You see quick time events EVERYWHERE.

Even worse when you're talking to someone.

Press A for nice response!

Press B for asshole response!

You know you have been playing too much heavy rain when you see icons on things you want to touch.

After playing Shenmue back in the DC days I started saying "I see" in a monotonous voice during lulls in conversation, and was getting some strange looks back.
More recently after playing the first Mass Effect I would end every conversation with a simple "I should go".

When you're able to identify the game the kids are playing in that scene in the second Charlie's Angel's movie where Drew Barrymore's outside their house naked, wearing an inflatable pool toy.
It was Final Fantasy 8, btw... It showed on screen for maybe 1.5 seconds, but you can clearly see it's FFVIII.
When you actually look at a video game instead of a nearly naked chick.

Touche good sir, touche, but honestly I don't find Drew Barrymore all that attractive. She's a decent film director though.
-edit- Also, here's the proof it's in that film http://www.slipups.com/items/8736.html

When you refer to flatulence as "BOOMER", have all the hot keys memorized for the game, develop insomnia as you develop new strategies for Total War or Rise of Nations.

On the same vein, but a little different, I know I've played games too much when I start looking for features that are in some games, but not in others. For example, I played BioShock 2 for 2 1/2 weeks, then started Mass Effect 2 and tried using plasmids. I constantly go into other games and throw grenades when I shouldn't because I play so many different games and just use the default controls.

Oh, the BIGGEST one is trying to use the VATS system from Fallout 3 in other FPSs.

As far as translating into everyday stuff, when you start using language from the game in real life. If anyone here has watched the show FarScape, they know that it uses different words for cursing(what the hezmannah, frelling, etc). I've caught myself swearing like that before. :/ That's a show, but it happens from video games too, FarScape was just an easier example to use.

After playing Assassin's Creed, I look at buildings to see if they are climbable.

I know when I've played too much Guitar Hero/Rock Band because the screen of other items(usually my laptop) moves away from me because my eyes are adjusting to not having things scroll at them.

Occasionally, after playing Saints Row 2, I consider jumping on the hood of cars to get inside them faster.
