You know you play too many video games when...

[Torrasque]

I bought a poster today with big bold letters "You know you play too much World of Warcraft when?" and it proceeded to list a bunch of things WoW related that prove you play too much WoW.

Some of them were:
- You try to impress people by saying "Exalted"
- You are pleasantly surprised when an animal with X amount of organs drops X amount of organs, and not Y
- You refer to presents as "loot"
- You inspect people's clothing to see what enchants it has

and so on.

This got me thinking about other games I play.
For example:
"You know you play too much Zelda when?"
- You smash people's pots to search for rupees
- You are very cautious to not anger chickens
- You think you'll be really badass and buff if you go into a coma for 7 years

What kind of "You know you play too much when?" can you think of?

I'm so very good at those.

It is quite challenging, but very fun.
