Has gaming infected your mind?

I keep looking at buildings and walls in real life and thinking, "I could totally climb that." And I always go rock climbing, so chances are I could actually climb it. And it is really hard to keep myself from actually climbing it. Damn you, Assassin's Creed!!!!!

I once thought after a report about a terrorist attack on the news : 10 kills in one life, that's a good ratio...

then I asked myself wtf was wrong with me

lol here is another one I got. By playing various games with choices of dialogue to attempt to persuade characters. Now I have the habit of focusing on people's face expressions and thoroughly but briefly think about it in the middle of a conversation. The latest game example is Dues EX.

I pay attention to nonverbal communication and base my choice and tone of words on their reaction. So if I ask a question that tends to make someone sit up more straight with a less formal stance, widened eyes and a more relaxed face expression I think in my mind *Ah yes, I am in the right path! + points for me! Ok this person likes these questions, lets focus more on that*.

Its quite helpful with making friends tbh. A habit picked up by games I find useful

Everytime I see something shiny I feel the urge to go pick it up. I constantly evaluate everything around me as use as a melee weapon in the event of a zombie apocalypse. I scan nearby buildings for handholds and footholds that would enable me to free-run my way across the rooftops.

Curse you video games. Curse you.

When I moved into my appartment I didn't have internet for 2 weeks. Played Minesweeper in that time. ~8 hours a day.

When I went to sleep or whenever I had an "idle mind" I saw Minesweeper playing itself in my head. Lasted for about a month till it finally stopped.
Honestly, Minesweeper completely destroys your brain.
Had the same with Tetris, though not nearly as bad. (Maybe 2 days long).

I was also thinking about how I would place Portals in the "real world", though those were rather conscious thoughts.
