You know you have played to much DF when...
« on: July 13, 2007, 10:59:00 am »

You knew it was coming.
Every game fourm has one.
It's a 215 page long monstrosity, containing hours upon hours of what could have been productive work.
let's get started.

You know you have played to much DF when...

You are playing some other game, such as Oblivion, see a bug and think "Oh. I'll put that on the fourms so Toady can fix that."

You go to a zoo and see and ask a nearby guide "Are those Elephants or Elves? Cause' I need to know."

You attempt to put 600 lbs (272.155 Kilos) of pebles in your backpack.

Your house keeps getting flooded(forcing you to move) because your cat keeps somehow blocking your front door open with firefly corpses.

Don't blame me for starting this thread - you knew it was coming anyway.

[Edit: I wrote Three Toe instead of Toady. My brother and I have the same problem.]

this is going on my favourites list!!

when...

...your house only has 1 floor and when people ask you why, you mutter something about "waiting for the next version".

...No one wants to talk to you because you say so few phrases.

...you carry around hundreds of coins, or leave them sitting in a bag in four house.

...You can add to this list.

...you run back and forth for no reason, other than "you want to be a legendary ambusher".

...You never sleep, eat, or drink, you just leave the area.

Yau have played too much when...

...you look around and are surprised that none of your walls have ore in them!

...When looking for a new house, you ask what the schools are like, what the heating bills are, if there is contact with Elves, and if it's in a Calm area.

...When you think everyone needs alcohol to get through the working day.

> Jim has been taken by a fey spirit!

> Jim has claimed a cube office!

> Jim has begun working furiously.

> Jim has crafted Portpillows, a masterful paper memo!

> This is Portpillows, a paper memo. The fonts are masterfully composed. It is encircled with bands of rubber. It menaces with staples of nickel-plated aluminum and paper.

The memo is emblazoned with images of humans and the boss rendered in coffee stains. The humans are telemarketing. The boss is making a triumphant gesture.

The memo is emblazoned with a rendering of Jim and the boss in ASCII. Jim is cowering. The boss is imitating a horse's hindquarters. This relates to the year 2007 when the boss chewed Jim out for not accomplishing anything for a week straight.

Adamanitum is a greek word, meaning "made out of diamond" so this has no relation to titanium at all.

In other words, the best weapon in the world is a carbonfiber arrow.

As you walk about within your house you think about these things:

There is the drink stockpile.

Why is the food stockpile so far from my computer?

I need a drink...turn around to get one. 5 steps later...what job did I just cancel?

I will be better able to remember what I am supposed to be doing after this beer?

You Know You've Played Too Much DF When...

...You'd consider eating raw mushrooms rather than a masterfully cooked meal

...You wouldn't consider leaving a bag anywhere near a jewelers

...You find yourself avoiding rivers in early spring, summer and autumn

...You wonder why the majority of the worlds metalsmithing isn't done near lava

...You'd rather be punished for wrongdoings by someone with a hammer than by someone who has lost a hammer

...you line your driveway with homemade drawbridges and link them all to a lever inside your house, "just in case."

"Honey, the tax collector's here!"
"Yeah?" *Wham! Wham! Wham!*

...you dig a huge hole in your front yard, hoping to find the magma river.

My home is my castle, and the whole world is my steaming moat of death™!
