Hello, my name is Robin, and I'm an RPG gamer

[Robin_Lyon]

So I'm an RPG gamer, and from time to time I find myself strolling through the real world thinking,

"What Would Link Do?"

I see a box, a pot, a vase, a kitchen draw, a laundry dryer, a barrel or a small bush and I ponder, "...there could money in that." I walk around the supermarket, continuous upgrading my items; trading the smaller bottle of milk I previously put in my trolley for the bigger one I've just seen on the shelf.

And I'm a fanatical horde. I see a rock on the ground and pick it up and say to myself, "I know it looks like junk NOW, but it could come in handy later.." or a paintbrush or a lemon, and carry them around in my bag.. just in case.


.. Am I alone?

Your in a forum filled with gamers.

I'm still testing out my theory of killing turtles by jumping on their heads.

Green shell worked, still have to find a red one.

I am still just walking into houses during the day and checking drawers and cabinets for gil or rupees.

Zelda games are no RPG's! I WILL DESTROY YOU.

Just kidding.

OT: If I play the Sims too much I get really impatient with how long it takes to do everyday things. I wish I could wash the bathtub in 10 seconds.

Sometimes after playing Morrowind for hours on end, I'll get off and still be thinking like my character for a while. For example, I imagined one Imperial character I played as being incredibly racist against the Dunmer, and, after playing, I couldn't find something and thought "some damn dunmer probably stole it" for a second, before laughing loudly at the sheer immersion of that game to be able to draw me in and keep me there.

.. Am I alone?

I'm gonna say yes.

Although I looked at a coin laundry the other day, and thought:

Spoiler

I'm glad I have a washer and dryer in the basement, now, so I don't have to go to one of those anymore.

But I'm not sure if that counts.

After playing too many FPS' I see cover and ambush opportunities everywhere.

 

[ultrachicken]

I've never done that. And the mental image of Link running around breaking pots in a market while the police chase him is hilarious.

I've caught myself looking at flowers and wondering what their alchemical properties might be after playing too much Oblivion.

After playing too many FPS' I see cover and ambush opportunities everywhere.

Hahah yeah, after playing Guild Wars a liiiittle too much I start to see all the people in my life with health bars above their heads.

Sometimes when i play the game whole day, in sleep i still play it, in my mind.

Also, i sometimes try to pick up something, with my mind. Maybe some day it will work?

 

[daftalchemist]

I'll often ask myself "what would I do if a zombie came at me right now?" and tried to figure out the situation in my mind. My boyfriend and I can also get into hour long conversations about zombie apocalypse and the best plan of action for it.

EDIT: Sorry double post.

Um... Legend of Zelda is not an RPG.

OT: Yes, quite often. The most memorable was after playing Splinter Cell for the first time, every time I was out at night I would see the lamps and thing to myself, "I have to shoot that out!" Then I realized there was no need for stealth (and I didn't have a gun anyway).
