Real World Doesn't Use a Joystick

[Allnatural]

Doesn't use a keyboard+mouse either, so my delusional killing sprees are far less effective than they could be.

Some people must not be allowed near video games.

Haha, how can you confuse real life with a video game... that is so lame, for one you must be looking at a monitor and using mouse/keyboard.. and last I checked I wasn't able to slow down time at the touch of a button (ie max payne 2)!

If only I was a level 72 knight in real life.. I'd kick so much ass..

Oh I see a guy outside.. time to die monster!

Someone. Gun. Quickly.

After playing world of warcraft today I can safely say at the end of the week there will be no bunny rabbits left with fur.

i hope that article was a joke, because that is the most stupidest thing i've ever heard. If these people are real, i'd literally smack common sense into them, they need it

It's not uncommon to switch to an altered conscious state (ie hypnosis-like state) while playing video games.

It's not always easy to get out of it.

A long time ago I used to play a game called Multi-User Dungeon -- text-based -- and the syntax would be to type "say" before you would converse with someone.

Well, another gamer-friend caught me verbally saying "say" before I told him something, that was 10 years ago. Also, I would sometimes be spelling words out and adding punctuation while I was thinking of them; since the game was text based. That was when gaming time > reality time.

So, it happens... But I can't imagine the woman who grabbed the wheel of the car, that's a little overboard.

How many of us have used "rofl" in a conversation? Come on, fess up.

Perhaps we should keep you away from guns and pointy objects.

hmm... I'd just like to say that only feeble minded individuals with low IQ's could possible confuse reality with a computer game, then again, most people are feeble minded and have low IQ's.

That said, I have NEVER confused a computer game with reality.

I remember this one time I drove over some drug dealer, and then I stomped over his body for a while, but no money came out :\

Perhaps if you ran over a old woman instead?
