Question Of The Day: Has Gaming Affected You In Real Life?

It’s Friday today, as you might have guessed, and everyone here at the legendary-yet-suspiciously-shady eGamer office are slacking off. I, Tody, got the short straw and was kicked out of relaxing time to do some work. I call racism, but somewhat suspiciously no one believes me. Anyway, let’s address today’s question. Naturally, since games are such an important part of our lives, (you know, as gamers) we can expect them to spark some changes within us and our ways of thinking, speaking and even our actions. Depends on the person, indeed, but the concept remains the same for each person.

So today’s Question Of The Day is: Has Gaming Affected You In Real Life? Tell us how, no matter how big or small, it has affected you and what you do, say or think as a result. For example, I have often called people noobs, despite the fact that some of them, in actuality, have no idea what I’m calling them. I’ve also seen crosshairs appear when I’m holding weapons of mass destruction and I’ve seen the circle button appear above people’s heads who I wanted to attack – although this could just be because of too much exposure to God of War.

Alright, I’m kidding about the crosshair and circle button things there :D But you get my point!
