Game Transfer Phenomena
Game Transfer Phenomena (GTP) is a modern term created after the thesis written by Angelica Ortiz de Gortari, a student from the Nottingham Trent University. GTP is the set of residual feelings, thoughts and/or images which remain after playing a videogame. Examples, other than the Tetris effect, would be awareness of the absence of a head-up display in the natural human field of view after playing a first-person shooter or the urge to arrange (or command) little objects after playing a strategy game such as Starcraft.

Famous quotes containing the words game, transfer and/or phenomena:
“The most disgusting cad in the world is the man who, on grounds of decorum and morality, avoids the game of love. He is one who puts his own ease and security above the most laudable of philanthropies.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“No sociologist ... should think himself too good, even in his old age, to make tens of thousands of quite trivial computations in his head and perhaps for months at a time. One cannot with impunity try to transfer this task entirely to mechanical assistants if one wishes to figure something, even though the final result is often small indeed.”
—Max Weber (1864–1920)
“What were the phenomena of the world today? If I knew little else, I knew the answer—war, and the preparations for new war.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
