This past weekend my hard drive crashed, and I lost all of my data. It's been three days without Skyrim, and while I was driving yesterday, I looked out the window to find a group of clouds that resembled a pack of Netches undoubtedly. I turned to my friend in the passenger seat and exclaimed excitedly

"Look! Netches!" pointing to the clouds.

He shot me a look of unparalleled suspicion.

"Are you high?" he said cautiously.

I believe Skyrim has intruded my thoughts. Anyone else or am I the only insane player on the forums?

Last weekend me and my girlfriend visited my best friend who lives outside town. We took a walk around the lake where he lives.

Where we live in Sweden we have gotten some snow and the area we were walking in looked very much like Skyrim with a lake and snowy mountains/forests around it.

I once picked a flower and started to stare at it from all angles...then I ate it...Like I do in skyrim sometimes haha.

EDIT- I do it all the time in skyrim.

I saw a khajiit today. oh! wait. It was my cat.

Sanity is overrated.

Can't say I've had an experience like that though. I'll have a think..

Where I live, we have these purple looking weeds that grow along side the road. They look 100% identical to purple mountain flower. I made a comment to my wife, she thought I was crazy.

Yes this happens too. Alchemical ingredients often catch my eye these days... despite their obvious lack of "Restore Magicka" qualities. My backyard is full of things that would compliment a potion.

I still look at the shadows cast by trees and consider how lucky it is that reality can have tree shadows on. Also, you should check out the LOD here, marvelous! I can see the mountains and individual trees on the mountains!

It doesn't really happen much now, but I would occasionally jump/tense when a bird's shadow passed overhead, just as I do in-game.

Hey, at least it wasn't a TOE. Or some Dwemer Oil that had been sitting around for a couple thousand years in some ruin. Or... human flesh.

Hahaha... It makes me laugh to myself sometimes when I want the first alchemical property and my character is all..."I'll just gnaw on these elk antlers like they are rawbone and see what happens"

Sometimes when I see flowers I get the urge to harvest them. Oh and like Xmiss-WooX, sometimes I tense when I see a bird flying and I'm thinking 'oh god, dragon!' But these are all thoughts that happen and disappear again in 1 second, so I'm not questioning my sanity too much - yet

Having flu for over a week has made me lose mine.

I can relate...

Then I say "Welcome"

pfft I shed off the shackles of sanity long before Skyrim

Morrowind stole most of my sanity. Oblivion stole the rest of the little sanity I had left. By the time Skyrim came out I had no sanity left to steal.

Think of the poor folks waiting for HL3; spotting lambdas in the sky, in the tea, in the everywhere.

You're NOT alone, but I don't know if me being in the same boat is an consolation

- I look for skeevers every time I venture into my basemant!

- I try NOT to shout at anyone, thinking they may just go flying off into a wall or something.

- On my daily walks, I turn my whole body from side to side instead of just my head. (OK. Not really, but I do think of Skyrim when I am looking around )
