86. Occasionally you run into buildings in a full set of armor waving a sword over your head screaming "THIS IS FOR KVATCH!" as you run to the top and throw stuff around looking for a floating stone to shut the buildings door. Once again, the local authorities are not amused by your heroics.

You know you have been playing too much when you resort to posting topics on forums about how to tell if you've been playing too much. ;)

You know when your children have been playing too much when you wake up to find them crouched and walking into the wall next to your bed.

You are surprised when people make hand gestures when talking to you, instead of staring at you with their hands at their sides.

You throw watermelon, pumpkin, aloe vera, and radish into a mortar and pestle, and expect to be hailed by the scientific community for creation a new medicine for Fatigue/Health.

Technically, you would throwing it into the mortar and liquify them WITH the pestle, and a medicine for fatigue would be a caffeine pill or something...there really wouldn't be a medicine for general "Health" as it is a combination of many things, mental health, physical health...
I missed it here.

My thoughts exactly. A few more to add to the list though......

When you repeat a question to someone, you wonder why they don’t use the exact same phrase to answer you as the first time.

~~~~ AND ~~~~

You get worried that the boundaries between this world and the game world are getting thinner and a Gateway to Elder Scrolls IV will open in your tv-set

~~~~ AND ~~~~

When you loot a dead body you are always kind enough to leave the deceased with their underwear, if not their dignity.

~~~~ AND ~~~~

When you get lost because your street directory doesn't have a red Quest-marker to help you.

~~~~ AND ~~~~

You get a gym membership, steal the weights, and then don't understand why the owner won't buy them back from you.

~~~~ AND ~~~~

Instead of typing "OMG" or "ROFL" you use, "BT9D" or "BTND" (By the Nine Divines).
