You know you've been binging on a game too long when...

[Aetera]

I think we've all had that, "yeah, I've been playing this way too much" moment after playing a game for a long time in one sitting.

For me, it was when RE4 first came out. I'd been playing for 8+ hours straight when our next-door neighbor started up his chainsaw to cut down some dead tree limbs. When I heard his chainsaw start up, I freaked out.

If I play a game that I save/die a lot in, I tend to be retardedly haphazard in real life until I realize there's no such thing as a back-up save.

 

[badgersprite]

When you get up to get a drink, and suddenly think your white kitchen walls are portal surfaces.

When you instinctively look around the house for a save point before going to bed.

When you hear video game music in your head when you're doing ordinary tasks.

When the one hour = one day cycle in Oblivion or any other game throws off your body clock and makes you confused as to how time works.

 

[Taekro]

When i start to hear in game sounds and im not anywhere near a computer.
i was just...
YEAH
I was hearing the message ding from my MMO while on the job.... good times.

^This, so very much.

If I play a game where you cast fireballs, ki-attacks, etc, for a a couple of hours, I start having the feeling that if I can concentrate enough I might be able to form a fireball on my hand...

I was looking around for portable surfaces at work the other day. Turns out the floor would be useless, but the walls would come in handy. And the ceiling is perfect.

When the printer was on the fritz yesterday, I assumed GLaDOS had something to do with it.

I've gotten these three before. I actually attempted to use "Wait" before to pass a couple of hours....

 

[NinjaDeathSlap]

When you've been playing Halo Reach so long that you get a triple betrayal by firing a Banshee fuel rod into a group of allies who you genuinely thought were enemies.

 

[Someone Depressing]

I had been playing Silent Hill 4: The Room for hours on end, when I had imagined I heard a loud noise from the bathroom, it sounded like digging, and wooden slabs being penetrated by some sort of sharp, searing tooth. I pissed myself... and, then the door being opened, and then one of the floating zombies, just gurggling, coming closer, and closer.

Pants were changed that day.

Weird stuff those games can do to ya'... weird stuff...

I hate that feeling. Especially when it doesn't work and you catch yourself being more insane than usual.

OT: Hearing game sound effects when I'm not playing the game. It's worse when you know what the sounds signify and you think, just for that fraction of a second, that you made money/got into a battle/initiated a conversation.

 

[Leole]

When you make a mistake and you keep thinking "Quick Load, Quick Load"

When you look outside and go like "Holy shit, nice graphi- Oh wait"

When you start a fire or something and you begin to wonder why didn't the FPS drop.

 

[lovestomooch]

Playing Borderlands, I was talking to my bro and imagined a red critical appearing above his head as I blew it off (in my head of course). He said I made this really weird face for a second.

 

[hazabaza1]

When you try the final boss 3 times in a row, and with the mixture of dying, grinding, and the final run, it takes you about 4 and a half hours to finish... and it was all worth it.

I love you, Persona 3.

 

[rokkolpo]

Ow man, when I was 12 I played Gta Vice city to death.

Needless to say cycling to school went....troubling.
On any regular day I cut off 2-3 cars.

And nearly killed myself 7 times.

EDIT: Also flexing my left index finger whenever something shitty happened.
Thanks Prince of Persia.

EDIT (again): When you walk around town looking for climbable surfaces.
Thanks Assassin's creed.

 

[Psycho Cat Industries]

Actually tossing out the pokeball to get my exeggutor.Yeah,good times.(No this is a joke)
Seriously,I will occasionally hear electronics noises.Nearly freaked when my head played the new Black theme.

 

[natural20]

...If I've been playing too much Angry Birds, the yellow ones sound like they're shouting "Wolverines!"

 

[Unfolding Stars]

When I played Rome Total War for too long I started seeing armies of Romans everywhere. Whenever birds flew past I thought I was being attacked by arrows.

After playing Mount and Blade for too long I started to think I could easily restore a previous point in my life if I did something incredibly stupid.

 

[KaiRai]

My friend farted i his car, and quickly pressed ALL the window down buttons and screamed "POPPING MY COOLDOWNS!"

 

[Sixcess]

I remember sitting in a meeting one day, dead tired after an all-nighter on FF7, and there were moments when I felt I was seeing what people were saying in blue boxes over their heads.
