You ever play a game so much it starts to intrude on your everyday thoughts? Maybe you spy a piece of driftwood and think to yourself, "that looks an awful lot like a brute shot." Maybe you see the side of a building and see tetrominos falling. Flickr user, AgentG must have Crackdown on the brain, because he sees agility orbs everywhere. From Mt. Rushmore to the Eiffel Tower to EPCOT, those agility orbs could be anywhere. AgentG has even gone to the trouble of locating some secret orbs, too. You'll have to look very carefully to spot them though. Halo 3 beta or not, the wait for Crackdown is becoming interminable. Hopefully these pictures will ease the pain a bit. Hit the "read" link to peruse some more.

I was just on the highway yesterday and apparently had Saint's Row on the brain, I was coming to an overpass and there was a piece of grafitti on the side and I had the immediate urge to jump out and tag it.

I've been playing too much GRAW and Rainbow Six Vegas.
Yesterday I was walking into a client meeting. As I turned the corner about to enter a long hallway, I found myself almost automatically wanting to plant my back against the door frame and peak around the corner to see if it was clear before entering.
I was also walking through my kids room the other day and noticed my neighbor in his garage across the street. My first thought was "he hasn't seen me yet, I can get him with one shot."
Isn't that sad?

Haha...these stories are great. About a month ago, after playing Oblivion for about 18 hours, I went out to get some smokes. As I passed a barn, I was looking at the boxes beside it wondering if there were any lockpicks in them.

Hah I have a good "someone's been playing too many video games" story. My friend has Call of Duty 3, and he's been playing it quite a lot lately, and after one particularly long session, he went to bathroom. He lives in a dorm so it's a community bathroom. Anyways he opens the door and someone is standing there on their way out, so his very first reaction he told me was a VERY strong urge to melee the dude in his face. I thought it was funny.

dammit! just lost my comment!
WOW these are f**kin awesome! i'll have to admit...i have seen agility orbs planted atop buildings in toronto...particularly on the way up the cn tower. (http://www.cntower.ca/portal/) (altho they would need a couple x5 and x4 agility orbs up there...cuz i have no clue how the hell you'd actually make it up... and yes...there are multipliers on each orb...it depends on how many little orbs are above the big one. note: all the ones in these pictures are x1 orbs.)
as for the hidden ones...i love the ones from games: gta, viva pinata, halo 3, gears of war and saints row...purely ingenious!!!
i have to say...this has made my day...at least i know theres someone as crazy about this game as me...i've been think of goin 2 jump from rooftop to rooftop lately...although its probably not the best idea cuz i could kill myself quite easily...LOL

LOL! at all these stories. #5 especially tickled me, imagine some dude wanting to melee another!!!
As for me, after I had first played the second chapter of GEARS, I finished up, turn off the TV etc and then all the lights downstairs. It then occured to me I was in pitch black, so ran like sh*t off a stick to the bedroom as I thought I'd be attacked by the frickin Kryll :)

Yeah, I wouldn't advise it. Unless you have some special ability to Regenerate in real life !!

The best is when your walking through a store with a group of friends and everyone of them makes a comment on how they could use items in Dead Rising. Good times.

You know your comments will only feed the anti-gaming groups.
I am a gamer and it sickens me to hear some of those stories, your video games should be taken away from you as you make us normal gamers look like fools.
I'm pretty sure you are not repsecting the age restriction of those games. You are so out of touch with the real-life it's scary.

Not exactly the same thing, but who here has experienced world bleeding as a result of too much guitar hero? Freaked me out pretty bad the first time it happened, and I had been warned about it.

Guitar Hero makes you think you could get on stage with an axe and just go to town? :p

Sometimes in the mornings when i'm half asleep and pulling myself to school, I'll take a look at some shrubs at the side of the road and consider browsing them for ingredients...

Oblivion or World of Warcraft?
