That happens to me as well. I also tries to check up my opponents status by pressing tab, not so smart.

~You spend your nights searching in vain for "Drow Porn" on the web.

~The most threatening line you can think of before a fight is, "I'll kick you in the head... make you dead."

~You bring a backpack full of junk to the Clerk in CVS and ask if he can "IDENTIFY" these objects.

~You write a long and elaborate letter to Nike, outlining your proposal for the development of "boots of speed".

~You walk into the women's locker room, thoroughly convinced that your "ring of invisibility" has rendered you undectable.

~Before going down on your girlfriend you hear the phrase, "A den of stinking evil! Cover your noseholes.." echo in your head.

~You refrain from using a knife when you eat for you feel it violates your Clerical ethos.

~You call your sister on the phone and ask her about her fondest memories of Gorion.

...when everything you can say when you're pissed are quotes from Edwin. Or say to your friends at work/school: "Couldn't we have hired some poor fools to do this for us?"

...when you meet a particularly ugly or annoying person, you show him your "holy symbol" (a cell phone or a calculator, for example) and hope that he'll run away.

...when you start to talk and act like Jan Jansen. (this includes telling wild stories about your relatives, like telling your friends that your grandmother had a pet shadow dragon who could roll, play dead and fetch dwarves)

<<~You spend your nights searching in vain for "Drow Porn" on the web.>>

-After reading this, you became curious and actually did a search just for the hell of it.

-Disappointed by the lack of Drow porn on the web, you copy erotic pictures of 'dull' human women into Photoshop, then cut and paste Viconia's head onto their bodies, and color their skin blue.

-Convinced you can now corner the Drow Porn market, you envision a new website to display your work... [url="http://www.drowbitches.com"]www.drowbitches.com[/url]

-You find out that that domain name is already taken(by me).

You replace your calendar for thing like birthadays, etc. with:
Date of Tob release
Date of NWN release
date of BGIII release

- You actually clicked on [url="http://www.drowbitches.com"]www.drowbitches.com[/url] in the last post
- Ppl find you talking to your pets, ordering them around, etc. When one of your (fifteen) pets dies, you get sick and never fully recover
- Upon seeing your girlfriend getting beaten up by ten ogres, you exclaim "I must defend my witch!!!" and go crazy. After the battle is over, your girfirend is dead, you are all of a sudden feeling a lot worse, but the pain of her loss is soon forgotten as ytou find a cleric.
* Oops!! This is only a dream *

- you start browsing the hex code of the program for that "hidden scene" where you get it on with the Drow priestess.

- You scavenge fairs, etc. for weapons, then angrily question the shopkeep about not posting their "stats". You agree to calm down if he shows you his "secret wares".

LMAO at that "Finger of Death" one!

Your best friend says "I can break an arm and a leg for a copper or two"

You gather all your remotes in the house and go looking for some guy named cromwel so he can make a remote +1

You call your girlfriend "Aerie" when she starts to whinge again.

Some More:

When you go to sleep you dream of your childhood friend saying "You will come to late" and wake up screaming "IRENICUS!!!"

When you go to the shops you get your friend whose more charasmatic to see if they can get it for a better price.

You put a red piece of plastic over your torch so it looks like infravision when you walk around at night.

When you go to a bar, you order a swig of a strong dwarven ale and expect to hear the latest rumour.

You know how to defeat Kangaxx the demi leech without a protection from magic scroll, bring down firkraag without even breaking a sweat and destroy fields of mindflayers with but a click of the mouse, yet you still cant program the VCR.

When someone say's Thaco, you immediately think ability to hit, rather than a mexican food dish.

You reverse your name so it sounds like it came from the forgotten realms, like Frank become knarf, patrick becomes kcirtap etc etc...

You've soloed a jester.

Your closest friends are the people you know on the message boards

when you read and post topics such as:
best npc for a wife
best npc for a husband
best female npc body.

even bigger sign you are addicted:

you have strong opinions about any of the above mentioned topics
I would be a serial killer if i didn't have such a strong distaste for manual labor

Ok, must try. What an entertaining thread!


Your partner, husband wife, boy/girl friend violently prods you awake in the middle of the night demanding to know who Jaheira/ Anomen etc. is.

You quick save before sex......just in case...

You think about drinking a potion of genius just before writing an exam, and then consider casting haste while writing it.

You try to summon elementals and skeleton warriors if you get into a fight.

If you think that everybody owns 3 copies of the same book.

If you go to sleep shortly after performing any task.

If your answer to any question is "if you insist"

If every 10 minutes you yell out "This is not for the Avariel" or "I have got to get out of this place"

if you actually try to carry a little blue bag full of chain mail armor and misc weapons, while wearing full plate armor, weilding three weapons and a shield, a gigantic helmet, and carrying a back pack with 5 potions, 4 quivers of arrows, not to mention the 3 quivers that are equiped at your side, misc armor and weapons, and it all adds up to 500lbs.... Then you try to kick the crap out of 5 bikers, 2 fat guys with shotguns, and a priest...... And the only thing that does not make sence to you is why the priest does not cast any spells
