Re: You know you've played too much Freespace when...
When at school you see somebody you hate and you look for a flamethrower under the chair....

And when you realize that there is no flamethrower, you say him "Look that ventilation duct. There must be something wrong in that. Go take a look..."  :D

does Carl ever get full? or are there enough n00bs to keep him fed?  ;7

Carl has a bottomless stomach, but thankfully, there are always plenty of n00bs around. I pity the day we start to run low.

The GTVA sure knows how to launch feint attacks. You have the Colossus with her engines shut off, her battle group (all three ships) who apparently had problems with their weapon reactors, and a motley crew of fighters. No wonder the Bastion's escorts got decimated.

 
Re: You know you've played too much Freespace when...
We shall never start to run low!


.... when you start having conversations like this in Hard Light's forums, you've played way too much Freespace.

EDIT: If you know about Hard Light at all you have played too much. :D

You know you play too much fs2 when you employ the infyrno to shake up other fighter formations in real life. My infyrnos are the king of linger, slow travel, humidity, longevity, taste, and silence :D
Every pilot's goal is to rise up in the ranks and go beyond their purpose to a place of command on a very big ship. Like the colossus; to baseball bat everyone.

Re: You know you've played too much Freespace when...
... you try to beat the game on insane mode

... you can take on 9 maras and survive

... you visit this site at school because you can't play FS2

... you downloaded anything to do with FS2

... you're a guest to this forum for a month, then finally join

... you run battleplans mentally to single-handedly destroy any ship

... you make a mission and destroy a Sathanas... without any help

... you make a mission... period

... you give friends a copy of the game and send them to HLP to get the newest SCP

... you pretend to play FS2 while driving

Except for the last one, these all apply to me  :eek2:

I did all of that except for the beat the game on insane mode, make my own mission, don't drive, or destroy a sathana without help.

Several years ago, I had a dream once that THQ actually bank-rolled :V: to do FS3, and that it was released in stores.  I thought it was real and went to the game store to go look for it...

Either:

When your car is making a strange noise and you assume that it will autorepair itself given enough time.

or

When your car is broke down and you tell onstar "Calling in support"

or

When your car is broken down on the side of the road and you're waiting for the (tow truck!) support ship to fix you up however remembering that it cannot repair hull damage.
Cause what you got is what we need and all we do is dirty deeds!

Re: You know you've played too much Freespace when...
I've actually seen this one:

While on a forum other than HLP (or sometimes, not even FS-related) and see a noob posting for the first time, and you instantly begin quoting the HLP welcome speech and start hunting around for the beam.

Re: You know you've played too much Freespace when...
You must have sounded very silly... if, that is, you actually posted the welcome speech.  :p

Actually, it was back on Volition Watch (or was it VBB...), in the old TBP forums.  Someone did the HLP welcome speech.

New one, driving-related.

While driving though dense fog, you glance around nervously, wondering when the Ravana is gonna jump in and torch that transport in the passing lane to your left (or right if you're on a right-hand-drive country).
