You know you're playing too many video games when. . .

. . . you're at the office, and Oracle is flipping out, and the coworker in the desk next to you throws her hands up in the air and goes, "HELP!". . . and you look around for guys in black suits with sunglasses and awesome hair to come by and do a groovy dance routine to pop music.

I think I was the only person who noticed, but it was enough for me to promptly decide to seriously curtail playing those sorts of games.

I was thinking with Portals for a few days after I finished playing the game. It's so disappointing each time you realize you can't fling yourself to the top of a building like you planned out in your head.
Iam totally Chaotic Neutral
Wait what
I didn't have any issues like that, but the problems I DID have were that when I played other games, I would try to shoot portals at walls, only to realize I was just wasting ammo and taking damage.
I've always thought of you more as Lawful Stupid
When you can check out any game in a gamestop, and you've already played all of the tripple A titles, sometimes you just get curious.
The strange thing is that it actually wasn't awful. It felt like a sort of spiritual successor to the Crazy Taxi series (apart from the soundtrack.)
I was also impressed that the game ENTIRELY avoided product placement, despite the fact that part of the game is finding and destroying a certain number of billboards per level. None of the billboards were ever real products, and none of the cars were real cars either.
What happened between us?
You used to sing songs about me, but now you don't bring me flowers anymore.
You didn't like that song. You said it was anti-semitic.
I liked the "Evander Smash" part.
And seriously, if I actually hated everything that I called anti-semitic, I would hate EVERYTHING
which I do, but for other reasons.
Also, where in the heck did the "lawful" part come from>
Scared my poor cat so much he didn't come out from under the dresser all day.
haha.
There was a time a few years ago where I used to strafe around corners, like on the street, in the office etc. Not as a joke but genuinely just the way I walked.D:
Another time, I'd been watching an episode of Bodyshock on C4 here, I think it must've been about criminally obese people, and at the end they played a trailer for the next episode, which was about kids who age prematurely, and these ones looked really rather disturbing and gnarled. Having recently been putting far too many tired hours into RE4, my reaction this time was to think "AIM FOR THE HEAD" (this ain't a cut-scene bitch, press A! etc.)
Most recently, I'd been playing Crackdown a lot, and while out in Oxford, found myself looking at the tops of buildings for orbs, or planning my route and how I'd navigate across the rooftops if I were in a hurry.
Or, you look forward to Saturday because you don't have work and you can play UO all day vs. the 10PM-4AM you have been all week.
Hahaha, man, have you been to the 02 Arena? I went to a Foo Fighters gig there, and, looking up at the gently sloping white walls, said to my brother outside "we could so Crackdown jump up that".
Even better, we then went inside, and found the fucking Blue Orb Mountain of win!
Once I got so wasted on Tequila and smoke, I spent no small time staggering around the pavement, trying to "Hadoken" a parked car, genuinely confused why it "wouldn't work".
We both play a lot of Resi 4
That same freind once realised he was breaking ths speed limit when 'Endless Challenge' from F Zero GX came on his car stereo
I don't know that this can be beaten.
There is a band in my area that does a great instrumental cover of the music from the original DOOM (with a few of the original sound effects spliced in, because you can't really recreate the shotgun cocking and shooting, or the pinky growling, or the imp firing, etc.) and every time I play it while driving my foot suddenly feels very heavy...

I did this, except it was when HL2 first came out and for about a week I was expecting objects to fly to my hand when I pointed at them.
