I'm not really a gamer, but I experienced something maybe similar with the ipad. When I first got one, of course, I was reading news and swiping away and it was completely natural.

Then I'd go to a restaurant and when reading the menu, I'd start swiping at the paper or vinyl menus like it was a tablet. It's a curious phenomena to have that brand new tablet gesture overtake decades of behaviors and perceptions with real paper.

Kudos to Apple, I guess.

My wife and I just completed a jigsaw puzzle. Last night, I caught her trying to use her forefinger and thumb to zoom in to the picture on the box.
Haha, Yup, I've done exactly that. If the menu was dark, I'd try to pinch zoom in. I briefly felt like a baby trying to figure out the world again.
