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

@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.

I heard about that... but I also heard that it's for the Xbox 2 console. And I doubt I'll be seeing THAT in my house any time soon.

Youve played too much when:

You hear a song on the radio, and you envision the stepcharts for DDR lol.

 

[Ceris]

You know you've played too much Metal Gear Solid 2 when you starting humming the opening song whenever you're bored.

That and you know you've played too much Final Fantasy when you've gone and done every single sidequest and maxed every character out at least once in every FF game you play.

 

[Kokopelli]

It'll be a dual release. With Bethesda's good history with the ES games, this should be a nice one.

 

[nicriggz]

That's very good!!

Indeed all too true. That and the kids say "hey, this would make a great DDR song"

I've been at work and have thought to myself, "I can't wait until this shift ends to I can get back to my real life". By real life I mean entering back into the real world of Everquest and into my real job as a shadowknight. The real world was becoming just period of time between EQ sessions.

I'd laugh to myself at my co-workers and other silly humans, because they didn't know who I really was.

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

BWAHAHAHAHA!

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

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I love it!!!!


I don't usually call in sick or take days off to play video games. The only time I can actually remember doing that is for Zelda: A Link to the Past. I was home 'sick' for three days.



Here's another one:

When you buy games that you've heard are good, but don't have time to play them because you're already in the middle of 10 or so other games!

When I bought Final Fanstasy X, I didn't even take the plastic off for around half a year! I owned Metal Gear Solid 2 for a good two years before getting more than 10 minutes into it! Then I finished it in under a week. I've still got a few games on my shelf that have been there for over a year that I haven't so much as gotten past the intro!

 

[equal-minded]

i have at least ten games like that

 

[selune]

You hear someone say a word and you immediately think of the attack that starts with that word i.e. crush (dance) from Legends of Dragoon

 

[Dust and Ashes]

You're watching a movie where a spec ops team is taking out some guys and you absently say "Scratch another one." or "He's down." after each bad guy drops. I still think I could have done it better with my Ghosts.

 

[Novaknight1]

Yeah. I was walking along and out of the corner of my eye, I thought I saw a shield. A sure sign I've been playing Castle of the Winds a bit too long.

The most I've ever gone without playing a game after buying it was two days, and that was recently with GTA: San Andreas... it's been two days since I've played it too, since a friend put me through a guilt trip about playing it

 

[Lunzo]

I quit a job for a game, and played it 18 hours a day, for 3 weeks straight, before I decided it was time to go back to work.

Wow. And I thought getting over 300,000 points on classic gameboy tetris was bad .

 

[Dust and Ashes]

I remember playing Asteroids on my old Atari 2600 with my best friend one Saturday. We tripped the scoreboard 9 times and had max extra lives and finally just got tired of playing and quit.

When you hear about WMD on the news and automatically think "Scud Storm"

When you fondly recall the awesome Zergling/Muta rush at the end of Starship Troopers.

When you watch nervously as an airship passes overhead, just in case it starts bombing you.

...and for the older gamers

When you arrive home late at night fumbling for your house keys, watching out in case a bat flys past and tries to steal them ......
