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.

I once found myself buying Barbies and a dream dollhouse at the store... I was influenced by a dark presence called Student123 and I had to make some molotov cocktails with them and throw them at pedestrians while speeding at 200 km/h under the influence (of stuff) to return to normal.

I'm clean now, no more pink things or other damaging addictions.

I actually won the game and I work out my pink thoughts on that.

Considering how easy it is for our minds to play tricks on us, "reality checks" should be made frequently.

After playing Flatout I was afraid I might drive a bit too aggressive afterwards and had to remind me that I'm not in the game anymore

I know what are you talking about... I sometimes want to make "quicksave" and then i'm like: "Dude WTF? It's not a computer game xD"

They can lead to violent acts if you lose your grip on what is reality and what isn't.
Others like mimicry, because it makes them feel cool.
My opinion, of course. No evidence to back it up or anything.

Pretty much yes. I had been grinding the '250 carjackings' and '50 hostage diversions' challenges for the last few hours and the street corner I was at was strikingly similar to my favourite carjacking spot and I was momentarily confused...

I have had this problem. I played a bunch of PAC-MAN one day and a few days later I had surgery to remove the 140 ping pong balls that I had eaten from my digestive tract.

If true, this phenomenon would explain why I am always trying to conquer the galaxy... Damn you Master of Orion!

Honestly I've always doubted people moaning about violent videogames, because mostly are scared moms who are worried for their over-staminaed children, only After looking at what THEY bought for them. Well, your story freaked me out, just thinking about the consequences that your act could have brought. Alcohol helped but damn! That's though stuff. Also, good job fixing your issue there ;)
