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

[firemark]

After staying up really late for a couple of days playing gears of war online, I woke up to the sound of chainsaws and completely flipped out.

 

[EeveeElectro]

I saw someone in the train station who looked like he was holding an invisible rifle and pulling the trigger.
He may have been insane, but he grinned at my STARS bag so I think he was a gamer.

True story:

Doing radiation in physics. Half-lifes to be exact. So, I was trying to picture my physics teacher in a HEV suit and with a goatee, when he addressed one of the people in my class (who was bored) with

"You look like a zombie today, I should hit you with a crowbar, that should wake you up"

I was like: "HOLY SHIT!!!"

Nobody noticed the reference apart from me (as I'm a maths/physics nerd and always pay attention XD) I reckon it was coincidence, but still...

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

hehe, awesome! i quite often shout "get over here!" like Scorpion did... though if i applied that in a fight we'd probably just stare at each other awkwardly for a few moments as nothing happens... that or i'd kill someone.

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

i also imagine this quite often... and i never even got that into Tony hawks underground (the only 2 i ever played)


I once smashed some plant pots by an accident in my older brothers back garden, i said "sorry... thought there might be rupees in them..." fortunatly, he laughed and said he probably wasn't going to use them in any better way than a set up for a joke like that.
bet i wouldn't get the same response at school.

 

[Blizzarded Soul]

Been playing alot of Metro 2033 recently. Went outside the other day and freaked out because I couldn't find my gasmask.

 

[AngloDoom]

My friend, playing Dragon Age: Origins left his door open whilst playing the game. I heard the enemy-music and I felt my adrenaline rush and I thought to myself "Shit, Darkspawn!"

Then groaned in realisation.

 

[PrimoThePro]

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

Whoa... Me too.
That's... Eerie...

 

[pianoman]

I've already started forming my party for the zombie apocalypse (thank you Zombie Survival Guide and Left 4 Dead), and deciding who would be the best sacrifice if needed.

 

[DazZ.]

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.

Been playing Deus Ex recently. (Yes, the original. Yes, Steam sale.) I managed to get my hand crushed at work while moving a pretty huge oven and I was sitting there thinking that my accuracy is going to be way down with such low HP on that arm..

 

[Brikson]

While driving down the road, if I change lanes and don't hit the reflectors I hear "Perfect Transition"

 

[GrinningManiac]

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"

 

[Beryl77]

I had that after I played Mirror's Edge. While walking outside I looked at stuff and thought which one would be best to climb on to.

 

[RheynbowDash]

When I heard a plane over head, I waited for someone to say the words: "ENEMY UAV SPOTTED!"

 

[Gonad23]

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."

Ha! I blatently going to start doing this.

If I'm really bored I often think of what Special Infected would be most effective wherever I am. Say like a charger insta-kill or somewhere to smoke the surviors (random people) from.

 

[Demons_Bane]

Waking up because i got punched in the face, that you first person games. On another note playing too much pokemon once made me attempt to pull out a poke ball in real life when i saw a dog, also when i saw another person i readied myself for a battle...

 

[Snowden's Secret]

When I heard a plane over head, I waited for someone to say the words: "ENEMY UAV SPOTTED!"

One of my friends does this too, though he says "AC-130 in the air!" for the larger planes.
To digress, occasionally when I wake up I get the urge to continuously blink in order to clear my vision, like off Alone in the Dark.

 

[major28]

after completing the dark brother in oblivion i would enter rooms and contemplate how i would kill certain people without getting caught

 

[ender214]

I had that after I played Mirror's Edge. While walking outside I looked at stuff and thought which one would be best to climb on to.

Same thing happened here. Except I actually decided to attempt to take up free running. "Attempt" being the key word.
