You know you're a gamer if...

You know you are a gamer if...

While crossing a road, you tilt your head down and prepare to fire into the kerb stone to rocket jump over a parked car

A new office block/shopping centre is opened in your town, and your first impression of the biulding is the connectivity allows for spawn camping.

Going to get a soda from a drinks machine, you have to fight the momentary urge to smash its front off with a crowbar.

Family members show you photos of their holiday; you show them demos of your clanmatch.

The missing ceiling tile in the corner of your office may harbour a nest of headcrabs.

A news report is titled 'Quake Warning' and your first concern is that your favorite server has gone down.

Deciding to call it a night, you go to bed and close your eyes to find a purplish crosshair burnt into your retina.

You mouse is hidden under garbage and yet your using it still.

you start to sing-along to the modem when logging on to the internet

you can't remember the color of your wall next to your computer becuase of all the little yellow notes with logins & passwords written all over them.

you can't see the top of your game cd-rack on a cloudy day.

You look under the bonet of you car and get a shock when you see that your engine is held in by more than 1 screw and a wire.

You consider upgrading from a CD folder that holds 96 CDs to 200 CDs because you want to buy more games

You have your own bar fridge next to your computer so you dont have to go far for surplys

you buy a game, play it for 5 minutes, notice its crap, then throw it on the pile thinking `oh well , at least the box pile is bigger now.

you set the resolution on windows to 1600x1200 even though you cant read the tiny writing

your computer speaker syetem is biger than your sterio system.

you cant stand playing console games anymore because of the really low res adn refresh

you wake up early to beat the internet rushour

tunes start to pop up in your head from the days when you played Genesis ans SNES and people wonder what the hell your humming.

youve gotten your thumbs so sore from using a gamepad you can no longer bend them touch the pad, meaning your friend wins.

you develop a new system of touch typing which none but you can undersand how to do it.

youve got a cuboard full of old gaming magasines that beats the pants off your parents 50 year subscripion to national geographic pile of mags.

older people can no longer understand you properly because of the really bad english you have picked up from chatrooms,forums and online games.

you've got cables hanging all around for your 'surround sound'

you never have to read a game manual bcause you have a 6th sence for games controlls.

you dont really concider yourself a true gamer even though youve had more experience with games than a professor in his own field

you qoute monty python more than pres. kennedy...

you have drunk more in everquest than in real life...

you still humm the peter gunn 'spy hunter' music...

your best friends you only know as 'firedeath, killerteddy, and dungbat'...

You clean your mouse ball every 10 minutes so you get the best control

You have a personal vacuum for you mouse pad

After a bad day at work you think, man, I need to blow some people up

You become so involved with your desk after accidently ripping off some of its finish, that you decide to take a pair of scissors to the desk and peel the rest off.

You begin to wonder what is up with food

You pee into coke bottles or etc at your desk because you decide walking to the bathroom is just too far

You take all the keys off of your keyboard to clean it on a monthly basis

When trying to sleep images of people blowing up float in your head

You get annoyed with your family as they always cook when you are in a game.

You live on captain crunch cereal for a week.

You keep a spare cpu fan around just in case.
