you know you played to much DayZ when......

[rotteck 104]

...you do parkour and run around, but slowly vault over every obstackle :D

[AceQuat 63]

when you see litter lying on the ground and catch yourself wanting to pick it up to see if it is useful

 

(actually happened to me once right after i started playing dayz)

[ninjaontour 123]

 

Lots of these in this thread, I think.

[Irish. 4886]

You see a abandoned house and wonder if its been looted already.

 You start refering to the people in tee shirts and jeans as bambies.

You get the urge to chase your neighbor down the street in your underware yelling "gimmie your fucking pants!!!".

You no longer walk on the sidewalk in the park but stay in the treeline.

 

The grammar nazi is strong with me inside this thread.. must hold back... 

[=fox= damocles 54]

Yeah, I learned to sew as part of manual training in school, wife doesn't know how to sew.

 

So long as she can do the rest like, bring you beer, make you a sandwich etc...

 

You know when you've played too much when you go camping and, first thing in the morning, get out of your tent and start eating cold Heinz baked beans straight from the tin, because making a camp fire might attract some arsehole to your position.

One thing I actually started doing after playing DayZ is judging everything by the 'ruined/badly damaged/damaged/worn/pristine' criteria.

[Karmaterror 982]

...your walking down the street felling uneasy, because you haven't checked your 6 in a while :)

[airfell 179]

Also when i'm playing and talking to someone in the room with me I instinctively hit my TS push to talk button.

 

I don't know how many times my wife or kids have come in the room to talk to me and I hit my p2t button to reply to them. Its 2nd nature to hit a button when speaking.

[Elie 11]

When most of your shirts by now have been teared up,,,,

 

Must admit, since playing DayZ i've found myself looking at "waste" on the street more and more.

Sofar I found many good stuff to make stuff from, or even papermoney on a few occassions,

long live the scavangers mindset, look and be surprised with what you'll find!

 

Just did a calculation, the game costed me about 23 euros,

and sofar since ive found a 20 euro and a 10 euro note, so it made me profit even! :P

There was this time when I was very very sleepy and I tried to go in third person...

And you are really (and I mean really) tired if you succeed in doing this.

[War Path 26]

At least i didn't type in one long string of words heh.

[Smartsham 21]

..you get worried when a door is left open. When you get even more worried if its closed.

[simonhedin 4]

When you classify IRL building as" Piano Houses"

[Samuri_Bake_Pie 96]

I was driving back from school and saw a stick in the road and was like OMFG YES NATE I CAN FIX YOUR BONES! Then I remembered

[xxxlulbotxxx 1]

When you see someone out the corner of your eye and instinctivly want to pull your gun (even though you don't have one)

Lots of these in this thread, I think.

 

Grown ups call these stories... fiction!

[freakinFreddy 13]

when you wake up and the keyboard is stuck to your face and your player is dead........ yup ;)

[doctorwhy 157]

You hold ALT in other games to look around while you keep moving forward and it NEVER works....yet you still keep doing it.

[Window Licker 504]

You see a good looking stick, but it's not the perfect length and there is only 2 of them so you pretend they don't exist....

 

 

 

 

yes that's a porky pie but for the sake of  the thread I like to pretend its true, even though it isn't and if you have taken the time to read all this text then you should know that if you notice this notice you will notice this notice is not worth noticing.

[Uutgrunnen 96]

When you see someone walking down the street with army pants and think "nice, 6 slot pants" 

 

When you have an (important) meeting and your boss walks in with a bottle of water and think "nice, portable water container"

 

When you help your injured buddy at a football match and see a red bag with a white cross from the corner of your eyes and think "nice, 6 slot medical bag"

 

All true stories

[ninjaontour 123]

Grown ups call these stories... fiction!

 

No, grown ups realise that lies aren't the same as stories.

 

You'll understand one day.

[PhilB 230]

You know you'r playing too much DayZ when . . .

 

you wanna get a girl's number but you ask for her IP address

 

you buy a can of Heinz Baked Beans to see what they actually taste like (US only)

 

feel like Anakin should have combat logged at the end of Episode 3 because it's more accurate for the character

 

a $1000 pc is totally justifiable

 

you're driving around town, see an vacant lot and think, "Hurry up, Ivan."

 

noobs think you're some sort of God when it comes to spotting other players

 

you volunteer the disinfectant for your captors because they're taking too damn long, "hurry up, you shitty bandits."

 

you can discourse at length the difference between a noob and a bambi

 

you no longer even bother to direct chat with the other guy suiciding with you on the water tower at Solnichny

 

you know exactly the farthest spawn point which will get you within 10 minutes of Elektro

 

you know which in-game books have missing text and which don't

 

whenever a coworker is having a shitty day you say, "welcome to dayz" (this one I actually do)

When I don't microwave my beans after viciously beating the can with a fireaxe. 

[DMentMan 707]

… when you played 222 hours of dayz

[Makrilli 2]

When you're jogging (irl) and see a forrest across a field, and try to zoom in to see if there's any players in the treeline. Really happened to me xD
