… When you see your wife and think “not puzzle jumping again!”.

That’s a common complaint actually. That someone jumps too much from one spot to another without knowing where they are going,, takes the wrong route and has to backtrack then falls off and dies and lies there calling for a rez. What really annoys me is when they open the chest at the end and complain about the rewards after.

We are talking about puzzle jumping, right?

What is weird is when you make the wrong jump but you still find a reward chest.

You see the word kitten and have stopped trying to decipher it. You now accept ‘kitten’ as a legitimate swear word.

And you’ve been playing GW2 waaaaaay too much when:
You think kitten should be bleeped out if someone says it in chat, because it’s offensive.

Something I actually do now, I have taken and used Trahearne’s quote “This won’t end well”, in multiple situations.

When you see a sign or flag above buildings/storefronts/homes and think of ways to get to that vista.

Don’t you mean: “This well won’t end….”?

I know this JP, it’s in Lions Arch!

“Whose Kitten is this?” – “It’s a Charr baby.”
“Whose Charr is this?”- “Ted’s.”
“Who’s Ted?”- “Ted’s dead, baby. Ted’s dead.”

…When whenever you fight with a sword, you go ‘I swung a sword. Hey, I swung a sword again, that’s great!’

…When your 6 year old cousin -who is in love with you- wantd to pluck a rose for you, but is oblivious to the danger of thorns. You consider your 4 options:

  1. make a ‘That rose has thorns, and there they are!’ remark, before he cuts himself.
  2. Wait for him to cut himself, and then yell “Agony, torment, pain!” to proc Restorative mantras.
  3. Say ‘hey look, a rainbow!’, to use the diversion shatter, which procs shattered concentration and removes retaliation from the rose.
  4. Wait for him to be cut, but revive him. (Touch with your finger, and tell the child it’s magic.)
    Choose wisely!

I’m about to make a poll of that… The ‘how well can you use your gw2 skillz in real life’ poll :D

When you wish you have waypoints between your house, your school and your workplace. And basically anywhere you need to be.

Sounds great! Except for the school and workplace part.

You have a dream that you get a precursor from a package you open, and you aren’t even trying to get a Legendary in the game.

Similar thing happened to me. I had a dream I went into pvp and forged the Dwayna longbow…. and when I woke up, I had to try. I only had enough for 2 tries…. but I got it!

I dream of gw2 a lot…. I just figured everyone did.

Here’s a simplified (so it’s not a massive 1 hour long wall of text) version of one I had, straight from my journal :D

14th of march, 5AM-6AM

I had a false awakning. For some reason I forgot to do a reality check, but instead jumped out of my bef and made a run for the toilet… But the water was blue, and it wqs actually a mystic toilet, so I tripped and fell in it. Moments later I was the sword twilight, in the movie Twilight, so I cried for whatever reason, and yelled at someone to ‘please stop the torture!’.

Then I was in Lion’s arch, some charr warrior was wielding me, ann i heard the By Ogden’s hammer, what savings! remix.

Then someone changed my stats, removed 50 power and added 50 evil, which was enough to make me the next scarlet.

I hot someone with my pew pew laser, but he didnt die for whatever reason, even though it was a headshot. I pressed F to finish him but he urgently yelled ‘wait! You’re dreaming!’. BOOM! Super explosive finisher.

I stared at the stranger’s blockified (because it was the aab finiaher) body, having completely forgot what he just said. Then Grouch appeared: ’I’m dissapointed in you, twilight’. I answered: ‘_oh no, Grouch, you’re my favourite dev! Is there anyway I can redeem myself?’_.

He typed 2 lines of code and made me allied to the blockified stranger. (Yes… Duelling is that easy) ‘you know what to do’, he said, whereafter he placed down a smoke bomb and rocket booted away.

I kneeled down near the blockified stranger to fondle (revive) him, but he suddenly became alive and grabbed me at the throat! His skin looked like that of a risen, his eyes were glowing bright red. I was frozen in place by fear… He slowly opened his mouth, and with a decayed and moaning voice spoke: ‘YOU… Are dreaming.’.

WOOSH. My surroundings shifted into focus. I felt a soft breeze and sunlight over my skin, accompanied by a "woosh"ing sound. It felt like I had a sudden revelation. It’s like a new world has opened, where anything is only limited by your imagination, and creativity… It’s begging to be explored!

Bla bla bla. insert boring story of me doing amazing, unimaginable things here

I still don’t know why we couldn’t get guild capes, they said in the beginning they had worked on that, but had clipping issue. Almost 2 years later, nothing.

Not complaining but who wouldn’t trade to have a cape instead of a guild back pack.

Well I’m playing Diablo III again instead of GW2 since the expansion is out, and I can tell you I played it too much when someone faint (like, real blackout) in the crowd at a hot day during a festivity, and I expected an orange pillar of light to rise to the skies.

Some will get it, some will not.
