Taking one of my hobbies too seriously

[Vernian]

I'm not sure how many people here will quite understand, but last night I was playing and online game (lord of the rings online) where you have a character that can explore a virtual world.

As my character was running along, suddenly the sky in the virtual world darkened with some ominous clouds and my first thought was "where's my camera, this will could be a great shot!" Needless to say I felt a bit silly afterwards.

Has anyone else had experiences like this, maybe when watching a movie or something?

I quite often thought, while watching the Lord of the Rings films, 'Where's my camera, I want to smack Peter Jackson over the head with it.', but then I'm a book purist.

The sky in the Lonelands and Forochel are stunning

Yes, it was as I was entering Lonelands that this happened (I think). My hobbit is still quite little, but I'm sure I'll get to see that some day, so I'll keep a special eye out for Forochel skies, thanks!
