BattleRat213 Posted October 21, 2001 Hey, I've got it worse than that. I keep mistaking my Home Ec teacher for one of the bullpig demons (hey, give her horns and bad posture and she's not that far away). And I think I've started hearing the Doom sound effects at random points during the day. 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMBoy Posted October 21, 2001 You play too much Doom when: You see golden flashes of light when you pick objects up You wonder why everything doesn't flash red when you get hurt You wonder why you can't carry more than 9 things at a time, like in Doom You keep hearing imaginary things when ever nobody's around Hey, isn't there a Fan Fiction done about this in the Fan Fiction Forum? 0 Share this post Link to post
Crendowing Posted October 21, 2001 Hasn't there been numerous posts about this already? Anywho: 8. When you pick up something, like soda bottle, yow wonder where the yellow flash went and why you don't feel any better 9. When you walk into a gun shop and ask, "Where are the BFG 9000's?" 10. When you take your dad's chainsaw and try to find the nearest Demon to use it on 11. When you refuse to go into any pool of liquid without a rad suit 12. When you get angry 'cuz you're still as mortal as ever, no matter how many times you yell out "IDDQD" 13. When you see some obese person and you run and hide while yelling, "LOOK OUT!!! A MANCUBUS!!!!" 14. When you join the Marine Corps in hopes that you'll be stationed on Phobos and be the savior of humanity 15. When you smash every spider you see just to make sure the world won't be overrun by Arachnotrons 16. When you kill a goat and cut its head open to find John Romero's head on a stick 17. When you get killed and become frustrated because you can't either respawn or press F10 and quit the game 18. When you get confused as to why the doors in real life open in and out rather than up and down 19. When you hit run into a wall, somebody asks you why, and you respond, "I was just checking to see if that was an impassable linedef." And finally...... 20.

Crendowing Posted October 21, 2001 21. When you try to give yourself that "berserk pack effect" by downing 200 cups of coffee 22.

When you see a discolored part of the wall and push at it to see if it's a secret door 25.

When you're afraid to flip a light switch because it might trigger a monster trap somewhere 29. When instead of school supplies, you stuff as much extra ammo as you can into your backpack 30. When you won't enter a dark room unless you're either well armed or have light-amp goggles with you (more to come later) 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMBoy Posted October 21, 2001 Or when you try to look down in such a way as to not look at your feet. Or you try to run with a loaded shotgun in hand, firing like a madman, and wonder why the barrel gets red and hot. 0 Share this post Link to post

Enjay Posted October 21, 2001 You know you have played too much doom when you missed the last thread like this, or the HUGE one on newdoom that makes all others pale into insignificance. I haven't checked for ages. It must be over 1000 by now. Take out the repeats and dull stuff and you could maybe half that number mind. Still, a few of them are quite entertaining http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/Forum3/HTML/000552.html 0 Share this post Link to post

Speshul Eddy Posted October 22, 2001 33: You notice that the Janitor's closet is locked, so you proceed to run around knocking people out and searching their pockets for a red keycard, in the hopes that there's a plasma-gun and perhaps some first-aid kits in said closet. 0 Share this post Link to post

mr8 Posted October 22, 2001 When you bring a rocket launcher to Laser Tag. I like this one, funny ;) To me, it's when you can't help playing again and again... More you play, more you need it. That's the way of Doom - Printed forever in your mental hard disk. 0 Share this post Link to post
