You know you play too much when...

...has this been done before? Oh well, I don't care.

But I know I play too much CoH/Cov when... it seeps into my dreams and I wake up thinking... wow... that was cool.

In my dream, I was looking for my dogs. I entered a room and was surprised to find it was a mission on Villains side. Those big frost dudes were in groups of 7 or 8 (some dev nerfed my dream, cause that is nuts).

I needed help, and of all things, my sister was there and some other friends. Wish I could remember who... lol cause they said funny things that I don't remember.

We managed to get out of the mission... don't know how and my dogs were there. Along with several villains. They just stood there and we were all hesitant. Were we going to rumble!!??

Then one said, well take your mutts and go. Of course, we all know not to turn our backs on villains. So instead, we teleported the doggies home, so 5 of us are standing there... and this is what I woke up to giggling about...

My sister asked, me, ok how do we get back... I said well, we will use the Pocket D teleporter. She tells me we all don't have that fandangled vet power. I looked at the villains and said, can you beat them up so they can get to the hospital, then 3 of us hit our Pocket D teleporters... but instead it was the self-destruction. Oops...

The villains stared at us, and my friend said... I think you might wanna back up... cue my clock alarm.

Ya, I play too much CoH. I love it.

Great post. Love the complete lack of logic dreams have even though they seem to make perfect sense as you experience them

I re-visited HL2 last weekend. I kept pressing "R" on the straightaways in the boat level. I also kept trying to rotate my camera around to see the badguys behind me. I actually had the urge to right-click on Alyx to see her Info.

Even worse is with all 3 events I cracked myself up. A grown man, sitting alone, playing a dystopian FPS...laughing. Thanks Paragon, your game is so fun that it creeps up into other games, turning me insane.

You know you play too much when someone sends you a screenshot of their character and you try to right click and rotate the camera. I do it all the time when looking at base screenshots as well.

I thought I was the only one who did that. I guess that if I am as messed up as I think I am, others are in the same vicinity.


Losing faith in humanity, one person at a time.

Did your cell phone accidentally call anyone during the dream, because I woke up with 1 Missed Call...LOL

I think you are playing too much when you wake up in the middle of the night with a great build idea and have to fire up Mid's at 3 am to check the numbers...

You already play too much, no need to veil it. Especially if you have more than 1 account...

I'm not sure, but most likely it's a sign that you play too much when you stage an arguement between your first and second account.... and your 3rd account tries to play mediator!

You know you play to much when you purposefully schedule days off at work to coincide with in-game events.

When you wake up in the morning and try to teleport to work

When your only method of dancing is formed from the game

When your cell phone consists of in game sounds and music (yes....it's true)

Considering he confessed his plan to take friday off so he can "pack" and play "some" CoH during dbl xp weekend. I can't believe someone would take friday off just for dbl xp.

... when you start calling your RL friends by the game character names. "Hey Sumo, errr, Ray, who are things going?"

...when someone comes into the room and covers your eyes while you're playing... and you proceed to defeat the mob you were facing anyway.

<--Guilty also.

I told my boss i needed friday off to go out of town to "Rhode Island" for the weekend and apparently he grew up in some little BFE town in RI. So he chewed my ear for 45 minutes about the beautiful countryside, then asked whereabouts I'd be staying. I said "a little hotel near Talos Island" and he was like "oh I think I went fishing near there one summer."

I smiled and nodded, went back to my desk, and LOL'd for an hour.

Oh that is outstanding. I told my boss it was a mental health day.

I've been told by Infernal that I don't play ENOUGH coh lately...

That will hopefully be changing soon but I have to say that you know you play too much coh when...

you can't sleep cause you're playing coh in your head...

sad but true :-)
