    You know you are addicted to World of Warcraft When....

    Why should the BF2 boys and girls have all the fun?

    http://www.tacticalgamer.com/battlef...field-2-a.html

    1. You are late for work, so you start looking for the Griffin Master.
    2. You start to think of 9-5 as an "Instance".
    3. Your boss starts to look Undead.
    4. You wish you could Demoralizing Shout your co-workers to get your point across.
    5. Someone says: lets go get lunch, and you almost grab your sword.
    6. You make another deadline and wonder how many more until you level.
    7. Daily activities become "quests."
    8. You see a sexy woman on the train, and wonder what she'd look like in Elven armor.
    9. You wish all interactions were as easy as /flirt
    10. You start to see crits for each point made during an argument with your spouse.

    And the winnah!
    11. Your wife says "If you ran everywhere like you do in game, just think how fit you would be!"

    -when you have 1200 threads to catch up on and filter through to the World of warcraft ones, and mark the rest as read.
    -You start referring to the big acheivements in life as "leveling up"
    -When you go out on saturday night and call it "hanging out with the guild"
    -When You have 400 posts at TG and all are in the WOW forum
    that sounds like a good idea trooper.

    You notice the cat's pink transparent plastic ball (about the size of a golf ball) with a bead inside as a noise maker and you think, "Hey, Gump sent me another fishing bauble!" (This actually happened a few days ago. )

    BTW, has anyone see "Fear of Girls", about the life of two RPG dorks?

    -when someone tries to start a fight with you, you reach into your pocket looking for a health and manna potions just in case.
    -When you are at work and run in to something and call it "lagging out"
    that sounds like a good idea trooper.

    Re: You know you are addicted to World of Warcraft When....

    1. You feel a strange apathy toward death, knowing the nearest graveyard isn’t THAT far away.
    2. Every so often, you start to strongly feel you need to re-buff yourself, or worse, you actually try.
    3. You expect your spirit and stamina to increase temporarily after lunch.
    4. When someone tells you they are wearing all blue or purple, you don’t in the least associate it with the visual color of their garments.
    5. In moments of boredom, you “/dance”. And you have it memorized.
    6. You would feel ruder making your group wait in the middle of an instance than you do not picking up that phone call from your mother.
    7. You feel naked without Power Word:Fortitude, Mark of the Wild, or Blessing of Might.
    8. You actually use “Elune be praised!” or “For the Horde!” in regular conversation.
    9. The sentence “60 lock LFG UBRS, LBRS or Scholo, PST” makes perfect sense to you, and is grammatically correct.
    10. You start thinking something is wrong when you drive several miles and don’t see a single skill node, chest, or quest turn-in show up.
    11. You get cravings for Alterac Swiss or Morning Glory Dew.
    12. You have tried to figure out your RL pet’s DPS, or worse, your own.
    13. You find yourself thinking in terms of aggro circles when walking or driving around other people.
    14. Your first reaction to losing money in a vending machine is “contact a GM”.
    15. You feel the urge to attack anyone wearing a red bandana, which is obviously a quest item. (ditto above)
    16. Your finger twitches madly for the “M” button when you lose your bearings.
    17. Nothing on your Christmas wishlist actually exists IRL.
    18. Purely out of habit, you promptly type “grats” after the microwave goes “ding”.

    - When your justification for buying a new computer with extra RAM is to reduce lag in Ironforge.

    - When you arrange your RL social calendar to avoid conflicts with guild raids.

    Re: You know you are addicted to World of Warcraft When....

    What is really really sad is that when I had my old computer running 256mb RAM and a 1.4g processor I would ALWAYS lag, and when I got off the computer I could swear that I was lagging in RL, as in I actually told my mom, One sec im lagging!
