> Anyone else? I know people have geek stories. Confess.

Okay, this one goes more for my "video-game playing geekness" than my computer geekness, but I think it qualifies anyway. So I'd been playing Banjo-Kazooie the last few days (and this is like 8 hours at a time), which is a 3D game that allows you to control the camera angles. I went out to see the restored Gone With the Wind, and the entire time I was watching the movie (all 3 hours or however long it is), I kept hitting buttons on an imaginary controller, trying to change the scene. Heh.

And I've actually played entire games of Star Craft in my sleep (really, when the game first came out it dominated all of my waking time as well as when I slept)...

Oh, has anyone ever used emoticons while writing by hand? I know I have.

I can't think of any others (or any regular computer ones) but I'm sure I have them. Will post more if I come up with them. I like this topic :)
