You've played too many video games when...

[Dust and Ashes]

...you get off work a bit early in the AM and walk outside, look up at the beautiful crescent moon with Venus shining brightly above it and some wispy clouds scudding by and think, "Wow, I need to get a screenshot of this."

 

[Kokopelli]

When you are a zombie at work because the "just want to finish this turn" at 2300 turned into a "wow, look what I have conquered" at 0200.

For personal achievements on an application, you list things like, "Conquered the world in X turns with X money." Or something along the lines of, "maintained the 'richest player' status throughout the duration of the game.

You spend your time at work mentally planning your next moves to expand your Roman empire (Rome: Total War) for the nightly "gaming session."

 

[selune]

don't know if it's been mentioned but, you hook up the tape player to the ps2 record the music from the game for listening enjoyment in the car.

After playing Splinter Cell for too long, my vision became blurry and I bumped my head while walking.

I went to the medicine cabinet to get a MedKit. I administered it to myself and said,

"OOOOoooohhhh!!!"

I then gave myself another dose and said,

"Aaaaaahhhhh!!!"

 

[Kokopelli]

Everytime you jump, regardless of the height or distance, you make a grunting noise.

 

[Redguard]

Whenever I'm "focusing", everything and everyone around me suddenly slows down.

 

[Kokopelli]

You turn on the TV watch President Bush give a message to the Iraqi people, but are suprised when he didn't say, "To the people of Iraq - all your base are now belong to us."

 

[selune]

When, "Someone set up us the bomb" makes some sense to you

 

[Level_Seven_Paladin]

I got one:

When you open the door, walk into the next room and wait for the "loading...." screen

 

[selune]

I got one:

And hope the boss guy doesn't off you in that time...

 

[Dust and Ashes]

You work all night, come home the next morning and log into your brand new World of Warcraft beta account and play all day then go into work again never having slept.

 

[Level_Seven_Paladin]

When you knock somebody over they dissapear

BTW I am no longer Bigcontry

 

[Kokopelli]

You know the origins of the word "pwned."

You camped out in front of your local game store to pick up your pre-ordered copy of Halo2.

You laugh wickedly as your local news station highlights the expectant Halo2 players, because you paid the postage to for one of Santa's helpers deliver to you that day.

You can relate to the characters of the comic, CTRL+ALT+DEL.

Though you may legally be an adult, walking into a place like EB turns you into a kid walking into a toystore at Christmas.

You spouse would let you hit a strip joint before letting you into a place like Electronics Boutique of CompUSA alone.

 

[The-Doctor]

You find seven threads just on Halo 2!!!!!!

[Veiled Viper]

I got one:

Gotta be a PS2er!

 

[jeffnevins]

For the fighting game people (there must be at least one)

You slightly get the shakes when approaching an arcade w/good SF competition.

You spent $300 to travel to a Street Fighter tournament across the country.

When you're active- you consider it rushdown.

When you stay at home- you consider it- turtling.

Shinku Tatsumaki Sempukyaku rolls off your tongue easily.

You post at Shoryuken, and know what A3, 3S, CVS2, CFJ, MVC2, etc. are.

Or "I have many bullets to spare!"

Once I was walking bye my sister room after a long splinter cell sesion and she turned up the music. so i duck next to the wall and she didnt even notice i was there.

 

[ChrisLockhart]

I don't know if this will make sense to anybody here but me.. but after a long session of playing angband (a roguelike).. I saw one of my son's plastic letters in the sink.. it was an S, and I thought.. what is that spider doing in the sink?
