Your first response to any frustrating situation is, "I bash it with my axe."
You demand experience points after winning a fistfight. After a fistfight you search whomever you knocked out. You hang out with people you actively dislike because they give good role-play. You have ever played a Dwarven character that did not have "axe" or "beard" ANYWHERE in his or her name. You scream in pain whenever your character takes damage You've ever discovered, after gaming with your significant other, that you like their character better than you do them. You have friends or acquaintances that regularly refer to you as "Og." (Or something similar.) You've ceased responding to your birth name. You have more entertaining "No-@#%$, there-I-was-in-a-game" stories than you do anecdotes about your family. You talk about your characters as if they are real people. You've looked into how much it would cost to build a castle. You finally get to the point where you look at everything on the shelves and say "*I* can do a better job than these bozos!" You use phrases like 'Save vs. Graduation or go insane for 1d4 days.' You buy CDs of specific music (or sounds) just to use as background atmosphere for gaming. You don't just have maps of places that don't exist, you've had at least one of them made into a Globe! You know what a claymore is and what it looks like. You've thought of four or five additions to this list. You have a feeling that God is a big Gamemaster, we're all just Characters, and Life, viewed from the outside, is a Game after all…

You could paper you bathroom in character sheets. You could paper your bathroom in different versions of just ONE character. You've ever spent a significant fraction of your life modifying game rules that you didn't like... and, as soon as the system worked to your satisfaction, discarded it. You've ever neglected to buy the new edition of your favourite game because you already have three. You can consume your body weight in junk food in one gaming session. You consider Altoids, Salt-&-Vinegar chips, and blue Teeni Hugs a balanced diet. (Or even an acceptable combination.) You have been known to drive to far away places where you paid enormous amounts of money for the privelege of sleeping on floors, eating crap, buying little pewter statues of Gandalf, and meeting dozens of psychopathic members of the alternate (or similar) sex who will follow you around for months, merely for the pleasure of playing with gamers you don't know. ...and then signed up en masse with all of your friends to play in games with game masters who you've known since high school. You own your own weight in gaming books. The owners of local hobby stores take your checks without ID because they know where you live. You can be more that three NPCs at the same time without generating more than reasonable confusion in your players. You know how to sex dwarves. (Chromosome typing- requires a blood sample. I'M not getting it...) [ 03-29-2002, 06:47 AM: Message edited by: J'aran ] |

You buy multiple copies of the same game to use on your multiple computers you have set up for gaming so that you can then play the game over LAN with your freinds or be online with it simultanously with more than one person...
@_@ What's scarry is ive done every single one of these! though my bathroom is free of character sheets... and here's another ive done: IF you play an RPG online through a console and the console shorts out you buy a new console and actually call the company to allow your character to be transfered over to your OTHER console so you don't have to start over again with a new character! and yet another- You create one of every character class and you learn every technique and recieve every weapon possible for each of them no matter how weak just to say that you have every weapon in the game and can use them all. @_@... and another- You arrange clan games but are too busy playing the games to actually sort out your clan... aaaand another- When they finally shut down the gaming network you play on (example: Bungie.net) you play until the last second when you get cutt off! (T_T i still miss playing myth2 online...) AAAAND YET ANOTHER- When you hear that the company you love is making a sequel to one of your favorite games but some other company has boght them out so they can only produce it on another system you BUY that system just to play it... (X-box for halo, I like marathon,,. and myth... a lot...) |
