You know you play too many video games when....
 
At night I wanna shoot out the lights nearby (too much splinter cell)
I feel like kicking open doors I come to (too much resident evil)
I wanna drift around every corner I make (too much GT4)
I have nightmares/dreams about games (every one)
I frequent message boards more than watch TV


...continue on...

When a girl asks you to have sex, you look for the nearest "A" button
When you need a quick few bucks, you kill a hooker and have an affinity to green.

I trap small animals within red and white capsules and then pit them against each other in a fight to the death...well not anymore .

I think about blue-sparking when I drive...much to the horror of my passagers. (too much mario kart:dd)
I think about walking around in a chozo suit. (too much metroid prime)
Type everything very quickly at work with just my right hand. (too much tontie)
I also frequent message boards more than watch TV.

I like the blue spark one. :D

In response to the topic:

-In laser tag and paintball you can't move around without moving like Solid Snake, holding your gun down.

-When you sing the Katamari Damacy theme song for your final project, and get a standing ovation when it is shown to your class.

-Every wall in your room is filled with Game posters. Seriously, I'm close to forgetting the paint colour.

-Your collection is as big as mine. :(

-Your ideal date was playing Goldeneye 64. ^__^

When you do something wrong you think "When was the last time I saved?"
When you see a mess on the ground and immediately think of rolling it all up with a ball (it's happened to me).

My bedroom walls were seriously like that. FILLED with Game posters until recently

...When you form the "perfect" Tetris game in your mind hours after you put down the game (happens ALL the time...)

...When you can swear that you hear the town theme from Link's Awakening when you know your Gameboy is back in the hotel room (happened a lot as a kid)

...When your main goal for the next three months is to complete level three "Turbo Tunnel" in Battletoads, instead of doing well in college. (Happening RIGHT NOW) (BTW, who else thinks this is one of the hardest levels of all time, ****ing Rare!)

...When you'd rather spend a whole Saturday trying to beat Maniac Mansion with your friends instead of going to a party (will happen)

These made me remember some. Firstly,

-DDR syndrome. Close your eyes, and you still see arrows. Happens to every beginner who gets addicted.

-Mr. Driller, sort of like tetris, you go to sleep, and you can only keep drilling, and drilling, and drilling in your mind. Actually, every time that happens, I get a little better at the game. I'll start up the next day, and I'll be much better.

-Back in the Pokemon era, I'd play until 4 am each night, and I would hear all the Pokemon themes everywhere. Of course, half the time I was crazy, and because it was so popular, the other half of the time, there was actually some little kid playing.

when you walk down the sidewalk and seriously contemplate how many bolts you'd pick up from knocking down the street lamps. (happens ALL the time, and i don't even notice what i'm thinking.) (ratchet & clank)

• you hum video game tunes
• you draw triforces on my school papers instead of listening to the teacher
• you pack your DS in your backpack before you pack your school items
• you search for softcore pr0n stories and/or pictures of video game characters
• you yank yourself to the thought of female characters while you're in the shower

When you equate walking distances with loading times.

When you don't want to stand still in fear of getting a head shot.

I remember hearing the pokemon music everywhere I went after doing a 5 hour.

When you drive a hyundai accent and ebrake around way too many corners. :)

Hehe. :D I've actually sung the Zelda song (System of a Down) this weekend for my girlfriend and her parents.
I drew a few triforces today during college. :p

You know you play too much FPS online shooters when you sidestep to hide behind a wall after you've come through a door (I've actually seen that one:D).

(I could only come up with one... for now)

...when you look up to open a door...(just about everygame, that requires you to press up to open the door)
