I remember a while ago, I completely zoned out in moth class, and as I was staring vacantly at the wall, I said to myself "Wow, those textures are extremely well rendered."

Also, before taking a test recently, I thought "Well I'll just make a quicksave here, and if I don't do well on this then . . ." Reality struck me.

When someone ask's how I'm feeling, I'll often respond by saying "Horribly Wonderful," in a Scottish accent.

When you start making up dumb Oblivion jokes.

A warrior and a mage are drinking at the bar of an inn. They start arguing about which one has more endurance. They make a bet to stand there until one of them can't stand it anymore. After a while the mage is getting restless and finally runs out the door. The warrior turns to the innkeeper and says; "So, where can I empty my helmet?"

i walked into my dark room and expected to use my amulet of enlightenment to illuminate it, then freaked out for a sec cuz i thought i lost it.
(yes, i really did do that.)

thinking i should quicksave.

wanting to reload a save.

thinking that waiting 5 hours will only take a few seconds only to realize that, yes, you're not in oblivion.


lol, yes dumb, but put a smile on my face.

This is brilliant. I'm going to have a hard time not saying this when I next see my doctor.

I also laughed out loud at the 'Poison of Indigestion' line.

I've been messing around with textures a lot in my game. I recently installed the 'Enhanced Vegetation' mod, which gives the option of bigger trees. Yesterday I was looking at a tree in real life. First I realised that I was admiring the textures, and wondering whether it was from a mod. I then realised I was also looking for clipping issues with the building close by.

I once noticed some really bad tiling in the distance as I was driving along a motorway. It was a couple of seconds before it remembered this was RL. The 'Tiling' was caused by a planting of young trees in a rectangular grid on the motorway embankment. and the long shadoes the tree trunks were casting.

I'm guilty of many of the little moments of confusion mentioned in this thread, eg seeing Nirnroot growing in RL. I once saw some Spiddal sticks for sale in a freezer in an oriental supermarket!

I also Saw Agramir (Spelling?) from the Unfair Competition quest in Woolorths in North London. It's not surprising they went bust if they were using him to supply their stock!

Briliant I must say that to doctor but on my langague

You play too much Oblivion if you look for an apple when you get a papercut.

If you decide to RP a delinquent, then think, "I REALLY shouldn't have done that..."

When you go broke you look for a Fighter's Guild.

When you go broke, you look for the Dark Brotherhood.

When you go hunting, you take nothing but your fists.

When you take a bow just in case you get caught pickpocketing.

You spend too much time on these boards if...

You post in this thread.

You know you've played Oblivion for too long if...

You create a new character just to go on the most massive killing spree ever.

You spend so much time playing the game you have no life.

You hear an odd sound and think "Damn!! It's a (insert creature of choice here) and I don't have a useful weapon/spell!"

You know you've played Oblivion too long if...

You try to cast Flare on the neighbor dog chasing you.

You run around the mountains looking for Dive Rock.

You think you have an Adoring Fan following you.

You post in a thread that's been inactive for more than six months.

You train to become an Adventurer IRL because it pays so well in game.

You speak to NPCs when they speak to your character:

NPC: "What is it?"
You: "I give up, what?"

NPC: "You have the hands of a healer."
You: "I also have the ear of a guard."

NPC Guard: "You have my ear, citizen."
You: "Do you want it back?"

The Emperor: "You are the one from my dreams."
You: "Are you hitting on me? Get away! Aaahhh!!"

when you're day-dreaming about the afterlife and think "Duh, after I kill myself I can just load a previous save and I'll know for sure or not if there's an afterlife! Why hasn't anyone else every been that smart before?"

Yeah. I seriously considered killing myself, and then I realized: Oh [censored]! There's no save system in RL!

When you start seeing things.

I *SWEAR* when I went into my bathroom and looked in the mirror, I saw a minotaur lord walk right by me.

When you think that eating a graqe will cause your death because it looks similar to a chokeberry. Also being afraid to eat apples for fear of them being poisoned!

When a burglar breaks in you say "You really shouldn't be here", follow them around telling them to "Get out, this is your last chance" then run out into the street shouting "GUARDS, GUARDS!"

When you tell your mom to buy some cure disease potions becouse you got a bad flue.

Told that idea to my father a while ago and he just laughed... :shrug:

When, upon driving through the countryside and seeing a patch of mushrooms/flowers/et cetera growing upon the side of the road, you hit the brakes without thinking because OHMAGAW YOU HAVE TO HARVEST THOSE.

When you look at yourself in the mirror and find yourself wondering what combination of sliders were used to make your face.


...Yes, I am guilty of both these things. >.>

if you see your favorite sportsman and then start screaming "By Azura, by Azura, by Azura...".
if you commit a crime, shout "player-period-payfine" and then wonder why the police are still after you.

You hear the game music as you try to fall asleep. . . .

You hear your room mate come home and fight the urge to draw your bow and crouch in a darkened corner

You wish life had a console (player.additem F 1,000,000,000) (incidentally, I did player.placeatme f 10000000000, and it locked up the game)

You get FAR too much pleasure out of pushing dead bodies off the top of a flight of steps, or down a hill, or into water...or all three

You think "OK, I'll just save, and then see if I can pick this lock on the computer case at Wal-Mart, then try to sneak out. . .. . waaait a minute

You wish you had a couple of Elven battleaxes laying around so you could make some quick cash

...you speak the language of the Ayleids. Yes, I'm bilingual.

If you will excuse me, there is an Oblivion gate on my front lawn that I need to close.

OMG! Reading this I suddenly had a flashback to a dream I had this morning. The only thing I remember is being in a crowd of people in the Market District if Imperial City and somehow a Minotaur got summoned, and I was like "aaaaaw crap. I'm gonna die"

....I currently have no life, and probably played Oblivion for about 10 hours solid yesterday.

I was half asleep at around 5:35 in the morning, my super-rude neighbor was banging around and screaming at her nanny911 child, and I thought to myself......
" I can save right now, then run over there, aggressively kick in her door, tell her and her child to shut the hell up, look at both their faces and remember it forever, don't save, and re-load back to my bed"....

When UV doubles as your sole source of entertainment, and your whole goal in life is headshots and kicking enemies down stairs.

Also kicking adoring fan and any NPC off dive rock.

Using the force push mod and tinker with the physics just to see how far they can go

Thinking about going base jumping, but then remember they don't have parachutes in oblivion. Then you realize it's real life and they DO have parachutes.

Wonder why the french don't just go on a spell casting frenzy. Then realize, they're not bretons.


When your sleep schedual is severely messed up, and that you spend more hours awake playing or modding oblivion, and less time sleeping and when you're sleeping all you're thinking about is Oblivion

During thunderstorms you panic for a moment thinking an oblivion gate is opening, then realize where you are.

Significant others also quote lines from oblivion.

You plot out your house to be full of traps to deter burglers and treasure hunters, then realize there's always someone who gets past them anyways.

You have a facebook photo album devoted entirely to screenshots from Oblivion. . . . .and none of your facebook friends -play- Oblivion.

...what. . I don't know where else to share them.
lol

When your girlfriend is talking to you and someone you dont like walks up to you and insults you. You say "BY THE NINE! Can't a man have some privacy?" or "I fought mudcrabs more fierce than you!". Guilty of the second one. My gf was laughing so hard.(Oblivion player)
