The Game made me do It!

[swolf]

Whatever 3rd person game I've been playing, I walk like that person. Happened in Vice City, San Andreas, Uncharted, GTA IV, Assassin's Creed, ACII and now it's starting with Red Dead Redemption!

I don't wanna walk like a cowboy! <_<

Haha, that's amusing. On that note, when hanging out with my family after Army Boot Camp (years ago) I had an annoying tendency of trying to walk in step with them (same tempo with my left foot hitting the ground when the person to my right's left foot hit the ground).

Back on topic: I tend to check corners and walk faster after playing FPSs. Also, when I got the end of the real life "Oregon Trail" I mentioned that "We made it without anybody dying of starvation"...sadly, they didn't get the reference.

I have a jacket that looks like Phillip's from Penumbra. Eh, I guess a lot do, but that's how I like to think of it.

Where did you get that? I want one!

OT: I aim "down the barrel" sometimes during airsoft fights ala BLACK or Fallout 3. It's usually not subconsciously, but I still feel compelled to do it for some reason.

 

[blackflare]

hey it wasnt my fault i was reprogrammed by a russian terrorist

 

[GoWithDAFro]

Constantly hum game themes, and have a tendency to imagine a sword materializing in my hand, ocaissionally with sweeping arm motion. When I'm actually holding a sword, I'll act out the combo attacks of any sword wielding protagonists i can think of

 

[joshuaayt]

"SO TASTY!" happened for a month, everytime I finished cooking something, after playing Monster Hunter Tri.

Oh, and after researching Final Fantasy VII for a while, I tended to shout out "Super-Ultimate War God Supreme Slash!!!!" (Omnislash's original name) every time I launched some sort of finisher in a game.

 

[Goldeneye103X2]

Sometimes....Just sometimes... I may find myself saying a little catchphrase...A very unknown one....and that cathphrase is....

HENSHIN A GO-GO BABY!!!

Yeah, you know it's mindblowingly awesome.

I also occasionally walk either like Sam Fisher from Conviction, or Like Ezio Auditore.

 

[JemothSkarii]

I do like an a capella version of the FFVII and FFVIII battle themes whenever I play an FPS for some reason.
Whenever I play Resistance, I shout 'Merica!
Whenever I want to show my friends something, I go 'I have THIS!'
Whenever somebody asks me something like 'Why X?' or something similar, I go "Because DRAGON FIST!"
i quote a lot of games.
And thanks to Vergil in DMC3, I've order a trenchcoat and Katana.
Oh, and I can't walk up behind someone without aiming at them and going 'FREEZE!'

 

[Mr Pantomime]

I tend to act out the Rolling Stones theme from Crash Bandicoot a lot. It varies from humming to tapping to mumbling to playing it on a random instrument. Its actually not the games fault, a friend of mine got it into my head a year ago.

I bought a coat just like the one Leon has at the begining of Resident Evil 4 because I thought it would be both stylish and warm. I was correct.

Id like to know where you got this coat, ive been searching for months. All I can find is regular bomber jackets. Theyre cool, but not what I wanted.

 

[subject_87]

I often find myself humming the Canabalt theme and the song the Engineer plays on his guitar in Meet The Engineer from TF2. Also, I often fantasize about using a portal gun to get from the train station to school.

 

[migo]

Final Fantasy victory and Chocobo themes. I hum them all the time.

I think I got it at Target.

 

[Wondermint13]

Oh yeh, Whenever I'm walking down empty corridoors or staircases I always slip into a Silent Hill kind of mode. I slow down and start immitating loud footsteps and making wind noises. =S

 

[SaetonChapelle]

I remember passing my drivers test. I had my cell phone texting ringtone as the Final Fantasy victory theme and my friend texted me at that very moment. While the instructor was making my license I did a pose while it went off. xDDD

I also find myself hiding under boxes during work and slinking around. We have this game where I work where we will snipe at each other when the other isn't paying attention. My newest tactic is drawing bombs on sticky notes, running past my mates and dropping them beside them. xD

 

[pyrosaw]

Because of TF2, I am forced to say "BONK" everytime I play baseball.

 

[PhoenixBlade]

Having the mario theme stuck in your head and humming it, spreading it like a plague until everyone it work hates you because they cant get it out of there heads, was a good day

I also have a tendency to say "Holy Throne!!" to much Warhammer 40K

Checking corners for bad guys to but i dont do that to often.

Well I know where I'm going today!

At work sometimes me and my buddies will run around like counter-terrorists.

When I was younger, a bunch of my friends and I got obliterated drunk and were walking back to my home from the lake (about 1.5~2 miles) and we decided it needed to be done tactically. We were fucking running and shit in a wedge formation and all that fun stuff, was hilarious.

One time at work after replacing a lightbulb I said, "I'm making a note here, huge success." My boss didn't quite understand.

1. fuck the title, I lost the game.

2. Only as a joke, I've never intimidated anything from a game while trying to be serious.

But how will those damn games know their place if you do not strike fear into their hearts with intimidation?

...Why did I not notice that!? Haha

After playing SWAT 4, I've noticed that I pay alot more attention when using spiral stairs.
