The Tetris Effect

Maybe collecting pens from the pen vending machine at school is getting to me. I had a dream that I was getting a pen out of there. How exciting.

Not with Tetris, but with other things. Zelda: OoT. Gosh, played that so much all I would hear was the music and dream about it too. Sucked.

When I'm listening to dance-ish music, I feel the urge to do DDR steps (It doesn't help that I have DDR music on my iPod....)

It's happened to me with Meteos. When I got that game, I kept seeing little combos when I closed my eyes to go to sleep.

I once played games for so long that I was amazed over the graphics of the real world afterwards.

Gahahahaha, I do that all the time, or my hand immediatley flies up to the right when I make a mistake when writing. Then I realize the backspace button isn't there.

It happens all the time with me after playing cards with my friends for a very long time. After walking away from the table. By brain quickly quips "Play the Queen of SPades!" and then it realizes it's not playing cards anymore

If it counts, I hear my mouse click in the middle of the night.

I used to skateboard so much it felt like I was gliding when I was walking.

Oh man, I've done that too, while taking an open book test. I couldn't find what I was looking for, and I just kept wanting to CTRL+F to find the phrase.

I have played whole levels of Tetris in my head. Lately, I've been looking at a lot of sheet music on the computer- always black on white so it burns really nicely into the mind's eye...and the actual eye too, I guess.

Have you guys ever watched a TV ad closely. I'm sure this is no secret to most, but if you haven't noticed- next time you watch a TV ad, pay attention to all of the movement that takes place (maybe with the TV muted) there's always a lot of "epilepsy inducing" flashes that emphasize important things that the advertisers want you to remember like telephone numbers, brand names, "FREE" graphics, and the like. I suppose it doesn't qualify as subliminal messaging, but it's not far from it.
