20 signs you're playing too much Tomb Raider

Seen a lot of this recently?

We have. In fact, having '100%-ed' Square Enix's wonderful new Tomb Raider reboot, we're starting to see Tomb Raider logic creeping into our real-world thoughts. A bit like the Tetris effect, but with more fire. So we thought we'd see if we're alone. Have you had any of these signs you're playing too much Tomb Raider?

WARNING: While we've tried hard not to spoil any major aspects of the game for you, there may some spoilers in here if you haven't played the game at all yet.

You carry around a lighter even if you don't smoke

You see a dog and think double-tap up for flaming arrow

You can't see the sea without looking for mines

You imagine a 'booomph' noise to help you look for things

You expect earthenware to fall apart at your slightest touch

You view black clouds with the utmost suspicion

But flat-out refuse to fly on a sunny day

You feel uneasy around fast-flowing water

You try to extract splinters via the more damaging direction

You dont feel at all bad about reading your friends diaries

You smell gas and immediately light a naked flame

You expect every object you find to be an antique

And decry anything Made in China as a fake

You simply MUST do something with all white rope

Shabby white garden gates are asking to be climbed

In fact, anything white is surely there for a reason

Which makes you wonder about the moon...

And the coats worn by the nice men...

And the walls of your padded cell...

Which you could surely escape from if only you had some fire

Did we miss any?

Perhaps you have different Tomb Raider-inspired thoughts from playing the game so much? Let us know in the comments. And don't worry, we're not really locked in a padded cell. We still had that lighter.
