You get hurt and immediately yell out, "I need a medic!"

You tell your friend to aim his car for that line of people, because they'll be worth CRAZY points (old GTA reference)

eh, I hate to admit it, but one time I was really hungry and I started to hear the "Low energy" noise from the Metroid games until I got some food. I honestly thought I was going insane at that point.

I always quote Carmaggedon points.

If I'm in a completely silent environment, I will hear old game boy noises.

I see Unique stunt ramps everywhere.

I wonder how much damage I can cause if I launch into a bus.

You're watching news about Iraq and 'rocket propelled grenade' isn't the first thing that comes to mind when the newscaster mentions to use of RPGs.

When the first thing you think of when you see an ambulance is "I could jack that."

-When you recognize you're on pace to achieving your lifelong goal of 90% completion (on the average) on every game you own.

-You choose one Sobe juice drink over the other simply because the one you chose says 'elixer'

Here's a terrible one, and I hated myself afterwards for thinking it:

When hearing of intense fighting, with casualties, in some battle, I actually thought to myself "Hey, they'll re-spawn next round".

-When role playing games have subconsciously honed your real time ability to budget your finances.

-You compare your latest resume from your two year old resume and you notice the skills you've acquired in between the two years.

-You start guessing upcoming events in a game's level by thinking "what would the game's developers do?" Sure enough you end up avoiding traps and such by this way to thinking.

Actually, you aren't the only one. Yours truly has fallen victim to hearing the Low Energy siren before.

Or you start having a Half-Life flashback EVERY SINGLE TIME they mention RPGs on the news

You end up hospitalized because you really thought the item you just ate granted you temporary invulnerability.

You examine women for jaggies.

You get beaten insensate because you were too distracted trying to produce a fireball by no means other than force of will.

Your gun fails to reload after you pointed it outside your field of view.

When I was younger I played Pokemon Red for way too fucking long. I started to hum the town music.

You are surprised to discover how messy and brutal it is when you dispatch unfriendly animals by jumping on them.

You believe that if you eat enough random debris off the ground you will have completed the level and quickly find yoursef someplace else with more debris on the ground.

One time i was playing starcraft and my mom told me to turn the volume down so i looked at my speakers (the volume nob on it) and i started to move my mouse so the pointer would go over it and i could turn it down. I tried for like 5-10 secs and got a little frustrated when moving the mouse did nothing.... then slapped myself for what i had just tried to do.

Then on a seperate occasion after having just finished a long long session of starcraft, i got up and walked away from the comp when my bro comes in the room and starts telling me some story (no idea what). Being tired as hell, i didnt really wanna listen to him and started looking around his face for a mute button..... seriously, i was so dillusional i was actually looking for a button to shut him up.

So as u can c... i kinda liked playing starcraft. Thank god that games over.

You buy Space Invaders wall stickers so you can live the game and defeat the evil invading alien ships!

You believe if you slay enough relatively harmless beasts such as rats and mosquitoes you willeventually become empowered and able to take on a grizzly bear by yourself.

You actually talk to your girlfriend about that awesome round of Tribes you just played. And think she cares.

But fuck, 8 mid-air disc kills?!? How can you not talk about it.

Part of my job requires me to drive 3 days a week, after playing burnout 3 all last weekend, i found myself twice this week pointing out to myself sweet spots to crash and get the points.
