You know you've been playing to much Skyrim when ...

[ClonePatrol]

These are jokes I came up with on the spot, not IRL examples. Sorry if some are terrible:

 

...you've read every book in the game, but haven't touched a real book since you started playing.

...you see a rat and think "damn disease carrying skeevers".

...you see a rat and wonder if you have any 'cure disease' potions left.

...you look at your house-cat and find yourself wondering if Khajit would keep house-cats or if that'd be some kinds of taboo...

...you address a real person as the character they look like in game, "Hey, Skjor? Hold on a... Wait..." (I actually have met someone who looks just like Skjor, and have a cousin who looks a lot like Oriana Cousland from Dragon Age)

...you are slighted and you try and remember the steps to the Black Sacrament...

...you see a black person and you're first thought involves the term "Redguard..."

...Vaermina shows up in your nightmares.

...you instinctively scan shelves for valuables to steal as you walk past them.

...you introduce yourself with your characters name.

...you not only know the lore, but have debates on it.

...you actually notice lore conflicts.

...having played past games, you are compelled to lecture Skyrim characters on the history they have way wrong... ("Damn Thalmor, it was Sheogorath and Martin Septim", "Why are you praying to Indoril Nerevar? You know he was reborn as the immortal Nerevarine right?")

...when I was biking today on a woodsy trail, spotted a monarch butterfly, and almost reached out to grab it for my next alchemy potion. You can add thistle to that list, as well.

...when you're waiting impatiently in a line at the DMV and wondering if a little Fus Ro Dah wouldn't speed things along.

.....when you considered telekinesis to get your ale so you didn't need to take a break. Edited July 18, 2012 by woody79

caught myself subconsciously switching my daypack to the left shoulder so my right arm would be free to ready a weapon.

noticed a bucket behind the cashier at a local deli bodega and thought to myself, "uhh, no way man.."

nyc subways seem more dungeon-like lately, coulda swore i saw a chaurus stalking me.

 

you haven't played enough Skyrim until you start walking around like TECHNO VIKING..

...you're Olaf and you just HAVE to counterjungle Shyvana.

You know you've been playing to much Skyrim when you startle a co-worker and they say to you "Just because you play a sneaky character, doesn't mean that you should pratice your sneak at work."

...your first impulse when seeing something impressive/cute/unusual is to take a screenshot.

 

Add me to the list of dragon-shadow dodgers.

I live in a desert and it almost never snows. We are totally unprepared when it does. I was about to try to drive my car up a steep slippery snowy hill to get home from work, and I thought, "I better save my game before I attempt this."

[ArgonTheAlmighty]

yeah, I always subconciously think about saving before I do something IRL that might not work, or could be potentially dangerous.
