The Tetris Effect

Don't know if this has happened to anyone else, but a couple of years ago after playing Arkham Asylum for a while (about six hours, give or take) I started judging my house for good vantage points and every time any member of my family walked in front of me, I kept waiting for the prompt for a silent takedown.

I looked it up, and apparently people do experience this. So, I was wondering about you guys. Any experiences like this or am I just weird?

I think that's because the level of concentration you devoted to the game itself. Hell, I still accidentaly walk around like Niko and whatnot. And I won't even start with what happens when you mix Max Payne stuff and a bed.

Assassin's Creed (AC 3 in particular) as made me into a pretty good stalker. I usually succeed to ''follow'' my friends home undetected.

 

I've also started to run and walk like Connor.

I thought I was the only one doing the Max Payne on the bed thing, The worst is walking like Michael though.

I was glad to know I wasn't either.

I felt like saying "shake it baby!" when I gave someone some cash today.

Back in the days where Sims 2 and 3 were my favorites, I constantly spoke Simlish words I've finally mastered.

 

The scream of the children I've drown still haunts me.

When I'm bored and there's no one in the house, I use my phone as a gun and run around pretending to shoot bad guys. And pretend to go in slow motion shooting everyone.

I totally agree with this, and I'm not even joking. This is a legit phenomenon that happens when you are so immersed in a game.

 

I played Skyrim for hours every day, for weeks on end. I started seeing an "E" and the name of something when I was walking around my house.

 

Like when I looked at my sister I saw "e- talk [sister's name]" and when I looked at my door I saw "e - open door"
