NemeSiS-Factor: Favorite Weapon? Pistol; +29|6920|Everett, WA, US

The subject line basically explains itself: How do you know when you have been playing too much? One indicator could be this:
Just today, I was on my way home and I was following two cars, one was a sports car (red), the other was a van. I noticed that the van the other lane had a 'disabled passenger' liscence plate. But then I noticed he was going 10 over the limit while the sporty car was going 5 under. I was pissed that the cripple was outrunning this guy in the sports car, so I began flaming him, calling gim a noob for being beating by another noob, even though he obviously outranked the guy in the van. then I went for my printscreen button.
Thats about the time I decided to write this post. To prevent this from ever happening to me again, I have decided to buy a web cam and stick it to my dash and have my laptop up and running just in case. Then I can prntscrn real-life. R0x0rs!111 That guy is totally a hax0r! I'm going to report his ass to EA!

HEHE, lol like today i was like owning some n00bs, and i like just pwned all of these like n00bs, you know.

If you know where that phrase or something very similar to that comes from then that is when you have played far too much online games.

BOOM HEADSHOT!, i can dance all day, i can dance all day, BOOM HEADSHOT!

I'm just going to defend myself a little now, before everyone starts bitching. I don't actually do this type of stuff in real life and i'm not anything like some of the guys on pure ownage.

If you have seen the videos i'm sure you'll agree they are pretty funny though, if you havn't check out this link and download some of them.

Hey, I heard there's no spawn points in RL. I mean, if you get lag out there, you're dead!

I felt like that the day I got into my car.

I'd say most of the time I manage to refrain from doing it though. I've met a new friend though, his name is Alan and he owns the bodyshop just down the road from me. Really nice guy.

That's nothing. I'm at my friends standing outside and this loud car drives by and I look at this old beater and just automatically look 10 feet ahead and hear the SRAW fire in my head. I totally froze for a sec so I didn't screw up my shot before I realized...

I went hunting the other day - goats and rabbits. Spent eight hours and only got one rabbit, (didn't see much action at all.) Got pissed off that I couldn't always line the sight perfectly with my eye like the BF2 guys, and also felt that the yellow crosshair was lacking.

When you repeatedly press PAGE DOWN in other games after a tk.

The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.

Yeah, have had a few moments like that - usually after a 6 hr session straight or something. Had just jumped out of a linkup with a friend and both of us getting repeatedly strafed on Songhua by blackhawks. Ducked out to get some beer and when a news chopper flew overhead we both immediately looked around for an empty stinger of mobile AA. We pwnt the news chopper.

when a bunch of us from the office are going out to lunch, typically one of us will shout something from in game like "Get in!", "Hop in" or "Go, Go, Go" A random "Negative" or "You're the worst squad I've ever seen." goes a long way. From that point on, it's all just chatter
