It's funny, sometimes. You just need a couple of words or a snippet of music and it all comes flooding back. What the heck am I talking about? Why games of course!
I'm starting to get worried now that I'm too 'into' gaming to be normal, wherever I go I just keep getting reminded of games. It's getting to the stage now where every day I either see a word and think of a games title, or hear some sort of bleep (from a PC or something else) that reminds me of the music or sound effect in the game. If it gets any worse I'll start running around with blue hair and red shoes, stealing gold rings from everyone.
One example happened just today. I was reading a document and suddenly a couple of words caught my eye. They were just some sort of bonds, something like Marin Luagi, but for some reason my brain interpreted this as Mario & Luigi. It doesn't stop their either, I could swear to you that the fax machine's bleep is taken directly from Sonic 2 and that the computer in the background is secretly playing Jet Set willy. I'm sure I've heard someone go past today saying something from Street Fighter 2.
Perhaps there's a gang of people who are planning to help send me on my way to my very own white padded cell, but I think it's just that I've been playing games for most of my life and they are finally having an effect on me.
I therefore think that games should not only have an epilepsy warning, but should also be issued with a health warning reading:
"Caution: these games can cause halucinations, do not (under any circumstances) pretend to be a plumber and jump on tortoises or try to blow bubbles at oncoming ghosts"
if only for the sake of my sanity, which I believe to be fading fast. Now, where did that little bloke with the bomb go to.....

I thought this was another one of those three line joke topics when I saw two topics under exactly the same titles?
Ta, though yours was funnier...
"Caution: these games can cause halucinations, do not (under any circumstances) pretend to be a plumber and jump on tortoises or try to blow bubbles at oncoming ghosts"
LOL!
"Caution: these games can cause halucinations, do not (under any circumstances) pretend to be a plumber and jump on tortoises or try to blow bubbles at oncoming ghosts"
LOL!
Just popped to see two topics with the same title...
Although I'd say that the other post has better content...

Under the influence.....????? Gave me a different idea of what it's really about.
Anyways I have not experienced this before Pb, but I am sure at the rate I am going with my gaming I will be thinking that there is someone around the corner that I need to frag to win a game of Quake 3.
