Have you ever felt real life was a videogame?

A few days ago, after playing a lot of GTA: Vice City, I was driving when I suddenly noticed a strip of bricks in the tarmac. For a snap second I thought I had to avoid it, because in my mind it was one of those spike strips the police throws on the road. Luckily my reflexes are even worse than my imagination so I came to my senses before I steered around it.

Another example was a moment ago. I spend most of the day playing Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow. A game in which you use night goggles most of the time. When I went downstairs, in the dark, my reflex was to turn on night goggles. When my mind caught up with me, I felt stupid.

Actually, yeah, I have. I played Civ 2 sooooooo much, on a WW2 scenario, that when the weather came on t.v after the news, I looked at the weather map, and started planning an attack strategy to try and take a British coastal city with an amphibious assualt.

Sometimes, video games seep into my standard english use, as I was talking to a friend about College Calculus:
"I wonder how long it will take me to beat this test."  I don't normally refer to an exam like I would a lvl in a platformer.

I felt retarded.

I once tried to figure out how many HP my brother had...

This happens to me ALL the time, but for some reason, I can't think of a good example.

it mostly happens to me when i'm really tired.

One time I was at work and I convinced myself that I could shoot fireballs like Ken and Ryu if I did that down, down-towards, towards motion just right.  After three tries I relized what i was doing and went on my lunch break.

After plaing galaxies for a while, i started the type /tell in aim windows.  (/tell is the messenger command in galaxies.)

i know i have bbut cant remember any specific examples but i do remember feeling like an ass

On more than one occasion, I've imagined that there was a giant spike pit underneath where I was standing, and that if I uppercutted somebody, they would fall to the bottom.  Of course, I never tried it, because I couldn't remember what buttons to push.

lol. i have thought things like "oh, i dont have to work too hard on this, i have more lives." or tried to grind random furniture after playing tony hawk for a week straight.  i also have woken up occassionally and caught myself pushing nonexistent buttons in my sleep.  i actually did that in english class once. damn i felt like an idiot....

[Zimbacca]

One time I was at the mall and I suddenly thought I was Snake. So I started sneaking around the building through those little hallways that go behind all of the stores in the food court. When I finally came to my senses I had strangled five security guards and masturbated in at least one locker.
