I felt the coin slip from my hand as the clerk fumbled it to me...
the clink as it hit the floor and began a slow lazy roll towards the display shelf. As I stooped to search for the errant coin and failed to find it, was not the annoyed thought that came to mind.
Hey! You disappear, no fair!
Now you know my sign...
What is yours, that indication that gaming has taken hold in your life and altered thought, behavior, or morals? That indication that maybe we have played just a little bit too much.

Behavior? Nothing too radical but yes it can change some. Staying up later than I should, calling in sick at work, in that case it changes behavior but not any serious extent. Perhaps there are others I can't remember/think of right now ... pretty sure there are but probably more subtle.
Thought? Certainly games have many thoughts to them so playing does alter them - especially games that have social ties either external like Nexus or internal like an MMO.
As for a sign I have been playing a lot - like Shelley that would be dreams most likely. When a game gets into my dreams than I know I have been playing a lot. Also when a game habit comes up in real life, like your post here. I remember last week I had that experience when I saw a bottle cap on the ground and thought, I should save that ...
Don't feel to bad about missing work to play though, what is the difference, except the health benefits of just calling off work to go fishing or to play golf or to take that fine dog of yours for a walk.
lol...... Shelley and I both get a laugh each time we read about the bottle cap..
should I start saving mine and send them to you?

Now that I talked about me, I must say that you fit into a group of people that helps others here and that puts you very much in my esteem. Have a good one.
I am thankful that my son sent me Skyrim as a gift a couple years back, if it were not for that, I would have never met such wonderful people in this community.
