Does It Mean I'm Addicted To DDO If . . .

[Stermlin]

I see a commercial for a truck claiming 381 HP and I think: "****, what a gimp truck. Clearly it dumped Con and didn't take toughness."

381's not bad for a truck that size. if you saw it on a commercial it's probably 381 stock, shouldnt take much aftermarket goodness to get it to a respectable number.

besides we dont know if this will be driven casually or in more hardcore ventures, 381's fine depending on the terrain.

Yes. Yes it does.

Re: Original question

if I try to work out in my head what each of my friends alignments would be if they existed in a game setting?

I actually meant that my first interpretation of 381 HP was 381 hitpoints. Hence the dumped Con.

Yes. Yes it does.

What about imagining running through work slapping everyone in the face to get agro, then when everyone is grouped up as they chase you, casting Wail?

381's not bad for a rogue. ihe's a first lifer so that's probably 381 base, shouldnt take much gear to get it to a respectable number.

besides we dont know if he's a more casual player or into more hardcore ventures, 381's fine for shroud and easy epics.


Translation above.

clearly you need to play MORE ddo if you didnt catch the fairly obvious ddo-esque rhetoric in my original post :P

[sirgog]

Saw a reckless driver on the road a while back and actually thought 'gee, they zerged that intersection'.

True story.

My bad. I clearly need to play MUCH more.

WhoA. Weird but playing a monk has caused me to be a more introspective person IRL. Oo. Crazy stuff our minds do when they wander to the cooler imaginations.

I answered to a Colleague at work: "Don´t worry, it is WAI" (I am in Germany so it was: "Mach Dir keine Sorgen, es ist WAI"). He didn´t understand the second part, but he didn´t care, as in our office it is very common to mumble, to give no information, or cryptic curses.

Nothing beats my Everquest days during one summer in high school. No job, so I just EQ'd, slept, ate, and EQ'd more. Note that I played a wizard, so I teleported around a lot.

After a ridiculous 4 day stretch of this, I was hungry around...some time when the sun was up, and thought to myself "where's the closest teleport spot to that pizza place?" Took me like a minute to realize something was wrong there.

Also during the schoolyear, I played Legend of Dragoon enough that I started seeing little blue squares closing in on my cereal while eating breakfast. Drove to school, started chatting with friends before class, then woke up enough to realize the blue square thing wasn't normal.

What can I say? When I play, I play hard.

Aye, I often wonder whether catholic priests in Ireland are necromantic palemasters, after all, they worship a 2000 year old zombie, and their sermons seem to turn the people in their church into moaning zombies. (Just watch a priest in Ireland giving a mass, and listen to the low moaning responses that the people attending give when prompted, it's actually quite scary, and return of the living dead-esque: Braaaaiiiinnss. :))

Sorry if that offends anyone.

Tell: YourXwife tells you, 'Its over! I am taking the kids and I'm leaving you!!!'

/squelch

(apparently she created an account to let me know)

[holfrar]

Last week, the Wife and i were chatting about buying a new cooker, looking at the financial side of it i turned to her and said
'how much plat do we have in the bank at the mo?'

She just looked at me a laughed

If:

You say, "Afk bio" to your co-workers when you take a bathroom break.

You are watching a movie counting the critical hits, or shout, "crit" when the bad guy gets nailed at the end (this usually happens just as the good guy has been beaten to a pulp and is about to be dispatched).

You imagine floaty numbers over the heads of the MMA/UFC fighters.

Yea, as said above, 381 is probably base.

You gota add in a GFL exhaust, +6 con rims and the 10hp bonus for quick delivery.

Having the initial thought does not mean you're addicted to DDO.

Coming here and posting about it does.

:p

[sebastianosmith]

You're not addicted, just thinking differently. I refer to the spiders in our house as "Insect Crowd Control".....

I can quit anytime I want.

As much as things like Blade Barrier & Implosion are awesome in-game, the spell I keep wanting to cast in RL is Cometfall. Just pointing and having a boulder knock people on their rears would be so awesome.

[hecate355]

One day i woke up and logged into ddo. Went on our airship, buffed up yada yada, everything was as usually, heard all the sounds of shrines etc. But then i realized that my stereo system wasnt even turned on yet. But i heard ddo sound loud and clear...

EDIT: Imagination is powerful, it can fill up gaps, as if nothing was ever missing.

1) While dreaming usable items become highlighted when you look directly at them

2) You've suggested rolling for the last piece of pizza

3) One of your students says something stupid and comment to self is "he must have rolled a 1 on that INT check"

Nooooooooo, because


I can quit anytime I want.

I just don't want to!

Haha, I do that at work. "Ooooh, Natural One. Bummer" Don't think anyone has figured it out yet.

You know what we need? A thread about, " You might be a DDO addict if....."

[Tacktik]

Had a dream last night, normal stuff. Suddenly, I went from having to assassinate President Elmo to running around eChrono as a bard. Been happening a lot lately.

And yes, I can quit if I want to as well.

[ycheese123]

Sometimes when I go to text or call my best friend, whose name is Chris, I press "G" in my contacts on my phone because his main character's name is Gladyss.

(You might be a DDO addict if..... you text your friend's character's name instead of their real life name.)

[Arysta]

I was watching Jeopardy! with my mom tonight.. And one of the questions started with: "Bring me the head of..", and I immediately shouted Ghola Fan!! Mom now thinks I have completely lost my mind.. And, no.. That wasn't the correct answer lol.
