Forum:You know you have played too much New Vegas when...


 * ... When you do something wrong and keep thinking you can load back. Seriously, I do this when I get in trouble at school.
 * ... You keep all bottle caps instinctively.
 * ... You find yourself absentmindedly singing crooners, and interrupting with nonsensical sentences such as "Moe? FAVORITE CENTAUR MOE?"
 * ... You consider harvesting the blades of unused lawnmowers.
 * ... You realize the toilet water also is purified.
 * ... You feel sick, drink a soda and then become confused as to why you aren't feeling better.
 * ... You check mailboxes, computers, tin cans and entrances for explosives.
 * ... You consider looking for a pair of pants to repair your broken pair of pants.
 * ... You realize all your radio channels lack something.
 * ... You tried to type [set user:enquire] on a locked computer... while eating Mentos.

When you try entering third person and are confused as to why it won't work. Crossfire XVI 13:34, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

Any others? AngryNorwegianDude (Talk) 16:57, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

when you spend hours getting every single gold bar out of the vault in dead money and then instead of selling them put them in your house

When you walk into work one day with a leap pipe and kill your boss, then when the cops show up you try to kill them but just get tazed. Then after 5 years you get to smuggle in a laptop, and the first thing you do is go to fallout wiki, then you put this exact story on a forum. OR... when you eat a "radroach"User:Denis517

When i see some ants or lizards or any kind of bugs, I'm trying to activate my vats, but it doesn't work. Sigh...Pappy002 17:48, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

This is kinda apt if yet scary. My work colleague(who plays FA3 and NV) and sat and discussed various ways we could bring about the world of Fallout in which we love. We stopped ourselves short of saying we would commit to blowing up nukes, but I left the conversation wondering....

THAT is too much Fallout, not the miniscule stuff the OP said. :) Kaldhore 19:29, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

Your love of fallout will destroy us all.

When you start saying nuka-cola instead of coca-cola. And get a strange desire to eat iguanas. Zion115 20:33, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

Once I was at a party at some sort of artist warehouse/garage type of space. I was playing a lot of Fallout 3 at the time. I spotted a bottle of turpentine all the way across the room on a shelf. I kept getting the urge to go over and steal it. Honestly the only thing stopping me was that I knew I wouldn't be able to find a nuka quantum to make a grenade with. --hippiehop 15:30, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

When you're running late, and try to teleport somewhere using your unusually bulky watch instead of walking? 15:34, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

When you get confused as to why your pants don't jump on when you use your aforemantioned bulky clock? Scarface11235 15:38, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

When you start ducktaping guns when they jam.

When you try to carry several hundred items because they weigh less than 2.

When you see fireants in the lawn and try and look online for a fireproof suit. Zion115 19:02, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

When you kill a person just so you can level up. And then you're confused when it doesn't work. And you then realize that there are consequences to murder in the real world and you can't just walk away with "karma loss". Someone I know may or may not have done something like that.

When you walt into a liquor store and try to trade a crappy gun for a bottle of vodka and the shopkeeper doesn't take it. Zion115 15:06, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

When you have nightmares where you are fighting a deathclaw, you bring up your pip boy, and the game DOESN'T PAUSE! Hemms 15:09, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

When you see a friend put a dollar in his pocket, and crouch down near his but and try to pull it out, and wonder how he caught you when you though for sure you where hidden. Zion115 23:07, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

I had a similair experience Hemms, had a dream where i was riding a Moped in a swamp while being chased by a Swamplurk, drove into a town when it ignored me and started killing the townsfolk, i then pulled out a Trail Carbine and started shooting it in the head, killed it, and then the town made a statue of me.

When someone asks you a question about the game and you always know the answer.--Terminator512 20:40, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

...I have five Coca-Cola bottlecaps from the glass bottles on my nightstand ...I think I need help Fisto! The Relentless 01:52, May 16, 2011 (UTC)

When you wonder if a bottle cap equals a dollar, would a soda can tab equal 50 cents.Pappy002 04:26, May 16, 2011 (UTC)

When you reach for a pipboy you don't have... I&#39;m the best at space!

When you force yourself to stop playing for a while, but can't get the game out of your mind. I had a dream I was being chased by a Deathclaw only to be saved by the dude on the cover. I saw a commercial on tv, it said "Top 10 things you wear on your wrist." And when it got to #1 I said "Pip-Boy". I'm such a loser. Pappy002 08:14, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

...When I say 'New Vegas' instead of 'Las Vegas'. --YakovFrolov 09:12, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

when my girlfriend quickly changes subject, i know its not how you woo a lady but i feel the lady killer perk is a waste of a perk. i had a dream once where i was going up to my local skatepark, got there but wasnt sure if i recognised the people there, so i used vats to zoom in and identify them!

You try to save befor doing something stupidHi im boq 12:54, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

You wonder why that lady at the corner store won't take your bottlecaps... Stupid asian lady... 5t3v0 11:57, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

Hahaha, I do the first one all the time. That's only when I stay up till 3:00 in the morning playing though. Vazok 16:49, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

When u start saying terminal instead of a computer. Or when you move to the mojave desert to persue your life as a courier who got shot in the head but after that part it doesnt really get any farther than that.

When you get pissed off at someone and look for a pyscho but you realise that you really need a slasher. Herion doesn't make a good alteritive.... 174.109.137.71 21:49, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

When you go to the drive through and order your meal, and when they ask you what you want to drink you say Nuka-Cola. ReapTheChaos 03:06, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

When you have perks and their skill and level requirements memorized so that you can spend your time at work playing mental puzzles with yourself of how to build a better character for your hundredth playthrough. Zac hemker 07:23, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

When you start collecting bottle caps just to see if there´s a star in the bottom 12:31, July 3, 2011

I got one. My roommates and I collect bottle caps. Originally, this wasn't a Fallout thing. We have a lot of nights where we drink a lot of beer(bottles. duh!). One day we were sitting there drinking a little bit and decided we were gonna start collecting all the bottle caps in a 5 gallon bucket. When we got about half way through filling the bucket up, someone asked us why we were doing that. At the time, we simply stated that we were doing it "just because". One evening, the bucket was full and we were looking for other containers to put caps in; my roommate walks into the kitchen, looks at the bucket and says "well, I guess we're ready for the Great War.". At this point in time, we have a 5 gallon bucket, a giant cheese puff container, and a big ol' cookie/candy jar full of bottle caps; along with several boxes and a 1 gallon zip-lock bag. When someone ask us what they're for now, we say the end of the world. Problem is, I think we might actually be serious about that. Not really sure. Probably something we need to discuss as a house. but that kinda tends to happen. 350+ hours on Fo3 with one playthrough, and around 600-700 hours on 2 playthrough's on New Vegas.

When instead of saying NPR (National Public Radio) you say NCR and your mom asks what you are you saying.

When you ask for Nuka-Cola at the drive through. ReapTheChaos 03:43, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

when you name your dog "dogmeat".

When you call actual money caps :) When you try to open a lock with a bobby pin and screwdriver :)

When you dream about frikkin FO:NV. Seriously, I had the first person view and everything, and it was about killing Moto-Runner because I spent the entire night trying to talk to him for that quest but he was hostile.

When you wait 3 days after killing someone, hoping the officials forget... Just an example :-/ Apod1010 16:33, July 14, 2011 (UTC)

When you look around you after you wake up to find your companions before realizing you sent them all to the Lucky 38... then realizing 10 minutes later there's no Lucky 38 and the world hasn't ended... yet. --JimHouse 08:13, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

When you break your leg, sleep, then get confused why you arent healed.

Get confused when you can't fast travel anywhere.

Imagine everything you have to do as a new quest- and name each one based on what you have to do and a pop culture reference

Buy a Dean Martin CD after listening to "Ain't That a Kick in the Head?: 1000 times on Radio New Vegas

You get a fedora and call it your Newsman Fedora

You wonder why the doctor won't make you stronger, smarter, luckier, more agile, etc. for 4000 bottle caps.

You don't understand why you can't move when you're carrying around hundreds of magazines and thousands upon thousands of bullets, bullet casings and bottle caps because they shouldn't weigh anything.

You can't understand why the clerk at the local store won't buy the drugs your trying to sell him, even after you explain politely you found some of it laying in abandoned shacks.

You get shot and just throw back a bottle Saspirilla.

And from Fallout 3... you access computers from the rear just in case someone rigged them to explode. --Pyoobez 22:46, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

I continuously call Las Vegas New Vegas. Today, my friend was telling me how her uncle was in Las Vegas, and I exclaimed that I wanted to go to New Vegas and hang out at the Gomorrah. Looks like I'm down a friend. Whatever, more fallout time! --DictatorDom14 17:46, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

You have an urge to order a Rum & Nuka from a bar.

When you watch a gladiator movie and it just looks wrong when the legionaries aren't carrying assault rifles.
