Today (actually happened) I was driving and saw a scraggly piece of tree wood along side the road and thought "canis root!"

- You mention in a job interview that you're Dragonborn. Also you write it to your CV.

I have a hard time imagining you'd get any job with a CV like that, in these dark times.

Today (actually happened) I was driving and saw a scraggly piece of tree wood along side the road and thought "canis root!" :biggrin:

Walking home back from work this afternoon, I spotted some Thistle (the purpley flower) and was sorely tempted to pick it (truly - needless to say my mind was on the game prior to spotting said flora).

When you refer to cough syrup as potion...

You might be able to pull it off with Nerevarine, considering it is a pretty obscure reference nowadays

When you shout "Wuld" before your about to sprint.

When you walk by your mother-in-law's garden and have to stop yourself from harvesting her flowers. Every. Damn. Time! (I live next door to my mother-in-law so yeah, I walk by her garden several times daily.)

When your boyfriend knows all the Elder Scrolls games in the order that they came out even though he's never played them.

... when you dream that your father asked you to clear out the (angry, walking) skeletons in the garage.

When you have no idea what that white porcelain thing in your bathroom is for.

Or any idea what a bathroom is...

You just made me realize there are no poopers in this game...

Oh wait a minute... Theres a bucket in a corner room in fellglow keep with a yellow book of riddles... Lol.. Everytime i see those make-shift crappers i kinda hope to see a turd in em... But, sadly, never do...

Is that weird?

Hahaha! I just did it to see what i'd be like.

When you get arrested by the police and call yourself the Thane of Windrest when they ask your name.

Therefore, the guy featured in http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxpvqceSn01qgxqhto1_500.jpg wins the thread!

Is the article author's name really Sean Penn or do I need a better prescription on my contact lenses?

There's also a bucket in that one mine near Riverwood (names fail me). And yes, that makes you weird to hope that

But everyone's weird in their own way. For example, I wish I had a tail (prehensile, not vestigial)

You've played too much Skyrim when.. you see an outcropping of rocks and you think "Dang! I need my pickaxe!"

I wish I had one too!

in Oblivion I added the Khajit tail to an imperial body just to have that ^.^

When people ask you why you still have a ton of classes to pass to get your law degree and why you didn't pass them on time, and the first answer that pops into your head is "Well I used to study a lot during my first year...but then I took an arrow to the knee" :biggrin:

Also, when you're watching a movie and the camera zooms in on a bear and you see some yellow flowers next to it and you fight the urge to yell "HIT E! HIT E! I NEED THAT DRAGON'S TONGUE FOR POTIONS!"

You know you've played too much Skyrim when

Using Arrow in the knee references to everything
You Miss The Adoring Fan
You Dream about Lydia
Going into Sneak mode just to walk around
Thinking that taking and eating a piece of bread will only cause a 5 septim fine
If you see somebody short, you assume that it's a Breton
You have Nightmares about Ciccero

You know you've played too much Skyrim when...you have 14 different characters.

When you look at real people and decide what race they'd be.. Not many Red Guards or true Nords at my school

» Thu Jun 21, 2012 1:24 am

... When your excuse for being late to school is,"My backpack was over encumburing me."

» Wed Jun 20, 2012 9:26 pm

When you know the lyrics to the Skyrim theme in both Draconic and English.

» Thu Jun 21, 2012 3:11 am

You know you play too much when you mess something up in real life... and you automatically think ...."That's alright, I'll just reload a save"

Lol I had this happen once, after I had nearly a whole night of playing fallout 2 when I was young and I woke up in the afternoon when I was supposed to be in school

You know you've played too much skyrim when you try to shout people off the balcony or mountains

"You know you've played too much Skyrim when..."

You've stopped playing it after 179 hours and only check the forums now periodically.

. . . I'm sure I'll regain interest again soon enough

EDIT: . . . probably when some DLC hits Steam.
