Habits picked up from video games

Recommended Posts

Videogames changed the way I perceive myself. I have health-, hunger-, stamina-, happiness (and mana) bars, and often I think "just 12k xp till I've read enough for this test".

I also sometimes look behind me to see if I could find rendering lag in the world, but I'm beginning to think it is all pre-rendered.

Shooting nuns. Damn Red Dead influences me too much.

Playing CoD has probably improved my reaction times, and playing Battlefield has made me think more tactically, as well as numerous other FPS' and RTS'. From RuneScape I learned how to touch-type and type a lot quicker. There's probably a lot of things, but I can't really think of them at the moment.

Many believe that the 1980 eruption of Mt. Saint Helens was a catostrophic geological event, in reality it was the day that Jimi Hendrix returned to Earth from the next world and actually stood up next to a mountain and chopped it down with the edge of his hand.

Video games taught me English.

Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

Ever since playing WoW (and since I quit even) I now use certain MMO slang or other online slang in my verbal sentences. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. I mean, I don't exactly use it in a serious conversation. But if I'm just chilling with friends or whatever, I use it a lot.

RS taught me how to type really quickly, and I sometimes try to visualise Minecraft versions of buildings.

 

I confess, I have the same habit of doing that too. I'll see a building and just think about how epic it would be to build in MineCraft.

My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages.

Sometimes when I think over some conversations I had with people through out the day, I'll imagine speech options in the style of Fallout.

If you hear someone yelll

in real life, that's probably me.

 

Oh, and now whenever I rest my left hand while on the computer, it now rests just over the WASD keys. Ring finger on "A", middle finger on the "W", and index finger on "D".

If I'm, sitting at a desk or table, I sometimes drum the fingers of my left hand as if I was playing a song on Guitar Hero. I picked that up as a way to practice the intro to TTFaF. A couple of years after I stopped playing those games, it's only starting to be broken, and only because I picked up pencil twirling.

I do something similar, except I tap my foot to the beat and slap my hands to attempt to play the song in my head. My mother always gets annoyed because she seems to think that I'm doing it because I'm annoyed. >_>

While playing lazer tag I'm often at the top of the charts

I guess this is the only thing that applies to me. I dunno if video games have much to do with it, but I'm [bleep]ing awesome at laser tag.

Having a slightly higher reaction time and accuracy than those who don't play FPS games doesn't sound too far fetched does it?

Mines the opposite. Im down the bottom despite good reflexes. I just never find enough people to shoot. |:

It's because you are annoyed, Jake :P

 

We both know this :P

What, because I tap my foot to a beat and mum seems to think it's because I'm annoyed = I'm annoyed....no. :rolleyes:
