One time I freaked out and thought I heard the hissing noise a Maverick makes headed my way :tinfoil: I had played ArmA 2 all night that previous night.

I hate going to hospitals now thanks to FEAR 1 and 2. But otherwise, nothing. Games have helped me get more friends, as alot of people in my school play them.
Ruined my social life. In games and on net it's extremly easy to communicate but in real life I just get nervous when being around people, anyone except my close friends and family, and when I try to speak with someone my head usually gets empty and I can't think of a subject :P

When I play any game for a long time straight, I feel like I'm in that game for some time. For example I was playing fallout 3 a whole day and when I walked outside I saw my inventory and when I talk to someone I see different variants of my answers.
No matter what controller im using i always try and hit the imaginary xbox guide button. I even did it on NES the other day In that Deus Ex video, the one guy sounds like BIll
F.E.A.R. I see the girl standing at my door when I'm in bed at night sleeping. Oh the horror.... ....Alma....
Holy shit going into certain games and you press y to chat, but it's a different button. It will plague me for hours.
I got assburgers lol
Not really videogames, but sometimes when I'm drawing, I'll mess up, so I move my pencil up to the upper left hand corner of my paper expecting an undo button to be there.
[QUOTE=CommanderPT;12647548]I've never thought games have been screwing with me but now I realise they have! When my dad comes into my room, and he talks with me whilst I'm playing, I sometimes press C as if I was playing left 4 dead, C is the hotkey for voice chat. So I sometimes press that when I'm about to talk to my dad, it's really freaky! :uhoh:[/QUOTE] Same thing with me for TF2. My dad walked in my room once and I held down the side button on my mouse assigned to voice chat. I asked him how his day was, and people in TF2 started responding. :v:
Every time I get hungry I punch a hole in a wall to see if there's a pork chop behind it.

I heard an eagle on the TV and thought someone was jumping off a building. Whenever me and my friends see a really fat person, we whisper "Boomer!"
[QUOTE=Under-Pwner;19367823]What game is this?[/QUOTE] Castlevania 2.
I really hope I am NOT the only person that this happens to. The FIRST thing I thought of when I read this is possibly the most bizarre and horrible effect they've had on my life. When I have nightmares and find myself in horrible, tragic/terrifying situations and the like, I keep trying to, like, restart or load or something, and then sometimes I just try and outright QUIT the nightmare, like a pause menu or something. For some reason the dumbness of this does nothing to ease the horrible-ness of nightmares, even though I feel dumb when I eventually wake up. I think it's actually worked sometimes, like I manage to "quit" or something and wake up during a horrible part of a dream. Please don't let me be alone in this. :argh:

D: (he smelled so bad that I nearly threw up, and I was a decent distance away from the guy)
Now i want to be in the army.
One thing I do is I evaluate graphics in real life to see if there any good. An example that sticks out in my mind is once when I was walking to school, I looked up and said "I can see the seams on that skybox." Or I'll look at a car and say "Oh that looks nice, but it could be shinier." Or look at things and think to myself that the textures on said object could be better.

I have moments where I look at objects or buildings and think of how they could be used in a zombie apocalypse
I was playing gmod late at night one time and I went up to go to the kitchen, and I didn't want to walk all that way so I thought "i'll just noclip" and hit the v key in my mind

I was in gym class with one other guy (who knows Hammer), and we both agreed that whomever mapped the gym had horribly placed light_spots behind the wall-mounted lights.
sometimes when im in my room, on my computer i try to drag and click physical things also when im doing the alphabet for what ever reason i start spelling like C,O,D or S,U,P,C,O,M or G,M,O,D
When GTA IV first came out, I got it and play the hell out of it. At least 20 hours a day, I just sat and played it for about a week. Then, I had to go back to school and work, except I had forgotten how to drive. I would always find myself turning with no signal and going 20 or so mph over the speed limit. That game fucked up my driving for like a month.
I keep thinking that someone could be a spy in other games than TF2.
Silent Hill, when ever i hear radio static, I begin to get really paranoid, I start see things that aren't there and I begin to shake. Oh and Mirrors edge has now got me looking for ways to escape rooms.
When I'm in a horrible dream where right before I die I open a menu and press 'disconnect'.
