UGLJon · November 2002

When you yell aloud "Commander I need pop and food at basement main junction 1!"

When you start wondering why you can't walk on your walls.

When you go up to a light switch and try to hit the use button.

Kung_Fool · November 2002

You know you have been playing too much when

you spit on walls to produce webs

you see a group of children and try to trample them to death because you think you are an Onos

you desperately try to get up the ceiling

you die and wonder why the screen is black for such a long time

your face has the same expression is my avatar´s

Hikeeba · November 2002

You call sleeping "gestating into a new life form."

You are constantly checking the cielings when you enter a room.

You get nervous going somewhere alone.

You see Fades everytime you close your eyes.

Tryon · November 2002

You know you've been playing too much NS when...

You take a break and find yourself surrounded by a dozen empty 2 liter bottles of Mountain Dew and your butt feels like you've gotten the ass kicking of a lifetime. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'>

Thats so true (except the UK doesn't have mountain dew)

Mendasp · November 2002

You know you've been playing too much NS when...

...you start this topic

you play CS and try to camp at ceilings

BTS_Squirrel · November 2002

you know when youve been playing too much when:

during normal sporting events (outside of the computer) you blame your lack of coordination on "lag" and state "i cant wait untill that sever patch comes out"

you start neglecting to wash your shower thinking "in a few weeks that'll be a prime hive spot"

you see the hud when you close your eyes.

you attempt to "spore cloud" the people in your car.... but it comes out different.

Chron · November 2002

You know you've played too much when, and this is a true story:

on the drive home from work fire hydrants turn into skulks, and you see giant electronic doors in the middle of the road.

UGLJon · November 2002

When you start referring to sinks and drinking fountains as resource nodes.

ignot · November 2002

.... When you no longer accuse everyone of cheating

SrCumference · November 2002

You know you've played too much Natural Selelection when...

A voice whispers "The enemy approaches" into your ear whenever someone tries to sneak up on you.

You keep trying to climb into the vents at school...

You stand still in the middle of the sidewalk and chuckle at every person who runs by you.

You're no longer able to say "Area clear" for fear of a skulk jumping out at you.

Somebody sneezes and you scream "ONOS!!!"

KI6 · November 2002

You know you've been playing too much Natural Selection when:

You get expelled from school for welding your teacher.

you see a fat man lumbering down the street and you quickly dodge to the left yelling "O SH!T, RUN! ONO!!!!!"

ive actually been dreaming about ns.... blah....

Radiocage · November 2002

You know you've been playing NS too long when:

Everytime you see a mushroom you think: Defense Chamber and you stand by it expecting to revive your health.

Everytime you see a tripod you immediatly duck for cover for fear of turrets.

You watch the simpsons and note how much Homer's head is shaped like a heavy's helmet.

You see your pet cat turn the corner from the kitched and you start shouting "I need a medpack STAT!"

When you don't cut your fingernails so you can climb the walls of your house.

When you sit on the toilet you expect a little commander hud to pop up.

C0nan_The_Librarian · November 2002

You know when youve played ns too much when(these have really happened to me).

You are doing the dishes and you hear a skulk growling behind you.

You are sitting in your living room and you hear the buttons in ns.

You constantly hear ns sounds during your daily activities.

*this one just happened* When you are making oatmeal cookies and they turn out to look like skulks...ok ok I made them look like that.

Malice_101 · November 2002

You know when you've been playing too much NS when you even contemplate replying to a "You know you've been playing too much...." thread.

/me eats self.

GhostfaceKillah · November 2002

this is more of a "you know u need friends when" thread

ZeroByte · November 2002

You know you've been playing too much NS when you're walking in a crowded hallway and you think "if i had celerity, i can rush down this hallway biting people and get there faster"

UnCritical · November 2002

When you go to sleep after big game and can still here marine turrets beeping slowly.

When you think the old man hunched up in the street with a walking stick is actually a fade at first glance.

You sit at your workplace and imagine how cool itd be if this was a ns map. (i do that alllll day long)

You get out of bed and start saying 'Awaiting orders'

The one about standing it the middle of the street chuckling at passers by was hillarious <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

DracoPaladore · November 2002

You try to make an offensive chamber on your school desk. Only resulting in a mess of paper clips, glues, and paper.

FunkTheMonk · November 2002

you wreck your bosses office because you mistake it for a command console

You know you've <b>really</b> been playing too much when you see it with your eyes open.

CForrester · November 2002

You know you've played NS when you scream and run away whenever something beeps like a Marine turret.

Tabris · November 2002

(ok this one really happned to me.. im not a morning person)

When you wake up to your dog in the morning after dreaming about ns.... then ask her why she isnt off building O chambers......(shes a little chubby)

RhoadsToNowhere · November 2002

...when you realize that if you could blink, it would let you get across campus about 10 times as quickly, leaving you more time to goof off between classes. (I'm serious, it'd be really dang useful!) <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

GhostBomber · November 2002

When you run and lean against a fence, waiting for yourself to explode so your friends can get through.

When you become to scared to walk through your house and you must take a flashlight shine it in every corner and nook, just to get a glass of water.

When you discuss strategies with yourself, or even what went wrong in the game you just played in, while on your 'throne.'

When you're in a situation similar to number 2, except a bit more careless (not every corner gets flashlighted) and your cat runs really quickly by your feet (brushing against you), you crap your pants (true story).
