What tells you’re too obsessed with a game?

[The Blackangel]

I was thinking just now. Something hit me. When I saw that there was a RDR2 Zippo, I had to get it. You all know I collect Zippos. At the time Rockstar had a feature on their website that you could get a bundle. I got the Zippo, a steelbook, t-shirt, candle, and a copy of the ultimate edition of the game, which I already had. We have at current 3 PS4’s. One in our living room, one in my office, and one in the bedroom. I play RDR2 nonstop.

What makes me think I’m a bit too much into the game is that I also have several images on my phone that are my wallpaper, and I have the RDR2 app as well.

The damn game has invaded even my phone. There’s not a whole lot that I can’t tell you about the game. I’m not an RDR2 encyclopedia, but I do know the game really well.

But when you download an app on your phone, maybe it’s going a little far?

Your experience is not different from mine. Those experiences shows you're a lover of the game. The wallpapers of EA FIFA is well over my room, including the RL wallpapers of football.

Nothing wrong with that. You collect zippos and RDR2 stuff. When you start baking RDR2 cookies with the soundtrack playing, and dress up as one of the characters and talk like them, and draw up train heists, then we need to start thinking of an intervention.

For me it’s when I play nothing bit the game of the series of the game nonstop. Unfortunately for me I go through phases of this all the time.  I’ll abandon one game obsession and immediately go into another game obsession.

When I know that I'm obsessed via video game is the fact that I play for a very long time without changing for another video game.

I already talk like them. I have an accent that would match the way Arthur talks. Mine is a stronger southern drawl than his though. I grew up in the country on a small stock farm, and have a heavy redneck way of talking. Just ask @Rain Dew and she’ll confirm it. Think Granny Clampton.

As for the cookies though…..

One thing I neglected to mention is that I was a cowgirl when I was younger. I was a bullrider as a teenager. Now I'm a total city girl. Needless to say, the pressures of my previous life, are happily left behind and forgotten.

It's simply an adventure during your early life, that's why life is totally unpredictable. One who is poor today can be rich and live a better life. I am hoping to be a game dev in the future.

I'm obsessed with racing games, and I love almost all 3D racing games.

If you can't go any minute of the day without thinking about the particular game, you sleep and dream about it, then you are definitely obsessed with it.
