Aaaaw, this was one of my favourite threads. Can anyone make it a sticky this time, just in case another wipe happens?

Let me see if I can remember some of my mine...

You know you´ve been playing too much freelancer....

-when, after a particularly rough night, you wake up, look in the mirror and say "aaw, geez...my avatar is all messed up again".

-when you point to your new T-shirt, and say to other people: "What do you think of my new sig, please everyone make a comment. Should I use this one from now on or use the old one, I´ve been wearing so far?"

-when you turn off the engine of your car in the middle of a turn, for better manouvarability (that would be ugly....)

-when, whille standing in a crowded room, you sit in a corner and hope someone sends you a message, asking to join their group...

-when, in the same room, you accidently swear, and then hope noone comes on and kick or ban you...

-when you stand in a street corner, beating up everyone that goes by and think to youself "man, I hope this guy drops lot´s of loot"

-when you beat up Burger king employees, so you can buy better stuff at MacDonald´s

-when you start evalutating your everyday chores, by assigning them a numerical score. like this:
Diffculty: 38
Reward: Keep the good time rolling
"It has come to our attention that there have been increasing troubles from the kitchen area. Due to increasing activity in the living room from you and your group, the stock of beers is almost depleted. You are to go to sector 4D Gas Station and buy 3 or 4 six-packs. You are pretty wasted already so you must avoid the filth. Your friends are even worse so we can´t spare anyone else, so watch out, you´re on your own out there."

When you go to visit a friend in a flat, press the intercom button, they say come on up and you proceed to walk around the building 4 or 5 times before entering!

I would like to say it is not so fun to me.

As example when I move in the morning road traffic after playing all night long. -"Oh darling, it appears to me for the moment that there was the nomads (XEFs, Strail, Ashta, Saint, etc....)!!!"

So ive been playing freelancer too much when my wife is coming to me with any heavy thing in hand to punch me, because it is 3:00am or later.


Best regards

You know you´ve been playing too much freelancer....

-when you talk with your grandma about ANIHILATOR TYPE C’s refire rate.

-when you begin to think that your parents are some kind of nomads.

-when you watch a boxing match and think about pvp.

-when you sign your test paper “Freelancer Alpha 1-1”.

-when you ask permition to enter your own house.

-when you say “gf” after you smack one of your coleagues.

-when you search your Cruise Distrupor button in a 100m dash run.

-when you jump of a cliff, just to arive home, faster.

-when you apologise to your boss by saying “Lag!”.

You know youve been playing Freelancer too much when the standard goodnight kiss from your loved one is replaced by "Are you going to play that bl**dy game all night?"

Oh wow...good thread V!

Here's a few of mine..lemme think..

-You look at a nice sunset and wonder how much radiation damage you will get if you get close to it-

-You see a good deal on somthing you wish to buy, and start thinking, 'How friendly am i with this person'-

-You see someone going way too fast and start pushing buttons on your car stereo hoping to CD them to slow them down-

...here's a few for the Admin's... :D

-You walk into work and you immediately announce to everyone that can hear you, "Hello Everyone! Does anyone need help with anything?"-

-You again see someone going way too fast and immediately start punching buttons on your car stereo hoping to ban them!-

-You hear someone using profane language and immediately look at them as if to say, "Watch your language...kids play here..."-

I'm sure i'll add more to this "CLASSIC" thread!!

You know when you have been playing Freelancer too much when you're afraid to come out of your house in case theres dock campers.

or when you try trading steak for parts for your car.

Here is the truth of my life again...

You know you have been playing too much freelancer when you hear the voice that telling you "Dock" when you approached your flat or lift doors, or anything that looks like a long grey corridor.
And also you may hear something like "Roger that. Your request to land (dock) is granted please proceed to land (dock 1 (etc))" when you enter it.
