In a similar vein, this is why I refuse to drive for thirty minutes after playing Grand Theft Auto. If I cut that limit close I start pondering the possibilities. I will say I sometimes abortively attempt player animations while practicing martial arts. I have no doubt that my Capoeira is influenced by trolls.

 

Aggression

One time I fell asleep during an MC raid at my keyboard and actually slept past when I was supposed to head into work. My work called to check in on me and I answered the phone "Aggression here...". After a couple seconds I snapped out of it and wiped the drool from my mouth and keyboard and corrected myself.

I still catch heat from that, and that was like, a hundred years ago during MC raiding days!

 

Syncharmony

When I accidentally aggro my girlfriend when she's in a bad mood, I wish to myself that I could hit my shield wall to absorb some of the incoming burst damage. Those crushing blows hurts.

 

ANSeranov

Sometimes I catch myself calling myself "Kary."

Additionally, when I hit my alarm early in the morning, it's usually followed by "KARY SMASH" and people always ask "Who's Kary?" <_<;;

I'm a lost cause, aren't I?

I'm sure people have thought about fading, vanishing, and feign death in similar situations.

 

Aggression

Sometimes I wish I could sap her, or maybe just hamstring and run away...

Had a painful leg cramp while sleeping. I mumbled to my wife to "just sheep me!" as if I had undergone mind control from an instance boss.

 

Teeth

I work for Sun Microsystems, and I joned a con-call with Broomfield, Colorado, and Burlington, Mass.

Meeting Host: "Who Joined?"
Me: "Hey Guys, It's Teeth"
Meeting Host: "Who?"
Me: "Teeth..from Nova Scotia.."

Fortunatly they didn't ask again. This saved me the embarassment from having to explain that Teeth is my WoW Main.

 

Secretone

If im on the phone while at my PC, or having some friends over, i just click my push to talk button as a reflex, when im talking to them.

There's a bunch of others too, just can't remember them now :p

 

Lucrettert

I push my PTT key on the phone as well, I also wish you could afk or pretend not to be there when some one tries to find or talk to you IRL

1) While driving home from a friends place, i spotted a flowery weed on the side of the road. I had an immediate urge to pull over, dismount, and pick the dratted thing, i kid you not. (yes, I was leveling herbalism)

2) Many of my sentences start with "L2....", and I do say "pwn/pwnt" a lot.


3) Said the phrase "shield slam!" at least 50 times during the movie 300.

4) Same thing for Chronicles of Narnia (FOR THE HORDE), and any other movie of the same genre.

Wow applies to life.




yes i'm a sad little man :/

Ages ago when I was first leveling, I was taking a night off to go for a drive in the Santa Cruz mountains. It was spring, there was a light rain, and off to the side of the road there was a small clump of purple flowers. My first thought was that I should stop and pick the kingsblood because it would sell well.

I call my 3 year old son a noob, and have used a "l2..." when showing him stuff, much to the confusion of my non-gamer wife.

 

Grayson Carlyle

After a night of arenas I often like to sit down and watch a movie. Doesn't matter what type of movie it is, if someone is calling for attention, I think "Battle Shout", when someone is trying to get away "Hamstring him!" and various others as well. 2 weeks ago I was watching Pay It Forward with my girlfriend and said out loud "Demo shout damnit!". Thankfully she's understanding, as it is her who I arena with.

When I was watching 300 for the first time in the theatre, I called out "Shield Slam!" when Leonidas bashed his shield into one of the persians in the first half of the battle.

 

Obligatory

When I'm typing a paper while talking on the phone, It``` often lo``````ks lik````e this````. Thankfully, my headset makes it impossible to talk on the phone while wearing it, so I haven't had any one-way conversations with my guild

 

Cala

Yes, I do the PTT key while on the phone quite a bit.

Also, since I work in a chat-based tech support job, I've found myself often trying to start sentences with r to reply to the customer. I also have to stop myself several times from trying to substitute 'dmg' for damage.

Every time I finish a tasty meal, I become well fed and gain strength for about 30 minutes.

 

Jaizha

A couple of years ago, I went into town to post a letter. I didn't know where the nearest postbox was, but that was no problem, I reasoned: I could just find a guard and they would mark it on my minimap. I was content with this logic for approximately half a second before reality kicked in.

 

Ercassiel

I am a recruiting officer and I often have to sign my private messages and in-game mail with "Regards, Bellatrix"

Well, I signed an inquiry at work to a supplier the other day with Regards, Bellatrix. I caught it before I sent it, thank god, but nonetheless made me think about how much I play.

I also call people at work noobs and ninjas and refer to my husband by his WOW name when talking to real life people.

But other than that, I never tried hearthing, or using UI in any way.

 

Ory

I'm always backspacing over my 'r' key equivalent when chatting with people on AIM. I've almost signed some work emails "Ory" too, but thankfully caught myself.

 

Psilux

My buddy and I noticed that there were some goodies in the kitchen. He was really new to world of warcraft when this was happening, and he saw my alt character do some of the cool things a rogue can do like sap, vanish, distract. Well, another co-worker was headed down the aisle to the kitchen, so my buddy quick grabbed a penny off his desk (yes a penny) and threw it like a stealthing rogue distract animation.

The other coworker stopped to pick up the shiny penny, giving us just enough time to get passed him and to the kitchen. Him and I scooped up the last of the goodies. We laughed for a good 30 minutes.

 

Schnappi

This is not strictly WoW-related, but I have started using English expressions when talking Dutch. I'm translating expressions literally into Dutch. It probably sounds like a real life Babelfish.

 

Kombinat

A couple of my mates and I were out at a local pub, sinking some beers, when one of my mates gets lippy with some bogan. (Aussie equivalent of redneck)

It looks like a fight's going to jump off, but master diplomat that I am, I solve the problem with beer.

My other friend turns to me once I've sorted the situation and says "Pussy. Is your hearth on CD?"

I reply with "Sif hearth, Astral recall FTW noob."

The worst part was that there were cute women who heard me say that.
