when you paint the symbol for oblivion onto a piece of cloth with a dye you made during a chemistry lesson in said chemistry lesson.
when you hum the music from the game when you are walking home or anywhere else.

When you think that our night sky here on earth is boring compaired to Oblivions.

We were doing a web game for English class, and after getting a question right, it will have a "funny" message and picture.

One of them went along the lines of "Your English skills gave you many adoring fans". Imediately, I thought "Dang Bosmer... This is going in the thread..."

My bad, was i supposed to not do this?


Totally me

You know you've been playing TES too much when you do nothing but play TES
When you try to put a water walking on your shoes and run across a lake
When you have more than 3 posters of TES in your room
When you have nearly 100 arows stabing into you and are still running around like its nothing

You knwo you play too much TES when...you have killed someone by sitting on a pumpkin and it flying into their face.

When you make a multiplayer clan for oblivion

when putting carrots and potatoes in a bowl and crushing them doent make a health potion.

That's not a very good question because YOU CAN'T PLAY TOO MUCH!!!!

...when you notice you're quite clumsy, and think "Hm, I should play a Khajiit next time."
...when you look up at the night sky, and are confused by seeing only one moon.
...when you're in a rainstorm and stand in it blithely, because you forgot that the raindrops could be blocked by an overhang.
...when you actually try to save your game before taking a risk... and then try to reload when things go poorly.
...when you try to hit someone by stepping backwards and twitching your finger.
...when you wonder what ini tweak you'd need to make to turn the world just a tad bit darker.
...when you're very, very careful upon exiting any building, particularly at night, for fear of the dreaded call of, "HALT! HALT! HALT!"
...When you call your own child a scamp/imp.
...when you try to remember what texture mod you used to make the RL trees look the way they do, and then take the time to consider whether you should change it to something else.

I'm actually guilty of all of these, by the way.

... When you think running across a person's dinner table is socially acceptable.
... When you believe you can pay a cop 1000$ to not incarcerate you for hitting a person with a mace.
(And in that vein, you believe you will be fined 2$ for attempting to pick up (not pocket) a person's belonging, even if it's something like a fork, or a piece of fruit.)
... When you believe that you need to Admire, Boast to, Coerce, and Joke with everyone you meet in a continuous cycle to get them to like you better, though not necessarily in that order.
(And when you inevitably fail, you will try and buy their friendship with lots and lots of money.)
... When you train for the long jump by trying to get up to roofs of houses just to fall off of them and break your legs in a futile attempt to increase your acrobatics skill.
... When you eat tons of raw meat (sometimes from rats), uncooked vegetables, fruit, and other uncooked goods... Except Shepherds Pie and Bread in some rare cases.
... When you believe that the best fencers and fighters intend to disarm or knock down opponents when they do fancy, 360 degree twirls with their weapons.
... When you believe that running forward and punching someone in the groin with your fingers outstretched will paralyze them.

When you're disappointed with real life graphics. Why don't we have godrays all the time?!

When your teacher hands back a test and you come to Find out you failied and you yell by the Nine Divines!!!

when you look to the sky nervously whenever you go outside in fear of cliffracers.

when you ask the jeweler what magic enchantments the ring you are looking at will give you.

I always survey people around me and speculate on what race/class they should be in TES.

...when your mom is yelling at you to take out the trash you try to cast a silence spell to make her shut up.
...when your astronomy professor asks you what planet you're on, with which you reply, "Oh, uhh, Nirn."
...when your wife wants to go shopping, you try fast traveling to get it done and over with.
...when you try and outrun a horse.
...when you try to fight off a police officer using hand to hand combat, and jab your fingers at him to paralyze him.
...when playing any other RP game, you realize just how lame they are compared to TES games.
...when you look into a dark room and cast a life detection spell to see if there are potential enemies.

I have quite a few more, but I need to get going.

What I'm doing right now...

...when you reply to forums like this when at work.

LOL! :celebration:

...when, instead of using one of today's more efficient blending devices, you use a mortar and pestle to combine your favorite fruits to make a powerful smoothie potion!
...when your best friend asks if he can use a light, you whip out a torch expecting it to be magically lit.
...when anybody asks you for directions to the nearest pub, you suggest Olav's Tap & Tack in Bruma and warn them about predatorial bears and wolves. And you're talking about a WHOLE different kind of wildlife.
...when anyone asks you for shortcuts through the park, you reply with, "If you must travel in the forests, do so in broad daylight."
...when your ideal romance novel is "The Lusty Argonian Maid".
...when you decide to reply to TES forums all night long instead of going upstairs to your wife.

If you wish life would imitate art more and all the children would vanish.
If you wonder wich daedric prince you have to pay tribute to to make a certain leader go away.
If you'd rather really put your life in peril for pursuit of rare treasures rather than have it the drudgery that it actually is.
If you get into a heated, mostly pointless debate of Daggerfall vs Morrowind vs Oblivion.

...When you take a break from TES and still come on these forums.

WHY ISN'T MY F5 KEY WORKING!!! :brokencomputer:
Happened to me in Microsoft Word before...

Yesterday, my friend needed some disease names for a cartoon he was working on.
My Imediate reaction, "Phorphiryc Hemophilia! Wait, that isn't even a 'real' disease... What About Corprus? Nevermind..."


Like me! :dance:

...when you can see a red blue and green bars in the corner of your eye.

...when you name animals after TES chars.

...when you take up archery as a hobby, and find its harder to hit the target than it looks.

... you find you can't carry 500 arrows with you

... when you jump from the roof of your house and expect only a minor health reduction

...when you wish you could fast travel to work/college

If you get irrationally angry at your GPS for telling you precisely where to go...
...or if someon gives you directions to somewhere that you can actually follow.
If you think that fighting in arenas is too soft...
...and you wonder how come is it the announcer isn't addressing you.
If you inadvertently tell your friends/family/lovers that you'll fast travel there right away.
If when you see a crab in the market (or any where else for that matter) you automatically reach for a weapon.
If all your conversations revolve around mudcrabs.

when you have died a thousand times in the ayleid ruin called"Vindasel".

Naaaah...i think it would be if you won the entire game plus unbelievably powerful enemies without dying.

I sometimes use phrases/obscure words NPC use.

This is a little off topic, but after I play COD 4 for an hour I saw someone walking down the street and as soon as I saw them I made hand motions similar to that as if I was holding a control and I was aiming and shooting.

Wow! Not even i have done that! *scribbles to do notes* hey i justed noticed we have two laymen here, have a http://uesp.net/w/images/images.new/c/c4/Fishystick.jpg
