Things in real life that remind you of video games?

[mr.soul]

I'm a cashier, and today for some reason when I was dropping change into people's hands, all I could think about was Kaboom! and sometimes my hand would go left and right a little and they'd drop a coin (presumably losing one of their buckets)

Does this happen to anyone else or am I just crazy?

[spunibard]

sometimes when i'm double-stepping up stairs i think of mario in smb1 hopping up the block "stairs".




...but yeah... we're just crazy.

I make a transformers transforming sound effect every time I stand up from a kneeling / squatting position.

Completely unintentional.

Every time.

My algebra teacher in highschool looked exactly like Mario.

Still to this day I will look at a structure and think "it would be cool to skate that in Tony Hawk".

After playing GTA3 for the first time, I'd see a car and think of whatever its GTA counterpart was called.

I ate some mushrooms once. To my suprise, I did not get any bigger, nor did I gain an extra life.

When driving, all I think is in Gran Turismo.

Well occassionally I'll see a upper price tagged car sitting by itself (until I pull up of course) at a gas station, and I have to fight the urge to want to destroy it by kicking it and hitting it with a lead pipe... ala Final Fight bonus stage. "Ohhhh... My God!"

I actually saw a picture of a graph on my test once that looked exactly like Pac-man. I couldn't stop laughing...

I think of GTA3 every time I kill a hooker and take my money back...

you...weren't supposed to hear that <_<

Actually, at work, when putting stuff away after a show...I always whistle the Tetris music.

I keep seeing powertools where the company logo is the triforce, shit you not. Can't remember what the company name is.

When I used to play WoW, and that was quite a bit, I would constantly open and close the in game map by hitting the M key, to make sure I was on course, but also just to have something to look at on monotonous horse rides. It got to a point where I would look to open the map while walking or driving in real life, only to be confused by the lack of an M key.

True, and shameful, story. =)

I know more about fake car names in GTA than the real cars that they resemble. Even though I haven't really played GTA extensively in about a year now.

When I used to bag for the grocery store I worked for I used to act like I was playing 3-D tetris. I even hummed the favorite tetris theme.

I keep seeing powertools where the company logo is the triforce, shit you not. Can't remember what the company name is.

Your thinking of Delta Tools.

Still to this day I will look at a structure and think "it would be cool to skate that in Tony Hawk".

Nah, you are just thinking how a skateboarder always thinks...

[Kid Ice]

Nah, you are just thinking how a skateboarder always thinks...

Sure, if I had ever gotten on a real skateboard in my life. ;-)

I've been playing Burnout 3 lately, so any time I see a tanker truck I seriously consider slamming my car into it.

When in the midst of some PC game with a quick-save button I also happened to be building something around the house... every time I'd go to drill a hole or make a cut, I'd try to do a quick-save, then lament the fact that real life does not come with such a feature.

A couple instances for me...

When watching a football game on tv and thinking that if I were in control I would have juked him with the R button and gained 15 extra yards.

When organizing overstock in my Staples store, I explained to my manager that the best way to do the organizing of the boxes would be like a game of Tetris.

My wife and I ate some of our leftover wedding cake, and I took a picture of the cake, which was missing a slice, because it looked like Pac Man.

When being cut off by someone on a highway I have very often wished I had a supply of red turtle shells or banana peels to toss in front of the other driver.
