...You've actually played all 999 levels of Populous

...You've spent more money on your game station and library then you have on your car

...You've learned how to play your favorite game music on an instrument

...You've literally gotten to the point where you can play a game level with your eyes closed

anyone got any more?

Oh sure, you can play the main theme, but what about the others? That takes true devotion to crazy ass concept gaming.

When you realize that most of Sony's star games are giant piles of crap. Metal gear, Final Fantasy, all those terrible naughty dog games, the generic crap that isn't even worth mentioning (which is bad, since "generic crap" makes up about 99% of sony's star titles), all of them suck. It may also occur when you realize that generally, japanese developers are incapable of introducing a decent narrative these days, especially one that isn't presented with all the skill of a high school film student, and are ALMOST incapable of new ideas, though there are some exceptions.

God no. I won Populous in a cereal competition. I gave up when that bint got trapped and I couldn't use her powers.

I don't have a car... so I guess I do spend more money on games

I have the MGS theme on my phone... does that count?

I could play MGS2 asleep, let alone with my eyes closed.

Because there's no horror whatsoever, just cheap gory shocks, bad acting, racism, the typical american jackass hero, the token "caaaaa-razy!" foreigner character, the token "Oh, I'm so sensitive I won't bang this incredibly hot european girl" stupid writer guy, some NU metal or whatever, and the most overrated piece of **** fanboy director ever, who should just stop making movies and try to finish high school :mad:

- You drink Coffee out of an 8 cup measuring cup so you don't have to get up to re-fill it so you and a buddy can play through Final Fantasy Tactics in one sitting.

- The memory is broken on your Super Metroid Cartidge so you have to play through that in one sitting

- You wish you still had a TurboGraphix 16

- you still prefer your old SNES to an emulator

- Once SNES went the way of the dodo, the guy at the video store practically gives you FF3 cause you rented it all the time.

- You want them to make another Mutant League Game

- You wake up at night thinking you are playing a game.

- You get really excited over a game featurning a bunch of disney characters (Kingdom Hearts)

- You can pass all the SeeD tests without trying

- You got Blisters from playing Skate or Die on NES

- You wet your pants when you got an NES for your 4th Christmas.

- You have put off doing other miportant things cause you can't find a save point.

You've played Halo 2 so much that, well you've played Halo 2 too much.

Feel an urge to hop into a parked car while walking down the street but then see a faster-looking car and start walking towards it instead

desire to roll up everthing you see into a ball

if someone poked your thumb tips with a needle you wouldn't feel it

when you get on the bus your first urge is to push "select" so you can look through your inventory for your bus pass

have stacks of unfinished games because you can't help but buy new ones even though you have yet to finish the other 5 stacks of games you haven't finished yet because you've spent so much time trying to finish another stack of games

continue to pay your monthly fees on Asheron's Call, Everquest, Everquest 2, Dark Age of Camelot, Shadowbane, Anarchy Online, Star Wars Galaxies, FFXI, Lineage, City of Heroes and World of Warcraft even though you only play one of 'em, just because you can't stand the thought of all your level 60's being deleted.
