You know your a game designer when...

[Dead-eye]

...your screen saver is a random photo inside Photoshop, so your boss thinks your working on something.

[Jonas]

Hahah

[Dead-eye]

...you ask yourself "where can I get 20 million dollars for free?"

...you ask yourself "where can I get 20 million dollars for free?"

You need to design games for that?

[Jonas]

Here are a few:

...you read the price tag on a can of tuna in the supermarket and you blurt out: "Damn that's imbalanced."

...you walk down the street and you have to keep fighting off the impulse to hide some goodies behind dumpsters or under benches.

...you can't visit any cool building without evaluating the layout in terms of gameplay, and you keep thinking "This would be a great place for a patrolling guard / a low-level combat encounter / a scripted sequence."

Of how many of these are you guilty?

[Jonas]

All of them. The first one, only once, but the others, all the time.

Every time I visit some place cool, I feel a great need to make something awesome happen there. All these atmospheric environments or interesting buildings, and not a single hidden treasure to discover or top-secret military base to infiltrate. It makes me sad

You're not looking hard enough JC!

[Jonas]

Okay let me rephrase that: Not a single hidden treasure to discover without getting jailed for theft or military base to infiltrate without getting shot.

Well remember the Academy Stealth Course, Stay crouched and keep behind cover, use combat only if necessary, and if you do, only use Non-Lethal combat.

[Dead-eye]

... you tripe over a crack in the street and yell "damn BSP Errors!"

[Xesum]

You just stare at things to pick them up.

[Jonas]

Eh that one would just be general gamer behaviour.

[Xesum]

You want to redo everything.

[Dead-eye]

...you find yourself making edits to your birth certificate.

Edit: You know because RL is unbalanced and you need to make it easier.
