Thought we should have our own of these but can only think of a few so please contribute. you've been playing adventure games too long when.... ....You refer to your pockets as, 'My inventory' ....You do a search on your computer for the word walkthru and find 76 results ....You check Gameboomers each morning before breakfast/coffee/cigarette/feeding the dog/cat/family .....When asked for directions to the station, it's not just, Down the road and turn right; it's, Along this tree lined, victorian looking, avenue under the bright glow of the electric lighting in a northerly direction towards the junction at the far end. Upon reaching the crossroads with the old weather beaten and dilapidated hotel on the corner there is a road leading west which heads towards the centre of town and a road leading eastwards towards the train station. You wust turn in an easterly direction and proceed along this......etc, etc

Also you have definitely been playing to long when every time you enter a room you look for alternative exits. ALso when your idea of financial planning is limited to charting all the future releases month by month and drawing up a budget projection so you can make sure you can BAAG all of them. Laura

...when you finish asking someone a question, you ask again just to see if you get a different answer. or, even worse...when everytime you looke at something, you say the same thing. like, you wake up every morning, look at you bedside drawer and say: "It's my bedside drawer. There's nothing of interest inside.". cheers!
I would give out a kidney if LucasArts started making some good adventures again.

You know you've been playing Adventure games too long when... Dinner for 4 consists of TV Dinners served WELL done at 8pm.... Your smallest child thinks his/her name is "Just a sec." Every scrap of paper within reach has some sort of hieroglyphic, mayan symbol, rune, or maze drawn upon it...including the phone bill. When faced with the dilema of being locked out of your car you think about using the fish you just bought as a means of opening it. Each person you know in real life you silently associate with an in-game character. Including yourself.
It's a hard-knock life. Wear wooden underwear.

First, hello to everyone. It's my first post, so don't expect a brilliant answer, but, well, there it goes. In my experience, you've been playing an adventure for too long when you start to fear for your own life and watch around just to check nothing unusual things are taking place when Gabriel K.(I mean, me; no, I mean the character) is in a dangerous situation...

You know you're playing too many adventure games when you automatically look for strange things on the ground to click on! Or when you want to pry up a sewer lid to see what's hidden under it. Jean

You know you've been playing adventure games too long when: --you eat soup from the microwave for every meal for a week, because going to the grocery store would interfere with your in-game flow....you're on a roll and can't be distracted --your cat is mad because you're always on the computer and she begins to unwind all the toilet paper.....only to be confronted by your puzzled face wondering if you could piece it back together like you did the torn paper puzzle in the game you're playing --the only thing you take time to make is coffee --you find yourself doing your homework in the wee hours of the morning because, "Dammit, Larry Laffer needs me!" --you dream of being sent to Syberia and it's a GOOD thing --you know that if your friends DO give up on you and send you to the Sanitarium, you'll be able to survive, because you did, afterall, help Max to survive --you start telling your friends and family when to eat, sleep, pee and get in the hot tub, and you start spouting at the dinner table, "This graw is fredishay." --no one will talk to you anymore because they can't understand why your right forefinger keeps twitching each time you ask them a question By the way....I love this thread too! It makes me feel sort of "normal."
PLAYING ON PC: World of Warcraft...nothing else...there is no need for ANY other game when you have THIS one to play!! LOL

I know I've been playing Adventure games too long since almost every day some musical refrain sticks in my mind and I can't get rid of it until I figure out what Adventure game used it. When it lasts more than a couple of days, I have to go back and restore likely episodes in the most likely games. That can be a terrible interruption, but I have to do it since otherwise that blasted refrain begins to dominate me.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. -- Aristotle

ROTFL! I'm currently playing Bad Mojo, love being a cockroach, exploring the bathroom. (The toilet seat makes such lovely sticky sucking sounds.) And you also know you've played too many adventure games when you're trying to get hints from two 9-year-old boys you're babysitting: "Suppose you're a wizard called Rincewind and you have a Luggage following you around and you don't know how to..."

You've played too long when
--you've arranged a scavanger/treasure hunt and say 'Let the pixel hunt begin.'
--start leaving messages on pictures or look for them on the back of paintings.
Never resist a generous impulse.

What a great thread this is.... I can relate to that APL. I heard some music on TV the other day and I still can't remember what game it's from. I think maybe the 2nd floor of Shivers. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" /> Good idea OZ. Maybe when it scrolls off the page we could move it to the archives. <img border="0" alt="[winky]" title="" src="graemlins/winky.gif" /> ~Dee

...you cringe when opening doors, fearful that something is there, or you won't be able to just walk through.
...you expect something to open every time the clerk scarns an item you're buying.

When you look at the dust and disarray of your home and think 1. "oooo, atmosphere!" 2. "oooo, I need to explore this! Something might be under there!" When you start cleaning out a closet and think of it as an adventure When you find something in that closet that reminds you of something in another room so you go see if it works....and don't finish your closet!

Are playing ND and as you walk through a door the phone rings and it scares the heck out of you because you think it's happening in the game,but it really was your own phone ringing.(This just happened to me last night LOL) When you... can't find your notebook of notes of the game you're currently playing because you have at least 4 games going at one time.

You know you've been playing adventure games too long when:
You see a wad of chewing gum and have an uncontrollable urge to pick it up.
