After playing Oblivion as a Marksman, I started to think a bow is easy to fire. WRONG.

Crossbows, on the other hand...

I sometimes start conversations by walking up to someone and saying "rumors."

I have to try that, now.

For a while, because of Morrowind and Oblivion, I considered finding high things to leap off of to improve my ability to jump. Turns out that actualy works.
Also, I've often found myself thinking "how do I save?" while in the middle of drawing something.

When I'm at the store, I wonder how I can use these things as weapons against zombies.

This is win.

I, for one, can no longer drink coke without wondering how much rads I have accumulated in total. >__>;

Oh yes. And boxes. Cardboard boxes.

Every time I see one, I have to resist the urge to don the box and sneak around in it. xD

sometimes when approaching someone who hasnt noticed me, ill come up directly behind them so as to not be caught by their area of vision, it comes from playing a rogue in Oblivion. Sometimes someone will walk by and ill catch myself wandering what loot they have on them that might be worth pickpocketing or killing for.

I also do alot of work on my computer, mostly graphic design with my mouse. this usually leaves my left hand free, and it sometimes moves to the W,A,S, and D keys without me realizing it. just like im playing WOW.

If I have to sit around somewhere to long I begin to look around and plan defensive positions and assault points to what ever building I'm in or near by. I imagine how the battle would pan out and where the defensive position would retreat to if over run, conversely I plan out alternate strike points and flanking maneuvers for the offensive side to exploit to take out mg emplacements or artillery positions. This normally happens at university while I'm waiting around for my next class, so it's generally not a good idea to tell anyone else how I'm planning on tactically assaulting a school or I might get in trouble haha. I also imagine cars with mounted mg's shooting while I'm waiting at red lights or aircraft's firing missiles at bridges I'm crossing :)

you are literally in my head right now...

When I'm walking up the street sometimes I move form cover to cover as well, generally late at night.

oh, oh, oh. Sometimes when i see big people in the street and I'm with my L4D mates I'll call out BOOMER!

More like "how has cheating in Elder Scrolls to see all the glitches warped my opinion of the world." Haha. If I kill someone, will they stretch endlessly, dissolve into a pile of goo that still talks to me, or will they be eaten by a door & become posessed by gremlins? If I hide in the sewers, will the streets above me become transparent enough to shoot at people? Can I run faster than the Flash & jump to the moon?

I actually did that for an evening when I worked at a grocery store on the closing shift crew. It got a few weird looks, but a few people got it.

After playing Fallout 3, I no longer drink out of the toilet.

Everytime I see the sticker on the City Rail trains of an exclamation mark and some warning written under it, I instantly think 'Ooh a quest'...then promptly look at my lap.

Whenever I am playing with my little brother doing some arty thing or another and he pulls out star shaped glitter, I collect a few.

When walking to the shop, I wish for a mount so I could move faster.
When I actually have a 'mount' (ie a push bike) I wish it was an epic mount so I could go even faster still (impatient twat that I am)

I feel the irresistible urge to hit chickens, frogs, cats and any other critter I come into the proximity of with a stick.

And lastly, when walking through the crowded streets of Sydney, I wish with all my heart that it was like WoW and we DIDN'T have collision bodies so I could just walk straight through people.

Oh, and it'd be handy not to have to wait in line at the bank and just walk straight up to the teller even if they are talking to a dozen other people.
