This happens to me a lot when I play a video game for a long period of time.

Like when I was playing Tony Hawk 2 or Jet Grind Radio, if I were walking somewhere I'd think "Hay I could grind on that". And now that I'm playing GT3 when I'm driving I look at the truns and try and figure out the best line and breaking point.

Do I have a problem???

Friend of mine drives like GT too, he keeps on trying to brake-slide. He is wierd like that though.

My wife says I need to stop playing GT3 it is making me drive to fast.

Closest thing I can think of is this:

Years ago, when the original Gameboy came out, my brother got it for X-Mas. I played Tetris like a fiend - nonstop for hours. Like the commercials at that time - I became fully "Tetrisized" and saw those shapes everywhere I looked. A few days after X-Mas, I had to fly out to California for the Rose Bowl - I couldn't take my brother's Gameboy with me, so I would have to go without it. No big deal, I figured. I was flying United Airlines, and at the time, they had these funky patterns on their seats that resembled, you guessed it, Tetris shapes. So for four hours I sat staring at the back of the seat in front of me going through severe Tetris withdraw, imagining these shapes falling into place and connecting. It was quite maddening, let me tell ya.

Oh yeah, I did the exact same thing when I was playing Tony Hawk religiously. I also had a problem with Duke Nukem and wanting to blow up vents and jump in.

That's funny, because I live in Long Beach, and there is this traffice circle on PCH that I just despise, anyways after playing Crazy Taxi 2 I was driving and thinking, I could just drive right over the island in the middle and any cars I hit would bounce right off of mine.

Yeah, I had kind of a funny story about that. I had been playing Metal Gear Solid for about 30 hours straight, and then we went to the store to get some food. Y'know, chips, dip, sodas, the usual crap. So we're wondering up and down the aisle looking for some Cherry Coke (love that stuff!) and we see this guy walking towards us. He was wearing this parka thing and some sunglasses, and I thought, "Wow, he really looks like one of the guards in MGS." So I grabbed him from behind, broke his neck, and used his body as a human shield from the gunfire of arriving police officers. It took three SWAT teams and four canisters of tear gas to take me down.

Well, ah, it was funny at the time. Maybe you had to be there. The warden says my computer time is up, so I've got to go.

I have that grind fixation when I am out walking around from THPS2 but funnier and much more dangerous was when I was addicted to Carmageddon 2 a couple of years ago anyway
I played this game so much that when I got in the car to go anywhere my first instinct was to drive at other cars and pedestrians. Not GOOD!

RaptorsFan, you think the Raptors are the best team in the East, of course you have a problem!

I don't usually mix up real life with video games. Otherwise, I'd be attaching missiles to an ice cream truck and killing everything in sight.

Actually GT3 is making me drive like a maniac. I keep trying to figure out how much actual $$$ a close ratio transmission would cost me so I can go faster, quicker.

Today, I was in traffic, and was weaving in and out like a maniac, trying to get to the red light first.
