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

[Veiled Viper]

"Your spouse/SO knows: who the main characters of the game are, weapon strengths and weaknesses, unit strengths and weaknesses, unit names, jargon used in the game, etc. Surprisingly, they have never played the game in their life."


Been there!

You're grateful that the bugs you see in your house aren't as tall as you are because you don't have a crossbow (Or other weapon of choice) to deal with them. And thank goodness they aren't lightning enchanted in real life!

 

[OhhJim]

You know you have played too many games when...

• You have built a level based on floorplans of your work place.

This was true when Doom first came out, and remains true. I made a texture of our company logo, and put it right behind the receptionist's desk, just like in real life! My coworkers were all impressed, before they fired me.

I would have actually done that, but most of my places of employment have been too large to effectly build a map out of it. Since I am particular about attention to detail, it would be a hog of a map even with the optimizing.

I got a similar one to Skys. I play ALOT of Socom II, so whenever i'm somewhere i'm always looking for Snipers from a far distance with ghillie uniforms on, and always listening for footsteps on different types of terrain. LOL.

You know you've been Playing too much Halo when

You think to yourself "i bet i could get a headshot on that guy"
You jump when you run to make yourself go faster
You refuse to go to your local library without shotgun in hand.
You wonder if someone is inrange of your sniper
You suddenly stop b/c you think you saw something move on your motion radar
You sneak up on your friends and attempt to pistol whip them
You wonder where the enemies flag is
YouTry to hold back to see the score of a football game
You make a throwing action with your arm directed at your friend, then yell 'haha, i stuck you!!'
The letters of the buttons are engraved in your hands.
You tell your friend to get in the gunner seat of your SUV
You're touring the grand canyon and you wonder if you can get to the top of the level
You run into a wall thinking its a teleporter

I'm tired. I came up with these myself, that's maybe why they're bad

 

[smily393]

lololol

 

[selune]

Those are great!

 

[Mobius 1]

Maybe you need a little rest after playing any game.

 

[Sky~Prince]

How about NFS underground 2

 

[skysthelimit]

[*]You have taken a day off from work to buy a new release and play it uninterrupted.
[/list]

It's official.....i've played too many video games

 

[lightningprophetess]

You sneak up on your friends and attempt to pistol whip them
P

Now that is funny. Another to add to the Halo ones...

You are convinced that your roommate is a covenant fighter.
You make an aluminum foil replica of your armor in the game and go to class with it on with a (fake) shotgun.

Ok, would think of more but need sleep...must get sleep...

 

[Dust and Ashes]

Something drops from a tree and hits the ground near you (acorn, pinecone, etc.) and you yell "Grenade!" and dive for cover.

 

[Kokopelli]

You refer to consumables, raw materials, etc in units. e.g. "I put a unit of crackers in your sack for lunch today." or, "I have to buy 10 units of material to sew this quilt for the bazaar. They need 100 units of quilts."

 

[Redguard]

I've rubbed the skin off my thumb before playing Super Mario Brothers endlessly

DITTO!

Those old-school Nintendo controllers really did a number on your hands.

 

[Redguard]

Your wife dresses up like a "Breton" or a "High Elf" with the hopes that you'll actually follow her into the bedroom.

 

[Kokopelli]

Your wife dresses up like a "Breton" or a "High Elf" with the hopes that you'll actually follow her into the bedroom.

You add to that by saying, "Everywhere you go, everyone gives you a dirty look and says, 'go away outlander!' "

 

[Redguard]

LOL

Oh... and when I'm really upset at my co-workers, I call them N-wahs.

 

[wandering_paladin]

You know you've played to much command and conquer generals when:

You go paintballing and as you're loading your hopper, you shout "Bullets for everyone!!"

You greet your friends with "Black napalm upgrade is complete general!"

You get stressed out on a test and mutter "I didn't sign up for this..."

@Redguard

This is going off topic, but if haven't already, I highly recommend paying the gamespot.com site a visit. They have some screenies for Elder Scrolls IV.
