You know, it takes a few Kooks tp make all us gamers look totally braindead and obsessive.
I know for one I have never shook a bush.

@ the lady trying to pull the car off the road! I don't know how that relates to video games, but it is definately crazy! The only thing like this I have ever experienced, is when I used to be obsessed with THPS, I would be in a mall or whatever, and I would constantly see rails as something to grind on and link tricks, and I would be thinking of sweet combos I could do in there. :/
Yeah, and neither do Katamari Damacy, Animal Crossing, Burnout 2, Quake III or The Sims...Originally Posted by Wired

I read that article yesterday. Well, what can I say? The furthest it's been for me has been in dream state, not while being awake: after playing too much Pac-Man, I once kept on dreaming of the game.
Seriously, though, it never got to the point where I had a hard time distinguishing between reality and fiction. And I'm certainly not going to start shaking trees to see if bags of gold would fall on me...
Oh, come on. Are you all telling me that you've never mentally projected crosshairs onto your windshield while driving? Or imagined your arm as a giant, boring-professor-obliterating cannon of some sort? I mean, that article gives some extreme examples, but any time I spend hours and hours and hours shooting or driving, I get a little "carry-over" into the real world.
For example, I was pleased to find that some of the tricks I learned in Driver really do work in the real world.

As for the article, did you notice how many of the people made reference to being sleepy? Or might be in jobs where long hours could lead to exhaustion? A lot of things can seem strange in that state.
