Got bored and decided to post this topic to see what folks would come up with.
You know you're addicted to video games when....
-World of Warcraft
...you stand in Wal-mart shouting "Opening Lockboxes!"
...you move your hands in a circular motion in an attempt to cook or summon your car.
...you know the entire history and timeline of the wars on azeroth, but can't remember your wife's/girlfriend's birthday.
...you refuse to go near a cattle farm for fear that Taurens will jump up and attack you.
...you find yourself afraid to turn your back on garden gnomes because they may backstab you.

Guild Wars
...you raise your hand believing you can shadow step to your intended location.

Call of Duty
...you can't help but look in a window and think, "I could snipe his head off with an M9 and he won't even know it."

I could come up with more, but I really want to know what others would say. Enjoy.

Another World of Warcraft one:

...When you refer to your car as an epic mount.

Half life one:

- When you refer to your cats as headcrabs, espically when they jump at you full force

Lol, I think i got 2 more right after,

Real life:

- When you have a girlfriend who games as much as you do

-When you propose to your GF you know in real life in the video game for real life

-When you actually have ANOTHER wedding day inside the game (After your real wedding) so all your friends are there also!

-When you invite your online friends you don't know for your wedding and other activities

-when you speak l337 in real life

(I do the last one, but i heard other people done the above ones also lol)

excuse me, but M9 isn't a sniper. It's the level one pistol.
STEAM NAME: CAP3R Add me Wegamers!

That was my point, you play too much if you can look at someone in real life in a window and believe you can snipe them with anything other than a sniper rifle.

heh, its nuts, there was a noob in CoD4 trying to snipe me with shotgun lol!

May 8, 2008 06:00PM

lol, in COD4 I used anything to kill. but when some moron tried to hold up near a wall opposite of me with some kind of barrier in front of them, I'd just use a rocket launcher.

-You say "lol noob" in real life.

-You survey your surroundings in three different styles of gameplay: FPS (where to take cover), RTS (where to set up units to flank), MMORPG (a good grinding spot).

-You think that when you die you will resurrected or have a reset button or win the game.
