That buzzing missile alert from lethal skies always scared me. Once I was at my friends house and his dryer buzzed, I started to look around for a missile wondering aloud "where is it? where is it coming from?!" ugh...

Considering that WoW was a significant factor in my flunking out of college I'd have to say yes.
Whenever I take a hard knock I wonder how much health that took off and how much I have left.
And after finishing RE 4 and 5 I can't help but struggle when anyone holds me down.

After playing splinter cell I stuck to the shadows.
After playing metal gear solid I wanted to choke-hold people.
Last week I found my self standing in a shop thinking "I wonder if I have enough caps" (Fallout 3).
And I watch my surroundings much more, looking for cover, items and loot.

GTA IV. For a few days after playing that, every time I saw a nice car, I thought, "press the 'Y' button!"
A couple times. Usually when I am tired I end up saying things to friends as if I was playing a game with them.
For Instance:
A friend and I were at Best Buy looking at TV's. As we were looking an incredibly attractive employee came up behind my friend to ask if he needed help finding anything when I blurted out, "Look out T. You're being attacked." Which netted me quite the odd look from the lady. =(
Another time in a local Italian restaurant when asked what kind of pasta sauce I would like I blurted out noobsauce. My waiter must have been a gamer because he started laughing, so I didn't feel as dumb as I did in the first example.

I once played Opposing Force all night on hard, and the next day I spilled coffie over my table.. I reached for the quickload button. :C
I always want to quick save before I do anything important like sitting an exam or doing a job interview. And before I go to bed.
Theif in BG then maybe? Sometimes even now I still consider checking a room for traps...ben---neb said:
