you know you are addicted to F:NV when..... : Fallout: New Vegas

» Fri Dec 16, 2011 6:03 am

All of mine are fake but there still funny.

When you steal anything that can be stolen and try to sell them at some random store.

When you try to give random talking toys your bottle caps.

When you kill dogs and carry their brains with you.

When you solve all of your problems by screaming "God bless America !!".

When you get cut you stuff your face with pork'n beans to try to heal.

When you go around punching anyone you dont know screming "You cant have my star bottle caps, [censored]!!!!"

I could go on forever....

When you run to work in the evening since you are afraid feral ghouls are coming to eat your flesh.

When you are 25 and still use a nightlight.

I was driving home from a work meeting today and I turned onto the A308, which is a main road just outside greater London. Guess what immediately popped into my head?

That's right, I thought of .308 ammo rounds for the Sniper rifle. :lmao:

Ive started collecting bottle caps.

And I call root beer Sasparilla.

You start saying Kaiser instead of Caesar.
You start saying Ring-a-ding.
You start calling cows Brahmin, scorpions radscorpions, cockroaches radroaches etc.
You develop a fear of chameleons, an incoming nuclear holocaust, and people named Gary. (yes that's in FO3, but they really creeped me out the first time)
You wonder what some famous landmark/building would be used for after the bombs fall.

You're annoyed that Skyrim is interrupting your latest FONV playthrough.

When you play other games and still try to bring up your pip-boy.

When you look at the shotgun next to your bed and the Dinner Bell comes to mind.

When your at work on a computer and you see some random number and a type of ammo comes to mind.

When your at a friends house and you pick up a fork and you automatically cringe because you think your about to get shot for stealing it.

When your walking around your house in the dark at night and you hear a bump and try to go into vats to see what it is.

When your sparring at the gym and you accidentely ask somebody if they like the sight of their own blood.

When you solve all of your problems by screaming "God bless America !!".

I do that, thought obviously not "all".
Extra fun when saying that to people with strong anti-American sentiment.

(Most often I say it in Finnish, "Jumala siunatkoon Amerikkaa!", for even more annoyance points)

You start saying Kaiser instead of Caesar.

I'm not sure about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiser but [kaizar] or more accurately [keezar] are the correct forms of pronouncing the name.

When I look at my guns and think of stats they could have...

The One-Two Punch
.38 Special
2 shot breakaction snub-nose compact pistol.
Pearl-handled
When the first shot hits, the second shot is a Garenteed critical
Insane low accuracy

When you begin calling Las Vegas "New Vegas". Pretty lame but it has become a habit, even when I look a trip down there I kept calling it New Vegas....

I too did the same....

I know, I'm just so used to hearing the legionaries say it like Kaisar (I was going for a phonetic spelling anyway, probably should have spelled it KaisAr instead of KaisEr, my bad).

True addiction, when you get that nagging sinking feeling inside when you havent played for a few days. When you feel guilt for neglecting the game for longer than a week, or aggression when you're forced to go without.

And yes, as someone else mentioned, when you still go to sleep each night with a nightlight.

When I start reading these forums on my smart phone during lunch instead of reading my current novel.

When you bust into a room in Battlefield 3, and have the irresistible urge to scavenge through the draws and filing cabinets...
...and then you're mildly annoyed when you can't.

When you're driving around at lunch time looking for a place that serves Nuka-Cola and squirrel on a stick.

Not just battlefield.

Every game you can't search stuff in.

On a gaming forum, I was trying to give advice on how to defeat England as Nazi Germany in WW2. It took me five minutes to write "England", since my hands constantly wrote it as Enclave. Enclave -> Englave -> Encland (remove the whole word, think for a sec) -> Enclave (damnit!) -> Enclanve..... (Pause)... E-N-G-L-A-N-D.

Much to my overly patriotic friends' dismay, I sometimes end pointless arguments by suddenly exclaiming GOD BLESS AMERICA and storming off.

I am studying to become a virologist (aka person who studies viruses) because of Fallout.

Since starting playing Fallout my consumption of glass bottled Coca Cola has increased exponentially.

Yeah, fallout actually started to make me drink more Coco Cola too

I have to make sure that my iHome's light is always on at night, my cats make alot of noise at night, so I'm constantly thinking "Crap, I can hear that ghoul down the hallway, how am I gonna get to the restroom?". And once I almost [censored] myself, I just got into the restroom when the cats run headfirst into the bathroom door. I can imagine a deathclaw right outside, and at the same time I'm trying not to crap my pants and wondering why V.A.T.S. isn't working, and almost yelled my head off. That's why I like the sunlight now

You have a dream of an atomic bomb blowing up several miles away and try to get away but it "kills" you, waking you up and causes you to be paranoid on the way to work, as it happened as you were standing outside your work.

When you watch a video of Skyrim and the first thought that comes to your mind when watching the combat, well two first thoughts -

"What's worse, dragons or a pack of Deathclaws?"

and

"Why aren't they using VATS? Oh wait...that's right"

» Thu Dec 15, 2011 5:33 pm

You sleep with a loaded handgun on you nightstand, a shotgun under your bed, and a high powered rifle in the corner.

And some sort if gun in ever other room.

I hope the RT/R2 button isn't something important in Skyrim, I'll most likely try to V.A.T.S. the dragons, so I hope that button isn't that important

When you watch this week's episode of 'Bored to Death', and all you can think of is "holy sh*t Mr House!"
