You know you have played too much of a game when...

[Rumble Phish]

I'll be home. Alone. It's quiet, I'm reading a book, maybe eating a sandwich, and then...

Video game music. Faint, like it's coming from next door, only my neighbours don't play games.

I can never quite shake those echoes of video game music.

Also sometimes I hear the beeps of the engineers sentry gun from TF2.

Happens to me with the original Pokemon games' music.

Also after a massive L4D marathon I was with my girlfriend cuddling, almost falling asleep, when there was a sound I threw a punch to smack a hunter. Luckily it barely misses the girlfriend.

Not so much games, but ever since I read the Zombie Survival Guide I check every building's zombieproof-ness before entering.

I seriously thought I was hallucinating when I encountered blue, red and yellow Mickey Mouse emblems painted on the roads of a bungalow park. I was playing Kingdom Hearts at the time, It freaked me out. I also was under the influence, which only enhanced the experience.

I walked into my room at night and No joke, Checked for creepers and turned all the lights on to stop the skeltons
DAM YOU MINECRAFT!!!!

 

[Layzor]

A friend and I have been on a big assassin's creed binge and spent a good deal of time discussing how to scale all the nearby building at a BBQ yesterdaay.

When before taking a test I reached out for the quick save button only to realize there was no keyboard in front of me

 

[TornadoFive]

I walk into college and think, "Do I use the stairs, or just grapple up to the 3rd floor?" Too much Arkham Asylum

 

[Kiyotaki]

When I see my HUD constantly telling me that my Hp is low and there are red markers everywhere on my compass.
Thanks Fallout 3

 

[JemothSkarii]

When I walk into the kitchen in the morning and wonder why there's no alchemy pot to make my breakfast in.

Also, I tried to paint the air so I could change the wind.

Bonus points for those who name the games/series'

You start seeing everything and everyone in cubes. I'm not the only one, right?

I haven't started seeing people in blocks yet, but I see the mountain I'm flattening in-game whenever I BLINK. It's kind of scary.

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

Any time I see the letters "T" "O" and "U" anywhere, in that order, with any amount of spacing or other letters between them (I speed-read)... anywhere I see them sets off the same trigger in my brain. It shouldn't be hard to guess what that trigger is.

What does that mean? I wanna know, please.

OT: I once played 5 hours of Rollercoaster Tycoon right before going to bed.

I dreamt that I was in a continuously looping Roller coaster........for EIGHT HOURS (which ofcourse feels like Days in dream time, if Inception is right). Needless to say, I uninstalled the game the following morning. [shudder]

 

[Yegargeburble]

Not so much games, but ever since I read the Zombie Survival Guide I check every building's zombieproof-ness before entering.

That makes two of us. I can't walk around my dorm without thinking about how not zombie proof it is.

Also, when I get really tired (like I am now... thank you, insomnia), I will try and mentally quicksave before remembering that's something I cannot do.

 

[L3G0kees]

After playing a lot of anno I pressed the + button during the startup of my pc it made time go faster in Anno.

 

[El Poncho]

When i'm talking to my little cousin and the options Harvest or Rescue appears.

 

[ajemas]

I was told that I had 5 minutes to do something. I immediately thought "Five minutes left in the mission!" I've got to stop playing so much TF2.

 

[Schrodingers Nerd]

YOu dream about it.

 

[lambsheep]

Not so much games, but ever since I read the Zombie Survival Guide I check every building's zombieproof-ness before entering.

After reading the Zombie Survival Guide I have checked the best place at my school and house to defend from, long term/short term. The best place at school is my woodwork room and my at my house is upstairs, I would have to destroy the satires so no zombies could reach me, get a ladder.
Wait... I'm doing it again!

 

[Nikolaz72]

Ugh.. Yesterday I went out to see which ways the clouds were going in order to determine which way in north.. Which you can do in Minecraft as the Clouds always blow North away from South.. But it doesnt work that way in RL..

 

[rwege]

Wasn't rare for me to wake suddenly thinking I had droned too hard ( masters zerg in sc2 ) and couldn't hold back the coming push.
