The Top 8 Signs You’re a
Character in a Video Game

8> Your solution to the health care problem: Guzzle every bottle you can find.

7> You never have to buy anything. You just pick up stuff you find lying around.

6> You carry around every weapon you own, from a knife to a napalm-firing bazooka, with ammo for each.

5> Constantly telling kids about the olden days of eight bits, when you had black dots for eyes and were thankful for that.

4> You drive like a maniac, breaking traffic laws and running people over left and right, and never seem to get in much trouble about it — but you aren’t Halle Berry or Nick Nolte.

3> Every day it’s the same routine: Wake up, kill between 20 and 500 aliens, eventually get shot, start the day over.

2> You get knocked out by a +2 Pretzel of Choking, yet still manage to defeat the Evil Dictator.

and the Number 1 Sign You’re a Character in a Video Game…

1> Your tombstone reads, “Try Again? Y/N”
