Alright then...compare that picture to this...

It might not be *that* similar, but it was still shocking. I saw that guy on this year's Eurovision and I was scared at the resemblence.
But, others may not think so.

 

When you ask a girl out and she refuses, you blame it on a failed Persuade check.

 

When you want to reload after screwing something up in real life. (done)

When you refer to potentially interested members of the opposite sex as romantic NPCs. (done)

When you think of alignment restrictions in real life. (done)

When you calculate your stats in real life. (done)

When you think about real life happenings in D&D terms, such as skill tests, stats etc. (done)

When you finish something and feel as if you have just accomplished a side-quest. (done, sort of)

When you try to detect evil, chaos etc in real life. (done)

When your gf can't wait to play BG2 again.

 

You accuse the RNG of cheating when you screw up.

 

When you start chanting the "words" to the sleep spell when your children are driving you nuts.

When you quote Boo to your boss.

When your wife hides all the play discs to your games.

When you try to level-up after a hard night at work.

When you put extra money in the plate at church hoping to raise your reputation.

 

When filling an application forms for credit cards or etc., you sometimes wrote "Paladin" or "Wizard" in the blank space for occupation.

You always carry a small pouch... in case you picked up some gems.

You pick friends based on their skills.

 

You think that God is a DM.

 

When you need an umbrella to survive a walk in the summer sun.

 

Been there to

 

When having a nice conversation with someone, you say '' Wow this dialogue I'm having with you is well written ''

You start filling and enjoying this kind of threat

You still play BG2 in nearly 2006

You visit daily www.sorcerers.net

When you like the voice of someone you wonder who made the voice of this person

When speaking with a foreigner you're mad that the a translation hasn't been done

When someone speak badly you say '' Damn Engrish Translation! ''

When you want to lock your door you look at the lock and say loudly '' I lock this door! '' and then go away, without actually locking the door

You play a RPG in a setting named '' Real Life; The game 2005 Edition ''

When seeing a lighted lightbulb you wonder who casted eternal light on it

You wished you knew how to change your characteristic with that Hex-editing thingy

When you need glasses, you say '' Damn my video card is displaying the game in a blurry way ''

You wonder if you will have the right system requirement for your next birthday Expension

You think each birthday is an expension pack for you

Also I would like to say; if any of you actualy did any of what I said you're having a SEVERE Problem go see someone

 

Uh-oh...

 

LMAO

 

You wonder how many ranks in bluff you have

When trying to fool someone and fail, you say you failed your bluff check

You do something stupid because you think in rl you can save and reload, which isn't the case. (I've done this...)

 

You wonder why you don't hear "You Must Gather Your Party Before Venturing Forth" when leaving a place.

 

yea or you wait for your "party" when about to enter a new place, to avoid hearing that anoying sentence

 

When you see a shirt or bumper sticker that says "Jesus Saves" you laugh because he must have had an insane reflex/will/constitution modifiers.
(even though he is a fictional character lol... >.>)

 

You think anyone you hear about but have never met to be fictional.

 

Now, now Gnarf; don't get your dander up.

...When you realize that thrown bat guano can clear a room even without the accompanying Fireball.

...When you think of rose petals as a way to put someone to Sleep rather than being romantic.

...When you start figuring out stats for your relatives. (The number of languages my uncle knows puts his INT at 19 by 2e rules! )

...When your richest relative buys a new house, and you have to help take the wheels off of it. (Sorry, I don't know how that "You might be a redneck..." joke slipped in there. )

...When actually create a character to mimic yourself exactly.

 

...When you turn to serve someone at work and realise you're somehow halfway feeling like you're going through dialogue (as in, pre-written conversations.)

I've done this more than once. Even scarier is how real (or, paradoxically - fake) it feels.

...When you dont need a reference to know that Fireball requires bat guano. (Sorry Felinoid )

 

...When in a meeting with your boss, you panic at the absence of a "[Force Persuade] You want to pay me double" option...
