The Tetris Effect

[bipper]

I sometimes get too serious in gernal chat because I think I am still in EoEo...

I can relate to the DDR one. Thankfully, I haven't DDRed in almost a year now so I'm more or less healthy now.

Minus the voices.

One time my brother and I played Super Mario Bros 3 all the way through with no warps and when we were done we could still hear Mario jumping and flying and collecting coins in our heads.

I see arrows.

Arrows and blocks.

Why won't they go away?!

Yeah, I went through a phase of Tetris-mania where I occasionally stacked random objects in my mind. I learned how to play the theme music on the piano, too.

I can't say games have ever effected me this way, unless you count not being able to think about anything while not playing.
But sometimes when something bad happens to me I think,
"Just press ctrl z" or "esc".

[Cruise Control]

Yes, yes I have. I see psyenergy all the time.

I've had this for many games, Often it's just the music...Lol final fantasy 7 tune in my head as I battle the ever opressive work load stuff like that ect.

Occasionally a game will drive me completely mad, worst cases have been:

after 3 days of straight final fantasy 8 I answered only to the name of Squall and could picture the scan screen for some of the enemies in my mind perfectly.

After playing an online game (fantasy) I often wondered why I didn't carry a Bastard sword (I know language language yet it is the name of the longsword type) 6 knives and wore an armour made out of Demon bones.

Played halo so long I could picture myself and my friend storming a corridor "resevoir dogs style" with pistols out and nothing could stand in our way.

there's been more but it's not comming out here.

If you play guitar hero songs on medium difficulty for two or three hours without looking away from the screen, the walls will look like they are melting. It actually looks almost exactly like a when a Mushroom trip is just starting to kick in.

I play WoW alot and if I get into heavy traffic it feels like I'm pulling too much aggro

I often think "I better find a save first" before doing things :/ And I dream about whatever game I've been playing too.

Ever been stuck at one part in a game and you go to sleep and have a dream about the solution then you wake up trying to remember it?
