No need to rush it, everyone always seems to do something that needs a lock eventually, be it for good or ill.

1149: When playing Spellforce: The Order of Dawn, you see a bunch of Dwarven Militia coming down a mountain and think "I'm going to need magic attacks"

(Actually happened, I have so many games that if I play one for too long it starts to affect my thinking in the others)

1151: Your playing SX, your teammate ends his turn...
Then you discover you have just calculated the results of the AI's turn.

On your maths exam, you need to figure out the possibility that at least 231 out of 400 fishes surviving a day in poisoned water with a survival rate of 61.5%
The first thing that comes to mind is "Oh, so this is just like a 1-400 close-combat attack against a dark adept with 231 life, with a hit ratio 0f 61.5% chance, completely forgetting the actual story around it you calculate it with that story in mind.

I got the highest score on that exam :)

1152. When you read through all 1,151 reasons why you've been playing Wesnoth too long
1153. You jerk uncontrollably when your Grand Knight, Great Mage, or Elvish Sylph dies, and then impulsively save-load.
1154. You think fondly of smashing orcs with horsemen's charge while humming the Main Menu theme to sleep.
1155. You convert all the OGGs to MP3 so that an MP3 player will take them so you can listen to the music all day.
1156. You spend all your time on these forums.
I am of two minds; I shall be complete when I can bring them into harmony.

Learning swordplay from an elf OR studying magic under Delfador.

Ooh, I tingle with anticipation. I should stop. I'll depress myself thinking about how this isn't actually possible. :(
