How much of an influence do games have on your mind?
It must be quite a bit, as my wife often tells me that she has had dreams either about Nintendo games, or in which she is playing a Nintendo game.
Personally, I don't tend to remember many dreams, but this morning I had a rather odd experience.
I've been playing Mario Party2 quite a bit recently (review coming once I've played all levels, only I'll post it where it's supposed to go). And I think it's had a bit of an influence on me.
When my alarm went off this morning, I thought that it was part of a mini-game, so I sat watching it for at least 5 minutes. I kept thinking that the alarm clock would double in size, and start flashing at me.
It took me a long time to realize that this was not possible!
So do games effect you in strange ways, or am I the only freak?

Effect, Affect, I always get those mixed up!
I don't think that they get to you too much, or can influence you, but I think they get to some strange part of your brain, and stop you thinking rationally.
Why else would we accept talking animals so easily?

Apart from a lot more reckless driving nowadays compared to when I was a teenager, and the odd craving to buy a flak jacket and some artillery, no, gaming hasn't affected me in any way whatsoever.
