    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.

    no matter how important something might be (ie. a giant meteor is in the sky and threatening the planet) you can always just stop in at the Golden Saucer and gamble on some dodos running around a track.

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

    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. :-[

    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.
