Ladies and gents, after last week's significantly more personal question (I mean, seriously, I asked whether or not you believed to see video games in your life! That's crazy!) So as an "apology" (and I guarantee, I totally will ask something relevant to that again.) I've decided to ask you guys one more fun question I've been holding back until I thought this had gained more popularity.
BUT FIRST, HERE'S LAST WEEK'S BIG POSTS!
Actually, Assassin's Creed has done it for me. I've spent time plotting the best rooftop routes, and subconsciously make the blending sound when sitting on a bench or joining a crowd. Also Heavy Rain. Others do it too, but those are probably the most serious.
Minecraft. I could totally mine that mofo. :smallcool:
After playing Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, I would find myself instinctively attempting to activate my night vision goggles after dark.
MW2: Every time I see a red light out of the corner of my eye I think it's a claymore.:smalltongue:
Years ago when I was still in highschool I played way too much Grand Theft Auto (Doesn't matter which one, really). Walking home from school one day, I found myself instinctively moving my thumb to press 'R3' to look behind myself.
After playing too much Deus Ex, I was outside smoking one night, leaned against the corner of a building, while two people walked by me without noticing me. I was immediately relieved that I hadn't been spotted and my middle finger twitched to change my weapon to the Stun Rod and take them out before their patrol route had them facing towards me, alerting the more heavily armed guards.
Thankfully, I didn't beat them unconscious.:smalltongue:
Neat story, when Rollercoaster Tycoon first came out, I played it before I went to school, after I went to school, and until I (sometimes literally) had to be dragged back to bed.
Now, combine this with a nasty head flu, and I actually started hallucinating that I was building pathways around my room. Vivid, full-on, colourful hallucinations. To the point where I was going insane because I thought that the supports would block my passage in the room, and to the point where I built ramps to get onto my bed. My parents were quite worried that day.
Super Puyo-puyo.
After I first discovered the game, whenever I closed my eyes, I saw exploding bubbles.
Fallout 3: GET OUT OF MY HEAD!! Seriously, I keep looking at people and seeing the VATS targetting grid pop up. Though it now has additional locations such as Eyes, Groin, and Boobies.
Any game with a lead indicator. The fact that I've always been able to do it naturally doesn't really help, but now I see the little indicator.
And if anyone knows how to make my health bar stop flashing I'd love to know. And no, standing still and not getting hit isn't helping.
Alright, which one of you works for GameFAQs? (http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4302)
Oh, and after an extended Morrowind session I started seeing dialogue options next to people I was talking to.
Big shocker, no-one here does. I run my own blog. It's currently dying, but I plan on launching a new one.
For me, it was Katamari Damaci. I played it for a couple hours, and when I next stepped outside, I was thinking I wasn't yet big enough for the cars on my street, but that some bushes and fence posts were the perfect size to roll up.
And now we have the question for this week:
What game related item have you wanted to own?
I mean this in the way "Would you want a Portal Gun? Or Plasmids? Or a Stasis Module? Or whatever else you could think of?"
Your pick. Don't limit yourself to the above. Personally, I want to have a suit of MJOLNIR Mk. IV armor, with the Spartan III enhancements to go along with it. I think in second I'd go for a Dead Space style plasma cutter, to enact rogue vengeance against some guy who tried to anger me. Yes, I'm easily irritable.
That's it for now. And now a new feature, I'm linking back to old questions, in case you want to read up on some!

Alright then, this is the complete post I promised two questions ago, so here it is now.
