Confusing Reality and games

The other day I was walking through my parking garage when I saw a 1.5 foot high grate on the wall and thought "If I crouched down, I could climb through that!"

That's when I realized that I've been playing Deus Ex far too frequently. Does anyone else have a similar story?

p.s. I didn't actually try to climb through the grate (yet)

Hehe....

Once, after playing GTA3 for about 6 hours straight, I got in my car to go to the store. Got caught in a bit of traffic and it seemed like everyone was moving way too slow.

I thought to myself that I could get to the store much easier if I just gunned it and drove along the sidewalk, or just pushed cars out my way with my vehicle.

Luckily I didn't.. and made it to the store in one piece, without a damaged car, and no cops chasing me.

Heh...another GTAIII story.

I had played for about 3 hours straight, and was heading across town to get some food later that night. I saw a dump truck go by and thought "Oh, man, I was looking for one of those earlier."

Creepy

Yeah, the other day I was playing SSB:M. Shortly after, the plumber came to the door. I got overexcited and hit him with an umbrella.

Woah!


Everytime I'm out I just look at all the possible objects I can grind. Rails, stairs, edges, pools. I'm driving and I'm looking at the center divider and I'm thinking. "oohh that's be a nice grind, then ohhh look at that gap over the bus."

Then everytime I go up stairs I want to do a lip trick when I reach the top.

I used to play live-action Mazes and Monsters a lot, until I went to New York, stabbed somebody and was put into a mental hospital.







Oh, wait. Now I'm confusing tv movies with reality.
