They just put in new carpet by the restrooms...it's brown with little red circles and squares. Everytime I walk by, I think "Disarm Traps". Is there a Cleric in the house? [img]smile.gif[/img]

You can recite all the lines the charecters say in with perfect inflection :D

Galadria 04-02-2002 09:47 AM

LOL, when you have a nightmare and cast around for the "Cast Spell" button to attack the monster.

Talthyr Malkaviel 04-02-2002 09:56 AM

When you're trying to avoid someone you don't like and you try desperately to 'Hide in shadows.'

jtqbe 04-02-2002 10:02 AM

When you walk down the hallway and think that you'd better search for traps first.

<font color="gold">When you start attacking people because you want experience... [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

Kaz 04-02-2002 10:18 AM

When you start desperately searching for the Pause button, or when you look for blue circles under people :D

J'aran 04-02-2002 10:20 AM

When you start attacking people who are wearing red shoes...

When you always wait for all of your companions when exiting a building, because (all together now) "you must gather your party before venturing forth".

Talthyr Malkaviel 04-02-2002 10:35 AM

When you try to pick locked doors or bash them open with your sword/mace etc

When you actually own a sword, mace, etc. :D

Tiamat 04-02-2002 10:52 AM

When you fantasize about the last boss of ToB!
Or, when you ar being fired, you search for the power word kill scroll!

Talthyr Malkaviel 04-02-2002 12:50 PM

You don't trust anyone who abbreviates ther name to Jon, and you keep thinking everytime you're in a bad neighbourhood while it's dark you'll get a random encounter with vampires.
Or when you get in a fight you shout 'to the pane.' or some such phrase.

khazadman 04-02-2002 01:18 PM

Or you're dreaming, but it freezes, then up pops the blue screen of death.

AzRaeL StoRmBlaDe 04-02-2002 06:57 PM

you call your pet hampster boo and talk to it.

Tancred 04-02-2002 08:02 PM

You never actually start conversations; you just walk up to people, poke them, and expect them to talk to you.

thalali 04-03-2002 06:36 PM

When you sleep with your eyes open because you think zombies are going to come out of your closet.

Sazerac 04-03-2002 06:47 PM

A) You wake up first thing in the morning, look in the mirror, and try to change your character portrait...

B) When confronted with a difficult situation at work, you try to find a walkthrough for it on the Internet...

C) You start color-coding your co-workers like they were dragons (Look out for Big Red in Marketing...)

D) You wish dialogues with your boss came with multiple-choice options...

Cheers,

Talthyr Malkaviel 04-03-2002 06:52 PM

-You try planting acorns in forests to make Dryads appear.

-You make sure not to cast spells within cities, afraid that the cowled wizards will appear.

-If you secretly distrust someone, you try to cast show alignment on them.

-You wonder when the hell you will have fought enough to go up a level.

-You search for dwarfs named cromwell so you can forge armour out of your dragon scales (leather jacket.)

-You are very shocked to learn your favourite bar doesn't have Evermead, Berduskan Beer, or Elminster's Ale.

Downunda 04-03-2002 07:17 PM

you read and understand "You've played too much..." threads :D

Talthyr Malkaviel 04-03-2002 07:19 PM

You use 'You've played too much...' threads as a shopping list.

Encard 04-03-2002 07:47 PM

You flail around wildly when someone's talking to you, waiting for dialogue options to appear.

You try to find the options menu so you can reload after you do something stupid.

You do something stupid expecting to be able to reload.

You can recite the names, stats, and descriptions of every weapon.

You can't understand why you can never seem to find the edge of the area you're in.

You always fight the same exact way (swing... swing... swing... swing... swing...).

You expect all dead people to be as... energetic... as that guy's uncle (or was it some other relative?) in the Athkatla Graveyard.

You wonder why nothing happens when you wave your hands around and say, "Vita Mortic Caraero."

You don't go into caves for fear of drow.

You try to find the Special Abilities button when you get very angry so that you can use Berserk.

Hmm...

Talthyr Malkaviel 04-03-2002 07:52 PM

-You try to charm a bunny in a park, and you're annoyed when the circle under it doesn't turn green.

-You put on a thick pair of gloves and expect to become ogre-strong.

-You wonder what it would be like if you had a girdle of gender change.

-You are pissed at someone and try to cast curse on them.

-You try to kill weeds by casting 'Abi-Dalzims horrid wilting'

You know what this spell is ... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Talthyr Malkaviel 04-03-2002 08:26 PM

You know the exact colour effects for each spell (you know, like the hovering, swirling purple stuff for a spider spawn spell)
Oh dear, I know quite a few!!

TheGrandSlayer 04-03-2002 08:32 PM

When you endlessly try to find your spell book so you can change your heal for flame strike so you can use it against your enemy :D

Krishach 04-03-2002 08:57 PM

When travelling at night, you prepare to be waylaid by enemies.

You consider yourself Neutral Good.

You sleep 8 hours and remember things you forgot before you went to sleep.

You travel constantly with your buddies and sleep at Holiday Inns.

Jafin 04-04-2002 02:23 AM

You press the snooze button on your alarm, expecting to be able to reload to before the alarm went off [img]smile.gif[/img]

Bahamut 04-04-2002 05:41 AM

When I drive, or go out, I think of it as giving me experience points... and that it will make me a level higher and thuse become more powerful... technically it is applicable LOL

Glorfindel 04-04-2002 06:05 AM

<font color="teal"> Well, when u fall face-first into ur keyboard of course ;) .... and if u do that for ne other reason than because of falling asleep, then u should take a break neway [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>

Harkoliar 04-04-2002 08:11 AM

hmmm... when you go to sleep thinking that you wake up you can case magic missle to your enemies ;)

Cloudbringer 04-28-2002 08:28 AM

When things go wrong at the office you want to hit "reload" and this time send Minsc in with full battle armor. ;)

Madman-Rogovich 04-28-2002 04:16 PM

When you try to sleep rough in your town yet to your dismay you are awakened by the local gaurd..CURSE YOU I CANT AFFORD TO STAY IN A FANCY INN DAMN IT LEAVE ME ALONE... THE VOICES THEY WANT ME LET ME GO NO NO NO ARGH WHY DO THEY COME TO ME TO DIE WHY DO THEY COME TO ME TO DIE!!!

lroyo 04-28-2002 06:27 PM

You go berzerk and attack someone who touched your BF/GF called out " I must protect my witch!"
