220. During the economic downturn, you were all, "Business has been poor what with the iron shortage and all."
221. Every time you go someplace new, you think, "This place has a sense of eeeevil about it."
222. When you open a disappointing Christmas present, you say, "Cheap sweater!" because you're an ungrateful git (according to your Uncle Lester, anyway.)
223. Every time you hear Cher on the radio, you think "Lerr lerr lerr! For Cher!" in Viconia's voice.
224. REM's "Don't Go Back to Nashville" is forever "Don't Go Back to Nashkel" in your mind.
225. When your pets start smacking each other around, you start going "Dun, dun, DUNNNN" like the dragon fight music.
226. You make your significant other giggle with references to your "Bhaal essence."
227. You put off advancing your romance until a patch is released.
228. When you can describe what every spell in the game does (at least their main function). Even to people who have no idea what you are talking about.
233. You know more CLUA Consoles (without writing them down or doing a copy & paste) than you know HTML.
234. When you are severely demotivated at work, you respond to bosses and colleagues with "Oh, what is the point?", "Whatever", and "I'll do what I can but expect very little." If you are forced into becoming project manager, you say "While leader, I'll endeavor not to get all of us killed."
235. You drop mega hints to your significant other that you want BG2:EE for your upcoming birthday/Christmas and it's instantly available online. He presents you with a lovely gift box instead with the iPhone 5S. You're disappointed. (This really happened.)
236. You recall being 13-17 years old and wanting to 'court' some hunky emo guy aged around 21-25 with a trashy romance novel voice then. Now you are 28-32 and you still want to date some emo 21-25-year-old, but you are 'open-minded' to also dating a virgin with an 'exotic' accent.
237. You can play a BG soundtrack on a musical instrument.
@Jackjack, which instrument? And which track? Shoot, now I need to learn to do it on my violin, or piano! Crap, and I was already worried about practicing the end of Rossini's "Barber of Seville" Overture on my viola, so I won't get embarrassed again at community orchestra practice this Tuesday!

Piano and guitar - I was trained classically in both - it started off with the main themes, and spiraled out of control from there…
@jackjack, I wish I could amplify my approval of your awesomeness by clicking one each of "insightful, agree, and like", or at least that I could triple-click on one of those three.
You are a true "Elan", my good friend.
On topic:
248. Valygar becomes "Roy" in your head canon. (Or, even better, maybe Charname.)
249. Yeslick becomes "Durkon" in your head canon.
250. Edwin becomes "Vaarsuvius" in your head canon. (Wish it could be Xan, but he ain't got the "juice" to be analogous.)
251. Imoen becomes "Haley" in your head canon.
252. Garrick becomes "Elan" in your head canon.
253. Montaron becomes "Belkar" in your head canon.
254. In the morning you check the forum first before reading the world news. After all, what's the risk of falling back into a new cold war era or a jet crashing off Vietnam compared to ranking first level mage spells or discussing the OPness of HLA traps?
255. You "like", "like", "like" posts that are indeed about y-o-u actually and understand 1) you have the BG syndrome and it can't be cured 2) people here are amazing 3) we all indeed have this syndrome 4) we are all doomed
257. In the library asking for the History of Shadowdale gets you the reply that they don't have that particular tome, instead of the expected "These walls contain the world's knowledge."
263: You let your girlfriend boss you about, believing that "the path of supremacy for a male, lies either in the bed chamber, or in the books of the magers".

Has she ever randomly yelled "Male, fetch me something to eat!" at you?

100) You start punching and kicking your childhood friends, shouting; "You will not fool me, wretched doppelgangers! DEATH TO YOU AAAAL! (male voice set)"...
