Today I was running to job through the city with my hood drawn up, it was cold so that was normal.
But, then I thought, wow, this is exactly like being that thief character of mine from Oblivion! And music from Oblivion started to sound in my head....
Thank God there was no NPC's.. I mean people on the streets at that time in the morning.

you know you've played to much Oblivion when you go to save a game and you've noticed that you played for 131:10:22 (I think that I love Oblivion Too much, hehe).

when you dream of talking to deadra and fighting in the planes of Oblivion

I was driving home from school and when i parked i was wondering why the space bar wasn't working and i wasn't dismounting.

When i was watching TV and thinking "hey that guy has a bumpmapping style the same as my orc's face."

I woke up and was so tired i was delerious and i wondered if i had a restore fatigue potion.

I put on my shoes which i thought were my boots of springheel jack and almost jumped to see how much higher i could get.

I was talking with my wife about my visiting mother-in-law and said to her that she hadn't raised her mother's disposition high enough yet.

I tried to pull the left trigger to block a soccer ball my son kicked at me and caught it in the groin instead.

Seeing spring flowers blooming and wondering what their alchemical properties are...

When you suddeny realise your wifes left you

I don't even have the game yet and I think that way (on rare occaisions).

man, this post made me wonder what my playtime was at... 203:32:55 was my last save... *sigh* lol
the thing is, i work a 50 hour work week on top of that @_@
now to finish the main quest before next tuesday (that's when the next final fantasy xi expansion comes out )

When I try to barter my sandwich down to a dollar at safeway.

When you think there are secret escape routes in prison cells.

When you stop and your face goes blank at random times, and you say to the person next to you afterwards, "Sorry, loading times are pretty bad, gotta upgrade"

When you wake up and your eyes aren't focused and you say "I wish this game had aniostrophic filtering.."

When you get in trouble by the cops and you yell "PLAYER DOT PAYFINE!"

You say lockpicking is a minigame of life.

When you sleep and then "level up"

You say working out is useless, as everyone else just gets stronger along with you.

When you go around literally wearing glass, for armor, thinking you are incredibly strong.

Someone picks something of yours up, and sets it back down, but you still call the police.

Good list, how about these

When talking to somebody you ask something they would never tell you, and they say something like, "pervert!" and you go, "wait wait wait, will you tell me for... 20 dollars?"

when you're playing a game and get tired so you go make a sandwich expecting to give yourself another 30 minutes of tireless play.

When you ask a bum where the best place to sell your stolen good would be at.

when you wear a cowl while doing something naughty then take it off as soon as a cop comes and walk away as though nothing happened.

after getting out the pool you wonder why you're all wet.

Real life women start looking really good.

You know when you played Morrowind too much when you feel like saving in real life. I've had that a couple of times.

lol me to,

i thought i save the game,
when i was shouting at my mom XD
gounted XD

honest to god, i woke up the other morning to my alarm... half out if it, of course... and i turned the alarm off and layed back down thinking "if i'm late for work, i can just reload my last save"
... i was late for work that day

Did that really happen

really really

sad, eh?

Lol! Nice examples of how things can go because of gaming

I think I need a serious amount of restore fatigue potion right now... I'm soooo tired... duh, how boring there's only energy drink here.

No not sad,quite amusing actualy!!!
Boss:Why are you late for work?I'l have to cut this of from your paycheck
Oblivion Player:I don't like this converstion *reload*

Heh, how about this:

"Well, I don't think we'll be able to hire you for this job, you just don't have the experience we're looking for."

You: "Joke, admire, boast, coerce, joke, boast, admire, coerce..."

"What the hell are you doing?"

"NOTHING'S WORKING! JOKE COERCE ADMIRE BOAST DAMMIT!"

Mugger: "Give me all your money or i'll beat the hell out of you"
Oblivion Player: "Aaaah! Summon storm atronach! Summon storm atronach! SUMMON DAMNIT! Flash bolt! TGM! TGM!"

My thing;


I was looking at the kitchen knife i was using to cut my ham and thought to myself i'll have to get a mod for bigger daggers...

I wish I had money for this soda...
>_> <_<
player dot additem zero zero zero zero zero f 1.00

Dang console! Never works!

walked outside in the day time, and instantly ran back in screaming about the sun burning my flesh.

i'm live at night though, might have something to do with it.

I got one:

After I booted my computer so my little sister could play I fell back to sleep. When I woke up about three hours later my first thought was. "Oh shoot I forgot to buy arrows back in Chorrol." Got a little scared there for a moment cause i was dreaming about being in a Fort ruin totally filled with Maruaders(sp?).

I've been dreaming about it most nights
Last night I dreamt an OB-type bear was mauling me but I kept fighting it because I was keeping it away from my dark elf wife

Been there...

A sign?

When you correct people that their weird sign is missing two 'zero's.

when you are sudenly awoken in the night and stab your mom in the chest.

i am currently in a corectional facility

??
Real/OB? Are you in a correctional facility for real, or just in OB?

I think it's a sign you need help, if not that you've played too much OB.

i think it may be one of these things referred to as a ....a....a joke?

Well, so was my response

However, it really wasn't clear exactly what Dirox was referring to....
And besides, they DO give incarcerated persons internet access in most states....

the proof is in your avatar.

yeah, they do. under supervision and all that. there are even prisoner work programs where they work with computers taking service calls for cell phone customers

on two different side notes-

I'm really happy to have found this forum, even if it's only been a few weeks. you people have made a really good comunity and it feels welcoming. glad you haven't given me the boot yet

and #2: huzzah! huzzah! the medicine my dentist gave me for the pain is finally starting to work. i had two crowns and two root canals today *OWIE* so glad i can fully close my mouth and maybe even talk a little

Glad to have you here - enjoy (I'm new too)!

Let's see.... I know another.
It took me so long to figure out how to display things properly in my Skingrad cases that I woke up yesterday and tried to walk to my hallway in my *real* house to look at it!

How do you display things properly???

Welcome to the forums you two.

With 360, you use the left bumper - if you're careful where you grasp the item, you can get it to lay down the way you want..... (EDIT: as I can see you already know from the discussion on the drag feature). Not a great method, but it's what we have...

I came here shortly before the release of OB and have really enjoyed the folks here so far!

When you are afraid of going in the sewers, as they might be filled with Goblins...

Wondering how long time it will be before you level up....happens tome all the time...

When you start calling peeps thing as "Fetcher" or "N'wha"...

if you steal something, and the police comes, you drop your loot, and ask if you can pay the fine...thinking "heh, I'll juts pick up my loot later"...I still dont know why that doesn't work...

You try to go into the sewers often eh tellie?

Hehe...I'd rather not talk about it...

Oh, something else, is when you're late for work, you begin to rummage trough your closet, or drawer, looking for a Scroll of Icarian flight...no seriously I did actually do that once...I was late, and I was quite moody yet,so I started actually yelling "where is the damn scroll"....I know stupid huh...

I was playing and my character was swimming and I held my breath...

When you are at the doctor for getting a disease and you just ask for a potion of cure disease

You can live your life without sleeping once, just waiting.

You never eat regularly, sometimes not at all.

When you think barney is a daedra.

You avoid crowds because of lag.

Its the weekend, you are going fishing. You are getting prepared. When you get to who you are going with they see you in a full suit of metal armor, and a claymore. Once you get there you get on the boat out into the middle of the lake, you pull out the claymore and dive into the water.

You know you've played to much Oblivion when...

you go to a bar or restaurant and try to order Cyrodilic Brandy

you fall asleep while playing the game

you skip school or work to play it

you think about what to do next with your character at work or school if you decided to go to work or school in the first place

you read all of the books in the game

you discover every location in the game

when you carry a flaming stick around in your pocket

when you stich glass to your clothes for armour

When you start collecting paper clips and reshape them and start hooking them together in the hopes of creating a suit of chainmail for yourself.

When your girl/boyfriends start to ask if it's not possible to make a Strong potion of Love...

when you draw argonians fighting stickmen on your pre-cal homework.

lol that would be freaking awesome...

tee hee ... don't laff. I've got these special round paperclips and I've considered it.

Lolololol

If it comes out, I will model it in a pic.

...your wife startles you as she gets into bed and you beging flailing wildly, wondering why your weapon won't damage this creature.

Sorry, honey.
