Gamers hear voices long after playing...

This is rubbish, it happens with anything. I spent a few days tiling and when I shut my eyes all I could see was wall tiles.

The worst is phantom Outlook email notifications in the bottom right corner of my screen at work. I keep thinking I've got an email out the corner of my eye.

Nonsense!

Well it's not rubbish then is it if it has happend to you. If I were getting hallucinations of tiling I would do less tiling. If it's happening with eveything then lay off the booze/ drugs.

Just trying to be helpful.

:confused: It doesn't really count as rubbish then if it does actually happen?

Though, I agree it's not exclusively a gamer problem. There was a documentary recently that had factory runners given orders by a headset with a computer voice. They had to say "Ready" when they wanted to switch it on and they had to speak to it to confirm when things were done etc. to speed up their job.

Eventually, they would just be out in public and say "Ready" randomly like some form of tourettes. I think it's just weird human brain stuff born of lots of repetition.
 
I do often find myself subconsciously reaching for the F5/F9 keys when I'm just about to do something risky or just messed something up... :p

Not sure if that counts as the same thing? ;)
 
I can relate to this. After playing COD too much, going outside and hearing a plane overhead immediately made me think it was an AC-130. :D
 
Happens if you do anything really repetitive. I worked on the line at Nissan for a couple weeks and started to get what the lads there call "linemares". Hell I even woke our lass up one night saying I needed a carpet for a ford after watching a day of wheeler dealers lol.
 
After hours long sessions of AoEII with my mates in college I'd try to go to sleep.

Monk, I need a monk!
Wololo

Over and over and over
 
My mental thing for a while was hearing the intro to "Dead" by My Chemical Romance when my alarm went off in the morning .

But that's because my daily routine was really ..... routine and once it had locked in my head as a thing I couldn't shift it.
