Blatently robbed off the Football Manager forum but I thought it could be a bit of fun here so come on suggest your things and remember its all in the name of fun so don't start saying your accomplishments or whatever.

Mine would be that whenever I hear an Accordion I instantly think of a clown playing it and make sure their is no cafe's near ala Broken Sword

. Their is a busker in Dublin City Centre who has started playing the accordion now, freaks me out it does

Walking like the characters in game LOL, namely TK, Driver Parallel Lines

BopNiblets · 07-01-2011 8:33pm

Back around '98 '99 I heard headcrab noises around my house... brix were shat walking up the stairs in my house in the dark.

cherryghost · 07-01-2011 8:34pm

You have more online game friends than real friends

Kells... · 07-01-2011 8:37pm

When you start seeing Reznov around the place.

Peyton Manning · 07-01-2011 8:38pm

When you kill hookers after you have sex with them just to get your money back.

Fnz · 07-01-2011 8:41pm

Yeah. I knew I had a problem when I had a ring in each hand, snorting crushed rings off the ass of a twelve-year old boy I called "Ring".

shofukan · 07-01-2011 8:50pm

When you've been playing Half-Life for a few days straight and when you finally go outside you start hearing the Combine... Everywhere.

Da GOAT · 07-01-2011 9:41pm

closing my eyes and seeing COD crosshairs

BopNiblets · 07-01-2011 9:42pm

You're about to jump off a high ledge then you remember the fall damage will hurt like hell and you don't have a medkit to make it better.

amacachi · 07-01-2011 9:42pm

When you try to double-jump out of bed in the morning.

rcdk1 · 07-01-2011 9:54pm

When you're driving along on a crisp winters day and you see a hawk circling against a blue sky........ and your right thumb jabs an imaginary triangle button to arm your strela 3 and score an easy 150 points!

Mr E · 07-01-2011 10:02pm

When you're walking aimlessly around town, eating pills, and you start seeing ghosts everywhere. F**king ghosts, man.

dreamers75 · 07-01-2011 10:19pm

When your outisde the house and looking around you see the best Sniper positions.

DARK-KNIGHT · 07-01-2011 10:28pm

when you put gaming before sex

LOL maybe i shouldnt have said it but meh lol

Reganio 2 · 07-01-2011 10:29pm

A poor one from me, was playing a game of ball the other day and I was thinking to myself, man if I could change the camera on this I would be sorted. Too much BAL on PES I reckon.

Grayditch · 08-01-2011 12:09am

You call the contents of your pockets your "Inventory".
You smash the vases in your friends house looking for coins
When the TV Licence people knock, you hide in the box the TV came in and peek out the hole until they move on.
You call work assignments "side quests" and wonder after the year is out, how you still haven't leveled up.
You ask the chemist "Where the Stimpaks at?".
During a real life zombie alien infestation, you pick the crowbar as a good all-rounder.
You wonder why you don't hear a "ping" everytime you do something awesome that nobody is around to see.
You grab the announcement microphone off the lady in Tesco and say "I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite store on the Citadel".

WolfForager · 08-01-2011 12:10am

When you try to retrace every major global event to the Patriots...

Zillah · 08-01-2011 12:31am

I keep clicking sleep but I still feel weird and tired. Drank some purified water and had a snack but I still don't feel any better. I think the radiation must be kicking in or something.

Korvanica · 08-01-2011 1:15am

...you leave all the lights on at night so mobs dont spawn in the house.

Raze_them_all · 08-01-2011 3:27am

when you stay up for 5 days straight....open the fridge and birds sing at you.....

SeantheMan · 08-01-2011 3:43am

You think you would be the greatest soldier ever because you are good at COD, but then get told there is no respawn in RL

Nehaxak · 08-01-2011 3:48am

You think it's perfectly acceptable to sleep in a pub as a means of gaining extra rested experience before the next day in work.

Iron Hide · 08-01-2011 3:52am

you start wearing a sneaking suit instead of jeans and a t-shirt.

ihatetractors · 08-01-2011 3:55am

When you sit down for some 1st thing of a saturday mornin cod, go in search of food to realise its now dark outside.

Xyo · 08-01-2011 3:56am

When you see a cat crossing the road late at night and think its a hunter.
When someone asks you to make dinner and you ask if they have mats.

weiland79 · 08-01-2011 8:47am

My brother overheard me muttering to myself the other day " Friendly Huey inbound" Hmmmmmmmm:o

Gi joe! · 08-01-2011 12:05pm

Constantly saying: Killing Frenzy! Slice and Dice! Be the Bullet! etc in the halo announcer's voice to myself while also driving my brother mad.

When I get him to leave the room I'll finish with the trademark GAME OVER!:cool:

Dave_The_Sheep · 08-01-2011 12:13pm

You start wondering how many turns it will take you to get to the fridge.

You're driving along and as soon as a you're close behind a car you start feeling the gear stick for the fire-cannon button.

krudler · 08-01-2011 12:46pm

When you find something you've been looking for and hear the "da da DAH-DAH!" chest noise from Zelda. Then triumphantly hold your car keys over your head with both hands.

Rockn · 08-01-2011 2:38pm

When you see a red barrel and think "I'd love to shoot that and see it explode".

C.D. · 08-01-2011 2:41pm

When having a scary dream you try to Alt+F4 your way out it..

hardCopy · 08-01-2011 2:49pm

Around the time GTA Vice City came out I was walking with my mates and a garda car stopped at traffic lights beside us.

I had to fight an instant urge kick the windows in.

ShiverinEskimo · 08-01-2011 3:12pm

When you need to piss at say 1pm and eventually go at about 8pm only because your game crashed.

Pyr0 · 08-01-2011 4:02pm

When you think "Sh!t I'm late for work, better bunny hop down the road" as it'd get you there faster.

Running with a knife is the quickest way to bomb site A (bedroom) from the spawn (kitchen).

dammitjanet · 08-01-2011 4:49pm

You start to hear "chig-aa" when you complete daily tasks...

L31mr0d · 08-01-2011 4:59pm

You walk into a gun shop and end up getting too scared to walk back outside, because you know there's a boss out there now.

Sephiroth_dude · 08-01-2011 5:27pm

Calling plasters stimpaks :-P

WhiskeyGoblin · 08-01-2011 6:39pm

When you're watching War movies and thinking FFS, bleeeedin campers everywhere..

Fnz · 08-01-2011 7:20pm

.. there appears to be a blister forming atop the cluster of blisters already on your thumb.

Twilightning · 08-01-2011 8:22pm

When you open up your laptop and expect an AC-130

Nerdkiller1991 · 08-01-2011 8:41pm

You expect the car to catch fire and blow up just by rolling upside down.

You are limited to only using 2 weapons at a time.

You think that simply hiding after getting shot makes you better, seconds later.

You miss that shot in paintball or airsoft, you blame it all on lag.

You start shouting racial slurs and profane words while playing the same thing.

You think you can jump higher by aiming a rocket launcher straight down on the ground.

You go Rambo in a perfectly planned raid, only for the whole gang to be killed.

You wake up, only to see the textures load.

You believe that duct tape solves everything.

You think a simple bird feather can revive someone back to life.

You think that having sex can grant you red orbs.

Skerries · 08-01-2011 8:53pm

when you realise that you will have to leave your games collection to your children as there is no way it can all be played in one lifetime
(damn you Steam sales!)

Ross_Mahon · 08-01-2011 8:58pm

Climbing into the left hand side of a car, Too much Halo...

seraphimvc · 08-01-2011 9:03pm

when you start using 'imba' 'gg' 'neff' words in dialy conversations that has nothing to do with game at all.

Canis Lupus · 08-01-2011 9:29pm

+1 on watching rooftops.

Nehaxak · 08-01-2011 9:53pm

If you've never played PlanetSide - you probably won't get most of this but it was and still is, an epic video imo

When you start commenting on the transfer window saying to your mates: "Aw yeah, thats a good signing, hes got a -9 potential ability on champ, he got amazing in my barca game"

When you start using the term "real life" to talk about life...

And when you start thinking that daily experiences would make an excellent game.

True that. Was only commenting the other day to a friend as to how Johan Elmander was such a crap player in real life when he's knocking in 2 goals a game average for me in football manager
