No funny IC-to-OoC bleeding on my part yet, but there was this once IG-to-IRL incident with SW:TOR (technically off-topic, I know ; ; )...
My friend and I bumrushed our way, from June 2013 to December 2014, into end-game PvE raiding on the Pot5 server. We decided to help out a guildmate one night with the Macrobinoculars quest line. Unlike XIV's piss-poor Sightseeing, Macrobinoculars involved gaining access to a lot of neat, hidden areas designed and put aside specifically for this quest line. It was a lot of fun.
UNFORTUNATELY, one particular quest in the chain (Dark Design) involved traveling to Nar Shaddaa and then jumping from moving speeder (read: flying car) to moving speeder in order to reach a rather large spaceship. Platforming in a MMORPG.
We died so many times. We laughed. We tried cheating our way across via various movement skills. We died some more. Our sides, etc. My friend just about lost it, though. It was the most aggravating and traumatizing experience he's ever had to deal with in a video game.
I affectionately refer to it as, "doing the Mario". It serves as a euphemism for, "you keep f#&%ing up." It occasionally slips into conversations with folks that weren't even there. They give me weird looks.
My friend just gives me tirades.
