Effect on life

Do you notice any different behaviors from playing certain types of games, such as sidescrolling shooters, puzzles, RPGs, etc.  After playing enough Katamari Damacy for a few hours, I compare the relative size of objects in hopes that I can roll them up.

LOL

I played so much Final Fantasy 7 when I graduated highschool... I had these marbles in a box in my closet.  I had to clean the apartment before we left after spending a whole summer playing FF7... and I saw the colored marbles and I said "what materia are these?"

My parents had no idea what I was talking about.  For a split second, which was when I opened my mouth, I actually thought they were materia.

What's materia?

When I was little, after I played chrono trigger I used to like going to fairs.

Thinking about it now I wish I could travel back in time and beat up my former self for being so corny.

Materia is used in FFVII to give new abilities to the characters. Like counter, summon etc.

I remember after playing a lot GTA, that I just felt like taking a car(even though I could not drive) instead of the public transportation.

And also after playing to much 囲碁(Go) I started to play it without a board, by just looking at the area and finding something similar to a Goban.

碁盤

I used to play GTA all the time, so last night i highjacked a car, ran over pedestrians, got into fights with drug dealers and killed everyone in my class.

Oh wait

People play counter-strike and think that they can handle weapons and have expert marksmanship.

Just look at all the bullshit on the "weapons" board.

"The FN-P90, now THAT's a trusty gun, perfect in close quarters combat!"

Fucking idiots.

Same goes with the people that play Gran Turismo or Wangan Midnight.  They think that they can magically race and drift once they play it.
