I do this with brooms/rakes and those little collapsible umbrellas.

OT: When you wonder what a weapon's damage rating is.

When you look for the best way to scale a building.
This ^ I actually was on the phone to my girlfriend a few days after getting AC2 and in my tired state I ended up explaining how I had to climb some buildings in our town so I'd set myself up for a perfect air assassination then sneak past the other guards perfectly... She thought I was an idiot...

My other one was playing way too much gears and I went to go to the bathroom late at night and when I walked into the dark I freaked out and bailed back into the light... Before reassuring myself I was inside so I was safe

I'm in constant consideration of the best place to be and the best weapons in case a sudden zombie outbreak occurs. Laugh at me now, but someday it will be useful. Asides from making me jaded as hell in the face of something that's actually happening.

When you use Tetris skills to fit everything into your freezer even though your brother claims it's full.
When ever your hands are empty and idle they look like they're holding a controller.

I have a tendency to get "in character" when I play Halo: Reach matchmaking or Horde ode in Gears of War 2.

In Halo, I shout at the enemy, which is no big deal. It's when I do things like talk to dead players that scare me. I started talking like Captain Mal after one kill: "Give me that! Didn't your momma ever teach you how to use a gorram shotgun?"

I taunt and shout at the AI in Gears 2. Whenever I go in for a chainsaw kill, I have a tendency to give a war cry until the chainsaw has exited my target's body. I down an enemy and I start catching myself talking like a complete sadist. I walk over to a downed Locust and go "Hey, look everyone! I found a baby seal!" Then I perform the sniper rifle execution and club its ass. Because of the way I act in Gears 2, whenever I'm not playing games and I say something threatening it's usually "I'm going to club your ass like a baby seal!"

When every building with scaffolding makes you think you might just be Ezio Auditore.

When I'm riding the Bus to school, see the First Aid box above the driver's seat, and think to myself "Hm, I can raid that for Stimpacks. Wait shit, I'm not playing Fallout 3..."

When you want to put portals everywhere.
When you pick up a knife and think "my stance would be this, my attack would be this".
When you pick up any form of weapon-esque thing and think "my stance would be this, my attack would be this".
When you stick your hand out whilst going through an automatic door, as if you've opened it.
When you get depressed because none of it is real and it never will be.

Nerd and proud, boys!
One more thing to add along the lines of weapon stance: I practiced drawing my airsoft guns in the mirror and I realized that I stand like Chris Redfield when I draw. I've also sat and practiced speed reloading. 90% of the time I drop the second magazine.

Whenever anyone says "I gotta run to X" the first thing out of my mouth is "Do you have Marathon and Lightweight active?"

When I began looking at the items in my house and trying to work out how much I could carry before I became encumbered.
Related to this, when in Fallout 3 I started working out valuable items based on a weight/worth ratio rather than just worth.

When the only people who even understand what your saying, never mind might be slightly interested are on a gaming website.

I was with my g/f's family the other day at a birthday event. We were watching the Stanley Cup Final (go Kaberle!) and the L.A. Noire ad came on. So i said (too loudly) "Oh, cool!" Because i had never seen the tv ad. So everyone looked at me strange and i had to say something. It went kind of like "They have this new facial mocap technology. Did you see their faces? it's really realistic... i wanna play it... never been done... mumble mumble, yeah i have to go to the bathroom." No one cares. I am freak.

When you finish masturbating you quote Xan from UT99 saying the likes of "Re-routing critical systems", "Run Human", "My House" and "I am the Alpha and the Omega".

I could never understand it myself, luckily it no longer happens.

You stay in doors all the time, have no friends except the ones you've made online and you're unemployed.

Oh wait you want a joke, um, when you look for a health pack after an industrial accident.

I have dreamt about games on a number of occasions

When writing an english essay in class (using a pen), I made a mistake and reached for ctrl Z. Another time I didn't know how to spell a word, so I just wrote it, then waited about 2-3 seconds for a red squiggly line to appear before realising that there's no spellcheck on paper.

At my friends birthday party, when they brought out the cake, I gasped. When my friend asked why, I said : "Cause there really is cake! its not a lie!". Boy was she confused.

I hum the MGS2 theme song whenever I see a cardboard box

(Another MGS reference) I once picked up the phone and answered : "Colonal"
