...it's not about whether or not you can complete 100% of the game, but how fast you can do it.
...you see kids and dogs on the street and wonder what they are.
...you're surprised when you see a pigeon fly away.
...you dream about the lollipop girl....every incline is a "ramping opportunity".
...when you think about making it with a girl, your thumbs hit an imaginary *A* button.
...you've started cataloging the inane stuff pedestrians talk about on the cellphones.
...headshots, headshots, headshots!

My "I don't see the world the same way" trifecta is GTA, Splinter Cell and Jet Set Radio Future.
We also used to joke that we knew we'd been playing too much Goldeneye when we'd feel the urge to avoid a security camera (say, at the mall) for fear of setting off alarms and being swarmed by armed KGB troops.
I worked at a radio station at the time, and once got into the studio undetected and crawled right up to my announcer.
I bet I could have hunted deer with my bare hands at that point.
