Games Invading Your Thoughts?

Ever have games that just overtake your senses and mind? Like with Tetris I have heard of people closing their eyes and still seeing blocks falling in their minds. For example, I took a scantron test today in English and after finishing checked my answes. My first thought was whoa this pattern looks exactly like Raining Blood from Guitar Hero 3. Upon further notice, I realized it actually wasn't the same pattern but it still could have been a guitar solo. I then proceeded to move my fingers as if I was playing the scantron. It was actually a very difficult song (even if it was all at the same beat and of course there were no hold notes or double notes haha).I also used to play Finl Fantasy Tactics Advance. Anyone who has played it knows how much of your life that game can suck away. I have personally put over 200 hours into that game. And the music outside of battle (inventory, world map, etc.) is ALWAYS the same. For a few weeks i would hear that music everywhere. Sometimes it was bad enough that when going to sleep I would have to get up and go verify that the gameboy WAS in fact off. It always was, and I still always heard the music. I still have relapses of that music, it's still in my system lol.So what about you? Any particularly interesting situations like that? Dreaming, hearing, seeing games when you shouldn't be?Games Invading Your Thoughts?
yeah. when ever i play a game alot i dream the game. just as if the screen is in my head. when ever i close my eyes after i wake, i see it againi once once watched an entire season of the office in on day, and my dreams were episodes. this will probally be locked by the wayGames Invading Your Thoughts?
yeah...playing Pilotwings back in the day had me physically reenacting some manoeuvres in the playground. Goldeneye had me imagining being J Bond. Chrono Trigger had me constantly humming a few tunes (same for SMG). In more recent games, CSS had me thinking of new tricks and strategies, and the same goes for TF2.
This one time i played Americas Army so much i couldnt get to sleep and started getting delirious. I thought i was going crazy.

With the first two Doom games I played them way too much and when I went into office buildings or something it was like the DOOM world would overlay my vision like a HUD. lulz
Yeah-when Im really into a game and just want to continue it-I just constantly think about said game and lose focus in what im currently doing.
If I'm playing Pokemon or something I tend to think about how I could build a good Pokemon out of something with low base stats. Recently I've been day-dreaming about Brawl. >_>
