lol, I've done this too. Like right before a test at school, I thought "well, better make an intelligence check"

And several others....

Oh God yes. Just about every time I play Tetris that happens to me...

I played to much Kingdom Hearts 2, so I kept thinking I needed to hit the triangle key to do stuff.... O_O

Oh yeah, every time I play anything where I'm seeing the same thing for a long period of time, I can usually see it when I close my eyes. I usually don't play things all that long though.

I don't think so, Tim.

No, just natural "I have to make some room for this on this tiny shelf, so that it stays off the floor."

Something like that, yeah.

Red Orchestra doesn't use crosshairs. :p

Nope, never. :cool:

Yeah, it seems to happen with anything I spend vast quantities of time on - drawing, reading, music, games especially, and really anything else. I never knew it was called "the Tetris Effect" though. How interesting...

Nah, but I once experienced something similar while doodling. I made a mistake and I thought "Crap, click undo." and for a split-second I was confused that I couldn't find undo.

Yes, I hate myself.

I got something similar after playing Morrowind for a long time. Like when I was sneaking around I would do that stupid pose they do. And whenever I picked something up I made that picking up sound. Shlurp. Unfortunately I lacked the void to put the object I picked up so I had to drop them again because I couldn't move. Loads of other crazy stuff like that happened.

Fortunately, I managed to break out of it before I blew my pockets bribing folk.

I also got a Tetris related story but it is kind of naughty. :-[

I'm experiencing it now that you told me about it. :yuck:

When I was hardcore addicted to DDR I would get that every night before sleep after closing my eyes. Sometimes I would just dream about arrows. Talk about freaky.

I have that effect from RPG Maker. I see other video games as event processess.
