    .....do something by mistake in real life, that can only be done in GTA?

    I was driving home from work yesterday evening and I saw a dead weasel or a stoat on the road. Having never seen one before, I decided to get a better look by pulling back on my imaginary right stick.

    Yeah.....

    Yeah, stuff like that goes through your head after playing for a few hours.

    For one, sitting in traffic or paying tolls makes absolutely no sense.

    I'm always tempted to drive straight into any cyclists I see on the road.

    Me too, but that has absolutely nothing to do with GTA.

    Would those sensations be what gamers refer to as "immersion"?

    Thankfully I can differentiate GTA and reality at the moment :D

    I pulled my next door neighbour out of his car last night and kicked him very hard in the head a few times,then I realised where I was!!
    Luckily,when I explained,he saw the funny side and we laughed as I washed the blood on the road away.

    I jumped off Liberty Hall, but thankfully I had some life left, so I went to a hotdog stand and recovered.

    My missus doesn't play the game but is forced to watch at times when I take over the TV downstairs.

    Last night in her sleep she asked could we go to Cluckin' Bell?!

    yep - was walking home last night and literally pulled out my phone to call Roman for a taxi. Red faces all round.

    I was coming up to a small build up of traffic at some lights the other day and it did briefly flash that I could probably squeeze between the 2 lanes of traffic. US streets must be a lot wider than Irish streets cos I would've lost about half my car if I'd tried it :D
