Signs that you have been playing a game way too long.

[Jfswift]

..when you start having nightmares about the main characters..

 

[Arizona Kyle]

You know when your playing Black Ops too long when you pick up a broom and try to shoot your dog that is walking towards you because you think it will bite your face off

 

[Klitch]

Playing SWAT 4 for too long makes me down down stairwells slowly and sideways.

I can one-up you. After a SWAT 4 marathon I went out for dinner the next day and saw a light stick lying on the ground. I instantly thought it was a trap.

I also had a niggling urge to let my friends go through unsecured doors first.

 

[SHIFTYMACO]

you have been playing a game way too long when you start using quotes from the game itself.
And yeah, dreaming about it is another one!

 

[Easton Dark]

you have been playing a game way too long when you start using quotes from the game itself.

Hah! I never played Duke Nukem 3D but I quote it all the time! DISPROVEN!

When you stomach has began eating itself from lack of food. It might hurt in a way that is impossible to describe in words but I'm just so damn close to lvling my Warlock

 

[Tsuki Akechi]

your eyes begin to feel as though they are on fire

 

[Quesa]

I start playing the game in my dreams (typically Civ).

 

[Stammer]

your eyes begin to feel as though they are on fire

"Mr. Fry, what can you tell us about the Nintendians?"
"Well, I spent all of ninth grade studying them... except that day when my eyeballs started to bleed."
haha!

You've been playing Oblivion when you get bored, strip your character naked and take on everyone in the Imperial city with your fists.

I did that two days ago. And my character was an archer, so the fist thing was not working out for me. I always have a breaking point in the game when I just get completely bored all of a sudden (and I was only planning on doing the Dark Brotherhood, some Daedric quests, and Thieves Guild anyway). I make a ridiculous "Last Stand" and try to take out an entire city.

Original Doom when you start seeing lost souls in your periferal vision.

You know you've been playing a game too long when:

1. You play until the sun is coming up, whereupon:
2. You try to sleep but can't because you keep on thinking about the game, and therefore:
3. You decide to screw sleep and get up and start playing again.

True story.

Alternatively, you know you've been playing a game for too long when your friends ask you where you've been recently and you honestly can't give them a straight answer. Happened in university multiple times... when Fallout 3 came out, when Mass Effect 2 was released, and same with Dragon Age: Origins.

 

[VanQ]

I know I've been playing TF2 too long when I took a nap an hour ago and dreamed I was kickin' ass as the Soldier. Yeah, ever since I looted the Half-Zataichi I've been going nuts with it. Rocket, rocket, stab, heal to full health, rocket, rocket, stab, heal to full health, etc.

 

[DaHero]

You've been playing Amnesia too long when you're afraid to turn out the lights...(roughly 10-20 minutes)

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

You know you've been on the forums too long when this is the 25th thread of its kind that you've seen.

HEYOOOOOOOOOO!

Sorry.

 

[figday]

i had a dream...with morrigan.
and i was devastated when i woke up and realized that it was a dream..

 

[EllEzDee]

I remember a few years ago i'd been playing PoP: Warrior Within from start to finish through the week. I'd just reached the last boss fight with the Dahaka and couldn't get past it, so i left it. We have lamp posts decorated in the olde victorian style with the sticks popping out of the sides, and i honestly considered swinging on them before i realised what i was doing.

I was playing Fallout New Vegas and my friends called me up on skype as a group to ask me if I was okay, because I hadn't spoken to any of them in days. lol they better expect that at Skyrim too
