Default Top Ten: Over Gaming!

TOP TEN SIGNS YOU PLAY WAYYYYYYYYY TOO MANY COMPUTER GAMES!!!

1. As you walk past a nice looking car in a parking lot, you think if you boosted it, you'd be able to outrun the police. At least long enough for you to get to the spray shop so you can get back to taking missions for the Don!

2. After playing a particularly gripping game, you wander around looking for zombies, nazis, and/or gamma people. You also forget you're a wuss compared to your character, and accidently hurt yourself in the process (especially in the jumping department)...

3. When you're about to do something dangerous, you want to "Save" first.

4. You're pissed off the local pawn-shop doesn't have a BFG-5000 Phase Plasma Rifles.

5. You drive like you're on a time-limit.

6. When you wake up in the morning, your first thought is to check to make sure the alien menace hasn't tried to take your fortified position (AKA: Apartment) in the night.

7. Your "Sims" Life is a helluva lot better than your actual life.

8. You tend to jog everywhere, and look for hidden items along the way.

9. You use a phrases from games as philosophies for life

(Like say for example... I always say "Pain is for the WEAK!" when I hurt myself... which came from "Shadow Warrior")

10. You live in suburbia, you have a boring job and life... but you still collect weapons, armor, and dream of the day where you can grab a broadsword and go fight the forces of evil!

11. When you screw up, you keep hoping for a way to reload the level so you can try again.

When you drive more than 20 minutes, you keep expecting to "zone"

When you suddenly come to the scary realization that a few bullets won't just slow you down.

When you constantly check for the best sniping nest.

When someone spills a drink on you you shout "CHECK YOUR FIRE" and spill a little bit of yours on them in return.

When you accidently sign a cheque "John Mullins"

Oh dear....gotta get out more....must stay conscious...

When you take the bumper sticker tagline "Drive it like you stole it" as your personal mantra

Oh, I like "Come get some" ala Duke3D as my video game saying I've used the most in reality

When you refer to reallife events by game scene titles/analogies.

(("This is just like the time that Duke Nukem......." or "Woah! anyone getting flashbacks to that scene in NWN?" ))

When walking in an exposed area, one finds oneself jumping eratically.
