...Let's just say my phobia stems from an unnatural sexual lust.
And yes, it is because of videogames.

What I do have Arachnophobia but I ain't afraid of ingame spiders (thank you uncanny valley). However what I fear in game is the creepy voices like e.g. the Regenerator in Resident Evil 4. It creep me out so much I either turn the volume down or mute it (which make it harder for me when they ambush me).
Arachnophobia in skyrim, and my fear of heigths in assassins creed, both are actually my favourites, lol.
Glitches. Mostly because I've read/watched too many creepypastas. Every time a game glitches up, it makes me feel like the game's going to eat me or something.
If I see corpses falling in a weird way I feel the need to rearange them, I saw that happen a lot in Crysis where shot enemies would end up lieing on the floor with their legs in the air, happened a few times on Hellgate:London too! And getting spotted by deathclaw's.
since that one scene of bioshock...
in fps i always have the fear of someone standing right behind me while i'm busy with opening treasures or doing other stuff where i couldn't defend myself instantly
half of the time in amnesia i spend doing 180° turn-arounds

Arachnophobia. It seems as though every game that I play has a giant spider that wants to kill me through it.
Gears of War: Corpser with lotttttsss of legs, and corpser babies in GW3.
Lost Planet: Giant Spider where it regenerates legs.
Skyrim: Bigg spiders.
I think I need to change my game preferences to something that does NOT try and kill you and has more then 2 legs.
Also fighting underwater freaks me.
DMC4 with the murkey water and fish trying to eat you. Ahhhhhh!

I hate going near or in water in games when I know there is something that can possibly attack and kill me, to the point where I will refuse to play the game for a while if it's necessary to be near water to progress. In games like Skyrim where underwater enemies are scarce I have no problem, but Arkham City with its giant shark? No way man, I don't care if its attacks are just scripted.
Also, I hate chase sequences and time limits. I like to have time to think.

I've been playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. recently, and it's developed in me a great fear of light sources when underground, because you know it's some **** with a gun who's about to shoot you in the face. Seriously, my hatred towards lights in that game is now at a Splinter Cell: Conviction level.
Oh, and also the mutants. They're dicks.

I hope you're referring to Condemned 2: Bloodshot's "Run for your life" moment. Epic terror.Griphphin said:
Some kind of cave dwelling shark boss in a Tomb Raider game gave me the water phobia, I can't deal with it at all... even when I was playing Jaws Unleashed (wherein YOU play the biggest shark out there) I was freaking out like crazy.
It's carried over pretty bad, I went into all out panic at the START of a tomb raider game cause it dumped you in the ocean and I couldn't see anything. I'm paranoid of water in all other games, I can barely function in water on WoW even when you've got everyone's health bar visible within a five mile radius and track beasts on.
I don't fear it in real life, just shadows, that's carried over to games, and it's worst in Skyrim at the minute cause EVERYTHING has a flickering shadow that looks deceptively like someone is stood immediately behind your sneaking ass.

Frogs. I used to have no problem with frogs but after Dark Souls.....
Seriously, trying to avoid those curse-inducing motherfuckers while knowing the only other possible escape route was to take on the nightmare maker that is the "Gaping Dragon" is the most desperate I have ever been in any game, nothing has but me in such a state. To top it off, I was out of Estus flasks.

Water levels. Most commonly fully-underwater ones where drowning is imminent, scrabbling around the area looking for refuge before you breathe your last bubble. Yeah I nearly drowned as a kid. At a school swimming lesson too trying to retrieve the brick the tutor throws down for you to fetch.
