Talk:Tetris effect
There have been reports of this effect occuring with the game Meteos. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.135.123.8 (talk)
Remember Sammy Jankis?
Could the Tetris effect be related to the ability of anterograde amnesiacs to learn skills, as explained in the movie Memento? --Damian Yerrick (☎) 06:15, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Guitar Hero
does guitar hero really apply?
--Danlock2 14:22, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm sure it does apply. However, in my opinion, Guitar Hero doesn't have nearly the same popularity as Dance Dance Revolution or Tetris for that matter. It isn't our job to list every game where the tetris effect can be seen. I'm going to remove it, if you disagree, feel free to add it back in. ~a (user • talk • contribs) 14:55, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Violence in Video Games
I wonder aloud, (at least digitally,) whether this phenomenon could be used to bolster the arguement that overly violent video games are damaging. I have heard anecdotal reports of players of Grand Theft Auto who briefly entertain the possibility of carjacking. Of course this may perhaps be a commentary on the people I hang out with more than the phenomenon --Roninbk 09:55, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- Yep. I have considered carjacking after playing too much GTA. However, the important thing is that I never stole any cars and entertaining the possibility of breaking the law isn't illegal or violent. Plus, like you said: anecdotal. ~a (user • talk • contribs) 12:48, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- After playing Team Fortress Classic in high school, I started seeing "red dots" (the laser mark of a sniper rifle, as depicted in the game). I've also suffered from the Tetris effect after DDR.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.212.30.130 (talk)
- When I first started playing Star Craft online,I played it so much that I would hear the sound of dieing zerglings when I tried to sleep.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.85.235.233 (talk)
- I had the same thing with Starcraft too. I would dream about missile turrets spinning around, over and over.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.163.120.144 (talk)
- That happend with me with Halo 2, I played it so much I kept hearing the sound when your shield gets depleted, this was also followed by me thinking "Oh crap!" and than realising it wasn't happening. Simular things has happend to me with games like Puyo Puyo, WoW and Instant Messaging programs.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.28.237.112 (talk)
This is interesting. I don't have time to play games so much anymore, but many years ago when I played Doom (it may have been Doom 2) and I had a very vivid dream where I was in the Doom world and it looked like the graphics on the screen.
Another interesting effect I had (I don't know if I can describe it right), when I played a lot of Jedi Knight II and you have "force powers" (such as grabbing a weapon out of an opponents hands) and I felt like if I wanted something from across the room I should be able to "will" it to me. I mean the force was real in the virtual world and I had this sensation that it should work in the real world. Similarly when I played a lot of Matrix Online you have this hyper jump ability and at the time I went to a downtown area and felt as if I should be able to jump ontop of the highrise buildings.
