10 signs that you have been playing too much "Dawn of War 2"

Okay, so this post may just be for the nerdy niche of a nerdy niche, but hey, isn't that what Light Speed Gaming is all about?! ("Yes", in case you were confused and thought this was a big mainstream site)

Dawn of War 2 gives you a chance to wage real time strategy battles in the wonderful world of Warhammer 40k, giving you a choice between several of the different iconic Warhammer 40k factions such as Space Marines, Orks, Tyranids and more.

Is there really such a thing as too much Dawn of War 2??

Most hardcore gamers probably know the feeling of spending so much time with a game that your brain just keeps on being in "game mode" even after you've turned off the computer (or perhaps that's just me and the early signs of a disturbing mental disease).

If you experience any of the following symptoms, then it may be time to consider laying off the DoW for a little while..

10. You see a kindergarten class walking on the sidewalk on the other side of the road and you think: "I just hope he doesn't upgrade those gaunts with adrenal glands."


9. You go on a blind date and it turns out to be a real stinker. You grumble to yourself about how terrible the auto matching system is at finding same level Elo people.


8. When taking a walk you're always looking for green cover. Just in case you get ambushed by some Warp Spiders

"Maybe only yellow cover, but should take the sting out of their burst damage."

7. You are sitting at home on a Friday night and thinking you should get your friends over. Unfortunately you realize that you do not have enough red built up for "Call da boyz".


6. In order to remedy point #7 you go out into your garden and start killing bugs.


5. While involved in the #6 activity you yell: "Not so tough now are you, nids?!"


4. You plant a land mine under your bed because you are afraid that someone is going to try to decap it while you are out.

Wouldn't want to get your VP's drained while you're doing your shopping

3. You get into an argument with your girl friend. You want to just get out of the room, but you find yourself suppressed by her banshee howling.


2. The batteries of your remote runs out and you sigh: "Great, now I'll have to watch this tier 1 channel until I can get more power. And I was just about to tech up to America's Top Model"


1. You race at full speed on your bike through a red light into a busy intersection, screaming at the top of your lungs: "My face is my shield!"

Faces: Not actually a good alternative to a shield. Or a bike helmet.
