Boy I recognized #3 instantly but I can't think of exact examples of games that I've played where that is the case. Probably some sort of third person shooter game where simultaneously depressing the up and right arrow key gets my character moving faster than the default forward speed. Good one Panzer.
I've used this before but: When you open your door and walk outside, you spin around once or twice to let the world load so your performance improves.
When you imagine what kind of trade you would like to have in a fantasy rpg world.
When you have a bizarre dream of Red Dead Redemption II, which you haven't played for a month, and in the dream you are griping because you can tell that Rockstar disabled ambient occlusion.
When more often than not, after watching a movie, you have a sense or thought of, "Now what game can I play to satisfy the need to play out what I just saw". And if its a good day, you succeeded at being a fighter pilot, a knight, a monster slayer, a sub captain, a mafia gangster, a SWAT member, an adventurer, a builder of empires, a slayer of aliens, a post apocalyptic hero, a destroyer of Nazi occult weapons, an ancient Greek hero, a light saber wielding Jedi, a stealthy thief, an unexpected hero of Middle Earth, an augmented dsytopian antihero, a raider of tombs, an investigator of the supernatural, a WW2 commando and Batman!
