Like the title says, post signs that you may be playing too much of .

Example:

A sign that you're playing too much Guitar Hero is when you close your eyes, and you still see moving coloured buttons.

My brother actually said that.

Before City of Heroes, I never had any interest in American Comic style drawings

Now thats the only style I ever draw in

My ears go red when I play to much.

at work we have flans (fruit cake thing) and I thought of the Final Fantasy monsters (especially the VIII ones) and I couldn't get it outta my head that it was CAKE, not a monster.

I've had the same problem with any puzzle game I play a lot. Tetris, Puzzle Quest, Lumines, Meteos, etc.

Yeah, that seems to be a universal feature of any game with a sort of "repeating environment" like that (as opposed to "action" games that try to replicate an actual thing).

Anyway, I'd say that you know you've played a videogame too much if you do something nifty on it and brag about it to your friends; even if they haven't played the games themselves.

I didn't see moving colored buttons, but the TV screen seemed awfully wonky, like it was growing or something. I can't remember what it was but I couldn't look at the TV for a while after I was done playing. I think it was because of the moving bar.


I was going to give an example for too much Katmari, but there really is no such thing. I think driving down the street imagining rolling everything up into a ball is perfectly fun and healthy. What's happenniiiiiing?!

Signs you've played too much of something

What? Did you just say "I know where you can find a green herb to heal yourself with after what those hunters did"? Where is it? *twitch*

I know exactly what you're talking about!
It's the a very similar effect to spinning in circles to make yourself dizzy, only everything is moving up instead of side to side.

I imagine any argument taking place in a courtroom, with Pheonix Wright and Edgeworth shouting "OBJECTION"!

Off topic: How the heck does that happen?

On topic: When you start getting headaches from playing through an entire dungeon in Twilight Princess in one sitting.

If you directly stare at that bar-thingy in Guitar Hero 2 throughout the song and then look at the wall, it will look like things are moving upwards or something like that. My friend kept doing it and getting dizzy.

I actually meant this in a comedy sense.

Like: "A sign you've played too much Zelda is when you go catching butterflies in bottles, thinking their fairies."

Something like that.

It's more fun to describe things that have actually happened to us I think since we've all probably had some weird experiences in the past.

I've actually seen the moving notes from Guitar Hero waaaay too many times. Plus one time after playing Super Mario Sunshine I think I used a water hose to try to hover myself into the air. Didn't work...I was sad.

When I started to learn the words to LocoRoco just from hearing them (if you haven't heard the music in LocoRoco the words ain't English and I'm not 100% sure they are real words...although if they are I've just insulted a language...wehay!)...that was a sign I've been playing for WAY too long...especially as I was only playing the 5 Demo's you can download and never touched the full game :-(

I relate with them all... And now I'm so geeky for posting this :cat: OBEY THE KITTY!

well way back when i was playing pokemon blue and was WAY to lazy to sit there and buy all the stuff for a pryorigon i spent about 10 houres playing the slots. it was about 8 am when i finaly stoped and by that time the screen was bluring when i rolled the slots. i woke up and every thing looked like it was spining up and down. i would have closed my eyes but then every thing in the room was put on a slot and started to roll. like a chair a desk a pencil my mom. it was insain.


so pretty much any time i play a game/book (somtimes if i read a book to much i'll narate to myself in my head) to much the two realitys start to fuse. mind you i havent seen any monsters yet but i will imagin my movement the same way you move in the game and wonder why we dont have any potions in the fridge.

i can't listen to Cowboys from Hell without instinctively fingering out the respective button colors on an invisible Guitar Hero guitar now.

True story. (and sad.)
