A way you know you have played a game too long?

[Ben Jamin]

When after playing guitar hero 3 for a ridiculous amount of time you just start falling asleep and when you close your eyes you see the thing where the notes show up

Thats one of the reasons i have insomnia

When I always shut the door behind me, even when people are going through them, after many left 4 dead sessions.

Yeah i always end up going through a door closing and locking it behind me and then getting yelled at by those on the other side

After a weekend of playing WoW on and off, I was following my brother in my car to some resteraunt for dinner.

In my head I typed '/follow'

Sadly it didn't work.

This isn't a sign that I've played the game too much so much as an awesome coincidence. I went on a Half-Life 2 marathon, playing it, Episode 1, and Episode 2 all within a week. I went to the airport a few days later and the first thing I noticed as I walked in was a black-haired older man in a blue suit, holding a briefcase, standing on the far end of the terminal. He then turned and walked behind a crowd of people and I never saw him again. It's one of the coolest gaming-related things I've ever experienced; the resemblance was ridiculous, at least from where I was standing.

That's the kind of thing that stays with you. After all the L4D I've played, if I hear one girl crying even remotely similar to the Witch, my next memory will probably be finding myself 10 miles from there.

Gears of War 2.
Could active ReLoad without looking and started getting shellshock from lancer rounds.
seriously, I was so sick of hearing a lancer fire i had to mute my TV

And Mirrors Edge...
I didnt play it too much, but after a few hours i wanted to vault of anything red

I frequently think about saving my game in real life.

I also occasionally get the urge to floor it in my car after playing Burnout Paradise.

Me and a friend of mine were standing on a street corner by a crossroads, on the way back from a lecture, talking. A policeman or security officer, not sure which, on a motorbike with his helmet open pulled up at the traffic lights a short distance away. His communication device (walkie talkie or similar, I assume) emitted a mid-pitch bleep and then an indistinct, growly voice. I said "Ye gods, it's the Combine!" He said "I know it's probably not that good to think 'the security guy sounds like the Combine' before 'the Combine sound like security guys', but that's the first thing I thought of too..."

(It did sound EXACTLY like them.)

Tony Hawks 2, played for like 6 hours went outside imagined myself skating along doing tricks off houses, grinding along benchs and power lines then dropping into a manual and stopping right infront of the bakery for a nice well deserved steak, cheese and bacon pie with chocolate milk and jam n cream roll. Sadly when i snapped back too reality i was still at home

also i have looked for conversation options a few times after playing fallout 3 too long

 

[Lexodus]

Here's a hint-
Air guitar is now 'air guitar hero'.
And also I played that one time until I had muscle spasms in my hand and couldn't stop twitching for two days.

 

[Meado]

TAAANK!!!
Sorry, I have to yell that every five minutes.

YOu only played too long when it is no longer fun. I have been playing Morrowind since it came out ( a few months after actually, learned of it via Toonami review ) and I still enjoy it. So until its not fun, I dont tihnk i have played it too long.
