Journal SolemnDragon's Journal: Signs of too much Warcraft 9

-You see the mailbox on the corner and think, "right-click."

-You no longer fear things being lost when you set them down, because you know that they will be destroyed as soon as you let go.

-you refer to your raise as a "quest reward."

-you think of money in perfectly decimal terms.

-You expect the price of cheerios will go down if you kill trolls for the shopkeeper next door. (And in some cities, this might be true!)

-You have an active discussion about fishing with someone, and get away with it until they inform you that "Darkshore Grouper," is not, in fact, a real kind of fish.

-When you see spiders, you stand perfectly still. When other household members ask what you're doing, you inform them that you have to find out its level so you know if you can kill it.

-You see copper pipes under the sink and think, "boomstick."

- You engage in earnest, thoughtful discussion with others about the probable means of making such a tube on an anvil, and why it wouldn't work.

-You go to the store and expect them to buy back the milk you don't still want. You don't see why they won't, since you kept it in your bag for a week like everything else you own.

anybody else got some to add?

  • that I was spending an inordinate amount of time trying to get legislature passed making the exchange rate in Tristam less opressive. My "Senator" kept saying things like, "But it's just a game," and "Tristam's not a real place," and "Why don't you just keep the crystal sword." What a tool.
  • You send meeting requests at work with the subject:

    Lvl 33 C++/Win32 Coder LFT!
  • I have, on occassion, been walking along, and spotted a weed or some other small plant life that sticks out in my vision. Invariably, I always wonder for a moment if my Herbalism skill is high enough to pick it.

    When you start calling drinkable liquids 'juice' you might be a caster class in WoW
  • I'm using the Great Artists produced in my capital over in my third city (by creating Great Works there) to induce 60k culture points in my top three towns!

    All of this supported by my "Technology for Gold/Turn" cartel. Muh-ahahah!

    I know someone that actually did make them in real life. They went "BOOM!", too. :D

    This was about 15 years ago or so. <shrug>
  • Although I've never played WoW, when I was obsessed with Quake I when it came out, I used to seriously think about hitting the "Q button" (my binding for it) the grappling hook to get down the halls faster at work. :) It was weird because I felt halfway between reality and the game while I was at work....
  • Wondering just how much workout time it would take to be able to jump above that guy's head and stab him, and whether anyone at work would notice you toting a lance.

    Getting into a fight, but taking ten seconds to settle yourself into an acceptable fighting pose before you actually start attacking.

    Seeing stray cats and other wildlife and making sure to walk well wide and behind of it, because "I don't know if it's aggressive on sight or sound."

    Wishing real-world bees dropped beehive chips worth 40k gil for 1
