You know you're a gamer if...

[Burningsok]

When your hands severely cramp up and you get muscle spasms in your wrists. Damn does it suck.

 

[Oomii]

When you find a pocket full of bobby pins, and no locks to pick.

 

[Continuity]

When you take a weeks holiday from work and play games 16 hours a day, every day.

When you are forced to choose between your girlfriend and your computer... and choose the computer.

You buy at least 20 new games a year.

At least once you've accidentally played a game all though the night and got no sleep, without realising how late it was.

Your dreams are like computer games.

 

[Mr Metzger]

When you phone in sick to work on the day that GTA IV or Modern Warfare 2 came out..... and the day after

 

[snowman6251]

Probably said already but when your first instinct to fix something is to blow on it.

"Ubisoft" is a company, not badly phrased bad news in bed.

 

[Blindswordmaster]

You might be a gamer, if you play manhunt and look for your visibility meter.
When you get a moose to go aggro on you. (based on a true story)
You get an intelligence boost after reading a book.
You eat chicken to heal.
You quicksave before driving.
You call going to the gym, grinding.
You join the army and ask if you can multi-class.
You only own t-shirts you bought off of the internet.
You hit a guy and hear,"Finish Him!"

 

[lacktheknack]

When you walk around in the real world, admiringly the high framerate, texture resolution, and real-time reflections.
yup, this has started happening to me, and it's quite disturbing.

That's more of a PC gaming thing, than anything else.

 

[Nautical Honors Society]

If you ever get into a fight you initially move in slow motion then on impact return to real time.

You know you are a gamer when you understand that.

[NOT WILL]

when you start to see red on walls after playing through mirrors edge in one sitting

When you refer to your possessions as 'Items', and your hand luggage as your 'Inventory'.

 

[Xyliss]

You know you're a gamer if you've stopped watching TV because there are better things you could be wasting your time on that also has a screen.

Yea, I worked in a school for a couple of months and found it really hard considering the conversation in the staff room was mostly about tv from the night before...most of which I spent playing games thinking nothing on tv is worth me stopping playing this.

[Nouw]

When you hear the sounds in real life.
