We had a couple of inches of snow where I live last night.
Just went outside to have a cigarette at work. I looked around at the snowy scene and started thinking about Don Morough.
Jez. I think I might need professional help.

Ah, winter. Yes... winter.
When you feel the urge to kill your neighbor's pets because to you they look like crag boars, snow leapords, and snow tracker wolves - maybe then you should take a break. Just to be safe make sure your family doesn't let you take your spoon (er...wand) or your butter knife (uhm....dagger) with you during your smoke breaks.

This kind of reminds me of when I was walking around campus one evening a few years ago when EQ just came out. Saw a glint of motion out the corner of my eye and immediately thought "Oh God, a griffon's after me."

That day is far past, my friend...Err...Ignore that one.
lol, I've done that too.
It's not MMO related but in college I used to hang out at my girlfriends house alot. The only game she had was tetris so I played it ALOT when she was preocupied. It got so bad I started catching myself mentaly stacking items while driving, walking around campus, sitting in class etc. I would stack anything; trees, cars, people. I even went so far as to turn them in my mind to make them fit one another.
It's wierd how the mind works.
It's always Shaft or the Splinter Cell theme for my Rogue...
He's one bad motha...Shut yo mouth!
It happens. Your normal (almost - at least WE understand you!). My friend suffered the same affliction whilst playing Splinter Cell, or a similar game. He started crouching and strafing if he noticed security cameras at work. I remember after playing GTA: Vice City hard last winter, I was out walking with the same friend and his girlfriend across Waterloo Bridge, before crossing a car-park and I weaved away from them and caught myself reaching down to 'test' a car door handle".
I think the worst pychosis emerged during hardcore MUD playing days (during university). I remember going to an Anatomy Cheese and Wine night (yes, these were social events that did feature cheese and wine) and had sat down with a random girl and some of her friends, when my friend burst into the room, looked around, spotted me and rushed over to me, shouting, "OMFG! OMFG! The +5 dam golden rings just dropped!". I was absolutely mortified. I motioned, "Not now, Dave!" to him and nudged him with my elbow. He looked around at the upturned (female) faces and collected himself, "Opps! Sorry!". Sadly, I realised that my chances were blown so sighing, I said my goodbyes to the females and picked up my plastic cup of wine and joined Dave for him to recount how he obtained the rings.
The same person also sat in the same lecture that a friend of mine was in and tapped her on the back, to tell her about the same goddam rings!
Sadly, I too have known the gaming psychosis that overtook Dave.
