How to know when you've been spending too much time playing
games and in the Internet ?
So far it wasn't easy, but thanks to the test developed by
Dr.K1cker back in 1998, for all ages, if you fit in at least in
50% of the situations, follow my advice: Drop it...
1. When someone comes into your room, starts talking to you and
you tell him to shut up with a "Shush!!" and say in a whisper
"There's a guy up there and I'm trying to sneak up on him..."
2. When the door behind you shuts and you look back to find out
if it's a teammate or an enemy.
3. When you are driving in your car and start looking at the
valleys and hills searching for sentries.
4. When you feel bad because you don't have ICQs or emails as
soon as you start the computer.
5. When you begin introducing your wife to other people as
mywife@home.com
6. When you play against your children and start winning games
in a row.
7. (Serious case - When afterwards you start mocking them)
8. When you see a fire and look around for the pyro that did it.
9. When you buy a playstation for the kids so you can spend more
time at the computer.
10. When you begin calling yourself "Master of the Universe".
11. (Really Serious Case - When you make business cards with the
title).
12. When you begin making lists of the creatures you have killed.
13. When you plan your vacations and can't decide between Nebula
7 or Psydon.
14. When your wife sends you an email saying that the dinner is
ready.
15. When you see a plane in the sky and think "Hummm....Bet I
could hit it if I had my sniper rifle".
16. When lights are out and you call the Company asking to put
it back quickly because your teammates are dying.
17. When someone says something to you and you answer "Roger
That!", wait a few seconds and ask "Did You Copy That ?".
18. When you look through your window and start making plans for
a better sentry placement.
19. When you insult your teammates in a loud voice for standing
in the way.
20. When someone wants your attention and you say "Just a
moment. Wait till I die".
21. When the wife, the children, the pets and the croaches leave
the room in a hurry when you start your computer.
22. When the neighbours complain for the noise you children do
and you don't have children.
23. When you look through the window and think "What resolution
is this ?".
24. When you find out what's on TV in the Internet instead of
buying the TV Guide.
25. When you come home and start your computer before you take
off your coat.
26. When the garbage men look like zerglings.
27. When you go for a drive and try to find the best angle to
shoot the guy in the car ahead.
28. When you wish you could place some pipe bombs on a bar's
exit, just because someone stepped on your feet.
29. When you talk more with your fingers than with your throat.
30. When you see a bird and think "Humm...So small, so light and
fast, must be a scout".
31. When you see a car just like yours and think "Is it a spy ?".
32. (Extremely Serious Case - When afterwards you kick it just
to make sure).
33. When your dreams are the follow-up of the last game you've
played before going to bed.
34. When you go out and take a rocket launcher hidden in your
trenchcoat and think "One never knows...".
35. When you go for a walk in the country and start zigzagging
while crossing a bridge, because of the snipers.
