You Might Be A Gamer If...

Last night a bunch of us on Twitter tried(and are still trying) to get the trend #youmightbeagamerif to become top trend.  A lot of them were pretty clever.  So I thought I'd share some of my favorites.

You might be a gamer if...

-you start trying to curb stomp people to get loot out of them
-the only parties you get invited to are on XBL!
-The Idea of paying over $200 to see your favorite band is absurd.  But that $250 collectors edition game is a great deal.
-you call coca cola, nuka cola
-you show up at midnight launches even though you preordered the game
-necromorphs are spawning from the dirty dishes in your sink
-your ringtones are all game soundtracks.
-you have played the same level 30 times in a row, so you can get that all important platinum trophy
-all your facebook status updates are your trophy/achievements acquired that day.
-you make alternate accounts based in other countries to get regional exclusives etc.
-you will stand in line for hours for a release but can't run down the street without having to catch your breath
-your first instinct is to melee when someone scares you.
-your k/d ratio is your rebuttal when someone is bragging about their car or income.
-you have a collection of snack wrappers in a perfect circle around you.
-you find yourself saying "ok this is my last map" for three + hours
-you buy the dlc to games you can't stand just because you HAVE to.
-you say "AutoBots Role Out" while your at the mall with your friends.
-you blame all your problems on lag.
-you refer to your friends by their gamer tag even though you know their real name.
-you have ever gone into withdrawal after not having played games/a game in days.
-you try to mute people who are annoying you in real life
-you keep a yellow gumball in your pocket in case of ghost emergencies.
-you know the conversion from microsoft points into dollars.
-someone offers you cake & you have an overwhelming need to say "the cake is a lie."
-your bargaining chips are "but I'm really close to the save point."
-you reference your mad Tetris skills when packing.
-when accomplishing something you say "bleep bloop" and pretend an "achievement earned" popped up.
-noob, pawn'd, K/D ratio, and owned, are everyday common words to you.
-when someone points out that you're wearing the same clothes yesterday you take that as a point of pride!
-when you walk into work instead of co-workers asking what you did last night, they ask you what game did you play.
-you know who LEROY JENKINS is!
-you revolve your sleep schedule around WOW raids.
-you wish at times you could throw a banana out the window to make the car behind you spin out.
-spending 40 hours in WOW sounds like a weekend come true.
-you might be a gamer if you still have 3 unopened games on your shelves cause you haven't beaten the last 5 you bought.
-the term teabagging makes you think of Call of Duty
-instead of oil companies being the evil corporations, in your opinion it's Activision.
