I left my ATM card in the machine a few months ago and it sucked it up and shredded it. I was calling to cancel and get a new one and the operator asked me if I understood all of the terms and conditions and I said, "Roger." She was like, "Excuse me?" That's when I hit rock bottom and now consider myself addicted to 2142. But I can admit it so no harm done!

you try and play a new game and the first thing you do is change all your key bindings so that it plays as close to 2142 as possible.

you drive over a 150 miles one way to get to your computer just so you can get in a few hours of 2142 trigger time on the weekends.

you form a clan around 2142, even when you get less than 10 hours of triggertime a week, just so you can play the game vicariously through your troops.

you become known as the undisputed god of the battlewalker on the best gaming server cluster in existence.

the person who introduced you to the game of 2142 looks at you in horror and declares, "I've created a monster."

you run across a, "you know you've played too much 2142 when" thread and realize, "My god, this thread was created about me."

When you take time off from a paying job to photoshop BF2142 related war posters for a bunch of fellow game geeks just to get praise and adoration....heh heh.


(PS. Check out the 2142 Gallery, they are all on there. -- end of shameless plug. )
