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

[Spitfire175]

I've tried to press the spacebar to pause life. I was disappointed when it didn't work.

 

[The Austin]

When I sleep I see the floating roses from Way of the Samurai.

When I walk in the street, I have a need to throw a grenade to the windows.
(played MW2)

Hey, welcome to The Escapist!

[sub]Stay out of the basement. Horrible things happen in the basement. [/sub]

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

This is about as far as I've gotten, I think.

Though, I've had a couple others that weren't too severe.
Once saw a small scrap of blue paper on the ground, thought it was a Trinity mark from Kingdom Hearts.
And another time, I went to tell my dad that my keyboard wasn't working and I said "My keyblade isn't working." -_-;

I was Kingdom Hearts obsessed when I was younger.

In a maths class, after a week of hardcore Wii gaming (don't ask), I said 'shit man! That ain't right!' (a la Isaac Washington) to a question my teacher put on the board. Probably exacerbated by me pronouncing on 'g' in Mechanics- 'what'd that G stand fo'? Genocide?'

I am massively respected around school.

 

[Jack and Calumon]

After playing Mirror's Edge, I would stop and stare at fences, walls and the sides of small buildings thinking "I could totally make that"

Essentially this but...

When I was playing Farcry 2 alot I went Go-Karting (Bear in mind, I am only 15 and therefore cannot drive). When I heard the other engine behind me, my instincts told me to get out and deal with them as the kart had no mounted gun. Then I realized I was thinking of crap, forgot the brakes, then crashed, and bruised my wrist.

Calumon: He went looking for syrettes later.

 

[Leftylol]

I've look at lakes and slow moving rivers and thought "they've spent alot of time developing the graphics"

 

[jultub]

Not so much from gaming, but computer usage in general.

I looked out over my much less than clean room while trying to find something in all this mess. My fingers moved to the ctrl+f position on pure reflex, sadly it didn't work :/

 

[Samuel Cook]

Back when I was addicted to Runescape, I started seeing real life in those cruddy graphics. That was not cool.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

There usually is an HUD menu in the corner of my vision.

 

[splatterguy734]

I woke one morning after a bad night and thought to myself "restart at last checkpoint"

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

Oh, geez. Let's count the ways...
I now walk like an assassin, all lurky and what not,
I use phrases such as "graphics need time to render," "it's super effective!"
or my favourite, "you must construct additional pylons."
I've worked out rooftop paths all across my town a la Infamous
whenever I hear Disturbed music playing I have to look behind me for that monster from The Prince of Persia (Two thrones, I think).
There are others I can't think of.

 

[minarri]

I got the Tetris effect with Picross 3-D all the time; I'd see blocks when I closed my eyes and I wanted to chip away at them.

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

Whenever life isn't going to hot, I usually wish I could have saved farther back so that I could reload. *sigh*

 

[Xeros]

I played Rock Band so much that every time I would hear a song, I would always think what the chart would look like for it.

 

[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.

I do this but it's from skating, and if I find a nice stair set I have to tell my friends about it. It's also the thing I remember the most about being in Spain, how good the floors looked and how lovely the stairs were.

I mostly know I've played too many games when I go outside and it hurts my eyes.

Nice. This mostly happens to me when I'm up all night gaming. In fact, maybe that's a sign, when I stay up all night just to play!

 

[Daipire]

I blinked once, and saw the pick-up icon for a UMP-45 from MW2....

 

[Kouen]

when i wake up at 2:30 am just to check the steam rockstar sale....

 

[Chamale]

One time, while describing my debate tournament to my sister, I suddenly thought of Pokemon. So I said, "And then enemy DEBATER used REBUTTAL!"
