Guild Wars 2

when you drive into a traffic jam on purpose cause you’re better off joining the zerg

When you blame culling after a car crash.

when you clocked over 950 hours

seeing a small/thin straight tree on/near/off to the side of the road and think, I need to go gather/chop for some wood. (Yes I’ve done this. Was probably only because it was a white birch tree, I hope anyways.)

when you refresh the official guild wars 2 forum atleast 50 times a day while being alt tabbed from the game.

when you see something physically pleasing and say “I’ll need to scout ALL this.”

When you sit on your sofa with a beer, waiting for the keg brawl play-off.

…when you’ve logged in.

When I Killed a Quaggan….

You know you’ve played too much Guild Wars when the word “Shiny!” takes on new significance and MUST be said in a Skritt voice.

When you work in the IT field and come across a never seem problem and you tell the user “This is rather rare”

When eating out you order Omnomberry Bars for dessert. Then run home and search the couch for loose change, uneaten M&Ms and a long lost remote control.

When your wife starts nagging you to rake up the leaves… and you didn’t even realize they’d fallen off the trees already.

When taking out the garbage I think to myself “I achieve things. I’m an achiever!”

When you look at buildings on your way to work and see possible jumping puzzles instead of your office.

While helping your friend move her couch you yell “I AM MIGHTY”.

When you go to classes and the first thing on your head is an asura voice saying “do you come seeking knowledge?”

When you ask fellow queuers if this DE is bugged when you have to wait a while in a shop queue.

When you see red circles every time you close your eyes.

When you go somehwere you’ve never been and the first words you utter are “i like new places” before wondering if the poi is broken because you did’nt hear the familiar ring.

When you are in an interview and all you can think is “this personal storyline step is abit longwinded” befoe wondering if there will be combat at some point (since there usually is in long winded story quests).

When you write a new resume/cv and have to redo it after you realise all you’ve done is write out a trait and skillbuild idea alongside a list of weapons and armour that would work well together.

When I try to dodge in TF2

When you see a plant or tree that looks like one of the realistic looking ones in game and immediately (in real life) want to go harvest it.

-when you see a cat you see a charr instead.
-when you finish your daily routine you said “it’s all skill and luck”
-when welcoming someone you said “more come, yes?” in a skritt voice

When you decide to name your first child Lucky Charms of Doom after your Immobulus scepter.

Here are my next five.

…you nickname your annoying boss Trahearne.

…you kill a c0kroach (=kittenroach but word filter) with a flame from your deodorant.

…you help someone out and wonder how much karma you gained.

…you open a letter and are shocked to find no coin inside.

…your mum tells you to go to bed and you reply with “But it’s still daylight in LA”.

When your excuse for not taking full 8 hour shifts is that “you will hit diminishing reaturns”

When your excuse for not taking full 8 hour shifts is that “you will hit diminishing reaturns”

When you fear your job is going to get nerfed soon because you are farming too much money.

When your boss offers you a raise, you fly into a rage and quit because it introduces “vertical progression”.

Boss.3072: Son, you’ve been doing a mighty fine job. I’d like to offer you, I say, I’d like to offer you a raise.
Employee.9012: Are you kidding me?! This is Dolyak kitten! I quit!
Boss.3072: (puts palm up to mouth and speaks to invisible audience) Something tells me this boy’s been playing a little too much Guild Wars 2
(sorry, couldn’t resist)

Haha! I love this thread.
When you try to salvage your old jewelery it into orichalcum.
When a colleague is outperforming you and you report him for botting.
When you get into a physical fight and worry about how much your armor repair costs will be.
When you see a hooded creep on the street and just assume he is an undercover member of the order of whispers.

When you start overusing the word ‘Shiny!’ (fyi i’ve been using it in that context for years, origional idea came from FFVI’s Gau)

…when you look for a period and 4 numbers at the end of every name you see.

watch the ledges

Something tells me you watch too many bad sitcoms. holds hand up to mouth then realizes he’s not a middle aged woman shocked by a flasher and removes his hand

let me re-interpret your suggestion though :P

Boss.3072: Son, you’ve been working part time here for months, we’re aware that you told us you’re limited to how many hours you can work, but I’m afraid that we have to ask you to work full time, if you don’t like this change up, then I’m afraid that your best option is to quit.
Employee.9012: Woah hold on a minute, when you hired me right out from under my old boss you told me that the hours would be flexible and short and that I’d be treated differently than your other employees at your other factories! so you’re basically doing what you said you wouldn’t do when you hired me!
Boss.3072: We feel this direction is better for the company regardless of your feelings and we reserve the right to start moving in this direction, and plenty of our other employees see no problem with this
Employee.9052:OMG, I’m so sick of employee’s complaining about the changes in hours and pay cuts! this job is better than no job! sure I could make more money on benefits, or work another job for twice the pay. But this is insert company name here
Employee.5670: Another one of these whinge employees?? ugh why don’t you just quit like the other thousands of employees, or join the picket line outside that just formed full of those hundreds of thousands of disgruntled workers! complainer!
Boss.3072: UH OH! looks like we have another whinge dialogue going here, better ignore the issues he raised and lock you all out of my office and possibly suspend you all cue audience laughter

You know you play Guild Wars 2 too much when… you expend the effort to take someone’s harmless comedy and transform it into an ideological rhetoric.

You know you play Guild Wars 2 too much when… you expend the effort to take someone’s harmless comedy and transform it into an ideological rhetoric.

The irony being I logged into GW2 for about an hour or three roughly a week ago, and haven’t logged back in since. I think mines less “been playing gw2 for too long”
and more “been watching great potential in games being wasted for too long”

But back to the comedy!

You know you’ve been playing GW2 for too long, when you can’t be bothered to bake cookies because the end result feels pointless compared to the materials used to craft them, thus you sit in your pajamas eating raw cookie dough from a tube.

I should of known better than to think I could simply have a fun conversation in the forums without a wild troll appearing

When you’re at the mall and the top you want is to expensive so you ask the cashier if they have a dungeon you can run that will provide a similar skin!

You know you play too much Guild Wars 2 when you set your alarm at the time the daily resets so you can do your dungeon runs and daily.

When your diary becomes more about your character than you.

or

You spent more time on min/max spreadsheets in excel for your character than you do on your taxes.

1163h over the past 3 months …. need I say more …

When you realise you’ve played the game to much and switch to the forums which you also spend to much time on so switch to other GW2 related sites and then finding something interesting that you want to check so turn the game back on instead of going to bed…

When taking out the garbage you think to yourself ‘This is where my legend begins’

When I finish eating a healthy snack and scream out “FOR GREAT JUSTICE” in a public place.

When you close your eyes for a moment while commuting to work and you see undiscovered points of interest. True story.

When you yell ‘Sons of Svanir’ instead of ‘Son of a B***h’

when you see a mole heap in your garden and think- ooohhhh no- Dredge!

Here are another 5 from me:

…your dog takes a dump and you respond with “That is one rich node.”

…every time you hear the word “grind” it reminds you of GW2.

…while sitting on the toilet you desperately search for TP on the TP.

…you decide to use the cooks discovery pane to make dinner for your wive/girlfriend.

…as the first person to stand on mars your first words are “The world explorer completion is still bugged!”

…Whenever your chatting to friends online you press enter before you type anything.

When you see Cameron and Osbourne laugh on tv and “Shout I am Furious!”
err…. I do that anyway.

When you hear birds singing and you look around for the bearbow (kudzu)

sorry for necro… But this happened to me today
