You know you are hooked when...
...you call every cute bird a snipe.
...you kill an animal, but are surprised that they don't just become a purple puff of smoke and drop loot.
...you pass out, then a. wonder why someone didn't just give you half their HP, or b. you wonder why you weren't warped back to Haven.
...you are surprised that the elevators will let you use them for free without needing an elevator pass before hand.
...you think it is strange that you hear what people say when you 'should' be reading what they say in a chat bubble above their head.

Back on topic!
I know I've played too much SK...
-Like Sev, I refer to currencies as crowns all too often
-I keep pressing my left-shift key (my shield key) to "shield-bump" enemies. Most notable example was trying to do that to a Creeper in another Java game called Minecraft (as if no-one's ever heard of it >.>)
-My Youtube recommended list contain at least one SK related video
-I unknowingly refer to cobble as cobalt (Cobalt Stone, Cobalt generator and again Minecraft related).

You know you play too much SK when...
...You take candy from every Stranger you find.
...You try to figure out how to unbind stuff to sell in a Garage Sale.
...You wait for midnight to see a gremlin and ask him to roll a Freeze Resistance UV on your jacket.
...You wonder why you have to drive home instead of just clicking the Return to Haven button.
...You refer to playing outside as 'The Clockworks'.
...Your friend asks which playlist you want to play in Halo/CoD, you respond 'Lockdown'; then wonder why Auto-Aim isn't working.
...You stare at every turtle you see, thinking "Weren't those guys patched out?"
...You refer to terrorists as "Bombheads".
...You tell your friends you are worn out of playing Football, only to ask them if they can tab you.
...You name your pet dog 'Snarby'.
Yup that's all I can think of. These ones were made up, if it wasn't obvious.

You know you play too much SK when...
You widen your eyes as much as possible every time you look at your Knight.
Your friend tells you a joke, and you laugh with the same animation as the Knights do.
You throw a grenade right at your feet, much to the horror of your sergeant/commanding officer. (this is clearly made up, no one in their right mind would do this kind of thing...right?)

-When you go to the hospital and try and give half your life to everyone.
-When you wonder why the hospital doesn't simply have Blue Heart pads to cure all illnesses, and Heart pads to restore people to full health.
-When you see a mountain of jelly, whip out a hockey stick then wonder why it isn't attacking you.
-When your mum hands you a toothpick to clean your teeth, you ask her if it has ASI.
-When you make a Pendant in the shape of a heart and think it'll increase your HP.
-When you see your friend in a furry cap/coat and you tell him that his Wolver gear looks good on him.

hmm, whats that word again? "losers"?
You play too much SK when, like certain people from a certain widely-ridiculed guild:
- You sacrifice school, work, or your social life in favour of keeping your guild number one in the LD leaderboards at all times. Every week. For the last 9 weeks.
- You waste a ridiculous amount of real life money into buying CE, just to get game-breaking UVs or to use for CE-revivals in order to be "the best" on a silly mini-game called Lockdown.

You then begin to hear other player's footsteps though your "background music" as they pass by "your character."

Can I sit down? The sky keeps swirling around.
True story. I play World of Tanks.
I see a really slow artillery shell flying towards my E-100 (one of the largest, and easiest to hit targets in the game for artillery), and i know the enemy team has a really huge artillery piece.
My shield button is Spacebar.
Spacebar is the stop button in that game.

lol i still remember a LD dream, it was forest with an ancient ruin in the middle complete with points, my GF, and enemies in a angled top-down view. Only reason i remember the ruins is because it became a survival where i had to fight these people(distinctly human) for some reason. It got kinda crazy. It was awesome. I think i got beaten by their first guy or was getting before i woke up... still best dream ever.
