*We interrupt your regularly scheduled Friday Caption Fun activity for this very important message.
Last November I received an email from a friend asking if I knew any good “You know you play too much Halo when …” jokes. I couldn’t think of any off the top of my head so I have spent the last five months trying to craft a handful of somewhat funny lines. In that 150 day time span I have managed to come up with exactly zero witty endings to that sentence. While I can write some decent Halo-themed pick-up lines, apparently this task is completely out of my league.
This is where you come in. Can you compose some original and entertaining “You know you play too much Halo when ” lines? Leave your humorous attempts in a comment (submit as many as you like!) and I will pull the funniest of the bunch and make an article out of them that will be published next Friday. And no worries, as always you will get full credit if I use your line.
I’ll start things off. You know you play too much Halo when you can finish the rest of this sentence with something that makes Halo fanatics laugh. See, told you I wasn’t any good at this. Now have at it!

I don’t play much Halo anymore, but there are a few things I’ve done that are more community based that make a a total loser:
- I was walking slower than the group at a LAN and my wife said ‘Hey stop lagging.’ Then she laughed because she made a lag joke.
- I’ve met people I play Halo with in three countries (and the people have come from four)
- My first thought when a city or area of the country comes up is ‘Who do I know from Halo who lives there?’
- I can generally name at least one person within an hour or two drive
- PG doesn’t mean Parental Guidance, SF doesn’t mean San Francisco or Science Fiction and TTL doesn’t mean… well actually TTL doesn’t mean anything else, really
- My wife knows who I mean when I say ‘Krypto,’ ‘tiny,’ ‘Wolf,’ etc, which is good because they come up in daily conversation
- ‘MOM‘ and ‘my mom’ are two different people, and they’ve both mailed me care packages

[...] Do You Play Too Much Halo? *We interrupt your regularly scheduled Friday Caption Fun activity for this very important message. Last November I [...] [...]
you know you play too much halo when you realize that the reason there are only 49 achievements is because the 50th is your divorce.
- You’re meeting a friend in a public place, and they’re facing away from you and don’t see you yet, and you think about sneaking up for an assassination
- You and co-workers who also play Halo refer to a portion of the parking lot at work that’s elevated above the rest as “the sniper lot”. (If work were a multi-player Halo map, that clearly would be where the sniper rifle would spawn.)
- You call the warthog “chupathingy”.
Actually, that can’t happen. Halo 3 limits how many screen shots, saved films, film clips, game types, and forged maps you can have at once. So, you know you play too much Halo if:
- You discovered the limits set on Halo 3 saved content and were disappointed because you bought the 360 Elite with the 120GB hard drive so you could keep every saved film of every game you ever play. (Yes, that was why I bought the Elite.)
- You wrote your own program to automatically back up every Halo 3 screenshot you ever take to an off-site archive
- You figured out how to save as many Halo 3 saved assets as you want. (Yes there is a way to do this. You need a memory card and a cable to archive memory cards on a PC.)
- You wrote your own program to show you a selection of random Halo 3 screenshots. (Yes I’ve done this, but I’m not publishing the URL here. Send me a message if you’re really interested.)

You have a bumper sticker that imitates a hunting permit sticker and it says “Fragging permit with teabagging permitted”.
Your 8 year old and your girlfriend’s 9 and 13 year old all have their own gamertags, exclusively for Halo 3 at your house, and all three of them are likely to find my post on here… umm.. your post.
You’ve made a masterchief costume.
You’ve worn a masterchief costume.
You’re helping to write a charter for a club that specializes in Halo costumes (the 405th)
You wear another masterchief costume in a video. segments of the video, (showing you teabagging a downed opponent) get snagged and used on G4 as part of the Halo 3 countdown series. You’re proud because you suspect it’s the first official live teabagging shot on tv.
You live in a tiny house and insisted on buying the Pepsi MasterChief Standup, which is now standing in the kitchen, for lack of room anywhere else.
You’re planning to build a CNC router system solely for the purpose of creating molds for ANOTHER masterchief costume. You were going to start by casting the undersuit.
You have to fake other plans for it to justify all the time and money going into the CNC router.. to your girlfriend, who’s lives with you and is on Halo multiplayer every day.
You kept the innercardboard box for the Legendary helmet, and use it as a display piece on top of your computer, frustrated because you can’t get the top to stay up to show the Halo 3 symbol..
You still can’t bring yourself to throw away the Helmet protective fabric bag because it has the “3″ on it, but you’ve YET to find a good use for it.
Your desktop background reflects your favorite Halo 3 screenshots.
You get “top contributer” in the videogames section of Yahoo’s Questions/Answer program, answering only Halo questions, and getting “Best Answer” almost every time.
Your friends call you to ask about Halo custom game options, and you can recite the menus to them, while you’re driving home from work.
Your boss tells YOU what days you’re going to ask off for, one month ahead of Halo release dates.
You’ve seriously considered making a fullscale “rolling” warthog, but tabled the idea when you heard that WETA had made one. When you later see videos of the Weta version, you immediately spot the lack of split drive axles, and notice the painted-on boltheads on the body exterior.. you’re DAMN close to starting over again.. if only there was a way to justify it to your girlfriend, who now has a total of 3152 games of Halo 3.. her third FPS and/or console videogame (Halo 1 and 2 being her first two), which you hooked her on..
ah.. ok.. maybe that’s just me.
[...] Just found 2 sites that have some great Halo content. The first one where I re-posted one of the images from is named: Halo 3 Screenshots - fantastic and creative variants of the “save film” features found in the game. The second site (which looks to be owned by the same person/people/group) is HawtyMcBloggy who asks the question: “Do You Play Too Much Halo?” [...]
… when someone mentions zombies, you no longer think of George A. Romero.
when you reply to your girlfriend, “Oh that reminds me of something I heard the other day from ummm…a kid…xXspart…nevermind.” And she asks, “Are you talking about Halo?”
You know you play too much Halo when…
…you go to one of your parents that works with NASA and go into a really in-depth conversation about Slipspace
…every time you see a large group of clouds in a circular formation hovering above your house you think about the portal to the ARK
…you have a plan in case the Covenant attack
…when on your way to school/work/wherever with your friends and one of you begins to hum the Halo theme, you all join in at the same time, and end up with a full chorus
…you randomly begin to hum the Halo theme during the day
…you create your own game in forge using gravity hammers and swords, and have someone flying around as the monitor, everyone trying to kill the monitor
…your desktop is Halo themed
…your cursor is an energy sword
…you have only a tiny fragtion of free space left on your computer for having so much Halo stuff on your computer
…in art class, everything you did was Halo themed in one form or another
…you can’t get your stuff published in the school paper because all you draw is Halo (copyright)
…when asked to join your friends in going to a convention, everyone agrees that you should be Cortana
…you’re begging your parents to get you the Cortana tank top from Bungie.net
…and the pens
…and the backpacks
…and the posters, cards, notebooks, shirts, hats, hoodies (basically the whole store)
…you think it’s a sacrilige (sp?) when you arn’t wearing something Halo themed (like now TT_TT)
All of these are true
…when you start kissing scorpions in the desert.
…when, while watching the Ghostbusters film, you say they are breaching Halo copyright.
…. you expect plasma grenades in any Mario Kart game as an item
You know you play too much halo when…
…you get in a debate in public about the redundancy of dual-weilding energy swords where everyone can hear you; and you don’t care.
You hear someone’s stomach growl, and your trigger finger twitches.
You happen to notice that the texture on the LIbrary’s elevator from the first halo happens to forma little clover in the middle, almost as if trying to say “Good luck, you’ll need it.”
Your trigger finger twitches (yet again) whenever someone mentions going to the Library or the Mall, just because it soulds like the Maw.
You can draw Master Cheif’s armor from memory.
Everyone else thinks you messed up when you say Mister Cheif.
Oh, wait; I’ve got a few more, and like the previous, they’re all true.
You see the moon out in the morning, and at first confuse it with High Charity.
You have toy guns and other fake weapons strategicly placed throught your room.
…When you USED to make a special effort every monday, wednesday, and friday to check HBO for One One Se7en.
… and now get really excited whenever one does come out, even though the jokes are horrible
Hey RyJen,
Remember this from you:
RyJen (06:30:36) :
……..the bumper sticker on your car reads “My other car is a WARTHOG”
which by the way, I would totally have that if they made it.
