As a kid, I thought ice came out the ice farm. Yes like Minecraft.

When I was a child, I saw the film "Ready Player One".
So I though that if I play to much video games I would be stuck in the game.
Also , I crafted an aluminium hat for not to be teleported in a game.
Today , I'm not even scared of this at all because I play a lot more than before.

Not me, but my uncles. They used to believe that the games they’re playing were being filmed underground by camera.

When I was really little I always watched my dad play Bejeweled. If he moved two gems that didn't make a valid combo it would say "illegal move" and I cried because I thought he would go to jail.
I used to believe that the game The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was the longest game ever.

The first time I played a game with "specular lighting" I misread it as "'spectacular lighting", and thought it made the lights look more spectacular if you turned in on (which I didn't, because the game already crashed a lot.)
I used to believe…
When I was sevenish, I was playing a game online and whenever I lost, it said, "Bad Luck!".
I thought that this was because the game creators were superstitious and believed that it was bad luck if someone lost at their games, like breaking a mirror or whatever.

When We first got our xbox it had jet set radio future(game where you graffiti and skate and stuff)
anyway it came up with a warning at the start of the game saying graffiti is an act of vandalism with this big post(saying real life vandalism is a crime) But I thought that it meant that I couldn't play the game because I would be breaking the law and so I turned it off and felt terrible thinking I had done something wrong, when my Mum and brother came home they assured me it was fine.
I used to believe…
When I was about seven (maybe eight, maybe six but around that age) I dreamt that I was trying to play games on my favorite website in the middle of the night but found out that at nighttime, websites with games on them turn into "serious" websites and all the games become unavailable.
I also used to have this recurrent dream about finding out that I'd left a computer game abandoned and the sprites were crying.
I was curious and wondered if either of them were true, but didn't test either of them because with the first one, I didn't want to break the rules and with the second one, I didn't want to make the poor sprites sad.

When i was a kid, i thought a monster would pop out of the DVD player if I turned it on past my bedtime

This is going to sound weird but the game Pokemon taught me to read and learn new words as a little kid. But I never comprehended what the attack "SELFDESTRUCT" was supposed to be. It's basically "self destruct" in all caps and with no space in the middle. I remember thinking it was a powerful attack (even if it made your Pokemon faint) and deserved a powerful sounding name. I pronounced it "Self destraudaduct".

I used to believe if you spit on the bottom of a DVD and put in the computer's DVD drive, it would create special affects on the screen
I used to believe…
In my early days of internet chatting, if the other person was online but not responding soon enough, I'd worry they had a heart attack or somebody kidnapped them or something. Nowadays I realize that it's more likely they're just thinking, or distracted and I feel like I'd been stupid as thunderation.

I used to think that if you leave the Xbox console on too long, it will overheat and explode!
I used to believe…
When I was very small, I was convinced my father (who had no interest in video games whatsoever) had a hidden video gaming hobby, and would sit up at night playing them. I would hear suspiciously video game-like sounds coming from the television late at night, and try to imagine what kinds of strange, secret games he was playing.
I used to believe…
When i was a kid, i used to believe that when i played a games versus the computer, there was a man else where paid to play with me.

I used to believe that when we turned off the PS1 the characters of the video games would hang out at a bar, and talk about how bad or good we were at the game.
I used to believe…
When I was little I used to think there was a real person controlling the video games as I played them. I would sometimes even talk to them and tell them to go easy on me and stuff.
hall of fame
I thought there was some video games so hard that if you died on them you also died in real life!
I used to believe…
When my dad got the program Turbo Tax I asked my brother what it was and he said it is a video game where the government is trying to kill you for not paying your taxes and you have to escape! (I'm not sure if he actually believed this or was tricking me)
