Anyone get 'Computer Game Sickness' ??

[Stobart Stopper]

Don't know about sickness, but our son was sleepwalking last week and when I turned him around to get him back to his bed he said I had "glitched" him.

Today i was subjected to a very long bought of management consultancy. I ended up imagining Company of Heroes tactics to help explain my working practice. You've got to be aggressive - rush the points.. and be prepared if they get a Stug out to sticky bomb it.. etc

In days gone by I once played Warcraft 2 so much that when I wanted a snack from the kitchen I actually looked around for a Peon.

Haven't played any for years - though will again.

Anyway, no memorable dreams but, like Atomic Suplex, would have this weird way of seeing life in terms of game strategy. It's hard to put into words unless you've experienced it - maybe someone else can explain. Anyway, a sure sign that you've been overdoing it, I think.

I know that feeling. You're right - it is hard to explain. You find yourself thinking you can't do something cos of something else you need to do first - and then you remember that that doesn't apply in real life.

It's really quite conveniant when your halfway through a difficult level in a strategy game and realise it's 3Am, go to bed and are able to continue plotting because you can still see the map in your head(!).

When I was playing oblivion obsessively during the summer every time I saw a flower in the hedgerow while driving past I had an urge to collect it...

BF2 got me quite bad too. I was in a clan who ranked 3rd or 4th in the UK amateur ladders so I played quite a lot (I stopped when the timer said I had wasted 400 hours of my 20s on it...). I noticed myself scanning the skyline of tall buildings looking for snipers and flinching whenever I heard a helicopter. There was also the urge to stick my head out of the sunroof and grab the machine gun
