My fingers jump to the WASD keys when my computer starts up, as opposed to the home/typing keys.

I have problems with phones... If I'm not paying attention I dial as if the keypad was a PC Numpad (thus 123 and 789 are in eachothers spaces)...

Well.

During crew for our spring musical, me and another guy will just start imitating Atlas from BioShock.

Example:
"Would you kindlyy bring me the crobahr or sumtin." (Crowbar or wrench)
"This crowbahr or sumptin?"
"Yes, bring me that crowbahr or sumptin."
Me:-freaks out people with the crowbar/wrench as I bring it to him-

Also.

Loud noises have me go into a state of "Who was that fucker I'll shoot him!" and try to take cover from nothing.

Also.

I know dozens of weapons. Before Call of Duty and 4, I knew grenades, tommy guns, M1 Garands, MP40's, Kar95ks, M4's, Colt 1911's, Javelins, RPG's, Bazookas, AK-47's, and Lugers.

Now I know about everything from M9s to MP44s to MP7s to even the being-developed SCAR.

I strafe around corners.
No, I really strafe around corners in real life.

And I cary around several profiles for games on a USB-keychain. Can't leave without my CoD4 char, my BG2 wizard and my Diablo2 Sorcerer.

I have a few of these...

When I was younger and in a car I would look outside and kind of see/imagine/ mixture mario from mario 64 jumping from road light to road light doing the diffrent mario noises.

when in a dark room if theres a small light in any room i tend to think and somtimes see (not so much now though) the nija guy from metal gear solid (i think hes called fox lol its been a while)

if im in woods or somthing simlar i think like im playing operation flashpoint somtimes looking at every possible cover and so on.

I used to dream alot about playing deus ex and killing maggie chow in diffrent and ammusing ways...but it was always in third person.

just to clear it up i do this sort of thing with everyhting though... I used to see ghosts of my parents alking towards me in very scary way and somtimes still do, ill be talking to people and thier outfit will change to somthing compleley diffrent or thier hair style will change and so on....so I wouldnt blame games for much of my trippy wierdness - i play game occasionally now and only if i know there really good, so my playing has decreased. I would say its addictive but well done to the person on here who quit smoking for gameing wish i could do that

As an rpg gamer, I sometimes remember situations that didn't go well and think, "ah, well did I save? I could just restart from that point and... crap." There often times when I think about save points and running through things again for different outcomes.

Now this has more to do with the fact that I'm a designer, but my fingers twitch ctrl-z and ctrl-shift-z (undo and redo) quite often. It seems to be especially bad when I've been using a mac for a while since thumb-ring finger is much easier than the Windows pinky-ring.

Before I quit WoW, I went outside one day and it was really foggy. I couldn't see more than about 50 feet and I remember thinking to myself "Wow. I need to turn the draw distance up." I promptly stopped walking and laughed at myself.

I name my consoles. My Wii is Wiiliam, with 2 i's, my DS is Gamien, My DS Lite is Gamien 2 (Gamien squared), my Game Cube is Felix, and... yeah.

Have you ever tried to make puppies fly by pointing?

It's a good thing I've never played any Mortal Konflikt game thing. I volunteer/help out in a Tae Kwon Do studio. I'm a black belt and I teach children various things.

It's happened to me in a few games. Most recently being Oblivion and TF2. On occasion when I'm walking around I'll decide to go into my inventory and check how close I am to levelling up. I never fail to be completely amazed to find that I am not, in fact, wandering about Tamriel. And as for TF2, whenever I hear some random sound it gets replaced by the sound a sentry makes when it sees you. Do you have any idea how embarrassing it is to flinch and dive behind a shopping cart every time a phone starts ringing every time you go to the srore?
