Every day, every single day, I walk out of my door and see this:
(https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Flizarddude.kontek.net%2FGearsBleedthrough.jpg&hash=208e4b32bb7736c87da1c8227962a8b0cdd1bbfe)
and I think, every single time,
"I should shoot that with my pistol so I can get over there without Kryll eating me."
This is known as bleedthrough, when you find yourself stuck viewing reality through the filter of a game you've played a lot. For about a week after playing Pikmin 2, my eyes would uncontrollably latch onto garbage in the street. I could spot a yogurt lid from fifty paces, easy. I couldn't help it.
Tell tales of bleedthrough here.
-
After seeing both Cars and Transformers, I would constantly stare at cars on the highways and roads when traveling. I blame Transformers in general for me wanting a yellow beetle.
-
Playing MGS2 causes me to look up at the sky, searching for airplanes (or more specifically, Harriers).
-
After playing Mario Kart for a while, when I'm in a real car I always think my mom's supposed to power slide.
-
After playing a Metal Gear or Splinter Cell I tend to formulate the most efficient route for infiltrating/exfiltrating a building.
After playing the 3D GTAs I will attempt to look behind me by holding the right analog stick while walking down a street and then realize I can't do that (crappy real-life controls). I also imagine that once I learn to drive I'll instinctively do handbrake turns everywhere.
After playing a murder simulator I become desensitized and learn to kill with my heart rate lowered (or so I've heard).
-
Back when I was in school when the hallways were empty, I would run as fast as I could hanging my arms out like Sonic, and whenever I hit a corner, I would do a Super Mario Wall kick to make a swift turn.
-
Burnout 3: Takedown was the worst.
I'd be riding in the back of the car, and at every intersection I'd subconsciously pinpoint the exact car I'd ram into if I was in the driver's seat in order to cause the most damage possible. I would always remark to myself, "This would make a great crash junction!"
I had to stop playing Burnout Revenge a month before getting my learner's permit.
-
I don't really get affected by bleedthrough - unless things like air Guitar Hero and unconsciously stepping DDR tracks when they come up in Winamp count.
-
In eighth grade my English teacher had all our vocab words above the whiteboard, all in rectangular strips and in a variety of colors. Every once in a while I imagine for minutes on end on how to re-arrange the strips so that placing the right colored bombs would trigger as many chain-reactions as possible. That was when I discovered the Wario's Woods SNES ROM.
Last year I become the center of attention at my senior prom with my dance moves (in which I was mining the actions one does in WarioWare: Smooth Moves and stepping like DDR), and after I finished the DJ announced "Let's all hear it for Tom!" I got a picture in the Providence Journal for my apparently awesome Wii-related dancing.
-
After playing a Metal Gear or Splinter Cell I tend to formulate the most efficient route for infiltrating/exfiltrating a building.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I take very long walks each morning in the Summer. On those walks, I sometime imagine myself sneaking past bystanders or "enemy territory".
-
I got the Tetris Effect witch is the same thing as a Bleedthrough only with Tetris
I tryed to make every thing fit in spots for the time I was on vacation, and Type A was the song drove threw my head contantly
-
Back when I was in school when the hallways were empty, I would run as fast as I could hanging my arms out like Sonic,
My very last class in my schedule was on the other side of the school from my second-to-last class. I used to run like this during the two minute passing period. I also would run like this when I needed to. One time, my friend asked me who I was imitating and I pretended like I didn't know who I was imitating. I don't do this anymore, however.
-
This isn't something that I can't control that OMG I DO ALL THE TIME, but sometimes I'll be some places or in open areas and imagine ? blocks floating everywhere and coins scattered everywhere, for instance. I always imagine (when I'm walking a far distance) how fast I'd be going and what path I'd take if I got the Rainbow Star from Galaxy and was running at like... what 15-20MPH? I imagine mowing people over and cars flying up and shaking like they do if you hit them in Double Dash/MKWii/DS with a star with the familiar sound of impact (since Double Dash) sounding like a PPK with a suppressor on Goldeneye (the game) ..and I always think what if I could seriously jump as high as Mario or Luigi... or had Smash Bros. physics and all I had to do was wiggle my arms in circles and be able to jump off anything. Do you know how useful that would be?!?! And to be able to punch and do Over+A and have my fist become as large as a beach ball??!! I'd hit everything!!! I've always wondered what being in a pipe would feel like (Mario-wise, obviously) and also how cool it'd be to have them in real life. Is it a vacuum like the banks use for their drive-thru? Being invisible would be really awesome too!
-
"I should shoot that with my pistol so I can get over there without Kryll eating me."
I can feel you on that one from seeing the picture. I have a shotgun but I wouldn't want to waste the limited ammo on a propane tank.
After very first playing Guitar Hero I would see the buttons whenever hearing music with guitar in it. That wore off after a few months. I also used to randomly fantasize about using the longshot to dart around when amongst buildings. Specific areas that would be close enough and made of the right material for longshotting would be identified and a path around the neighborhood would be mapped. That one came and went while playing Ocarina of Time. Those are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.
Also, I have a game to game bleedthrough: While playing Half-life I plan where I'm going to throw my grenades like in Halo 3, but then I remember I'm dealing with half-deflated helium balloon physics.
-
Whenever I see stacked boxes, whether they are neat or poorly stacked, I think of Teris. Sometimes, when looking at the fish tanks at Walmart (or other such pet stores), I look closely at the fish and think Which one of these closely resemble a Cheep-Cheep?
When I'm at work, I have to warm up a cinnamon roll. The microwave is under a part of the counter that I duck behind in order to get to it. I often hear the Mario pipe sound as I duck/come back when heating things up.
My parents have these mushrooms that grow near an old stump in their yard, and these mushrooms have a color scheme similar to that of Goombas. When they tell me to just stomp on the mushrooms, I hear myself getting points in my head.
I have looked at the clouds and thought I saw Mario and Yoshi flying through them once (I was fairly young, however).
Whenever I buy something I really want (most recently, Mario Kart Wii) then the Zelda You go the item! sound goes through my head.
After using the computer for extened amounts of time, if I want to go 'undo' something, I'll say Wait a minute, Undo that last statement.
I have more, but I think that about covers it. Do I have a problem? XD
-
Also, I have game to game bleedthrough
Oh man, all the time. The worst is when I try to rocketjump in Halo 3 or snake in [insert racing game].
-
Back when I was playing Baten Kaitos for an hour or two every day, I saw Magnus whenever I closed my eyes.
-
This technically isn't bleedthrough, but I always ctrl-C something in an attempt to paste in onto the computer next to me. Then my brain figures out that I can't do that. Then my brain goes nuts for a split second because it thinks I can't successfully transfer the data. Then I remember email and flash drives.
-
I tried to click on a spider that was crawling on the monitor once.
-
Trying to rocketjump in Halo 3 must look hilarious.
-
It works really well, but you are dead.
-
Anyone had bleedthrough and tried rocketjumping in RL?
-
I once played Dr.Robotics Mean Bean Machine a lot, but then I started dropping beans on everything in my head and it was realllllly distracting. Like if you were talking to me in front of some stacked boxes then there was no way I was listening. And this was even worse then Tetris because pretty much anything could be a bean in my head. I eventually had to stop playing the game it was so annoying.
-
For me, driving games have the worst game-to-game bleedthrough. I've tried doing Burnout: Revenge traffic checking during cop chases in GTA:SA and ended up crashing and looking stupid. I've tried pressing the right analog stick to activate car powers like in Midnight Club while playing Mercenaries, which shows how badly I relied on them. But worst was when I played GTA4 and kept mentally reverting back to the old controls.
EDIT: In some third-person shooters (and a few FPSs), I've tried looking over my shoulder (RE4)/entering first-person view (MGS) by holding down the right trigger, which did not have the desired result.
-
For a while I played MKW, then one day I just started playing MKDS, I started to turn DS like it was the wheel and shaking it, I also kep pressing the D-pad for items
-
That happened to me too. Weeks of MKW and I was no longer good at MKDS. :(
I also recall not being used to SMW's controls after weeks of SMRPG.
-
For a while I played MKW, then one day I just started playing MKDS, I started to turn DS like it was the wheel and shaking it, I also kep pressing the D-pad for items
Ha. after beating SMG I played some SMW and sometimes I shook the SNES controller trying to make Mario spin.
-
I don't think controls being different in games really counts as bleedthrough. Pressing X to reload in Halo 3 is just because the controls are different, whereas an attempt to rocketjump is more of a mental thing.
-
One time, I was sitting in the passenger seat, and we passed a truck with this board going all the way from the top to the street, so it looked like a ramp, so I thought that we should go off the ramp, shake the wheel, and make the car do a flip and boost. Once we passed it, a blue truck was driving beside us, and I felt the urge to throw something at it, preferably the banana peel in the car.
-
I seem to get Tetris syndrome off of any game with repetitive imagery. I just got Meteos the other day, and now I'm seeing those blocks falling when I close my eyes.
Interestingly, I don't think I've ever actually gotten the Tetris syndrome from Tetris.
-
I had that same problem when I played Meteos daily. Sadly, I don't know where Meteos is hiding these days.
-
After playing Professor Layton and the Mysterious Village, everything reminded me of a puzzle. EVERYTHING.
-
As far as game-to-real-life goes... yesterday I concluded that to avoid making a mistake in a plan I would save first. Then realized that wouldn't work. Thankfully I didn't make the mistake I anticipated.
Game-to-game is more common. I have tried to flip to 3-D in Yoshi's Island before, and once I tried to use L to to a roll-dodge in Luigi's Mansion. Luckily that make the Poltergust shoot fire at the ice ghost I was trying to avoid. I actually tend to try Smash Bros. maneuvers in a lot of games.
-
<Lizard_Dude> I played a couple hours straight SSBM
<Lizard_Dude> Then went immediately to SMB and was utterly terrible
<Lizard_Dude> I died on 1-4
<Lizard_Dude> Trying to do insta-turns and jumps and stuff
<Lizard_Dude> But just sliding into spankers and pits
-
I just had game-to-game bleedthrough happen a few minutes ago - I almost wasted a unit's turn trying to smash a pot in the ground in FFTA2 after playing Diablo II for a bit.
-
I spent ages looking for that quote. x_X
-
Sometimes I get scared thinking about multiple people spending ages hunting down obscure but relevent stuff I said years ago that I don't even remember.
So I go back to my happy place (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_izX2_Qtah0) and try to forget.
-
Sometimes I get scared thinking about multiple people spending ages hunting down obscure but relevent stuff I said years ago that I don't even remember.
Man, I've looked everywhere for this quote! I've lied, cheated, stolen, and sold myself on the streets, but it was all worth it.
-
At the doctor's office today, there was a small, circular crack in the ground. I've been playing The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past alot lately. I thought to my self "Bomb it." Then, I noticed what I just thought. I chuckled.
-
Well, I don't know if that's the term I would've used, but I suppose I've probably been a victim of bleedthrough a few times. However, I can't recall too many specific incidents, and most of those were tounge-in-cheek (like, I was playing Crainium with my friends last year at a Halloween party and this one guy I know who was more or less playing Phantom Hourglass alongside me was there. When we flipped the hourglass over, I was like "oh, no, my life is being sucked out!' and he was going along with it. That sort of thing.). However, as several people already mentioned, I constantly will, after playing a certain game for extended periods of time, unconsciously do this-or-that to perform a certain action when I switch over to another game--sometimes with life-losing results (i.e. Playing Wario Land 4 constantly, then dying in NSMB when I try to run with the R button). Me, personally, I refer to it as Residual Gaming Impulse, or RGI.
-
I'm not sure if this counts, but last week I was playing Guitar Hero 3 on a big screen T.V. for a while, and when I looked away, everything was scrolling upwards.
-
No, that's just an aftereffect of your vision system.
-
This makes sense, but I remember that certain noises (the "BLIANNK" alert sound from MGS, and the chainsaw sound from RE4) cause me to become instantly nervous.
-
After long bouts of F-Zero. I feel like I have the ability to make my car lean into turns for more turning ability....
Although not VG related, my old phone made a sound that sounded like a certain breed of bird chirping when the alarm went off. So when ever I hear that sound, it irritates the crap outta me.

Happens to me all the time. Play "Through the Fire and Flames", blinking minimally, and then spin around and stare at the room behind you. Who needs hallucinogens?
-

Isn't selling yourself a bit too extreme?
-
Especially considering it didn't get me any closer to getting LD's quote.

It'll also exercise your strumming arm (you thought I was going to put a joke here in this spoiler tag, didn't you?)

Life Rule #218: If you have a habit of thinking aloud, do not play any Legend of Zelda game in excess prior to waiting in an airport terminal and/or boarding a plane.
sold myself on the streets, but it was all worth it.
"Glorb the Orb" has a nice ring to it.
-
I have a habit of running up stairs, and I realize that it's mainly because I imagine Andross is coming after me in Brain-and-Eyeball form. In the game he has a habit of being right behind you as you struggle to turn around so you can shoot his cerebrum.
-
LSD
Didn't we call Lizard Dude that once?
-
Liquid Sugar Dude...actually, that kind of rolls off the tongue.
Yep, please now refer to me as LSD.
-
LSD and Glorb the Orb sounds like a reasonably fly rap duo. Or platforming pair.
....or both.
First person to whip up an LSD and Glorb the Orb album cover and/or game box wins eight internets.

Today after playing Okami I saw a single beam of light on a particular spot in the grass next to the tennis courts. When I walked past it on the way to practice, I looked at it and my brain told me to Triangle for some Praise.
-
At work two days ago, I looked at one of the benches and had the impulse to pick it up from where I was standing.
I had been playing Elebits for the past day and a half.
-
That sounds like something I'd do after playing Dead Rising.
Incidentally, after playing DR, I tended to becme uneasy when I saw large groups of people. I also became a big Lifeseeker fan.
-
I just remembered my oldest and most ingrained bleed through. It's such a basic part of my life I never recognized it for what it was before now.
Whenever I hear about or see Fudge Rounds (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fudge_Rounds) I always think about some kind of chocolate ammo you would put into the grenade launcher from Resident Evil.
-
I kept meaning to post here; thanks for reminding me.
In BioShock, pick-up-able items have a white shine go across them every few seconds. After a weekend of buttloads of playing and looking hard for shines, random objects in my semi-peripheral vision have been doing it. One of the more freaky bleedthroughs I've had.
-

That is so awesome, especially since I involuntarily imagined the inventory screen with "FUDGE R." selected when I read that.
-
I had two accounts of bleedthrough today, but can only remember one. I was walking down a hallway with a pipe going down it's length on the ceiling. Periodically it would split off into a room, one of these split off pipes was bright red for some reason, made me think I should go into that room. Weird that I have bleedthrough after only playing the Mirror's Edge demo. I'm pretty sure the second account of bleedthrough was related to Left 4 Dead, but I can't remember what it was for the life of me.
-
Bleedthrough's been happening to me a lot lately as a result of Sonic Unleashed. Every time I look at a road or around a corner, I keep envisioning Sonic boosting or drifting around.
-
I'm worried that playing that game will result in bleedthrough wherein I attempt to pick things up from an extreme distance whenever it's night.
-
I just walked outside and had my mind shattered by seeing

That was my old reply. Edits are in italics so it's a little more coherent.
I still basically think the same thing. Smash Bros. physics would still be awesome because I'd go jump off everything and just wiggle my arms in circles to slow down. Jumping as high as Mario (or Luigi, actually) would be extremely useful. A double jump and an Up+B Super Jump Punch would be even more awesome. I still imagine myself plowing through people and vehicles with a Starman. I'm actually making an animation about that.
One thing I forgot to mention in that old post is that after playing Road Rash 64 so much, I'd always play the lyric-less songs in my head from the game when I'd ride with my dad on his motorcycle way back then.

The 6th floor of the University Hall building is painted stark white with the occasional bright red pipe or door.
EDIT: Whoops, looks like I forgot that I already documented this on the page before this one.

I lol'd at LD's post. What an awesome thread.
-
post and image
I don't see how that would be mind shattering, unless it's because the gas can has no snow on it..? Does this have something to do with a game possibly..?
-
Well, considering the topic, I'm going to go out on a limb and say it is videogame related. (Mirror's Edge?)
-
You shoot it and its kills zombies.
-
You pour it into an engine for an unknown purpose (except for the Mall one).
-
I know the purpose: to win.

I've been experiencing it with going from NSMB Wii to NSMB DS.
When I start playing NSMB DS and I make a jump I realize halfway through that I might not make, I'll shake the DS thinking that I'll do that mid-air spin-jump stall.
-
Post-Braid, I kept compulsively pressing the Square button when I was headed for disaster in LBP. I guess that's more what I've called "Residual Gaming Impulse" than bleedthrough, though.
-

The same applies to me for SM64 after getting too accustomed to SMG's Spin mechanic.
On a related note, I've mistakenly called several of my friends "Mario" on different occasions.

Same.
-
That happened to me whenever I played NSMBDS or SMW after playing SMG for too long. I think I mentioned that in here before.
It always disturbs me a bit when this topic is right next to Things That Made You Poop A Little in the unread topics.
-
Now all we need is a "Favorite Table Stools" topic.
-
I guess I could make a thread entitled "Favorite Table Stools That Made You Poop A Little"
-
I potentially almost damaged my GCN once when, after having played SMG, I returned to SMS with a corded controller...
-
After playing Metroid Prime 2 for a little while, I feel like I'm going to start getting eaten alive by the atmosphere because I'm not inside a bubble of light.
-
Which, if you think about it, is a direct reversal of the traditional gamer's mindset.
-
Today while driving down my street, I saw a deer running alongside my car, and my brain wanted me to go into Dead Eye and shoot it in the head, then stop the car and get out and skin it.
-
I just got through playing alot of New SMBW, and then played the ds game. I wondered why Mario wasn't staying in the air longer when I shook the ds.. (I realise there have been similar stories throughout the thread..)
-

I had the exact same thing back in the day, except with a running dog.
-
I just saw this thread for the first time and thought, "LD got a lot of hits." I know it should have been "posts," but I guess my brain makes typos too ;) The reason I thought it was a new thread is 1) I'd never seen it, 2) The first and last post were in July, and 3) I'm dumb like that. Anyway, I thought it was such a great thread that I started reading the whole thing from the beginning and suddenly found myself thinking, "MEGABYTE POSTED!" That's when I realized my folly.
After playing guitar on Guitar Hero or Rock Band for a while I can't play a real guitar for crap, but this isn't really bleedthrough since no one can tell the difference :p
I've had bleedthrough like moments before, but I realize what I'm thinking so that probably doesn't count. On the other hand, I've often had a sort of haze or disconnection after playing for a long time or watching a movie in a theater. Once in college after watching a movie with my wife I treated a red light like a stop sign without realizing it until the blue lights from the cop that was right behind me woke me from my trance. That was scary. That cop had to actually wait for traffic before going through the intersection. I'm surprised he didn't give me a ticket.
-
I had the worst case of Tetris effect ever back when I was playing Cleopatra Fortune for hours a day. Doesn't happen with any other puzzle game, though.
-
This may not really be bleedthrough, but... post-Arkham Asylum, I found myself wanting to use Detective Mode in Uncharted 2, on account of my difficulty in picking out things in the surroundings on my blurry TV.
-
Well, to be fair, it would be nice to be able to see which thugs are covered from head to toe in armor before you start a firefight.
After I was playing Uncharted 2, and after playing Metroid Prime 2 a bit (still need to finish my current run), I kept trying to take cover when I was fighting Space Pirates. Which would also be nice, because those Dark Troopers can ruin you on Hypermode when you still don't have the Light Beam.
-
This is a non-games related example, but yesterday I got in a big-ass fight with my dad, wherein I said "dad" a lot. So a few hours later, I get a phone call from my girlfriend. I called her "dad" at least five times.
On a more gamesy note, I saw a movie the other day on TV that had a dude in a ten-gallon hat. I immediately identified him in my head as an Engineer.

When I was dating my ex-girlfriend Meagan, I sometimes slipped up and addressed my mother by her name.
-
I gotta stop playing this game: today, driving on my street again, this time at night, a rabbit almost ran under my wheel. Instead of swerving away, my mental reflex was, "oh, just another dumb rabbit" and almost tried to run it over. Then, no joke, I had the exact same mental process occur as every time I see a rabbit in RDR: "I feel bad running over this bunny because I like bunnies IRL"
-
I just looked at my RL watch trying to check what time it was in Dead Rising. I think that's the first I've had simultaneous bleedthrough while still playing the game itself.
-
Well, I think I've had a few times where I craned my neck or tilted in vain when the camera wasn't working very well.
-
Same. Just imagine how often we'll be doing that with the 3DS.
It's not gaming-related, but I once attempted to "click" the text in the liners notes of a CD. Ronnie Van Zandt's name was highlighted and underlined in blue, so I instinctively poked it.
-
My 4-year-old daughter plays Nick Jr. games on DS and on their website. A couple of times in real life she's said something like, "When you see a (insert object here), click on it."
-
The other day I was boiling water to make tea, and got frustrated it was taking so long. I then said in front of my brother and BP "Why isn't this water loading!?"
-
Does that mean that a watched game never loads?
-
The other night, as my friends and I were loading vomit-stained beddings into the washing machine (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=12960.msg578425#msg578425), I momentarily wondered what the soiled pillows and sheets would be alchemized (http://dragonquest.wikia.com/wiki/Alchemy#Dragon_Quest_IX) into.
-
Playing so much Reach has given me repeated strong urges to jump out in front of oncoming cars and activate my Armor Lock at the last possible moment, causing them to exploding into flaming wreckage against my invincible body.
A very dangerous bleedthrough.
-
What? I do that all the time, and I've never played Halo: Reach.
-
It was a really foggy morning today, and for a second I thought, "Man, I should increase the render distance..."

Lv. 10? Is that why you run so slowly?
-
I was so addicted to Wario's Woods (SNES) that I imagined the decorations on my ceiling picking each other up, stacking them on each other, and thus blowing themselves up.
-
Nah I run slowly 'cause I'm fat
Though, later on after I took them pics, I was walkin' on a path with some beehives. Full of bees. Beecause it's almost the season for the trees in the orchards to beear fruit and whatnot
Usually I'm good about not startling the bees. But one of the bees was like "Look at that guy, I'm gonna fly too close to his forehead for a few paces more than would make him comfortable"
I ran like hell

I was playing a ton of 3DS today and when I stopped playing and looked up, the real world was in 3D!

That can happen with anything, not just video games.
-
Well, yeah.
-
I guess it's more common with video games because they make for such an engrossing experience.

Wrong thread?

That only counts as video game bleedthrough if you are an unread swine.

I'm an unread swine!

The Tetris Effect is well know, but while reading http://www.amazon.com/Incognito-Secret-Lives-David-Eagleman/dp/0307377334/
I learned just how subconscious it really is. See attached. I'd known that our brain solves problems while sleeping, showering, or doing other unrelated stuff, but someone that can't even remembering having played the game learning from it is interesting.

Sometimes, I jump in water in Minecraft thinking it will restore my health.
-
That's not 'bleedthrough' as much as it is confusing one game's mechanics for those of another. It's like trying to dismount Yoshi in Yoshi's Island, only less embarrassing.
-
Jumping in water on early GTA games was punishable by death.
After years of playing classics I've always had strange bleedthrough at certain grocery stores; I constantly imagine the floor tiles to be life-size 16x16 pixel blocks in the ground.
-
Have you ever been in a waiting room or sitting on a foreign toilet staring at the floor and notice the tiles are the same but some of them are rotated differently?
First time I noticed that I was like "Clever, harder to notice than normal texture tiling but still saves on file space. Wait..."
-
Yes.
-
Seconded

After getting back into inFamous this morning, I was driving by a radio satellite tower and immediately visualized blasting it with electricity.
-
After playing an inFamous demo a while back, I could not resist trying to climb a brick wall in Cole's fashion. I of course failed. Not enough handholds.

I was walking through the woods around my house today for a while.
When I was done, I tried to quick-travel back.

Obviously some smartass doing the textures was like "I'll make this one tile different, to throw em off"
I was about halfway through Skyward Sword and driving home as it was getting dark, and I saw one of those white baby scorpions on the road! And almost ran it over! I'm sure that would've killed it if I had. Except now I think it was a bag or something.
-
There was a banana peel on the road and I ran over it. I thought "Man, now I need to book it to keep first place".
-
As the sun was setting, I was wondering why the moon wasn't rising, too.
Edit: A guy had rotating sprinklers that water the sidewalk more than their grass. I tried to time my walking so that I could move through them.
-
I just checked the dryer to see if my clothes were done, but they were still damp. Without thinking, I slammed the door and shouted "DRY SOME MORE" in the Heavy's voice.
-
Sometimes, when I find or get something awesome, I hold it over my head without thinking about it.

What if deja vu in real life means that you lost a life and are starting over from the last checkpoint?

Whenever I see those ball pits for children, I always worry that they'll accidentally bring together three or more balls of the same color and get a combo, causing the balls to disappear until the ball pit is empty. Thanks Bubble Bobble!

I haven't played any Dead Rising for a long while. But a few nights ago I was standing by my bed looking at my dog, and I said, "Come on."
I expected her to take that as meaning "get on the bed," which she can only do by jumping onto my chair at the foot of it to reach it. Instead, she walked straight towards me, and I immediately thought, "No, you dumb dog, no! Wrong way! Oh right, I have to set waypoints so the AI knows to make her jump onto the chair to get up there."
Well dogs may be pretty dumb but they're not as stupid as Dead Rising 1 NPCs

There's this jazz standard that I think of from time to time, called What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life. Listen to the first 52 seconds.

Whenever I hear it, I always think of Marble Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog:

Does this kind of bleedthrough ever happen to you, where you hear a song and immediately think of a video game piece?
-
Depends... there's those freak-coincidence soundalikes like "Never Gonna Give You Up" and Robo's Theme, of course, but then there's also brief chord progressions and certain "styles" of song as well that do it. Still, The Cosmic Observatory in SMG had to have been based on "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes" from Cinderella.

I was just playing a PC came and thought it had good atmosphere. It really sounded like rain. In the second chapter I took a wrong turn and died revealing that it was raining outside in real life.
-
I watched the yogscast Let's Play of Hitman: Absolution. Thankfully the only thing that happens to me is whenever I'm in a supermarket, I see the "Hide" context sensitive icon appear whenever I'm near objects of interest.
If I start seeing trails of fire where people are about to walk, that's when I'll start being worried.

I was fastening an outlet cover onto a wall in this room my dad is building, and thought I felt a draft in the corner (probably my imagination, as the outlet was boxed in). My first thought was "there must be a hole or some kind of faulty seam in the collisions somewhere around here"

TEM sends a contribution to this thread from China.
TEM sez:
The official EXIT sign in China looks almost identical to the EXIT sign in Portal 2 and everyday I see it thirty, forty, maybe even fifty times and the bleed through is so constant, so cutting, that I imagine portals appearing in the subway, in the mall that my work is located in, and every other structure in Beijing that I might happen to enter.
-
I was walking through a mall today and I heard breathy saxophone music coming from a store and my brain freaked out.

In other news, Pikmin 3 is having the usual Pikmin-effect of making miscellaneous garbage on the street really, really eyecatching.

I've been playing Postal 2 lately. It's this really polarizing game where you just have to accomplish mundane (if occasionally surreal) tasks on a to-do list in a nowhere town in Arizona, and while doing so are encouraged to kill innocents, police officers and Gary Coleman with the guns and other weapons you can find. It's either loved or hated depending on whether the player is okay with fake violence taken to its logical extreme--if killing everyone isn't crossing the line, you can also pee on anyone, living or dead...
So anyway I was driving today and passed two dead cats on the road and thought, "How did they die, I haven't already been here today"

After playing Fortix 2 (http://store.steampowered.com/app/45450/?snr=1_7_7_151_150_1) I drove a slightly different route to take my daughter to tutoring and thought, "If I drive back around the other way I can capture this area."
BTW, I've enjoyed Fortix better than expected based on the reviews, but I have a little nostalgia from playing Qix (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kbUylIWqtE) on Atari 5200 when I was a kid.

BP's story is bleedthrough in both a literal and figurative sense.

You guys, we let Lizard Dude play too much Street Fighter II.

The floor in my house's kitchen has been removed because there was a leak and it needs to be replaced. Until it is, this old china cabinet has been moved to the adjacent laundry/misc kitchen-related storage room.
I was cooking a couple weeks ago and needed some allspice. I couldn't find it in the kitchen and remembered it was in the laundry room last time I needed it, so I went back there. The china cabinet was in the way so I pushed it from the side. Then I hear a noise exactly like a giggling ghost from Luigi's Mansion coming from the other side. It was the door opening and creaking, but it spooked me.
