HAHA I had a minecraft dream last night, It was after a new updated and it was really cool and I was about to tell a friend about it over steam when I noticed Notch doesn't update, and why would the update involve me being in the game... then I told my friend on steam "Hey have you seen the new minecraft update? well it doesn't matter because it's not real and this is just a dream." then I kept playing until the dream ended.
Lmao That's awesome. I love those dreams when you know you're dreaming.

OT: One time I went for a walk and kept looking for Fire hydrants and water fountains to recharge my health.
Also I make sure to know where the best way to jump up to the roof in case any of those pesky jerks with guns come out of the shadows and surround the building.

Not quite on-topic, but I have found myself pushing my Ventrilo push-to-talk key while on the phone before now...

I was watching Taken (I believe it was taken) and at one point the guy takes out 5 people and then hides under the bodies waiting for 3 more guys to enter the room. I'm sitting there on the couch and just uttered "Fucking camper". Too much FPS for me I think.

You know you've been on the xbox for too long when you start hearing the achievement sound every time you do something.

It's funny how about half of the posts here can be summed up with "...when you go insane for a few minutes/hours/days"

But yeah, i had Tony Hawk Vision (seeing potential Rails, Gaps and Jumps in your enviroment for over-the-top skating combos) and Burnout Rage Fantasies (Thinking about slamming into other drivers in real traffic).

Also, i sometimes try to imagine how certain things in my daily life would look like as a game (try to imagine yourself going down a street in Third Person, actually quite hard), but i'll mark that under daydreaming ^^

I was tearing through Mafia II one day and then I went to drive somewhere and I saw some people stopped at a stop light and my first thought was to just drive into oncoming traffic to get around them. I can also reverse like a madman now because of that game.

When your quicksave finger is twitching whenever you need to do anything.
That applies to everything.

I have a rule:

No driving after racing/driving games. I really cannot afford tickets. As well, being in traffic I often think of exactly what tire I'd need to shoot to make the car in front of me crash out of my way. That would be Just Cause 2 and Crackdown.
I actually have a similar problem. Played GT5 for about 7 hours straight, got into my car and wondered why i wasn't making it to 150 mph in 6 seconds.
Damn, but that Murcialago is a nice car though...

AFter playing a little to much Demon's Souls I found myself peeking around corners to see if there where any enemies there and using my shoping bag as some kind of shield and holding it in a defensive position. Felt really silly when I caught my self doing it.

You know you've been playing Braid for too long when you reach for your Shift key to try and rewind time after making a mistake.

Also, you know you've been playing Saints Row 2 for too long when you turn on the radio and hear censor bleeps, and are genuinely surprised.

When if you can't find your way to something, you try to raise an imaginary sword to the sunlight so the beams will point you in the right direction...

Literally, I once came out of class and was about to go up to where I was meeting a girl, and I reached to my side to pull out the Ancient Sword. It was quite embarrasing.
Which game?

Haha, I did that too. (I think it was actually with Taken as well. :D)

I was riding my bike, and saw some ducks fly past, and I reached for my pistol. Damn you John Marston, damn you!
And you definitely know you have been playing too long when you run over a hooker to get your money back. I haven't done this by the way.

Also, whenever I see a cardboard box I say "It's just a box...back to your positions."
Yep, done that one, walked past a box, stopped, gone back to it, looked it and said "...just a box!" a friend of mine used to think that Snake was saying that from inside the box in the original MGS

You know when you've played L4D too much when you get gas and start making boomer noises or you hear special infected out in the street

You know you've been playing Fallout New Vegas too long when you go to the fridge and skip over the Sarsparilla, knowing full well that it won't quench your thirst.

A friend of mine, a respectable university lecturer, was walking through the carpark on the way home and no doubt looking forward to some WoW PvP. She was talking to another friend on her mobile, loudly (as you tend to on mobiles), and blurted out something to the effect of "I can't wait to get home and kill some people!", no doubt to the shock of any onlooker who wasn't aware of the context.

You know you've been playing DDR for too long when you instinctively imagine the arrow steps any time you hear anything remotely musical.
It's called 'The Tetris Effect', true story.

I notice I've played a game too long when I try to play a different one and assume that the controls for the other game work same for the one I was playing before (EX: I played AC: Brotherhood for well over 60 hours and then went to Okami, expecting to run faster by pressing R1 and X :D)
When you've been playin Uncharted and switch to CoD. I need to reload, quick R2.... bugger, grenade at my feet! BOOOOM! Batfred mistakes were made.

Alternatively, when it is 5am and work starts in just 3 hours!
