So, it's Fredas and time for a silly thread.
I stumbled upon this picture and it got me thinking...
what-people-sees-what-gamers-see-f-gaming-hub-worryingly-accurate-4121070.png
I have a tendency to always look for the best spot to hide from a sniper, or the structure most easily defendable from a zombie attack.

What are your gamer reflexes doing to your brain when out in the real world?

    Once when I was really tired and on the way to work I went past a field with some blue flowers, and not a word of a lie my brains first thought was I needed to pick the corn flower.

    After that I realised I shouldn't really spend until early hours playing ESO.

    My character always runs the content solo...

    I see the beautiful and scantily-clad elf girls walking by... I never talk to them. My quest log is already full and I can't afford the requisite build setup.

    My current spec and Mundus just aren't well suited to a support role. The divines mock my pain.

    I don't think I have ever brought the gaming world into reality...However after all my years of gaming I can tell you that I don't dream..if I do dream I can't ever remember it... I heard someone say once its because you game so much that your brain begins to tell you what is real and what is not so you instantly can tell that your dreams are fake, and you can control "not" to dream.

    Here is an article about it that i just found for you guys to check out, I can't be the only one who does this:

    Also horrible RNG, very little endgame, and don't even get me started about the grind.

    On a more familiar note, it likes to constantly change the 'rules' too.

    @Phinix1 , the only reason I can see you don't have more awesome's (fixing that now) is that people aren't making the connection.

    Well done, sir!

    You can harvest it but only once every year :)
    Remember starting ESO, came to the moon sugar plantation and was disappointed I could not harvest all the plants.

    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    I have a tendency to always look for the best spot to hide from a sniper, or the structure most easily defendable from a zombie attack.

    What are your gamer reflexes doing to your brain when out in the real world?

    I remember riding to work after a 12 hour PVP sesh and out the corner of my eye people would have blue D.C. or yellow A.D. icons on their heads.

    Figured it was a good time to step away for a couple of days after that.
