I know I've played too much (any game) when I dream about playing that game in my sleep.

Usually takes about 8 hours of gaming to get that done.
Which usually means it' a new game too.

Had this dream I was Zerg and I kicked some Terran butt, but then he SUDDENLY had more stuff every time I killed everything he had. But it was ladder/melee so it shouldn't have been possible.
