Re: Has this happen to you?

I was trying out Wow a little while ago, becuase my friends kinda forced me to. I was speaking with them at school and we were talking about home much we hated Gold farmers. The whole 1 hour converstation I was saying GIL farmers this Gil farmers that. After an hour one of my firends said "What the F^%^ Is a GIL?" I noticed that the whole Time I was thinking FFXI....man I missed this game.

Ah, too many times has this happend to me, and I do so get the strangest of looks all the time.

Once, at school, I was showing a new student around. I was curious, so I started to ask what grade he was in. But, was came out of my mouth was "What job are you?" As soon as I said that, he looked at me like I was crazy, and it didn't help I was laughing uncontrolably about what I just said.

On another occasion, my friends and I were planning on attending a movie, and asked if someone else was going and my reply was "I have no idea, I sent her a /tell an hour ago, and she wasn't home" Sometimes I think I play this game too much!

Re: Has this happen to you?

On the third day I got sea, I was talking to my dad and decided to go play FF and I said to
him,

Me: "Guess what, Dad?"
Him: "What?"
Me: "I'm gonna go to sea!"
Him: "Umm, we live miles away from a sea what the f*** are you talking about?"
Me: "You take an airship there---"
Him: "Are you out of your mind?"

And thats when I realized wtf I was saying..>.>

Re: Has this happen to you?

It was kinda funny, at Fan Fest, we didn't even bother using real names. Would've just confused us, having to learn a name AND match it to another name.


"Hey, Feba, we're gonna get some food, you comin'?"


The sad thing was that none of us were at ALL uncomfortable with it, we all responded to our ingame names like we'd had them from birth.


Anyway, I have had FFXI dreams, but I don't really remember any one specifically right now.

Re: Has this happen to you?

I find myself referring to myself as "Etain" more often than I'd like. ~_~;

The other night I had a dream about running around my neighborhood chasing bunnies, and trying to decide whether to wear a Vermy or a Dalmatica. Yeah...

When I was camping Hoo Mjuu obsessively about a year or so ago, I had a dream that he dropped both light and dark staves for me. >_>

Another day I was following my boyfriend's car in my car, and kept hitting my steering wheel with my left index finger on my steering wheel to try to auto-run (I was very tired) and was thinking to myself how much easier it would be to follow him if I could get my target arrow on him...

Yes, I play this game WAY too much.

Re: Has this happen to you?

I must admit... when i am hanging out with some friends, i sometimes pretend to be able to do /sea all to see how many people are inside the city, and i try to /check the others to see their equip. Never dreamt anything about it so far...

Re: Has this happen to you?

My youngest daughter got a Strawberry Shortcake computer game for her 4th birthday. One of the things to do on it is collect ingredients to make cookies for a cookie party. My hubby was playing it with her and she was quite eager to make the cookies. All I hear from my hubby is "Okay, we farmed enough ingredients, let's go synth your cookies." He looked at me oddly when I started laughing at him.

Re: Has this happen to you?

For a while, I couldn't think of anything. I've never referred to real money as gil, never confused my verbiage, but one time...

While driving along, trying to get to some place I've never been, not sure which way I'm heading, I'll obsessively check the lower left corner of my windshield for a compass.

I'm going to get one of those sticky ones and stick it there to satisfy myself.

Heheh I know the feeling of being more comfortable using in game names instead or real names.

But it's even worst when you get a package and you actually sign using your online name. Raydeus isn't a common name around here.

I do that all the time, and sometimes I try display the map in my mind , it's a reflex


Edit> Also, my city/road maps (real ones) have all this marks to point stuff out, I never did that till I started playing, and of course most references are all FFXI-like.

Re: Has this happen to you?

I think everyone wheter they admit it or not has slipped in RL with game terms. I have refferd to money as gil a lot and a few times when getting up to go to the bath room i have told my family "i have to go away from keyborad a sec to use the water closet". My dad looked at me and just shook his head.

Re: Has this happen to you?

Just the other night I dreamed that I wasn't actually sleeping and that I had just gotten an invite to party after seeking in the dunes all night. When my (RL) alarm clock went off, my dream self "realized" that I had to go to work, so I very sadly informed my party that I had to go. In a half-woken state, I hit the sleeptimer on the alarm clock and fell back to sleep, only to dream the exact. same. thing. over again. It was very frustrating.

When I was playing Katamari obsessively, I would automatically think about rolling things up while I was driving down the road. Like, "Oh, that mailbox would roll up quite nicely."
