    You know you've been playing too much BG2 when...

    Your Grade Point Average plummets 10 percent... and you don't care!

    You go to sleep at 2:00AM and get up early to continue where you left off

    You have an exam you haven't studied for later that same day... and you don't care!

    Your friends wonder where you've been. You reply "Faerun," and they ask, "Is that in Europe?"

    You start walking like Jon Irenicus

    You do full body stretches morning, noon, and night

    You wonder how far you'd get playing solo

    Your girlfriend's name is Aerie


    Well, that's all I can think up right now. More will be forthcoming.

    how about when you find yourself talking in a ridiculously exaggerated Scottish accent - even when you're Scottish yourself, just to sound more like a dwarf.

    Or to continue Ironbeard's theme - when you start typing in an exagerated Scottish accent in the chat room. When you start thinking about your next career move and consider things like sorcerer, barabrian then get sad that your 'stats' aren't appropriate. When every other game seems a bit dull in comparison. When you are happy to 'just browse' in the shops in the game. When you really start to worry about you love for Jaheria and whether it means you are being unfaithful to Annah in Planescape (who also has a lovely Scottish accent). Or possibly even worse, when you notice that you can remember seeing similar interesting topics months ago.... check out the following for more ideas:

    I think the rrolled Rs in my posts arre a case in point
    -When you start calling Scotland Thurm and Japan Kara-Tur
    -When you say "dropped one Int point" when you do something stupid
    -When you call belching a "turnip reflex"

    -When you try to find fire on a periodic table
    -(supplementary) when you look at a periodic table and think "plane of hydrogen, I'd like to go there"
    - When a wooly hat becomes a hat of woolieness and you refer to everything that way
    -When you say "by Moradin's hammer" whenever you're surprised
    -When you spend your free time thinking of things to post in this topic

    When you look at your Screenshots folder and see that there are 250 in-game screenshots there. Btw, that will be made into a gallery and posted here at SP. ;)

    ...When you beat a kid up when he steals a candy from his little sister, saying: "Jump on my sword while you can Evil, I won't be so gentle"...

    - when you start saying "away with you beggar" to customers...
    - when you start threatening your colleagues with "consuming their juicy flesh and condemning their frail mortal souls to the abyss" at random (...hmm... wait, that was more like PST...)

    You go for a walk in a park and wonder why you don't see blue circles around the squirrels you see there.

    When an attractive woman asks you a question, you reply only with the answer that will sooner get you laid.
