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"

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

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.

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