    -When you assume that your room-mate, your family, and your soon-to-be brother-in-law know when updates on Throne of Bhaal are made.
    -When you sneer at your philosophy professor and state, "I must meerly master my conscience and this nightmare shall cease!"
    -When you search the new-age stores downtown to find a dealer in quality daggers and katanas.

    I was thinking about adding "Lotus" to that last entry, but...nah.

    ROTFLMAO, Bowie!

    -When you think at 3:00 pm on Friday: "Hey, I might just put aside my current save game (Chapter 6) to start a new one (you like to see how a certain party would work)", and you suddenly realise that it's Monday 2:00 am and you know you need to go to sleep because you have to go to work in 6 hours.
    You look at your screen and see a lvl 16 party who is in the beginning of Chapter 4 and you have done every side quest imaginable.
    - When your grandmother sais "You are crazy. You have lost your mind."
    - When your friend calls you on Saturday to ask what's up, and you laugh in the phone; after that your friend sais "Ok, I got it. Maybe if we decide to go out I'll call you"

    When you roll a dice to see if your lock-picking-skills are good enough to open the door of your house :)

    When you use trap-detection when you enter a building.

    When you think you can get every chick with your Ring of Human Influence :)

    When you always walk with a giant-hamster in your coat :)

    Your co-worker gets a promotion that you were in line for, just because he's been showing up to work and you haven't, so in front of the entire company you call him "a *#&%ing Real Life(tm) Powergamer!"

    When you see a panther in the zoo and you're trying to cast magic missile at him...

    -When the only reason left for not doing evil is the fact that flaming fist enforcers may appear out of no where and kill you where you stand.
    -You walk around just outside your town wearing a leather tunic, going around killing animals, to get your xp up.

    When a friend points out that despite all your ravings, magic isn't real and you blame the Cowled Wizards.

    When a real life romance goes cold and you think you might be able to rekindle it just by sleeping one night out in the open.

    You have spent a great deal of time and put a lot of thought into exactly what all the people around you would be on Faerun, including yourself. This means you know exactly what class/race/equipment and weapon they would have/be. You also know how they could best reach that goal from their current non-magical state.
    Example 1: ‘Hmm…that short guy who works down in the basement as a programmer; he’s bald…shy…good at figuring things out…very intelligent…apparently likes being hidden away in dark holes…he would clearly be a gnome mage!’

    Example 2: ‘I have high charisma and dexterity. Can’t be a Paladin, not strong enough. Can’t sing worth beans to be a bard… I’m good at getting what I want..I now! A thief! I can see my outfit now, black leather…I would just have to work on detecting traps…hmm…’

    (Look around you and you’ll see people who clearly look like they CAME from Faerun! That big tall guy who appears clueless? Clearly a barbarian beserker. That man who leaches ideas from everyone and makes them his own, sucks the advancement potential right out of your career? Clearly a chaotic evil necromancer.)

    When you try to imprison your little brother because he's irritating you, save in the thought that you can cast a "free" spell on him as soon as you're missing him...
