You know you are a gamer when....

[Swaki]

when you freak out when people spot you in the dark because something in the back of your mind tells you that in a minute the whole army is coming after you.

when your not afraid of smoking cause theres gotta be a potion for it out there.

when you walk around a town asking people questions you actually think they will answer and their answers will be useful.

also when you sit around whit your family and instead of just realizing we have nothing in common my mum insist on talking about exercise and i need to do it more, my brother about football and how we should all try playing some games and me about videogames and how they all need to play more, and we take turns boring each other and then i take the train home and wonder why i keep using 25 euro every month taking the train to the country when they refuse to come into the city, seriously ive lived there for 4 years and they have yet to come here besides my 18th and 20th birthday, i mean we all know that right?.

The theme on your phone makes different beeping sounds for each button you hit and you took the time to learn how to play the tetris theme by pressing those buttons. (My mate has actually done this.)

...Hearing the theme music to the game you've been playing everywhere

 

[bipeo]

(this one actually happened to me)
When you wake up and are concerned that the crosshairs are missing.

when you walk into people's houses and are surprised that they want you out.

when you are surprised that not every rumor you ask about is 100% true.

 

[DarkxReaper56]

When you Shop for clothes at Jinx.com
When you dream that you are a game character
When all your base are belong to me
When you try to adjust your real life Sensitivity settings
When you drop something and you see a large "X" signifying the start of a quick time event

 

[Insanum]

When the number of times you have been laid is less than the number of hours you have spent on WoW.

 

[philzibit]

When your home alone with your girlfriend and instead of having sex, you ask if she wants to play N64.

She said no.

 

[redsoxfantom]

When you drop something, get irritated, and decide there should be a new physics engine in this universe.

Most of the time when I screw something up, I look for the "undo" command for a second before I remember where I am.

 

[MiserableOldGit]

...when you walk into a cornershop, buy a Mars bar, and hold it up in the air while going dahdahdah DAAAH

...or when you force feed a car crash victim your Mars bar in an attempt to heal them.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

You put obscure game references in most of your conversations.

I do that in excess.

 

[Twilightruler]

You actually go the /v/ threads on 4chan. Also when you spend 5 hours in your friends basement recording a jazz version of the casino nights song from sonic 2...

That would own!!! I'd buy that. I love Jazz, and Sonic.

[Julianking93]

When you have gaming soundtracks and you start greeting people like you would in Oblivion.

I was at Subway once and when the girl said "Have a good day" when I left, I said "Blessings of Akatosh upon ye"

I stopped for a second to think about what I had just said. It wasn't even on purpose, I just said that like it was normal.

 

[WraithPrince]

When you construct additional Pylons.

 

[Aesir23]

When you sit in a line in front of EB Games for 3 days in the dead of a Canadian winter (in -45C) just to get a new game you've been excited about for the past few months.

And no I have not done this, I'm a little odd but not full out insane.

 

[DemonI81]

When driving down the road, you lead oncoming cars and "hit" the trigger button to blow them off the road with your tank.

 

[Hazardlife]

Something goes wrong and you want to reach for the quickload button.

 

[WraithPrince]

Something goes wrong and you want to reach for the quickload button.

or if your very nerdy hotkey.

 

[joe182]

When you hear a cool song and think "I wonder what this would be like on guitar hero"

THIS. All the time.
Also, when your friend is playing Guitar Hero & you're watching, moving your fingers as if you were still playing.
