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
Got Ether?

 
You know you play FS too much when...
  • 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

I was thinking about that... but i couldnt think of a good button on a phone to hit instead of burners.

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!)

Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a wide target selection !

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'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.

: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
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

When asked to name an ancient emperor in History, you shout out, "Khonsu the Second"
