You know you play too many adventure games when...
Hi there, A friend and I were discussing the topic of addiction to adventure games and the phrase "You know you play Adventure Games too much when..."
What can you guys come up with? for example: You know you play Adventure Games too much when you walk into a room and take everything that isnt nailed down |

You know you play Adventure Games too much when you check Adventure Gamers' forums more than 3 times a day.

Guilty. The sad part is, I rarely play adventure games, unless I happen to be on adventure game "kick".

You ask everybody that you talk to:
"What do you know about . . . voodoo?" |

When you have dreams of your entire network comprising eight game drives crashing irretrievably and at once, even though you have several current images to restore from that aren't on the network. The installed games and saves lost would be catastrophic - on a small scale, of course. Current events put even that in perspective.

Fortunately I haven't gotten to the point where my life is an adventure game, but I can say this one: You've had an insult sword fight with your brother.

I just have to add to this - even though you are pretty much grown up! (This applies to me!) And my own one... if you find something at home/work and go 'yes! i needed matches!' and then realise you needed matches in a game you were trying to light something, and not in real life... |

...when you get disappointed while trying to fit a lot of really big items in your pockets, and finding out that it is impossible.

You know you play too many adventure games when you start up a "You know you're a redneck" like thread.

..when you think the best way to distract a person is to shout "Look! A three headed monkey behind you!"

...when you participate in a meeting at your workplace, and no matter the solutions to solving work-related problems your colleagues come up with, your responses are; "that won't work", "what should that accomplish" or "you can't do that".

...you want to visit certain countries/towns/cities just because they were used/featured in your favourite game.
