Playing too much GTA

    Had a long session of GTA 4 last night and I think I might have overdid it. First thing this morning went out for some smokes and milk and something seemed strange as I was driving down to the shop. Couldn't put my finger on it, then I realised.....

    I was on the wrong side of the road :eek: Lucky it was Sunday morning. (It was my motor though, I hadn't jacked it :p)

    I went out for a walk today and found myself casing out nice cars. And people say games have no effect on your behaviour !!!

    The first week GTA came out, I played it so much that my eyes went completely pink!! It was sore to blink, watch TV, basically to open my eyes..Eventually I went to go the chemist to get eye drops. The pinkness didn't go away until a week later.

    Optrex
    All pharmacies and many supermarkets sell it. It's brilliant stuff, essential for all serious gamers ;)

    When Im driving I keep imagining slamming pedestrians up against buildings.

    ....Need to cut back on it i think.

    I don't drive myself, which is probably a good thing, but a friend of mine is a bit freaked since, after an 8 hour session in the game, he went to collect his missus from work and had ran two red lights before he realized it :pac:

    I'm worry I'm going to have a patience problem when I start driving. I've played nothing but GTA and have never driven properly. Watch out for me :rolleyes:

    was out behind work this morning having my early morning cigarette and i saw a secuircor van on the road and the first thing that came to my mind was to throw a grenade at it to get sum money!! :p kinda scary! as most of ye know money can be earned in gta4 by destroying secuircor vans

    Hasn't happened to me this time, but when Vice City came out, I was playing so much I was seeing the city streets whizz by me when I looked at the carpet in my bedroom when going to sleep. I have noticed myself wanting to just shove people out of my way when walking along a street, but that's normal for me I think ;)

    On the way to work this morning I was looking at the multi-story carpark beside my office thinking there might be a gun on the roof :rolleyes:

    You know in GTA when you see a nice car you want to rob it? I had the same feeling while cycling. I started wondering about how fast it was and all.

    Sadly I haven't been playing enough.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,269 ✭✭✭cabrwab


    Haven't felt the oh sh*t being playing GTA too much yet.
    But i remember with GTA3 and Vice city i could be sitting in the bus thinking i could rob that bank, Take that car, kill that women pick up the money she drops and i might only get a 3star rating.
    Then i just need to find a garage to do a spray, oh wait none of those in dublins. Better scrap those plans i suppose!
