1001 signs that you've played too much Half Life

[lord_galathon]

You get nervous and shoot all three of your own dogs because they looked like headcrabs and they snuck up on you.

 

[Steve]

Smack a number on that, galathon.

105) You throw bottles at strangers in the street just to see how many different versions of "no more" they can come up with.

 

[Letterhead]

its weird.. i guess its like thinking a tree has "nice textures" in real life

I have scared myself to no end doing just that, I'll be walking around and then remark to myself (or worse, to others) that the tree/building/grass up ahead look almost photorealistic.

106. You don't talk. Ever.

107. You run up to people and stare at them until they say something. If they don't, you hit them on the head with a briefcase.

108. You examine trash cans to see if there are any people hiding in them! (Sound familiar?)

109. You carry around binoculars vigorously looking down roads and in windows--everywhere you can--in hopes of seeing a strange man in a suit with a briefcase.

110. When you fall off a cliff or jump off a building (because that happens everyday, you know) you sustain a sprained ankle and land perfectly on your feet.

106) when i saw a canal with reflections in real life, i thought i was playing the game, lol

I pass by a canal with a dam and power lines and wooden polls jutting out of the water every day on the way to school--it reminds me so much of HL2. I'm always like, "Man, they could've put that in there...wait a sec, they did!"

You know youve been playing too much when someone breaks into your house while your in your bathroom, and you wonder why this map wont let you pick up the toilet.

We should have a poll or something to decide the top 10 of all these, and then someone make a video.

 

[Intamin]

Ha, good idea. But maybe we should get some more first?

Then agan, I know we'll never make it to 1001 b/c the threads sink to fast, and nothing will be original after the next 20 posts, I predict.
