Fun Stuff: 10 Reasons you know you play way too much...

[Jimm]

Or when you start calling your friends by their screen name instead of their real name...*cough* palum *cough*.

Hahaha I've done this a few times to my roomate Nocturnus. His room is next to mine and I've been known to yell "Hey Noc!" Lol he gets a kick out of it everytime.[/quote]

I'm guilty of the dream thing...

Except I dreamt about a really mundane thing. I was running around, crafting, harvesting, and hitting the auction house. And in my head I kept thinking "Now I need to see if I have an earth crystals" and so forth, I woke up and vows I needed to play just a little less ;

My clearest sign? I immediately checked this list to compare symptoms.

The recent Daylight Saving Time change didn't bother me; it just meant an extra hour I could fish in Port Windurst before work.

 

[masterorion]

when im at work, we use chat rooms to conversate between everyone working, i tend to use the emotes and the auto translate words often

 

[Devi]

when I emote things in chat, I always put "/" in front of it. used to be "::" or "**".

/laugh
What a fool i was...

LOL Sabia!! My roommate does the same thing and he doesn't play...but the way I know I play too much, aside from doing some of the things posted already, is look at my game play time and see I have 172hours of play time and I started the last week of March of this year :shock: :shock: :shock:

:shock: That is a lot. I started in April and I have maybe 57 hours. And my parents think i play too much XD

I'm guilty of using tab while typing to try to bring up autotranslate... But the funny thing is, it does. I use OpenOffice alot, and it pulls up the most likely word being typed when you hit tab, so... It's just like Auto-Translate. ^_^

I also had a dream of a Vermillion Cloak a few weeks ago... >_<

When we first got the game and I was playing CONSTANTLY I used to have dreams in Linkshell form....how freaking (and boring) is that? All I would see is screen and green lettering - maybe Ronf. in the background.

<shutters>

Now I only play a few times a week, but I will occassionally dream in party mode - which is an upgrade, for sure. :twisted:

I dream too, but I cannot disclose what goes on in these dreams.
Some of you have seen a few of my "amateur" screen shots.
I will say it's along those lines...If the screen shot would be the beginning of the line.

 

[MajorHavoc]

I constantly have dreams of this game. Usually, they are like I am really in the game in a party set up.

Also when I walk or drive through the local park, I always think that there is something that may "aggro" out from the bushes. I must say I am much more alert when I am venturing through the park. When I am walking, I think of how nice it would be to have a chocobo.

Another thing I do sometimes is use some game terms in my work emails and such. One thing comes to mind when I emailed a co-worker and told him to /tell me if he has any problems and to /tell someone else what has happened. His reply was "What do you mean by /tell?" I told him it was a typo (yet I did it more than once).

Once I had a dream where I woke up in the morning and logged on...next to the Lord of Onzozo, and was LV75 NIN/WAR 8)

got invited to alliance, killed LOO, and got the Kraken Club, then I warped to jeuno and logged off, at which point I woke up

 

[Swishiee]

I have one.

I saw a license plate today that had a Z and an M next to each other, to make ZM. And "Zilart Mission" popped into my head.

Are you proud?

 

[FlaruWuru]

Here's mine, be prepared for some lame ones.

10. A link doesn't take you to a web page, it brings an extra monster to your camp.
9. As you leave the dinner table for the kitchen, you shout "Zone!"
8. You're asking your wife to check if anything's in your Delivery Box in the morning.
7. You pick up bird feathers, but then realize you don't even know how to make fletching through regular means.
6. At work, you start dodging behind cubicles in the hopes your boss doesn't aggro you on sight.
5. Your stacks of poker chips are no bigger than stacks of 12
4. You start waving and talking to every other fisherman because you're scared they might think you're a bot.
3. You're afraid your car will roll away when you "dismount" it
2. Never before have you ever considered the possibility of a pirate ship attack on a cruise
1. You wonder why animals are running *away* from you in the forest instead of aggroing to sound.

 

[Direwolf]

Reffering to real life money as gil... Embarasing as hell when you do it in public... I just then pretend I am foriegn or some crap.

 

[Skeeza]

When someone tells you something funny and the first thing that comes to mind is LOL

 

[Deathdealer]

Top ten

Ok prob some repeats but here it goes none-the-less:

10. Without getting out of bed, you contimplate what breakfast food you can get so you don't encounter any log-on waiting.

9. You worry that said-named breakfast food will only last 30 mins and grab snacks from the AH (Kitchen).

8. You have to take cleaner to get the oil from your hands off the Mouse/Controler so you don't "Slip" durring an NM hunt.

7. You notice you have phone messages, from yesterday, and you were playing yesterday. Funny thing is you don't remember hearing the 14 calls from work.

6. You cancel a drink fest on a Sat night. Not cause your static goes that night, but becouse you want to know how the conquest results look on sunday morning.

5. You wait for your conquest results or Ballista match results on the scroll bar on FOX news.

4. You really wish that the weather-channel forcasted for the "Real world", Vana' diel.

3. Some one asks you for some money that you owe them, and your response: "Sorry I only got 20 Gil on me"

2. You find yourself wishing that you had a /blist option at work.

1. Your at work/School, and find yourself overdue for a report/paper, and what do you do? The report/Paper? No! You come to QCDN.org, Killingifrit.com, alakazham.com, or best of all, the Vana diel clock webpage to see what your next crafting day is gonna be.

Not the best list but it's all I could think of while I'm at work...not doing my job....looking at posts on QCDN.org.... </sigh>
