You know you play too much Fallout when...

... you're drinking from the toilet and wondering how many rads you're accumulating.
... you wonder what sort of Survival recipe your pet would fit into since life is hardcoe mode.
... when you're driving down the highway you keep an eye out for abandoned shacks, caves, vaults, and/or raiders.
... you crouch before you open a door into someplace you haven't been before. :ninja:

Okay, that's a good start, let's see what everyone's got. :fallout:

...you just stop listening to the radio anymore since there's no 3-Dog.
...Your Co-workers ask , "why is there a big #21 on the back of your coat?"
...you walk through a room and just start randomly stuffing [censored] into your pockets.
...you name your dog "Mole-Rat."
...Your most common meal is some vaguely recognizable meat on a stick.
...you stop observing the 3 second rule without even a shrug.
...some dude punches you after you ask if he "would like to play a game of Caravan."

you haven't seen one of these threads yet, because you've been to busy playing Fallout (there have been several). :disguise:

Lmao, a lot of these are really good. :rofl:

I figured they'd come up somewhere, but they're apparently all dead by now... figured we needed more "fun" threads and less "QQ! So many bugs, FO3 was so much better!" threads... keeps morale up. :hugs:

EDIT: ... you're talking to someone and dialogue boxes appear in your mind.

...When you strap an Ipod touch to your wrist and call it Pip-Boy 3000

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 5:23 am

...you start to collect bottle caps

I did this long before I first played the original Fallout

I have at least 70-80 bottle caps of sodas they don't make anymore. The trick is, don't use a bottle opener, that bends the cap. Instead, hook the edge on the counter and strike sharply downwards. This pops the cap off in a pristine condition. Some I got myself, others were given to me by friends and relatives who know about my collection.

...when you accidentally get stuck in large rocks on a regular basis

...When you find yourself collecting a wide assortment of junk because it might be useful at your workbench in creating a new weapon.

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 11:45 am

When you think it's okay to randomly barge into peoples houses and dig through their personal belongings, thinking it's a perfectly acceptable norm.

...when you accidentally get stuck in large rocks on a regular basis

:rofl: LMFAO!! :rofl:
That's my favorite one so far.

... someone you're trying to avoid notices you, you crouch and dig in your pockets for a Stealth Boy.
... your radio stops working and you call RadioShack asking if/when there's gonna be a patch.

When you scare people by walking up to them and yelling in a robotic tone 'Don't run, I am programmed for your pleasure'

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 3:02 am

you know you play too much Fallout when you're walking through town and you see some bottlecaps on the side of the road, and have to resist the urge for the rest of the day to go back and collect them... :blink:

You download all the songs in mp3 format to your blackberry from fallout 3, and Fallout Vegas, loop it,
and then walk around outside with it playing out loud.. imagining what a pipboy would sound like.

I actually did this...
Sure, it's geeky to the 5th power, but hey, It is also fun...

I went one better

I taped my mp3 player and some small speakers inside my Pipboy clock from the FO3 collector edition and played GNR

...you're surprised to see that you aren't the only one in town who can jump

when I start seeing people inside rocks and below the ground.

I only play a few hours on the weekends, otherwise I'm too busy.

You've played too much NV when you're playing golf and asking if any of the clubs are Nelphi's.
