[nettkenneth]

I played a LOT of BF2 in the first 2 years after release. I either played Sniper or Tank.

In BF2 vehicles, in case you dont know, there is a standard beeping warning for a missile being locked onto you. Then you have a few seconds of missile flight time to either move or pop smoke or bail out or something before you become someone elses latest battle stat.

I spent so much time in the tank over about a 6 month period that I was driving to work one morning in my car and a noise came over the radio that sounded like the warning beeper in the tank. For a full few seconds i was madly scanning the dashboard for the smoke launcher button whilst scanning the houses and trees on the roads edge for possible cover points.

Reality dawned and I had a giggle about it, but I watched TV instead that night

I'll randomly hear the achievement sound from the 360, I hear the click click clickety of my Rads going up, I can usually quote Three Dog randomly, And I'm nervous about stumbling into an Enclave camp.
Now to be around strangers and guns for two weeks straight.
Oh shit...

 

[a stranger]

every time i'm at school i hear the achveiment sound or the friend is online sound from the 360

The main way to tell is if you look at a real world scenerio and suddenly pick out the pieces of data that are relevant to the games you are playing currently.

Example: you are walking down the street and you look to see what would be the easy car on the street to hijack GTA style, taking in to accordance relevant cops, nearby owners, and crow density.(this did not actually happen to me, though I had a thought similar to it after Call of Duty for cover.)

This happens to me when I get hurt, I once fell half a sleep and kept having this dream that there was a spaceship near my toe, and it was shooting at asteroids that were hurling towards my toe( I had ripped it off that night).

Welcome to the world of gaming! Please leave all ties to reality at the door, and enjoy your stay!

 

[diamondwolf]

Eh... Will do I suppose

It looks familiar...

 

[Christemo]

when im getting bored of it. or my reflexes sharpen too much after some FPS´ing

 

[TOGSolid]

When you think about ship fittings while doing the horizontal mambo.


True story.


Fucking Eve Online.

 

[Soigieoto]

I was playing far to much Call of duty: Waw and a friend and I were walking in a park. Then I the artillery sound.

I was like OH SHI- and just dropped to the ground.

Made for a good laugh later though.

I keep seeing a little red orb in the bottom left of my vision slowly becoming less full.

A cookie goes to the person who works out what game I've been playing for the last four days.

I remember playing GTA 3 too much to the point i was freaked out driving on the left hand side of the road here in oz

You drive legally in GTA???!?

 

[joeyhndc]

I played so much burnout revenge that a couple of interesting things happened. First off, freeway driving speed became way too slow, everything was in slow motion. Second, since you get boost for staying in the oncoming lanes, I actually thought it was the default lane to be in when I was taking my written driver's test. I failed one question about hill parking but I got my license.

Oh and during my WoW days I'd hit my push to talk key to talk to people that came into my room while I was on the computer.

2 example for me:
After a solid week of Empire: Total War, I was thinking in turns. That is, whenever I was eating, I would go "Alright, do I have enough money to eat anything else before the end of... wait, what?" It was surreal.
God-damn Minesweeper. I made myself quit after I started seeing it while trying to get to sleep. My best time for Expert Mode, btw, is 80 seconds.

 

[LetheanLilith]

Lol. I remember a few years back, I was playing Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow for a long time. I went upstairs to get food.. There's a bush off to the right of my old house that looks a lot like one that a guard passes at one point in PT. I saw someone walk past it at about the same pace as a guard, and literally DUCKED behind the wall and mentally told myself to press "A" multiple times. >>

The only thing I dream about is using my Necron army, with me as a C'tan (the combined might of the four remaining C'tans) and spewing forth to exterminate all life on Earth. After that I dream of bringing the Red Harvest to the rest of the universe, and the next universe etc.

That, or exterminating the Boron race. They just get under my skin.

I have 40k dreams too sometimes but with me as a Warboss on a bike which is weird because there isn't one in Dawn of War and I never built one on a bike for the tabletop. Maybe we can meet on the astral and rumble.

When a friend and I were in the midst of our San Andreas addiction, we would stare longingly at any cop car rolling by and say fo-sho all the time.

 

[Iwamori]

I was watching heroes season 3 and "I don't want to set the world on fire" started playing, so I naturally assumed that nuclear bombs were going to start going off. I've played too much fallout 3

 

[Time Travelling Toaster]

I'll randomly hear the achievement sound from the 360, I hear the click click clickety of my Rads going up, I can usually quote Three Dog randomly.

This pretty much, I'm also likely to think of dogs as a friend, and when I see someone look at me funny I try and wish the dogs to attack them because of the Animal Friend perk.
