You fear coming across Tscimize-made freaks in the sewers.

Katan

You really know when you've been playing too much of Vampire the Masquerade bloodlines when:
1. You believe that there's actually an Ankharan sarchophagus
Worst case scenario,
2. You start start searching for the Ankharan sarchophagus
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just kidding. What everyone wrote is true, I've had most of these things happen to me at some point so I just thought I could write it validating every one of you.

Signs of having played too much:

You meet one of your friends and she tells you that she's been worried sick about you because she haven't seen you in a loooong time and that she's going to call everyone and bring you back into normal life again.

You spend most of your time downtown trying to balance TVs or shopping carts on the head of local thugs and homeless people.

You haggle with hookers.

You're afraid of religious Germans.

You keep setting the caretaker of your local graveyard up with hookers.

You believe the pimples on your skin is caused by the nosferatu embrace.

The password to your e-mail is "Sunrise"

You keep refering to your girlfriend as your ghoul. Asking her if she wants "her fix".

You run like you're holding a pencil between your butt-cheeks.

You won't go into the forest because there may be werewolves about.

The only black person you know is a guy called Larry who sells guns from a truck. Well, you don't really know him, he's just your "partnah".

You talk in loops with people.

You learn how to brawl by reading books.

You have a poster of either Damsel, Ming Xiao, Velvet or Therese in your room.

You find yourself paying very close attention to any fortune-tellers you meet at night on a beach.

[QUOTE=Celacena][BTW for the attention of S- "Underworld" was actually quite a good film - if I was married to Kate Beckinsale, I'm pretty sure I would have been tempted to find an excuse to dress her in leather/PVC. Admit it, vampire fans are fetishistic and it is a all a semi-sublimated erotic experence.][/QUOTE]
I loved Beckinsale in Underworld and Van Helsing, although in the latter I couldn't believe they made her wear a corset. Regardless, if I were part of Ms. Beckinsale's life, I, too, would be the first to find an excuse to dress her in leather or PVC.
I do, however, dispute the notion that vampire fans are fetishistic in any respect. I would be the first to line up for Angelina Jolie in a cat-suit in any movie, not just "Lara Croft - Tomb Raider", while Ms. Jolie is somewhat fetching in a dress as well the slick leather look is just 'way cool. Similarly, I'm pretty sure I would appreciate Ms. Beckinsale in light leather armor if her character was a cat psychologist in a remake of "Dr. Dolittle".

[QUOTE=LaCroix]When you stay up all night, and never go out during the day[/QUOTE]

haha this one actually happens to me a lot.. I've been playing Bloodlines on and off for ages..

here's mine:

when you jump from the roof of a building and wonder why it hurts.

(i know thats kinda lame but I love this game)

[QUOTE=MindSet]You fear coming across Tscimize-made freaks in the sewers.[/QUOTE]

You know you have playing too much, when you are walking around the sewers.

You know you have playing too much, when you wonder why you cant fit a shotgun, a bloodbag, a fire axe and the rest of your stuff in your jeans.

You know you have playing too much, when the only show on TV are the news, and that it keeps repeating over and over again.

You know you have playing too much, when you start noticing the differences of all the hookers on the streets.

You know you have been playing too much, when you refuse to go with your spouse to a hotel.

You know you have been playing too much, when you ponder over why it hurts when people hit you, after your intimidate doesnt work.

You know you have been playing too much, when you find yourself thinking why your view doesnt zoom out to behind you, when you take out a kitchen knife.

-You keep refering to any drink of a red colour as a 'Blood pack.'
-You keep having fantasies about 'diablerizing' your elders, assuming it will make you stronger.
-You assume when you bite someone they'll fall into a trance at the end, but they usually end up beating you and calling the police.
-You're wanted by the police and decide that squatting in a dark corner and waiting for it to blow over is the best option.
-When you're talking to someone you wait for multi-choice answers to appear.
-You pull out swords and guns in the middle of the street and are suprised when people run away screaming.

When you play two whole days in a row on purpose, hoping you will dream about the game (hey, free expansion!)

When you watch Blade when you get in the bed to help you get asleep.

And finally...
When you carry a laptop around your house and browse this forum all the time.

=

When you get tired of the weapons and PC's looking the same, so you start creating your own clothes and weapon mods for the game (grin).

...when you're wondering why you dont get a .44 Magnum with your extra large order of burritos at your local 7-11

...when you go to out clubbing and wonder why everyone avoids you when you imitate your character's dancing (or should I say epileptic fit)

...you try to get a subscription to Chin Magazine

...you attack people with prosthetic limbs on sight

...you spend an entire day scouring supermarkets in search for a bottle of Cepsi

...you try selling holy stakes and unicorn blood to beach bums

...you try to blackmail local restaurants and diners because you can ´smell the curdled milk´

...at the scrap yard you´re worried someone might throw a car wreck at you

...when going to church you´re constantly on the lookout for tripwires

...when you are in a parking garage you try to rob people of their briefcases

When you constantly talk like a malkavian and wonder why people look at you strange

When you dream of laser guided tyrannasaurus's

When you mess around with all the models in the game, because youve already finished it 18,000 times and its time for a change of scenery

When.. I do this .. When you open the sound files and go into a characters dialogue lines and listen to them repeatedly

Fatale wrote:you crouch behind someone and think you're invisible

If you're crouched behind somebody, you are invisible - to them. That's why a high sneak feat makes you almost invisible. In VTMB, as in real life, the only trick to being invisible is being where nobody expects to see you.

No, I didn't pick that up from VTMB, but I suppose it could be a sign that I've been playing too much.

1) You keep refering to blood as the luscious uquid.

2) You walk around the streets talking to STOP signs and when you get home you start talking to the news reader and wonder why he wont listen to you.

3) You can't find the character sheet to spend the XP you have gained for sneaking over to the PC without being seen.

4) You start sucking your computer mouse to get three blood points.

when you dont feel attracted to jeanette anymore

Yep

You know you've been playing too much bloodlines when you read all the Bloodlines forums on this site and draw a Tzimisce version of yourself

You only date guys with grenades.

Your friends keep you away from their pet rats.

Schizophrenics make sense to you.

You no longer eat Chinese food or buy products made in China.

You go to LA for the sole purpose of visiting the Last Round.

You watch all three Pirates of the Caribbean movies to see if Jack and Jack Sparrow are the same person.

You chug all of your friend's tomato juice after you cut yourself at a restaurant.

Edit:
You write this post while waiting for the game to load.

... when you read a whole thread on the issue, and think to yourself that everyone who has posted on this thread, including myself, is bughouse, abso-freaking-lutely nuts.

... You've played through with at least half the clans in the game, and still trying the others, to see what the difference is.

... You've changed your looks, somewhat, as well as clothing, to look kind of like your favorite clan in the game.

... You've figured out how to carry all the gear on you that you have in the game. (It's actually easier than most people think. )

... You can see where vampire movies don't meet up with the game at all.

... You carry on conversations with stop signs, and actually find most of them intelligent, witty, even, at times, flirty.

... Last, for now, but not least, you reply to this thread.

You know you're playing Bloodlines too much when;

a) Your old biology teacher embraced you into clan Tzimisce...
b) explaining why you are a Giger fan
c) Your best mate is a Malkavian, causing all the glomps
d) the other best mate is a Toreador constantly using Celerity
e) your mother is a brujah,
f) your current art teacher is a tremere, explaining why he pisses you off
g) your aunt is a gangrel, which is why she has so many pet dogs

When you explain to friends and family that this "swine flu" Isn't really a flu at all but something created by plaguebearers and everyone who died from it will return from the dead, then finish it off with a lovely "And it is only called swine flu because the Masquerade don't want people knowing the truth!"
