One day, I was looking at my monitor and then when I least expected it, BAM! Porn everywhere! That was the best hallucination ever! (or was it real?)

I never had any weird experiences with my computer

Well, last year I spent 18 hours straight playing Diablo II. Afterwards I went to sleep, and whenever I closed my eyes I saw scenes from the game (the monsters, deaths, magical items...). It's very disturbing

I put a sound scheme on my dad's Windows shut-down screen. It's from 2001: A Space Odyssey. HAL's voice comes up, and breathing very heavily, he says "Dave...mind is going...I can feel it...I can feel it."
It's very creepy...I have to turn the sound down.

Hmm lemme think ...

Well this one is sort of like Boltzmans ..

I was playing Giants for like about 8 hours a day for two weeks on summer vacation last year and when I would go mto bed thats all I dreamed about. I suppose it isn't really scary, but the monsters called rippers in that game are freaky as hell ...

I want my mommy!

hmmmm I had an incident where some text from a 1on1 LMS UT match seemed burned on my screen, but the next day it was gone. Maybe it was burned on my eye

It was "You killed de.nvidia*inf1".

It was just 1 match, and well over a year ago, but yeah that was kinda the point I was making. I fragged that over-arrogant fool too much for his own good, in that one match.

But seriously, it was a joke. It never appeared to me as if it was burned in my monitor. Weird things and computers simply do not mix.

Why is that weird? A blue screen is triggered logically, it's a reaction, it doesn't pop out magically. Weird indicates something unusual/rare or supernatural/unexplainable.

This means that by definition, considering things weird could be related to lack of understanding, I suppose.. nevermind then. This suggests whether it's weird or not is subjective, depending on acquired knowledge.

I have the same experience with Grandia 2, and FF7. FF7's story had such an impact when
SPOILER: Highlight text to view.
cloud ended up an a wheelchair

I had to go home cause I've been playing it with my cousin for three days. So I was in the story, but just quit it at a very unfortunate moment, which kept me thinking about it all the time.

But the worst scenario is: Playing an old game, like a NES game, and having the music stuck in your head This can drive you crazy.

Weird uh?

well I was brushing my hair through the webcam (yes I do that sometimes ) and I was messing with my eyes then they did some kind of blue looking effect.

it's caused by the Monitor.

Looks weird isnt it?

Not long ago, a demon got into my PC and hid in the windows calculator.
When I open it for use, my PC powered off

In fact that demon popped out of it and attack my GF4MX at this time so I had to remove and replug it
