haha, BrokenAC - a few years back, I knew I was playing too much Unreal '04 when, on walking down the street and noticing a helicopter or plane fly overhead, I'd feel the physical shiver of reaction go though my body to switch to AVRiL (homing rocket), track it, then fire - all within half a second. I mean, there was an actual physical impulse - I could feel my neck loosen to focus upward, the message go down my spinal column to change weapon - everything. Quite strange.
Also, years ago, when I used to pop home and nip around in my old wee Ford Ka, during the period I was playing quite a lot of Mario Kart, I got quite annoyed that I couldn't bump the car around corners at high speed - if I recall correctly, I might have even (once or twice) physically tried to shunt the damn vehicle - even though it's half a ton or so, and not made of pixels! :)
God knows what this all implies for our descendants, who may well be half-brought up in virtual worlds...
