Not gaming related but: Whenever I am sitting down not doing anything, I'll air type, unconsciously.. Dunno what I'm typing though.. Also, If I play any game for more than 4 hours straight, I keep playing it even when I'm done.. Like, recently I've been playing Oblivion, and now ever time I pick-up something, I hear the appropriate sound from Oblivion, like a book I hear the page-flipping sound and fork I hear a soft ding.. It's aggravating..
I played 15 hours of wow once. Then I looked back at my clock but instead of turning my head i right clicked and turned the camera on the game...
Except for the occasional, "Holy shit that sounded exactly like that sound from.....", nothing much recently. Though I could play TF2 in my head for a bit, but only on 2Fort :/

Very wierd, but sometimes when I shut my bedroom door at night I can see Alma peering around the corner. I blink and then she dissapears and I creep to my bed and jump in. I also shouted "BOOM! HEADSHOT!" when watching the news and someone is killed :S

After playing Jedi Academy for years, I walk around using commands for everything. For example: When I sit down I type /amsit in my head.
-I'd act like Sims sometimes. -I'd look at cars and imagine which car they are in GTAIV. -I press 'y' before typing sometimes. -I imagine life as a physics engine and fall/pick up random stuff. Now I don't play them as much.
[QUOTE=BackflipHatchetAttack;17388766]Not really in a game, but in a Steam chat. I'm arguing with this guy, and he calls me a faggot, at the same time my mom walks in to tell me dinner is ready. I fucked up and typed "ok" to the guy in the chat and told my mom "fuck you nigger".[/QUOTE] What did your mom say?
Oh yeah, and after playing through Mirror's Edge, like, 4 or 5 times, I began to see all the possible routes when just walking. And I [I]swear[/I] I saw chairs turn red.

I keep thinking as if I'm in a war or some shit, when I was walking through the forest with my friends I was thinking "What would I do if we got ambushed by vietcong right here?", and I always take mental note of the nearest best cover. Too much ArmA I guess
I keep looking for the Rewind, slowdown and speed up keys. ZSNES :argh:
Yesterday, after playing Supreme Commander for the whole afternoon, i went into the kitchen to eat something. I walked to the fridge, then started to turn around like a galactic colossus until i was facing the fridge.

After playing extreme amounts of DOOM, I had the urge to go shoot up Columbine. :downs: No, I'm joking.

[QUOTE=ryandaniels;17416143][url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_effect[/url][/QUOTE] Damn, that reminds me of when i started playing tetris a lot on some website (there were several different tetris games). Also, about a year ago i was playing a lot of chess and whenever my mind wasn't occupied with something else, chess was going through my head, i was imagining a lot of different moves and situations all the time.
