Too much PR makes crazy

-So, I was standing outside my apartment yesterday, having a smoke, when I noticed some movement some distance away. I tried to see what it was but it was too far away, so I scrolled down to get out my binoculars... I think I've been playing a little too much PR lately.

Training in SWAT4 CO-OP, saw a suspect, and instead of pressing my "suspect 1-2 o'clock" keybind or finding the teamspeak key, i tried to press the VOIP key and Q and almost also the left mouse button. I almost shot that guy, which would have compromised the entry team before the suspect saw us.
Well, the Element Leader got killed a few seconds after anyway. I, as R1, was the next guy to die (i was leader after the EL died), then the guy who was third leader and so on, everyone who was leader died, great round
Okay, a bit off topic. Anyway, i tried to press Q

I don't do any of that, but I find myself talking about Project Reality to work colleagues or my parents' friends...not just people who haven't played PR or vBF2 - they don't play games at all! It's very embarrassing.

Or find 2 people outdoors and tell that you need them to set a rally point

There was a time when I played PR a lot (like 8-10 hour a day). When I was going to sleep after a long day of fighting I've seen an ironsights before my eyes everytime I tried to close them

I can't say I play PR that much,but nevertheless what I've definitely got to do is reduce the amount of time I spend playing it

When I play for more than 6 hours in one day.....
I see the sights.
Hear battle sounds.
My dreams are Pr related....ALL of them.
My girlfriend says I speak in radio chatter in my sleep.
I keep checking the map in my dream.
List is endless...
And I hear rally points outside.

I hear that. This girl I was sleeping with was really anti-war and stuff, and she'd *always* ask me as soon as I'd wake up, "what were you dreaming about" because she knows I always remember my dreams vividly. I'd always have to reply, "......ummmmm........ war........"
I went snowboarding this weekend. A skier cut me off while I was flying down this one slope. I had to cut really hard to avoid them, hitting a mogul and barely absorbing the shock with my quads. "F***ing n00b!", I yelled at him.

You probably had to check if he had a skier kit

We'll have you ever flinched because you heard a snap!? I have once, in class, there was this screeching in the hall way that sounded exactly like the super sonic bullet snap. So I flinched and get my head down low, embarrassing.
And i have the snap ringing in my head all day lol.

I've never had anything crazy like hearing things IRL with games, but sometimes I dream about them, and since I rarely remember my dreams, even that's not too common - And I'm quite a game-heavy person.

I don't cross the street downtown unless I'm sure there are no rooftop snipers in the tall buildings.
And when a bum rounds the corner, instinctively, I hear 'Enemy unit spotted'.

That used to happen with the tommy gun sights when I used to play COD2 before I lost my cd key....don't ask me how I lost it.....it's a very retarded story.
