So recently I went for a night out with some people I know and I guess I don't despise. And I had put the next day aside for purposes of recovery. And sitting with a hangover I drank some Guinness for breakfast and decided to go for some of the achievements I never got round to grinding out on Saints Row the Third. And I played about five hours straight without moving and then decided to go to the local shop for some milkshake. And I didn't drive if for no other reason than frankly I was still probably slightly too drunk to drive. But getting to the end of my short road I decided that walking was too much trouble. And there was a car stopped at traffic lights and I walked up and reached towards the handle to pull out the driver and jack their car and then as they looked at me in horror I realised it was real life. And didn't steal their car. But it was pretty damn close.

Has anyone else had this problem? Do computer games really lead to criminal acts? Should Saints Row come with some kind of warning about this?

In other news I have now experienced that contributor level degradation that people often moan about and my own level has alarmingly gone from 7.12 to 7.06. It is OK though - I think I have found a simple fix to the issue.

Did this really happen or is it just satire? :D

Mostly just something to make the link less obvious and make sure people are paying attention. But it was entirely based on a true incident.

You are telling me you really did this? It's still surreal to me... That's crazy. :D

After coding or working for a few hours straight, I make a mistake, then turn to look around me to find the Ctrl+Z combo.
Then I get disappointed when I realise it's a real life mistake. :'(

I've done that after spending too long on a digital painting. Also I made a mess of an omelette I was cooking and threw it on the floor and then tried to reload from my last save.

I think what can be learned from this is that I need to get out more. But not to drink.

Never had that happen to me after playing video games for a long time ...
... but then again I don't drink.
Although now I want to get a milkshake ...

I have had my mind drift into imaginary games of Tetris when I'm supposed to be listening to something important.

Guinness for breakfast after a hangover? I guess the "hair of the dog" doesn't really help :)

Well, I admit I was close to jumping on a seemingly abandoned pushbike I found on a hill after playing DayZ for too long that I should have had. And that was without drinking.

I didn't have such cases. If I do something for a lot of time during the day (gaming/coding/studying/etc) I usually have a lot of dreams connected with what I was doing. Also I may then unconsciously make comparisons with things I do in real life, but without any acting

Well, I do swear considerably more now, though I haven't attempted any crimes. I would blame the semi-hungover state for your almost crime spree.

I've heard that Saints Row is a bad influence on kids, too. ;)
