You know Video Games have ruined you when...
- Thread starter Cherry Cola

One day last year I was driving to school after not long passing my test. A driver behind my was flashing his lights at me, so I pulled in, and being tired, scraped my front left wheel trim on the curb, I hadn't realised I'd done it at this point though.
So I get out of the car and the other guy had pulled up behind me to tell me that my back left wheel trim looked loose. So I nudged it with my foot and it snapped. So i pick up the pieces of my now shattered wheel trim and put them in the boot (trunk? for the americans). After that a guy walking his dog points out that I had shattered my front left wheel trim on the curb.
So both wheel trims on the left side lost in roughly 60 seconds.
Anyway, to bring this back on topic, I had been playing loads of Fallout:NV and I couldn't comprehend at all that day why I couldn't just quickload to an earlier point and correct my error.

...when walking alone in a rough neighborhood, you don't check for robbers, you check for spies.
Too much playing engie for me...

All real life experiences.
I attribute stat increases to every accessory and item I wear/carry. Shoes=speed/defense, pocketknife=attack, etc.
I've had dreams entirely in 16-bit sprites.
I've had dreams as third-person shooters.
When wandering downtown, I make note of every ledge I could grab and use to reach the roof.
Every time I have something that contradicts what someone just said, I begin my response with "OBJECTION!!"

When you remember that sitting on a bench with two other people does not actually make you instantly invisible to everyone else.
When my friends and I do something epic in our tabletop or LARP games, someone sings the Zelda item theme.
When, depending on your actions and how they fared during the day, you think that you either rolled a perfect 20 or nat 1'd and you're either praising or cursing the Random Number Gods.

That actually sounds pretty awesome...NinjaDeathSlap said:
OT: When you start looking at things and think "How could I use that as a weapon?" and then try to pick it up by holding the square/x button
When you walk around wondering what surfaces would allow you to put portals up and which wouldn't.
You know games have ruined you when you stop playing games. Seriously.
I understand and appreciate the intent of this thread, I just don't like the idea that games "ruin" people.
Now that I'v finished complaining:
... when you get angry at the camera controls IRL because you can't see enough.
