't really remember it ever happening to me. What makes the difference, I wonder?

I once tried a hadouken. It failed.

When you look at some snow, and thinking "Oh great, the Graphics need time to render."

Swear to god I thought this after I had played a week of Mass Effect.

 

[Berserker119]

When I went rock climbing the other day, I tried to run up the wall, then grab onto it, and keep going, like something from assassins creed. I failed instead

Back in the days of quake 2 there was a mod where you could get a grappling hook. Can't remember the name of it but we played it quite a bit. While walking one night, my friend casually raised his arm at a bridge that we were passing under as if to grapple it, and after a second realized what he was doing and was totally shocked with himself.

Unfortunately, today I accidentally stepped on my cat's tail, and out of the blue, I wondered how many hit points it had left =/

 

[Vek]

After playing fucktons of BF2 back my Freshman/sophomore year of college, I actually started looking around as I walked from class to class on campus for the best spots to call in artillery shots, land helos, and snipe from.

That's about as much as I've ever done.

 

[Banana Phone Man]

I start hearing noises from games in real life and I also sometimes quote what people say from a few games.

I used to fight like Sub Zero. Hell it worked when I got in my first fight as I won.

Here's mine: I play a lot of Oblivion lately. So I'm at work at a restaurant, I decide to have a coffee, and suddenly I convulsively visualize an idea comparable to: "Coffee - Fortify Speed and Willpower 3 pts, Drain Agility 2 pts for 2 hours on Self."

I also do this quote a lot. If Im shopping for things with a couple of my mates who play RPG's we always do stuff like that. "T-Shirt! +5 Constitution and +2 to Warmth!". I shouted that out when several hot girls were looking, I never felt more embarrased in my life.

 

[Mr. Bojangles]

As for me, after playing InFamous for several hours, I worked out routes home across the rooftops of buildings.

I have similar experiences only it's because of Tony Hawks. I imagine a guy skateboarding on the roofs if I'm bored

 

[TheDoctor455]

For me...
Well, after playing through Portal a few times... one time when I was going shopping with my folks at the mall, I saw a white, clean, smooth-curved blender, with a blue circular logo on it... I just kept backing away from it the whole time we were in that cooking store... that thing just creeped the hell out of me.

 

[Kyuubi Fanatic]

After playing Web of Shadows I tried to Web sling between rooms in whatever building I happened to be in at the time at random moments. Hurt myself at home, at church, and at school.

These kinds of things happen to me quite often actually...

 

[Shanannara]

I keep trying to save my life so I can go back if I screw up. Damn you Dragon Age.

 

[DividedUnity]

Everytime you hear about nuclear weapons on the news you hear the words "Strategic launch detected"- Damn SupCom

Also you think of joining the military until you realise theres no respawns in real life

 

[Holty07]

The Tony Hawk one is the same for me. After playing it for a while, (or Skate now) a walk down the street becomes a search for rails and lines to skate on.
