You know you play too many video games when you decide how much sleep you need based on how much you plan on playing

"I should get 7 hours of sleep tonight"
turns into
"I'll be fine on 5 hours of sleep"
turns into
"I can be late for my class tomorrow with 4 hours of sleep"

You know you've played too much Final Fantasy X-2 when you try an argue with other Final Fantasy fans, trying to convince them that X-2 is actually a good FF game, and not a dress up game.

You know you play too much <insert game #1 here> when you replace the music of <insert game #2 here> with the music of <insert game #1 here>

Killing Grunts in firefight to Pokemon Soul-Silver battle music = fitting, and win.
Playing Dead Space to Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland music = not so fitting, but still win.

When you wonder how long it'll be untill you develop a strange power / are affected by a tragedy / are sucked into a little known world, so you can start life for real.

Come on...

Fucking years of tutorial, I swear the evil lords can come out of hiding now...
