Forums - Gaming - 50 Reasons You know you're addicted to Video Games

Woah, I'm guilty of 3, 10, 14, 18, 19, 21, 27, 28, 34, 41 and 45.

>_>

tht was very amusing, i was a guilty for 2 or 3



 

 

 

I think this would be better if all 50 were actual things people would do, more than half of these are just ridiculous things that noone would ever do (feeling the need to jump on turtles, double jump etc.)

I think some good ones would be...

1) Whenever you see a strange situation you relate it to something that happened in a Video Game "Oh this is just like that part of MGS4!"

2) You have a Video game character or level as the background to your Desktop

3) At one time or another you wished you could have your own replica of The Master Sword from Zelda

4) You know how to play various video game songs on your instrument

5) You try to convince people who don't play games to play games with you.

6) You invite people over to your house just so you can play some multiplayer.

7) When a vocab word comes up in your English class, you already know the definition because it was used in a game.

8) You've learned more about WW2 in WW2 games than you have in history class.

9) You have a video game related poster hanging in your house / room.

10) You would rather have Miyamoto's signature on your Wii than any movie celebrity.

I am guilty of all of the above.




Who else says "Huh? What was that noise?" (from Metal Gear Solid) when they hear something strange?

3. You've spent so much time playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater you actually taught youself how to skateboard.

Can't really tell if it was because of the game or because of my friends who all skateboarded.

13. You have ever tried to "double jump". Tried this when I was a kid but that was not really because of a video game though.


I started with running because of Sonic.
