You know you've played too much Lemmings when...

[drumnbach]

You think that all the films and songs referenced in the level titles are actually themselves referencing the level titles.

That's a good one

You know when you've played too much Lemmings when the panel of experts whom you hired to calculate the 'your productivity output'-'amount of time you've spent playing Lemmings' continuum notify you that the balance is skewed heavily toward the latter variable.

[Proxima]

When you remember you left something at home, you dig a little pit and build out of it to turn yourself round.

When you have to walk under a ladder or anything else that could be a new type of deadly trap, you ask a friend to go first so that you can get through safely.

Or:
When you are planning to write a fantasy series and intend to absolutely lace it with references to Lemmings level titles.

(That last one's me, as you might gather.)

[Chmera]

You want to learn a programming language just so you can an entirely new game with lemmings in it.(Guilty)

You want to donate huge amounts to genetic research so that they can eventually make you into a lemming. (Once again, guilty)

[Leviathan]

When you come up with the idea of making a remake with a total of 220 new levels (guilty too)

[Timballisto]

When you make your own lemmings shirt (guilty...it was an awesome shirt though and it went over really well at school).

When you can't reach something and you feel like building up to it.

When you compare suicide bombers to lemmings.

When you see a timer and think about lemmings.

When you draw lemmings all over your stuff for school (guilty).

When you remember lining up to go places in elementary school and comparing the lines to lines of lemmings.

When you compare suicide bombers to lemmings.

I guess I'm guilty of that one, since I came up with the quip earlier on this thread about suicide bombers being useful for one of the Holiday Lemmings '94 levels (the level is solved by nuking).

-You see an object and think of various ways for lemmings to handle it.
-You can explode by saying 5...4...3...2...1...
-You start to think that objects fall at a constant rate.
-You think an umbrella will let you fall indefinitely.
-You stay away from anything that looks like one of the traps.
-You jump and say "yipee" when walk through a door.
-When you try to do something and it seems impossible, you think of how to use glitches to do it.

-When you try to do something and it seems impossible, you think of how to use glitches to do it.[/
I've done that a couple of times for a few minutes with this feeling in the back of my head that somethings not right. Then i realize that I can't build a bridge or use an umbrella the way a lemming does.

"When you draw lemmings all over your stuff for school (guilty)".-also guilty
-When you try to do something and it seems impossible, you think of how to use glitches to do it.


Anyway, you know you've played too much lemmings when:

-You feel sorry for divers because you think they'll hit the trigger location and drown.
-You wake up from sleepwalking to find someone telling you to stop mining tunnels in their yard.
-You Suddenly start seeing lemmings instead of people everywhere.
-You see blockers instead of stop signs.
-You think you can reincarnate* in a lemmings level by dying
-You listen to lemmings music in school.(guilty)
-You wish you had A CD with lemmings music on it.(guilty)


*earlier post by Andi

When the lemmings die they just reincarnate to another level, soon you'll get used to them dy...reincarnating.

Me too; in the intro text to my level "One Winged Angel" I made a similar quip.

-Somebody holds a plastic/paper/whatever number 5 over your head for the sole purpose of making you freak out. It works.

-You often find yourself mindlessly walking in a straight line without even thinking where you're going. (Guilty.  [smiley=huh2.gif])

[JM]

When you get songs off Lemmings stuck in your head

[Jazzem]

Regarding the lemmings songs, I actually used the lemmings jukebox in I.T lessons. With the exception of the not-so-jolly tunes, it's very encouraging stuff!

Stupid school network blocked it though

[Chmera]

-When you are walking behind people, you tend to blank out completely and just follow them, usually  seriously weirding them out. (Guilty)

[Leviathan]

Then you must mine under the blocker to release him and you have access again

[Chmera]

-When you start making random Lemmings-related comments like Leviathan just did.  [smiley=winktounge.gif]

-You often wonder what it feels like to freefall off something high.(Guilty. 0_o)

[namida]

You cross even the busiest roads during the busiest times, unless there's a blocker stopping you.

You commit suicide without thinking or wanting to.
