Signs that you need a break from Gaming: Mir's 1337 guide.

1) You wish you could relearn your talent points irl (in real life).

2) You find yourself thinking in terms of quests: Find an earning on the floor, return in to the girl, gain experience points/reputation/quest continuation.

3) You're constantly coming up with ridiculous ideas on how to get from one place to another very quickly. I.e- hmmmm I'll jump over that stream with a wall tap, double jump, and come down rolling . . .

4) You wish you could stealth irl so people wouldn't bother you about gaming too much.

5) As you take part in a conversation you maintain a mental "combat log":
Hot Girl begins to cast "low cut shirt"
You are afflicted by "staring like an idiot"
Hot Girl begins to cast "raised eyebrows"
"Staring like an idiot" fades from you
You are afflicted by "embarrassment"

6) You resent your failure to summon an epic mount from your backpack.

7) You attempt to cram 90 items of crap into your backpack.

8) You spend more time gaming than doing anything else.

9) When in an arguement with someone you ponder logging on your "main" to show them who's the boss. Then realize you are your main.

10) You wish rl vendors would pay gold for the rl rocks and sticks you find!

I'm not kidding folks, these are serious signs, beware them!
