20 Surefire Signs You're Playing Way Too Many Video Games

11. You Will Argue That Your Console Is Superior

Console Wars Gif Even when it makes absolutely no sense and you're doing it without even realising it, you'll argue the toss that your console of choice is superior in every way to the competition and will refuse at all times to hear actual coherent arguments why any other system might be even slightly appealing. You've spent so much time together with your console that you and it are inseparable and to hear anything else at all is blasphemy against its good name.

10. NO CAMPERS!

Camping Gif Who doesn't love a few nights under the stars, living off the land, toasting marshmallows and singing videogame tunes around the campfire? You don't, that's who. You totally hate campers and consider anything to do with camping against your life ethos. Everyone knows campers are just wusses who don't do things properly.

9. Every Time You Call Someone, Your Phone Dies

Sherlock Phone Gif Tis a mystery for sure; every single time you finally get round to some social interaction, your phone gives up the ghost immediately due to lack of battery. It's definitely not because you just spend five hours on Candy Crush trying to beat your top score.

8. Left Alone

Ezgif Save11 Gif After a two-day marathon where you've done nothing except play Dark Souls, you emerge from your gaming area to discover that your partner left you two days ago, claiming you love your games more than them in a tear-splashed note. Reading it through once, you shrug and once again prepare yourself to die over and over again and don't feel the slightest bit bad.
