When you can quote most lines from a friggin' long RPG like FFVII, and when you start applying its messages to real life. And thinking of doing nothing else when you're bored.

When you realize real life sucks and you'd rather play more videogames.

What? I'm a cynic.

Should this be in Forum Games?

OT: ...when you start spychecking people with a homemade flamethrower.
...when you're constantly checking your surroundings for spies.
...when you realize that you can't triple jump to reach high ledges.

When your social life is non-existent, your waistline is too existent and the lack of meaningful human contact has driven you deep into depression and self-hatred.

I honestly think with portals; everywhere I go I'm thinking 'That's a portal-able surface!' It's a serious problem.

Also, You know you play video games too much when you post on The Escapist, which is more or less my conceptualization of Nerd Mecca.

You know you play video games too much:
- when you finish a banana and you have a powerful urge to drop it in the highway and make someone spin out
- when angry at someone, you call them a "n00b" with actual, visceral emotion.
- conversely, when happy with someone's performance, you call them "1337".
- When you're surprised that townspeople have more than 1-2 lines of dialog.
- When meeting up with friends, you loudly declare "[FRIENDS NAME] Has joined the party!"
- When you think the noble class of the Persian empire was absurdly acrobatic.
- When you can discuss weaponry with a former military Colonel based solely your experiences with first person shooters
- When you once beat a Korean at Starcraft.
- when, after accomplishing a goal, you lift both hands up and down repeatedly and hum the Final Fantasy fanfare.
- when you mention your internet gaming friends to your real life friends.
- when you have internet gaming friends.
- wait a second, you have real friends? Never mind, you're doing just fine.

heh these are funny.

After playing with a gba emulator and don't go away from the computer I'm constantly try to speedrun the internet.

If I play Oblivion too much I start seeing the little compass on the botom of the screen and trying to loot houses thinking 'as long as I'm stealthed i can get away with it'.

And yes, I've tried to quicksave real life and search for life's mini-maps.

When you plot out your fourth Fallout 3 playthrough making prior note of every location to visit and quest you need to do to find every skill book and max all your skills to 100.

You visit Venice for the first time and know your way around better than your GF who has been there before.

This actually happened.

You can't open your eyes in sunlight. I've had this happen many times.

You draw/write game references in your testpaper. And you get extra point from them.

After you've been playing Heavy Rain you see controller commands in your dream.
Also, after I played the first Fable, my dreams had loading screens with a map of the next area.

You know you've played too much when you dream you can see health bars and a minimap.
Even worse when you see them while awake.
And when you strategize how to take down every person, animal, car, or building you see with whatever "weapons" you might have available.

When you're just about to wake up in the morning and you hear the words "Rise annnnnd shine, Missster Freeman. Risssse and sssshine! And then you do.

When you save up one hundred pennies so you can get a 1up.
