The only thing i think i've ever done is start playing a game around 11pm and then look at the window and see it's getting light and notice it's 6am the next morning :D and then going to school/uni/work at 7/8/9

I've done that more than a few times, When the sims first came out, Dune 2, TA, Half-Life, when i first played online and found the wonder that was TFC, most recently was Dawn of war the other day.

The thing is, u notice its 6am and the sun is just rising, but u think u can squeeze another hour in before its FULLY bright. And that keeps going until u notice ** eyes closing, ** hands shaking, and the red blurryness filling your peripheral vision

And to all the ppl who left stuff cooking in an oven or microwave or something of the sort. Dont u use a timer.

Well for me, sometimes the timer doesnt get me going. It becomes rather annoying after 5 minutes, so after 10 i go turn it off, that doesnt mean i take the food out :eek: :confused:

Probably improved the flavour tbh.

Can't say I've done anything excessively bad, although playing so much Quakeworld at uni instead of studying certainly didn't help my degree. I went from a straight A student at school to getting a 3rd at uni.

My Quake habit has also cost me I dunno, upwards of £3000 in phonebill/isp charges.

I've stayed awake over 50 hours when attending QW lans, didn't do my body much good.

For some reason I never get any more violent than stamping my feet and swearing when playing games though.

Too many times!! :D


Messed up GCSE's and AS-Levels Due to Everquest too.
Luckily managed to keep myself off for a month or so while i did my A-Levels, helped a little bit but im still playing it now :p
 
Punched keyboard - Half the keys didn't work :/
Made a dent into the TV screen because I threw a SNES gamepad at it because I'd lost for the 85th time at Mario :)

Went to bed at 5 am on a school night, the first day of school after summer holidays as well, because I had spent the entire summer playing CS... I woke up for school at 11am. Great first impression for my new teachers.

Before then (I was 12 back then), I usually went to bed at about 9pm... since then I usually don't sleep until 1 am.
 
What about when you're thinking about games and that influences what you do in RL?

I've been walking through that park a couple of times and I find myself looking round and thinking, 'Wow, nice graphics and anti-aliasing on those trees...'
:o :rolleyes:

Worst I ever did was wonder if I could make a decent map of my block for UT or Raven Shield :)
 
If u play Americas Army, and join a clan, then u start using all the military terms so often u might be finding urself saying them in RL

Like...

"Fancy going clubbing now?" (drunken voice by friend)

I found myself saying...

"Roger!" (EEEK!!!!)

I used the word so many damn times on Teamspeak GRRR, but ive willed myself to say normal words now instead :p

Christ I thought it was only me. I often stylize the real world. I have done ever since we were told to do so in art :eek:

Just the other day we were driving along and I thought how good the lighting looked!
