1 - You are walking outside, and you have to do a double-take because you are _sure_ that you just saw a sparkly ? in the grass beside the sidewalk 2 - you accidentaly tell a friend LOL when he/she says something funny 3 - you keep hearing the Rare Discovery sound / zone music / other sound effect in Real Life
Lmao, those are great You start collecting cigarettes lying around on the ground, exclaiming happily - "shiny!!" made me laugh.
When your working on your computer at work and try to scroll out to 3rd person view to see whats going on :smileysurprised: When your driving down the road and say to youself "Is that a blinkey?" because the sun glissesn off of something in the grass. :smileyindifferent: When you send a /tell to your husband sitting 36" away from you :smileytongue: When you argue over whos going to go get dinner because you went last time :smileyvery-happy:
You remind everyone at a family meeting that you are the GM of this zone and that everyone under level 16 must despawn at 9pm Earth time. You refer to a handheld GPS as an in-game map. You want to type in /fol when driving on a long trip. The term "ex-con" really confuses you. What did they con before? When passing a barking dog, you think "scowls, ready to attack"
i have 2..... ... when ur reading the eq2 forums and hear the eq2 theme in ur head.. ... when ur lookin at a piture of something on the computer and u try to left click and drag... (lol ive done that so many times)
:smileyvery-happy: loved these ones: You wonder why no names are displayed over people's head when you look at them. You jump out of your office on the 12th floor, wondering if you'll finally get another skillup in safe fall.
When you try to figure out how to AF the car in front of you to make it to work on time because you are half asleep from staying up all night to play.....
You catch yourself with the urge to run up to a large granite rock you spotted in the park before some other harvester gets it. You enter a elevator and expect to hear "Loading, please wait . . ." after the doors close. (from EQ1) You tell a friend that you're "getting tired and going to log" while talking over the phone. You see a mother with two young twins in tow and think, "botter!"
You catch yourself trying to pan the camera angle on your excel report Your talking with someone on the phone and you catch yourself clicking your center mouse wheel because thats the button you use for team speak. You refer to taking your significant other out to dinner as "Building faction" Message Edited by Warbird1 on 02-10-200602:26 PM
When you receive your paycheck and look at the taxes taken out and as you grumble you say "Dammit! Nerfed again!"
you dream about picking up sparklies all neatly lined up in a row in the 30 minutes between the alarm going off and the time you actually wake up. And it doesn't bother you at all.
