Do computer games ever enter into your reality?

[Daniel1]

I only ask because ive been playing assassins creed brotherhood recently getting ready for the new game, and today while working in London I couldn't help but look at the buildings trying to figure out how to climb them.

I know from the bfbc2 threads some people hear the mcom beeps (lol). Any other random ones, or is it just me?

Playing way too much COD had me checking for cover spots walking round the local shop!

Do dreams count as reality? I'll often dream about a game if I'm really into it.

Years ago I got so into Resident Evil that I was creeping about the house and looking out for zombies whereever I went, I also used to play a lot of Tomb Raider (Completed all of them) and I would go about the real world looking for puzzles to complete.

Does it count if you shout "Gz" when the microwave dings?

You have increased your food heating ability?

Years ago I was gutted to realise, as sleepy head was shrugged off that I could not in fact choose between an Evo VI, 22b or NSX to drive to work in.
Damned late night Gran Turismo sessions!

I like this.

I've had it before when walking to work and I've spotted a very small plane in the sky; my instant reaction was to research for my stinger to down the UAV...

Just got F1 2011. I've started taking the racing line round the office and even using KERS and DRS when overtaking.

Was at an airsoft battle at the weekend and some guy pulled out a chrome desert eagle, I asked him if he had prestiged recently.... looked at me like I was an idiot

Me too; although when overtaking it's more the urge to push the boot release button to get me those few vital mph

Driving through London after a marathon session of The Getaway was always interesting. I kept noticing places I recognised from the game and had a strange urge to avoid Frith Street just in case someone recognised me as the bloke who had burned down the club the day before...

I've had this. Sat in a pub, looking for places to climb up where there might be hidden treasures.

we may be taking the students to florence soon as well. i must try to remember i'm scared of heights. it'll be too late when i'm a few feet up a wall and frozen with fear after looking down.

I always cross roads, and rivers 'frogger' style.
