One night in 1999 I played EQ for 24 hours.
After the all-niter, I went to the zoo and opened the wolf cages while sporting a slab of ribeye steak tied to my waist. Running directly through screaming crowds of people, I shouted "TRAIN"!
Were you camping in Lguk for a Flowing Black Silk Sash? I once played EQ for 24 hours straight too, camping for one of those. After so many hours, you refuse to give up, because the RNG has got to come up for you soon.

Jesus you people are weird. I have real nightmares, like consistently dreaming I'm back in school again...

I don't hear explosions after playing, but many times I'll have restless nights where I continue playing a game while sleeping in dreams and wake up exhausted.
I get those too, and hate them. Generally a sign I have to put that title aside for a few days.
Not frequent, but it sucks when they happen...like my brain can't shut off.

I've had this too. Body has stopped playing the game, but the brain has not. Extrapolating scenarios and stuff. Even without an actual game feeding your information the brain just keeps on churning along making it up.

Haha:
"One gamer even reported hearing someone constantly whispering ‘death’ for a few days."
They didn't explain in the article, but that has to be from Black and White. I don't think I was hearing it, but it's one of those goofy sound effects I still remember and occasionally look up online.

Man I thought I was the only one who had those. I have to make sure I give my brain some buffer time before bed to stop it from happening. When it happens it's like I know how the game is supposed to play but in the dream everything doesn't work properly so I get frustrated. Usually have to get up and read a book or work out a bit to get it out of my head.
Yeah I use a buffer time to, usually watching TV or reading or some other activity helps clear the video-game brain. Usually the dreams are terrible and frustrating, but occasionally they are epically awesome. One I had I was a Marine from StarCraft and I was mowing down hordes of zerglings as I helped some people escape an overrun complex; terrifying yet exhilarating. Another was pretty much like Quake 3, with bounce pads, railguns and the wholelongest9 yards.
