You know you're a gamer when...

-Midday, weekend meals consist chiefly of cereal and candy
-You've used the words "item" and "inventory" in everyday conversation
-Your mom asks you if you "actually like girls"
-Whenever you drop something or make a mistake, you automatically try to restart life
-You know the difference between console controllers, and are willing to have a long discussion about the benefits and drawbacks of each one
-You've ever referred to a group of people as a "party"
-You spend 8 hours leveling up, and then bitch about 30 minutes of English homework
-You've ever wished a game was real
-You've tried examining objects in your surroundings in the hopes of finding something useful
-You constantly check out "strats" and forums to keep up with the buzz
-You get home from a 6.5-hour schoolday and remember nothing you learned in class, except that you wanted to try a new strategy or find out how to get a certain item
-You've ever been really angry, pointed at someone, and said "headshot"
-You almost never use the term "rape" to describe forced sexual intercourse
-You can't figure out why some people have long hair and high voices, and wear dresses sometimes
-You skip eating, sleeping, and/or elimination--on a regular basis--in order to play games
-You just spent the last 2 minutes reading this list

Huzzah I am a gamer! I still don't know why some people have long hair, high voices, and wear dresses sometimes.

You should write: You know your a noob is you select file save on Microsoft Word instead of ctrl + s.
OR: You know your a noob if all your zelots die because you don't know about attack run.
