Curse

Someone at work complimented the top I was wearing this morning and I almost said, "This old thing? I've had it since before the searing."

Has anyone else been on the verge of 'losing it'?

That was simply a mix up of words..you were probably currently thinking about GuildWars at that moment,and that was blurted out.

Or GuildWars has..STOLEN YOUR SOUL!! *Insert Thunder and Lightning*

It's sneaking into my life... I always talk about it, where ever I go, even if no one knows what I'm talking about. I try to get everyone I know to play it... Oh well.

I have found myself reading a web page or watching a commercial when suddenly my eyes immediiately dart to, and a quick feeling of excitement hits me, as I see yellow or violet text on a page or on the TV. :P

You've actually stopped playing long enough to surf or watch TV?!

I play a warrior, my brother a monk. We're walking in the mall, I'm walking quickly though to get what we need and finish, he's about five feet behind me for the majority of the time.

Talk about a Guild Wars flashback.

When I walk my dogs I feel like I need to watch for Charr. My green jacket in RL matched my Ranger garb as well.

DavenXion · Jun 03, 2005, 03:32 PM // 15:32

I randomly dance around my house, and I find myself dancing like the character I most recently have been playing...except for the ranger, I can't seem to get that spin going without smacking my head on the fridge.

I try to right-click everything on screen and rotate to get a better view... and then I realize I am in Microsoft Word and not GW. -_-;;;

ManadartheHealer · Jun 03, 2005, 03:51 PM // 15:51

Yes, it is sneaking into real life... disturbing...

Somebody was talking about the Amazon (or some other jungle), and I had the compelling urge to say, "Oh, isn't that similar to the Maguuma"...

Personally I have all but stopped watching TV, but I still stay on the internet for an hour or two. Shame on me

You are not alone.

I always try and keep a 20 foot distance between me and my wife, so I don't aggro her.

(Okay, I'm making this up for gag factor...I'm not even married)

Adaria · Jun 03, 2005, 04:20 PM // 16:20

I have to thank my lucky stars that I haven't caught this bug. I had it for awhile with doing things on the computer but since I've been sort of out of the mood to play anything lately it hasn't effected me. I know, I know, I'm a GW nut but it's been one of those weeks...

Y'know it'd be funny if someone started talking about the president of the US saying something about GW, and you think "Guild Wars" instead of "George W." XD

Lasher Dragon · Jun 03, 2005, 04:29 PM // 16:29

One of my friends is afraid to try GW, because it is all I ever talk about anymore LOL.

LOL, I've done the same thing. Can't remember what I was looking at, I think it was a photoshop contest, but I tried to right-click and rotate my camera for a better view of my screen.

TwinRaven · Jun 03, 2005, 04:39 PM // 16:39

I'm a teacher in a small semi-rural school on the Oregon Coast. I know of three students and two teachers that play GW from time to time....the other day I was walking to class and heard someone holler, "Hail, Twin Raven!" I turned to look...damned kid, standing there with a goofy grin on his face. Without mising a beat I responded, "Hail, Delrock Hammerstaff...get your butt to class, the bell's about to ring and you'll be tardy."

But that's hilarious! And I am married!

No, I don't find that I'm blurring the lines between virtual and vital reality at all.

I mean, sure I'm finding it hard to keep more than eight things in my pockets at any one time. And more than forty-five in my briefcase.

And sure, I find myself waiting for a loading screen every time I walk through a door.

And sure, driving to work when I get stuck in the latest traffic jam I find myself looking for the map button so I can instant travel. I mean, I've been there already, I should be able to return to my work outpost whenever, right?

But really, I think I've got a good grip on things. Now if you'll excuse me I have a date tonight and need to respec from my work build.

Yes, but my problem is that I keep trying it in Windows too! You'd think I'd get a clue. This is especially bad right after I logged off GW.

Aloren · Jun 03, 2005, 05:26 PM // 17:26

ahahahaha, way to go sausaletus. That fit so well.

The worst i'd have to say for me is that practically all my regular friends play the game with me, so we wind up usually calling each other our in-game names in real life and our real names in game...lol
