How about a ressurection of this then, it became a huge thread on the VBB. However, I don't have any ideas, so post away!
-
This should be at general freespace, I guess.
Anyway, you've played it too much when you design ships in ArchSpace with FS names. :D
-
When you get bored of it and start your own mod project.
-
: When you have Imaginary Beam Fights Between Capital Ship Replicas made out of Legos
: When you know more about Subspace theory than your Physics Teach
: When you actually expect one of these mods to be realeased in the next 2 years ;)
: When you think you can draw so u try to make a book of each species and starships then realise that your 8 year old cousins "tree" looks more like a vasudan than your's
: When you know generally how far each of the Systems in FS are from Earth in Lightyears
: When you know more about Space-Science in general than your Science teacher (yes true story :))
:and finally... when you sign up for HLPbb
-
:When God decends from the heavens, liquifies your internal organs, resurrects Moses and get's him to chisel the 11th commandment; Thou shalt go outside once in a while
:When crack addicts look down their nose at you
-
What noses? :devil:
-
: When you can spell and pronounce 'Hatshepsut'
-
...When you don't actually have time to make or post in "you know you play FS too much" threads.
Face it. Whilst we have all played FS too much in the past, I'm not sure how many of us still play FS too much. :p
-
Ah this was a good thread; anyone still have the original VBB copy? :D
-
You still play Squadwar!
-
1) Star Wars Geeks pity you because of your Freespace knowledge.
2) You talk to your real life friends about the game :nervous:
3) You print out stickers of Bosch Beer to cover your alcoholic beverages to look 133t.
4) You apply to the government for a name change to Aken Bosch.
5) You thought Interplay might let Volition create Freespace 3
6) You think your college professor should be dressed in uniform and be wearing a big hat to resemble his personality of Aken Bosch.
7) You thought Silent Threat was cool.
8) You tell your children the stories ripped from the old TaS thread on the VBB.
9) You think Will Smith looks like the guy from GTVA command without any hair.
10) You join an online community that is very close to one another and like it :nervous:
11) You think Styxx's Plan is just a cover to have a keg party while all of the forum-goers run for cover.
12) You cover your useless wingmen.
13) You think that woman pilot looks cute.

She is hot
-
14) Triumph the Insulting Dog chose you over Lord of the Rings fans to make fun of.
15) You tell your children war stories of your destruction of the Lucifer in the Delta Serpintis-Sol Jump Node.
16) You saved Capella.
17) Three or four years later after the last game of the series was released and after a big screwup on advertising, leaving FS2 barely marketed...theres still a community...and you're part of it.
-
1.)When you start screaming "Shivans!" in the middle of the night when its actually your mom.
2.)When you start telling mom and dad how you evaded wave after wave of Shivan fighters and bombers even though you know they haven't the slightest idae what the hell you are talking about.
3.)When you place a HUD on your car's dashboard that is identical to the one in FreeSpace 2.
4.)When you are caught in traffic jam and you start to imagine you are targeting that ridculously long truck with a lock-on triangle and pretend you are firing off 8 Tornadoes. All these including sound effects.
5.)When you are thinking of installing FreeSpace 2 into your girlfriend's computer. Even if she threatens to break up with you if you do that.
6.)When you paint your house with the background of space with Terran, Vasudan and Shivan ships included.
7.)When you go to Pizza Hut and ask them to make your pizza in the shape of a Ulysses.
8.)When you go to a shopping mall and see a vacuum cleaner. You then make a fool of yourself by screaming "Vasudans!!! That's a Vasudan destroyer!"
-
When you learn how to code in C++ specifically to mess with the FS2 source code...
When you spend your day waiting to respond to every thread on these forums....
-
When you still have a part of the VBB on your hard drive... :p
(unfortunately I don't have the original thread of this.....)
-
When you continuiosly rock back & forth mumbling
"Can't sleep, Shivans will eat me!"...
(It's true they said so!) :mad2: :mad2: :mad2:
-
You still play Squadwar!
Come to think of it, does anyone? :D Or is it completely dead now? :(
7) You thought Silent Threat was cool.
I did like the story, although its implementation (i.e. the missions) were quite poor. :p

When the cops want you to pullover because of speeding you try to launch countermessures.

This happened to me in a sense, I was playing Midtown Madness 2 and when the cops started chasing me I pressed the button on my joystick usually assigned to countermeasures in fs2.... :nervous:

Even worse:
2a.) When you tell your 5-year old son how you evaded wave after wave of Shivan fighters and bombers and he knows exactly what you're talking about. :)

Play FS too much?! Blasphemy! :p
-
- You start to apply freespace commands to everyday life, ie when someone enters a room, "N" enters your head.
- You think about how a certain dog's ears remind you of certain bits of a hecate...
- You take screenshots of your battles then print them and show them to your friends, so they can see how expertly you destroyed that flack turret.
- You try to visualise how big a Diemos would be parked next to objects like oil tankers and sky scrapers.

I think knowing about The Plan™ (and Capitalizing it) is bad enough. :p

-
Ok, some of those aren't true. They apply to me, and I haven't even played FS2. At all.
-
1.) You scour HLP forums and read every single post (even if the topics are over your head, or find them uninteresting)
2.) Watch a TV show / Movie and think "Oh Yeah, the're so lame even the Vasudans would kick their A$$
3.) Try to find people to make Shivan voice overs for your mod cause "it's gonna have the most *****in cut scenes EVER!"
4.) Find models of different things to throw at Pheonix V's Borg cause the Shivans can't handle it! (It's TRUE!)
:nod:

Yep it's alive, barely...
1. You can play every mission on the single campaign on insane just by relying on sound.
2. You don't even bother with the sound or graphics since you can visualize in your head the exact sequence of events.
-
: When you stop playing it completely
-
When you're half asleep and real life and FS intermingle, you start thinking of people as ships from FS. And that how you can sort out your life in FRED.
-
When you buy an encyclopedia of world mythology just to find new names for ships in your missions.
(I did this. Really.)

:lol::lol::lol: (dammit where's :wakka:?)
When you're writing a report for school and at the heading where you're supposed to write the subject, teacher, and date you write: Invasion of Capella System, Admiral Petrarch, 2335.
When writing a report on Egyptian mythology, you refer to Ra as a "Vasudan escape pod"...
...and proceed to detail its technical schematics.
You're still the only person the police have seen sweep a flashlight beam across the other guys car in a case of "Road Rage".
You refer to you parents and siblings as Alpha 2, Alpha 3, and Alpha 4.
You end up in court for asking around for space-crack, whistle, and expect your pet Shivan named Carl to show up and eat the judge.
You wonder about how you are on Earth even though the subspace node collapsed.
And I guess I should say that I only made up the first one. The others here are from our own earlier HLP thread on this topic. :D

I have the world facts one, hence the name GTVA "100 Years War".

I remember one from the VBB thread,
When asked to name an ancient emperor in History, you shout out, "Khonsu the Second"

1) As you look for someone you know at a meeting spot, you hear the distinctive "beep-beep-beep" of the missile lock-on sound.
-
You duck and cover every time there is a solar flare in case shivans have decided to blow up the sun.
You wonder if upgrading to a GF4 is a bad idea due to potential blurriness in FS2
You are the proud owner of a NTF Hat (can I have one?)
You spend your days contemplating the historical importance of the coverup around the events of Ross 128.
Can write a physics paper on the theories of subspace node navigation through a destabilising node
Actually understand the previous
know the spelling to every ship, place and character in the game, but not "splling"
forget the importance of other games, and go into a state of denial where non-other exist.
Call your worst enemy a traitorus shivan lackey
the ugly person next door makes you think that Shivans look preatty

hey listen Blue Lion and vyper, i was talking about non-fighter :) :D
if you want to know my favorite FIGHTER/BOMBER then it's definately in
FS1 = HERCULES (good armor, good gun mounts)
FS2 = ERINYES (good armor, good gun mounts)
I know nothing about FS2, so i don't know what the 'Perseus' is, though it sounds familiar.
Is it that highly acclaimed fighter everyone talks about?

You know you play too much freespace when after all you hard work ( and lots of begging) the wife tries the game out, loves it and wants you to make missions for multiplayer with her, you do this, but then she has to play the solo version because you are bored with playing.:nervous:
when you actually play the soundtrack in your car just to have that homey feeling
when you decide to pick the soundtrack apart......then enhance all of the music with crunching guitar work
when you are sitting in a traffic jam and you think....this is a good place for a shivan ambush....and you plan your next fred mission
when you remember everything you designed in your car oin that trafic jam and go home and make it. 9 hours later.
when you dress your children as vasudans and shivans for halloween.
when you learn to sew just so you can make the costumes for them :nervous:

That's it! Brilliant idea!
Hmm, should I do the little shivan w/ the blaster-for-a-head? But the Vasudan trick-or-treat box marked HEADZ would be fun too...
