ever feel like they get a freaking trip from just playing guitar hero? all the time i play it then look away from the screen and the room is literally moving and has wavy designs almost as though i was high. Quite the unusual experience i want to see if anyone had a similiar experience like mine.

No, I've never heard of that before. Are you not used to video games?

I get that everytime I play. Like everything is rising but it really isn't, it's like you're tripping. I guess they want the player to feel the full rockstar experience :wink:

Guitar Hero is one of the few games that affect in that way.

It's an optical illusion, from watching the screen scroll down for so long. I've never seen "swirly" before though, just the "room rolling upwards" thing.

Here's a similar effect: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/745479/cr ... _illusion/

When playing gitar hero on very high difficulties with an xbox controller (it's actually alot easier) I don't realy pay attnetion to the notes so much... I mearly observe and realise that I'v got a 400 not streak lol and when I think `wow` and focus I then miss a not.... I'v never had the room spinning before though... but sometimes when I'm at my computer desk I feal like I'm sinking slowly, and when I focus again I feel like my chair has got smaller...

I've experienced the Tetris Effect a couple of times, but more common for me is hearing video game music in my ears after a long play session, usually an RPG.

It doesn't happen very often, but if I indulge a bit (okay, a lot) and spend eight hours in a day playing a game, I hear the music of the game softly in my ears, almost as if I'd left the console on or something... it's strange.
