You know you've been playing ... too long when ...

[w-Jinksy]

when walking along you casually look at your arm expecting there to be a pip-boy attached so you can see where your going, i've done this i stood there dumbfounded for at least 15 seconds before realizing i don't have a pipboy.

Lol a lot of this stuff is pretty severe, the VERY worst thing that ever happened was that I was out shopping with my mum and sister and we'd been in Meadowhall (British shopping mall, fairly big) for like 6, 7 hours and we were almost leaving but they decided to look at EVEN MORE CLOTHES, so while they were looking at clothes, I stared off into the distance for a bit and looked back at them and for a fraction of a second, before I blinked, I swore I could see WoW's HUD in my vision, complete with portraits and health bars and shit.

When you're on a weekend binge of RPGs, emerge from the man-cave and all you can muster up for conversation is...

"Gau? Gau Gau! GAUGAUGAUGAUGAUGAUGAUGAUGAUGAUGAUGAUGAUGAUGAUGAUGAU!!!! .......Shiny!"

And keep saying "thou" a bunch of times.

The only funny one is Mass effect 2 for me. I ended up adapting a Shepard voice in real life for a while. That's normal? Oh and I remember being spoken too and remaining silent, waiting for the conversation choices to come up... They never did sadly.

And that concludes the only time I will let myself play a game for that long xD;

The same thing happened to me and also with Garrus, Joker and Thane. It is like I am trying to replicate them in real life xD

When playing the original Disgaea, fighting Prinny Baal when he was at level 9999.

I was able to steal his armor, surround him with 3 level 9999 characters, boost them, and do 10 million damage in only ONE TURN. Yeah.

after playing WoW for long time my friend said "hey,can you help me a sec?" and i replied "how many of what do you need killed" he then said "um.. its ok i can do it on my own" he then walked away

I was once convinced that bottle caps are a legitimate form of currency.

 

[Odbarc]

I know I've been gaming too long when I have a dream of the game I've been playing all day.

I sometimes have these Starcraft 2 dreams where I'm playing as my usual Zerg, but then I destroy some small Terran army only to have a bigger army magically appear from the shroud and outnumber me. And I'm constantly fighting this uphill battle regardless of how well I seem to play in this dream.

When you close your eyes you can still see Storm electrocuting the poop out of people.

 

[RMX]

Had to make an account to address this...

I know I played too much GTA San Andreas when two things happened ..1. I walked outside and would look up in the sky every minute or so to look out for falling airplanes and 2. waiting for someone who was too slow in a drive thru and thinking to myself...I should throw him out of his car to speed things up lol

oh and I also got those "syndromes" from Oblivion and Fallout with collecting flowers and lockpicking

When I tried to go to sleep last week I literally saw images of Monday Night Combat flash through my head.

One time after binging on CoD, I walked out of my writing seminar class and saw a plane flying at the PERFECT height and orientation relative to me to look EXACTLY like a spyplane. My first thought was "Holy shit a spy plane" and something about using an RPG (It was pure reflex, like a knee jerk reaction) my second thought was "holy shit I'm fucked in the head"

When you can hear the pokemon walking round music when your just trekking in a field. Oh and the other day my friend asked me if I could help him and I told him it was cost him a lot of caps.

 

[PureChaos]

in the MMO i play, rare weapons/armour/items etc appear as red boxes. when i wasn't playing the game, if i saw something red i thought 'oooh, red box, wonder what it is'

 

[8bitmaster]

I hear sc2 sounds in my head when i'm not playing. I still don't think i've been playing too much.

 

[minispike47]

When I was walking to a lesson with my hood up and I saw I plane and thought to myself 'Its ok, i've got ghost pro'

 

[wammnebu]

you look for the conversation wheel when talking to friends

you start acting like a bioware npc
