I've never had hallucinations, but I have sometimes wished I could press escape and skip the dialog when speaking with some people.

I've probably averaged 6-7 hours of gaming a day for the past five years, and I don't even get hallucinations when I smoke moldy weed. I'm missing out.
"You need a girl Mate."
I knew someone who saw hallucinations after multiple days of no sleep. Know how many videos games they played? Zero.
Remember the first time you played Tetris? And then you went to bed, and you closed your eyes, and you saw little tetris pieces falling into place in your mind? Kind of how a bad tune gets stuck in your head?
They are probably talking about that - and choosing their words poorly. "hallucinations" ... Umm ok, I guess.
There are too many political activists masquerading as scientists nowadays.
I can honestly say I've experience something similar to what they report, I cannot deny it happened.
I had finished spending a couple of hours blowing through stop lights in Test Drive Unlimited and then headed off for work. I actually blew through a red light getting onto the highway without a second thought. As I left the onramp onto the highway, I realized in horror that I didn't even realize I had done it!
I'm not even a gamer and I've had this happen. I can't count the number of times I've left work after working in Photoshop, and my brain complains about the clouds not looking right, or trees being too two-dimensional.
It seems like most people haven't experienced this, but I have.
If I spend more than 6 hours non-stop playing the same game (especially if I have been doing it for days), I will start to see distinctive elements from that game whenever my eyes are closed...
The article was talking about seeing things with their eyes open.
After epic gaming sessions, as I mentioned previous. I have a hard time sleeping, because pretty much as soon as a I close my eyes, I am visualizing being back in the game. But I wouldn't call that hallucinating.
When you start seeing red nameplates over strangers, that's when you should worry.
Flash! Global Warming aka Global Cooling aka Climate Change aka Whatever-you-want-it-to-be-this-month has now been surpassed by Global Stupidity as the world's number one crisis in the 21st century. However, this may be ameliorated somewhat by a movement world-wide to return to our more basic roots, such as the worship of Wood Fairies and Sprites while cavorting with Satyrs & Nymphs to the lascivious beat of the Pipes of Pan, and other such orgiastic fare. Yes, soon we'll all be hallucinating like madmen (and women) because nothing else is possible once science and reason have been abandoned and sky begins to fall!
