a) When your playing UT2k3 with some friends and over Roger Wilco you say God **obscenity** Gimme some Health b) When Adult Dipers look like a promising investment to you
You know you've played too much Natural Selelection when...
You use a welder to lock your car door. You try to figure out how many resources 'old faithful' would provide. You check above your bathroom doorway on the ceiling looking for that dog of yours. You use a cannon to take out a bee hive.
Last night, getting out of my car, arriving home after work...
The angle of the streetlamp made a large shadow move across the ground when I opened the car door, as if something were jumping at me (ie, a cloaked skulk) and I almost jumped. I looked up, and staring at me through the windshield is this sort of odd hyper-friendly cat with half a tail, whom I've nicknamed "Stumpy", thus almost giving me a heart attack. I think this cat may have belonged to the old lady who used to own the house I live at, because he's *always* trying to get inside.
I gave him a scratch behind the ears, he spent a minute head-butting me and trying to somehow actually force his face through my palm, I said "wtf Stumpy, you almost gave me a heart attack". Went inside. Played NS for two hours <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Saw some television footage on the news while riding the bus. Not sure what it was but it was white large and moving fast. The first thing that came to my mind was onos >_<
Also, this happened before I went to play NS. I saw my sisters toy rhino and yeah, again I thought of onos.
When you think "Man, give me an HMG and I'll waste that sister of mine, no contest"
You just got done from an 8 hour match and notice your room is STILL there
Your family members can hear you cursing and yelling at the machine as though you were in Vietnam (GET THE HELL DOWN NOW YOU IDIOT! NO RAMBO's! YOU HEAR ME SOLDIER! NOW FILL UP ON AMMO, GET ON MY TAIL, AND WE'LL GO KILL SOME SONS OF **obscenity**!)
You go to sleep only because you are too tired to continue NS'ing
When you reach for the mouse pad to access a menu to ask Mom what's for dinner (damn straight I was reaching for that mouse before I realized I was standing up in the living room no where near the computer)
Your cat **obscenity** terrorifies you
You keep checking everywhere in a room til you feel it's secured
You use hand signals or voice comm or team say to avoid alerting anyone to your presence
You find yourself posting on this thread
You've had a dream about NS (I have)
You are constantly thinking up new strategies or re-living in your mind kills that will always be there, like the time you took out 5 marines in 5 seconds before the 1.01 patch, with a fade, or when you Solo'd the hive with that jet pack, or even better, an Onos with an HMG and Jet Pack cause the dumb big boy was too stumpy to get into the sky and take you down
you know, on comment to that last one, I love doing that, I imagine the Onos player just **obscenity** yelling at his machine "GET DOWN HERE YOU LITTLE **obscenity**! GOD **obscenity** DMANIT! YOU JET PACK AND HMG **obscenity**! ILL **obscenity** AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ::screen fades to black:: -Aha, you got pwned-"

you walk up to people you despise and say "chomp chomp"
you freak out when yer dog runs by you really fast
yer dog gets a hairball and it sounds like a chuckle thereby making you sh*t yer shorts
you listen to a song and think "that would be perfect chomping music!"
you daydream of cool NS movies to make e.g. i have one involving the bite/drag idea...4 marines move down a hall and stop in a close walled room, the room is a bit dim...suddenly the view shifts from ceiling to floor and the marines get into a 'huddle' in the middle....you hear a chuckle...the marines look up...and at that moment 4 cloaked skulks fly out of the corners of the room and drag the marines off in different directions to their death all the while screaming bloody murder and 'heeeeelp!'...*sigh* if i could make those movies...
you refer to your desk as "the hive"
you refer to your toilet as "the cc"
you fall flat on yer face when a bird flys past you and yell "oh sh*t its a lerk!"
you look at your clock and think time has stopped, but then realize youve actually been playing 12 hours straight
you start playing at 1 am...take a glance outside and see that the sun is up
you run like hell to the bathroom in between spawn times
you fall asleep while building an oc, wake up to find you are the only one alive
you think about NS all day at work, during breaks, during lunch, cant wait to get home to chomp some meatpopcicles

You know you've been playing too much when you start throwing toothpicks at people hoping to parasite them.
You forget you have a scope on your hunting rifle
You are suddenly very wary of seedy dandelions, thinking that they are sensory chambers just waiting to parasite you.
Your teacher asks why you are hiding in the light fixture above the door chucklng.
You go for days without food so that your growling stomach sounds like an alien.
