You know you're a gamer if...

[sidhe3141]

You have ever forgotten your house key but remembered your dice bag.
When you weren't planning to play any games.
You have ever seen the sunrise while reading your new rulebook.
The above has happened more than once.
On a school night.
You have more than two video game songs on your mp3 player.
One of those songs first appeared in a game.
You are majoring in games.
You have more than five gamer comics in your bookmarks.
Not counting manga based on games.
You have complained about how your computer's Mahjonng game isn't Mahjonng.
You have invented more than one game involving a tarot deck.
You know off the top of your head the differences between AR, cold sim, and hot sim.
Despite never having played a hacker character.
You see someone playing a blood-elf paladin on WoW, and your first thought is "blackguard is the most broken prestige class ever".
And your second is "maybe that was a paladin of slaughter".

You know you're a gamer if you've stopped watching TV because there are better things you could be wasting your time on that also has a screen

I haven't watched mainstream television outside of the occasional NBA game with the family in well over three years.

I gave up on TV in 2004.

Okey, here's one from another post I made.


You might be a gamer if gradeschoolers are having more sex than you.

You know more about the geography of Liberty City than your hometown.

You know your a gamer when you think when you suffer a fall from 3 feet your gonna die
Also if when your say searching your bags that all time will stop even if you eat a chocolate bar or somefing

You know you're a gamer if you forgot to feed the baby while playing WoW and now it's dead.

When you dream about meeting characters in games, fighting characters from games, being IN the game, or other activities...

Curse you brain! Ophelia and I were JUST about to make out after slaughtering the Tainted Coil...and it was her Drowned version too, dammit!

When you try to press x to pick up something. It didn't work...

for me to pick up it is E
or (after playing ScribbleNaughts) mentally writing something and then waiting for it to appear

 

[paddyfro]

you say 'lol' and 'rofl' in real life

you know you're a gamer when you completely zone out at school in class and start thinking about what you're going to do in the game you're playing when you get home.

 

[SeanTheSheep]

If you can say your science teacher looks like "Soap Mactavish and Gordon Freeman's love child!"
no one else knows what the hell I'm on about when I say that, they just say he looks like a short bloke with a goatee and a scottish accent.

An old-ish biology teacher at my school (Maybe 55-ish, I'm not sure) had a red whiteboard pen explode on his white shirt pocket in a lesson.

I swear to the whole glory of the dark ones Shaun's dad never died, he just went to teach biology.

OT: You know you're a gamer if you still hear the tetris music from time to time.
[sub]Oh yeah, I'm old skool, so old skool, that when I was in the old skool, we spelled it with a k, and that was kool, not pathetic like it really is.[/sub]

The sun burns your eyes out of their sockets

You can compute WoW currency better than dollars...

When someone turns on the lights in a room and you cringe, shielding your eyes. Even if slightly.

This is something my friends and i noticed in college, after a presentation when the lights were turned back on all the gamers would cringe at the change in light and everyone else would be fine.

Edit: Thought of a couple more...

When you call 'Hacks' when something happens in real life that you thought either extremely unlikely or impossible.

When you call 'lag' when something takes too long, such as a queue, even if you only think it.

 

[Composer]

When you freak out upon entering a room with flickering lights.

i thought everyone did that....
OT: when u say lol instead of actually laughing

 

[Tartarga]

Your ringtone is that of the codec from Metal Gear Solid.
