Ha :D
I tend to get RPG syndrome myself. After playing far too many hours of Diablo 2 or Baldurs Gate (sometime ago now, admittedly), I began to see a blue mana and red health gauge out of the corner of my eye. Whenever something happened during my day at work that required interaction, I'd mentally press a space bar to pause the action, so I could properly analyse the situation and effect an appropriate response.

Not that I'm mental or anything.

Last time we had a powercut, my first thought was
"Damn, I need to build additional pylons"

I spent so much time
playing Abe's Exoddus as a kid that the idea of quicksaving burrowed into my brain. I nearly got run over once cos I figured I could run for it and if I didn't make it I could reload and try again...
And yes, I would've been proud of my shiny darwin award, if I survived being smeared over the pavement...

Same here
I played Dead Rising so much that last Christmas when I went shopping in the large Mall in Milton Keynes, I physically stopped dead when I first the saw the crowds of people and though 'Shit I need to find a sledgehammer'

Reminds me of the time
I was playing Gran Turismo and instead of turning round to greet someone who'd walked in I simply pressed the 'look behind you button'.
