You know you play too much TATW when...(can't think of anything humourous so i'll leave the first one to someone else...)

Groovy
When the body doen't flow enought blood to the leg on top of the table
"you are soldiers of Gondor, no matter what comes through that gate you will stand your ground!"
When my wife, who never plays the game, calls out from the other room, "I'm gonna stick you!"
You know youve played too much TATW when you see a bunch of people walking towards you and you begin to look around for terrain exploits and planing a flanking maneuvres
... when you have had Empire Total War on your computer for years, but haven't nearly touched it because you are still too busy playing this ancient M2TW crap.
We have developed speed but we have shut ourselves in: machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little: More than machinery we need humanity; More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.
- Charlie Chaplin
1. When you dream about playing TATW in your sleep.
2. When you spend two hours a day on TATW forums.
You know you play too much TATW when you have nightmares of being flanked by bloody trolls and orchs...
1. you call your colleagues "goblins"
2. brace, when see a horse approaching
3. say " is that what you want?" in a really weird voice
4. call your wife Saruman, if she's wearing the white nightgown
5. argue against "lame blitzing" in company strategy meetings
6. call your sales reps "hobitsessssss"
7. can't say what the capital of Lesotho is, but the route from Moria to Lake Evendim you know by heart
When your F5 key breaks after refreshing the TATW forum too many times...
When you pass a schoolexam and shout 'This is a heroic victory!'
1. When you see a white horse and suddenly cry "ShadowFax!"
2. When someone makes you angry and you suddenly tell them "Am gonna stick you" in a really raspy and deep voice (lol did it today)
3. When you see an old man with a really long white beard and call out "Gandalf!"
4. When you have a somewhat small friend that says something somewhat idiotic and you tell him "Silence Gimli"
5. When you have a very treasured object and someone asks you if they can use it and you say "Leave MY precious alone..."
6. When someone tells you we are getting a TATW (trip around the world) and you tell them "Awesome! Is the new version out!?"

... when you start thinking of Mūmakils as soon as anyone speaks in a middle-eastern accent.
... when your classmates shout out "trolls!" whilst on 4chan, and you start imagining how long they will last against that first, unstoppable charge.
... when you automatically start looking for trade routs and city shapes on real life maps.
... when you hear the music in the LOTR-movies and can barely hold yourself from laughing insanely because instead of epic views and the struggle of the Fellowship you start thinking of how puny your enemy looked when they mass routed half an hour ago.
