Character Emotions

Some time back Gamer the Podcasting had a show where they talked about character emotions. I would forward you to the show but I am not entirely sure which one it was, but it was quite intersting, if anyone know please tell me. Up untill a few days ago I had not been able to feel real character emotion, it had always been "Hmm, I think my character would feel this now..." rather than real emotion. Yesterday that changed. Claire, Siobahn and I was having a Shadowrun AIM game where Silver, my character, got yelled at for some stuff, loads of emotional issues and shit. At one point I realised that I was sitting there with tears in my eyes, and it was not me crying, it was Silver. This sounds weird, doesn't it? But this fictional character was feeling this real emotion. It felt odd..
