Default Signs that you are an adventure game freak

1. When you enter the game section, you head straight to the baragain-bin.

2. Instead of speeding up your cpu, you try to slow it down.

3. Your pockets contain much more than just change and keys (twine, nails, rubber-chicken with a pulley in the middle etc.)

4. You pick up random objects and try to make random things out of them.

5. You still keep your 386/486/P166 handy "just in case".

6. Your still looking for "The Missing Floppies"

7. You actualy understood the abowe gag

8. You've actualy played Loom

9. You own a copy of callahan's crosstime saloon

10. When impressed, you tend to add the remark "That's the second biggest..." to it

Feel free to post more ^^

1 - Well, sometimes.

2 - Same.

3 - Yup. Although the "Rubber-Ducky with a pulley in the middle" is new. Don't you mean Rubber-Chicken?

4 - Yes, sometimes.

5 - I think so very much.

6 -

7 -

8 - I've played it so often, that I could say I *am* LOOM.

9 - Sadly, not yet...

10 - That's the second biggest Penguin I've ever seen!


Also, I'd like to add:

11. Your reaction to being shown an Action-Adventure by an employee that just wanted to help (he asked when you were browsing for new adventures, usually), is no longer along the lines of "That's not an Adventure game." Instead it is something like "It's okay, I understand." accompanied by a friendly pat on the back and a supportive smile. (Also nice to freak some people out, I think).

12. Subsequently you have started to adopt a general attitude of someone who is steaming with anger, so that employees don't even come up to you to ask if they can help.

....Fixed.
Sorry about that, must have been drunk or somthing

13. You know how to pick locks, but have never used that knowledge in real life.

14. You know all about hodoo/vampires/werewolves/miscalanius cults and secret societies and can hold up a lengthy conversation about these subjects, even if you've never opened up a book on them.

This morning as I was heading out to school, I systematically picked up my wallet, keys, and sunglasses, and spoke "These are my sunglasses. I'll take'em because they make me look cool" OUT LOUD. I then realized the absurdity of it and had a good laugh. Definitely an adventure game influence. Or sleep deprivation. I've been awake for the past 40 hours or so. Hell I'm going to bed now.

Same, I'm always avoiding the console stands and straight to the bargain bin.

15. When you fail at ANY task, you say stuff like, "Nope, that didn't work!", "Those two things don't belong together!", "Error 404: OOPS! You thought of something we didn't!!"....

I've absolutely done this. Had to explain to my girlfriend what it meant as she looked at me funny. The explanation didn't stop her from looking at me funny.

You actually buy games full price to support the developers, despite the fact they'll be selling for a tenner in two months.

You know what the solution is to puzzles because you've started to think like a developer.

Your idea of a secure bank is one with a 20*20 tile puzzle on the main vault.

Friends no longer invite you into their homes, because you tend to create a mess looking for clues/useful inventory/secret passages.

You are constantly trying to fit strange or large things into your pants (eg live dogs, inflatable ducks, giant orbs)

You were distraught with the flooding of New Orleans because it meant Gabriel Knight's shop was ruined.

You put your hamster in the microwave
