You know when you've played MineCraft too much when you go in the garage, it's dark and you think, "I need to put some torches down before a creeper spawns!" <- This is a true story.
You know you've played SC to much when you look at the MPH on your car and think, "My APM is too low!"
... when you're playing an RL game and you're losing, you instantly make plans to quit this game and join another. Then realize that you can't and go to the second plan: say you're team is a bunch of noobs.
Given some of my past employers I wouldn't doubt it.
... when you get into an argument with Gears of War fan over whether chainsaws or a shield and flamethrower would be more effective at close quarters combat....
I don't see that there's much of an argument there. Shield (assuming it's metal and not wood) can block chainsaw, and then you burn him with the flamethrower.
(The following actually happened to me at college in 2005)
You know you and your roommate both play too much Starcraft if you tell him "I'm going to my physics lab" and he says "You studying Yamato Guns?" to which you reply, "No, Colossus Reactor"

Sounds like you've also done the first one xD
...You see sticky tar on the ground and think 'Gotta scan to pick off that tumor'
...You think that a nuclear reactor is incredibly OP.
...When you see an ad for the royal marines you think 'Since when was Mengsk a king?'
...When playing Civilisation and purchasing the Collossus, you think you are going to get a futuristic unit
...You get in a fight with an ultralisk. A real ultralisk can actually kill stuff xD
...You think that anyone who doesn't play SC2 is an abomination and must be destroyed. So you get a metal suit and a flamethrower and call yourself a firebat.

And a chainsaw god damn it!
... when you're roommate is yelling at you to come out of your room for Gears of War night, and you're response is "FUCK OFF DUDE I NEED TO FINISH THIS GAME." And that game happens to Starcraft.
Very old thread, but gonna revive it with some of my own:
You know you have been playing too much Starcraft when........
You lay awake trying to think of what trigger activates the sleep function.
You get pissed off at the build time of an order at the Grocery store and try to open the Data Editor.
You think of the Protoss whenever you see a tossed salad or hear the word salad mentioned.
Whenever you can't do something you wonder where the hell are my damn overlords.
You actively attempt to use starcraft in jokes. IE a friend/coworker asks you if you can do something, and your response is "We Require More Vespene Gas!"
You turn down sex to finish part of your map.
You see blurry images of the data/trigger editor when you close your eyes to go to sleep.
You search for a drop button when a friend/family member is taking 5 seconds too long.
All I can think of for now, at least that is actually funny and not just plain sad.
...if your kids are named "Tassadar" and "Zeratul"
...if you put a label on your car's fuel guage says "Vespene Gas Only"
...if you answer the phone by saying "En Taro Adun!"
....if u say "I have X Minerals" instead of "I have X Cash" ....if u call medivacs/hercules to airplanes..
I'm gonna say one that's not SC related...

- This is a true story.You know you've played SC to much when you look at the MPH on your car and think, "My APM is too low!"
You know you play SC too much if...
...you find out your being stalked and then put up a sign "Marauder wanted"
...you qeue too many pizzas (well, thats actually a sign of your macro being bad as well)
...you require moar overlordz
...you try to FF your front door anytime a sales man rings the doorbell
...you blame losing your job on the popularity system
...chicken tastes like zergling
...you're too tired to get up in the morning and think "shoulda researched khaydarin amulet"
...your girlfriend dumped you because your average unspent was over 500 (Just kidding... Us nerds and girlfriends? lol...)
You know you spend too much time on the editor if...
...you make a trigger that does your homework for you
...you check your wife for bugs
...you're shopping bag is too full and you try to put in one more item and the message "exceeds array bounds" appears in your mind
Can't think of more atm.
"...you blame losing your job on the popularity system"

Clearly the right answer is a shield wielding man with a chainsaw on the end of the flamethrower.
He's not?

When you think of joining the marines but you don't mean the US Navy.
When you think of conquering the planet like the Dominion in real life.
you know you play sc too much when...
When you get up in the morning so dead tired your paralyzed and think "Dang it! Fungal Growth again!"
...when you manage to wake up from a nightmare by pressing alt F4

All I can think of for now, at least that is actually funny and not just plain sad.
Instead of saying "Fuck my life.", you say "HuK my life."
You make Husky jokes. What do you get when you cross Idra with Husky? A Hydra.
When you make yomama jokes pertaining to Starcraft.
"Yo mama so fat that when she needs to sit down, she has to research Siege Mode first."
"Yo mama so fat that when she enters the room, everyone says "CARRIER HAS ARRIVED!"
