Probably got married or had kids

Edit: More serious note - maybe it's about ensemble?

Its okay if you have the cheat: Rich Parents, activated

That code doesn't work for me. I also hear you can't take a mulligen IRL unless you follow specific religious beliefs.

Turelus I don't have the Religion DLC however recently for my loyalty reward of being a sub for 21 years has come thorugh! I now have a perk to let me drink in the US! Shame my spawn island was the UK though!

I was 20 the last time I was in the states, I was not a happy bunny.
Go back this year (ten years later) and I will be drinking!

Make sure you activate the Gun Mod! Remember that zone is PVE with slight PVP

We are really derailing this thread...

So yeah I had a chance to go to a gun range this trip but turned it down. Whilst it would be interesting I will be honest in saying they kind of scare the crap out of me and I am not sure how comfortable I would feel in an environment where there are a lot of random people shooting guns.

When I go back, the gun range is on my list.

Swedish bf has shot machine guns, but no pistols. I must rectify this.

So, it's Fredas and time for a silly thread.
I stumbled upon this picture and it got me thinking...

I have a tendency to always look for the best spot to hide from a sniper, or the structure most easily defendable from a zombie attack.

What are your gamer reflexes doing to your brain when out in the real world?

Having a conversation with my boss about a local subdivision in our area called "Stonehaven" and I kept repeatedly calling it "Stormhaven". She probably thinks I'm a tool now.

I don't think I have ever brought the gaming world into reality...However after all my years of gaming I can tell you that I don't dream..if I do dream I can't ever remember it... I heard someone say once its because you game so much that your brain begins to tell you what is real and what is not so you instantly can tell that your dreams are fake, and you can control "not" to dream.

Here is an article about it that i just found for you guys to check out, I can't be the only one who does this:

This happens with me too! Always found it odd but never really looked into it. Now I know

Fantastic graphics, crappy gameplay.

Also horrible RNG, very little endgame, and don't even get me started about the grind.

On a more familiar note, it likes to constantly change the 'rules' too.

My character always runs the content solo...

I see the beautiful and scantily-clad elf girls walking by... I never talk to them. My quest log is already full and I can't afford the requisite build setup.

My current spec and Mundus just aren't well suited to a support role. The divines mock my pain.

@Phinix1 , the only reason I can see you don't have more awesome's (fixing that now) is that people aren't making the connection.

Well done, sir!

or the 'support role' bit is a bit patronising to 'elf-girls' -

or 'elf-girls' should lighten up and learn to take a joke

When there's a fight going down, i always taunt the biggest guy, and then ask my friend to keep heals up. Mostlt my friend looks at me weirdly, as i get beaten up.

Perma-permadeath enabled. I tried to talk to the developer about this or customer service, but you don't get any answers. Although there are 3rd party downloads that claim you can come back but you never get confirmation if this feature really works. Others think it will simply unlock a secret cow level.

Real World is the best Open World MMO ever made. The playable map covers the size of an entire planet with numerous different biomes and untold levels of diversity and detail in it's terrain design. There is no fast travel system, only conventional real-time methods of transport. You can play the global economy however you want, get as rich or poor as you want, and the combat system is so realistic, if you die even once in-game, you literally die.

Not real life, but when i went back to skyrim I was genuinely looking in containers, in dwemer ruins for purple motif pages. Also half expecting to find the same sort of loot in containers such as racial crafting mats.

The only thing that bugs me about that game is that the previous two players pick your race, class, attributes, most of your passives and stats and you have to mitigate it with a lot of points into one area or another.

Thankfully the healers are more reliable. the tanks are still rare. and the dps is still always focused on their own numbers instead off pulling adds off their fellow group member.

My one advice is try to build for self- sustain because the group finder is a real gamble.

Last time when I tapped my mom's shoulder from behind, she screamed, "I'm not going to turn around so you can stab me in the chest!"

(That particular animation is pretty rare though, seen it only once.)

Once when I was really tired and on the way to work I went past a field with some blue flowers, and not a word of a lie my brains first thought was I needed to pick the corn flower.

After that I realised I shouldn't really spend until early hours playing ESO.

My equivalent... in the pub.... couldn't stop staring at the shelf behind the bar where I was convinced the landlord was a Mage as he had Magicka potions on the shelves!

I think perhaps I had been enjoying the real life magicka potions on offer in the establishment a little long by that stage!

hahahaha hilarious to see this here. Me and some friends always buy each other a bottle of Bombay Sapphire every year as a joke after a once abysmal night out, a tradition now.

I'm fed up with this IRL game play. Endless load screens on the drive home, endless lag every Friday afternoon it seems like the clock doesn't move, gold disappearing from my bank.

Yeah well, but they do improve intelligence tempora.. temporaility.

See Alohol* kills the weak and slow brain cells, hence your brilliant thoughts after a potion! Can I get light bulb smiley?

*This is not a typo, this is how you pronounce it with heightened intelli... intellithings.

Btw, I do miss leveling acrobatics by jumping all the time. (Little bit unrelated but yeah, that happens with heightened brain power, your thoughts jump around).
