The Tetris Effect
Have you ever experienced the Tetris Effect?It has been known for players of first-person shooter games to briefly panic upon noticing the lack of a crosshair in the center of their real-world field of vision. Some players of Dance Dance Revolution also report seeing arrows moving upwards when closing their eyes after intense play.
thank god no
I would probably go play video games or have sex (the usual) - Nominus Experse
my mom would be like "ve? yo te dije, el internet no es bueno."
"seriously, my mom tells me "que tu hase en eso el dia entero?" and im like "mami yo toy hablando con people" xD. spanglish, ftw." ~ liz
I've gotten it from Tetris, that same thing you mentioned from DDR, and also, briefly, when I closed my eyes, I would be targeting enemies in Guild Wars and going through my attack cycle.
The only thing close to that that I've experienced is when I had played FFVIII for eight hours straight (I couldn't sleep that night at alllllll). I was in Esthar for a really long time and after I turned off the game I was partially blind for a good hour or two. It was kind of scary.
nope
Not really, which is odd, as i sit too close to the screen.
I couldn't see correctly after i first played pokemon red, i had flashing battle screens plauge my vision for hours.
More often than not I am fantasizing involuntarily about some random video game or video game detail.
Other than having music playing in my head all the time, not really. Well, not that I know of anyway.
...Sounds fun.
When I played lots of Zelda a long time ago I got all the sound effects in my head. :/
When I bag gorcoeries for charity work I always say its like a giant game of Tetris >.>;; and Ive been playing RO alot lately, and Im going through the dungeons in my head trying to think of where the monsters are and the best skills use to defeat them as I type this.
After playing Final Fantasy extensively, I would have trouble walking around, because I would be afraid of getting in random encounters. No lie.
And I have gotten the crosshair one as well, but I remember also wondering why I didn't have a HUD. That would be when I was bingeing heavily on Halo, Doom, Or Timesplitters.
Not necessarily.
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
Oh, I remember another one I had. I'd been playing GTA Vice City on PC very extensively for about two days straight, and had gotten used to being able to middle-click the mouse to look backwards and see what's coming up on me. In real life, I started wondering why I couldn't do that.
I never get in a fight with out my trusty dice, and sturdy pen & paper combo!
Yes, as a matter of fact I have. What is says about "Audition" pretty much sums up what happens to me. I also hear how other peoples songs could be better when listening to them.
