1. Whenever you lose a Dota game, you want to grab your weak team mate and punch him in the face.

Nope. Losing is pretty much the norm for me!

2. Your left thumb is always on the alt button whatever you’re doing at your computer. Maybe you want to check your facebook friend’s hp bar.

Nope. The only thing I use alt for is to tab out. I have HP bars on by default. Is this wrong?

3. When you get amazed at anything you call it ‘imba’. ‘He scored 99 at his math test, imba!’. You also call things that annoy you, ‘imba. ‘That guy is imba, he is damn fat’.

Erm.. nope.

4. You relate people’s appearances with Dota characters. You call guys with sharp teeth, Gondar. You call black friends, Nevermore. You call ugly fat guys, pudge.

Nope!

5. Winning a Dota game makes you feel like a celebrity. You stand up feeling that everyone is looking at you. You tend to snob weaker players and treat them as your fans.

I imagine so. Have yet to experience this.

6. You start getting fat because of lacking exercise but you ignore it. You think that as long as you win, you’d be a handsome celebrity.

getting :D

7. You play Dota from the moment you wake up until the last hour you are awake. Then, you continue playing in your dream.

Nope. Unfortunately I have other duties too (such as work and tf2.. oh and sometimes I have to talk to my girlfriend)..

8. Playing Dota is having several code names like, “mom, I’m doing my research I’ll be home at 2am.”, “yeah, dad I’m changing the tires of my car.”, “hello sweetheart, where am I? (thinking…) Damn, damn, the battery is low… (turn cell phone off and resume game)”

Nope, I haven’t been 16 years old for a while now..

9. You become so thrifty on anything except on Dota. You would endure not buying food for breakfast, lunch and dinner, then spend everything you earn playing Dota.

Why would I buy food in the first place? I have a girlfriend for that.. She cooks (wonderfully).

10. Dota became a third party on your relationship. Your girlfriend is starting to let you choose between her and Dota. The worse thing is, you choose Dota.

She’s too busy buying food and cleaning the house anyway.

11. You say the word ‘aw’ in really life. Girlfriend: “my mom is sick.” You: “aw, sorry to hear that..”

Yes, but how is that dota related?

12. You have a facebook photo album full of Dota screen shots though people don’t really care about it.

Nope.

13. You judge the totality of the person based on how good he plays. Ugly but good player would say, “How the hell that noob guy got a hot girlfriend?! I’m gonna tell his gf that he’s noob so she can change her mind.”

wut

14. You are enumerating Dota character names while doing other things like watching tv, walking to school, cooking, eating, pooping, dating.

Not yet!

15. Sexy fan arts of lady Dota characters make you aroused. Worse, you search for more sexy pics of Dota character. Worst! You search for their nude pics.

They’re not that amazing to be honest :/

16. You find it difficult to sleep after losing a Dota game. Your body rotates like 30 times while thinking before you sleep. You even hammer your pillow and repeat a phrase several times, like “I did my best!”. And sometimes, you’d do the most pathetic thing ever you can do with your life, you cry.

Totally true. Especially the part where I cry :'(

…. Nope.

17. When you go to a party with your friends to hang out, the topic you’re going to discuss are the following: Dota games played, Dota new plan, Dota character’s strengths and weaknesses, and how ‘imbalance’ is the food you’re eating.

…friends?

18. You try teaming up with good players because you get so afraid to lose a Dota game. You feel like losing a Dota game would turn you into a vapor and dissolve out from this planet.

It’s only so they can teach me stuff I swear! :D

19. You remember the exact time you bought all your items but forget the time your home will be locked.

lolmemory. I can’t even list the 7 TF2 classes without thinking about it.. Or are there 8?

20. You try to play better whenever a girl is near, thinking that they would approach and ask you to be her boyfriend after.

Haha.

Nope.

21. The years you are addicted to Dota would be the years you are in a different world, forgetting your real life. You wake up suddenly, “wtf, I’m 30 and I’m still at high school?!”

Hey I’m not quite 30 yet!

22. You depend on Dota games whether you’d be having money for your meal or not.

Can someone translate this into English? o.O

23. It’s your birthday and your birthday wish is to play Dota and won’t be disturbed by anyone.

Pretty accurate.

24. You start to have a hot-temper, like you want to cast lightning bolt on your teacher.

errr teens and school….

25. This is the ultimate test. Check your yahoo messenger, if 90% on the list are Dota buddies, congratulations! You are within the portals of Dota Realm.

Yay I don’t use Yahoo messenger!
…does anyone? o.O

tl;dr I’m clearly not addicted enough!

Did you quit tf2?

Did you quit tf2?

You underestimate the amount of free time I have (or rather, make) :D
