You know you are addicted to Arm when ...

[ShaLeah]

When you can't remember what you were supposed to get at the store but you'll never forget how your first pc died, or the first thing you saw (which was actually a description you read) that made you think "omg that's beautiful"

I sang Amos Kanked a Gemmer while I was loading a trailor last night. That was fun.

This somehow got into the non RAT thread.  *boggle*

[perfecto]

When you look over your wardrobe and wish you had what your character was wearing.

[Saellyn]

When you do custom voice-over for all your characters using a variety of accents.

[My 2 sids]

When your thoughts literally:

think,  I need to pick up milk on the way home

[boog]

When you lament having so much time before the birth of your baby to play Arm and realize for now all the time you have is just enough to post a few times a day on the GDB!

Lame. I wanna get back in game, dammit.

(I'm kidding. I mean. I don't resent my baby or anything. I'd just like to play a little bit again. :<)

[Incognito]

When you're playing Scrabble and you see a very limited list of letters by the standards of the Dictionary, but you still manage to think up a couple of words from the Zalanthan world - especially truer with the lower number of vowels in your tile-stand! Seriously - try this out - you'll see immediately what I'm talkin about.

Hey, won't be long.  Once they are off to school.  Left home.

I've had this exact conversation when showing someone arm:


"How can you tell what's going on?  I couldn't possible read that quickly." (referring to various scrolling room description/say/emote spam)

"It gets easy after while.  All I see now is brunette, blonde, redhead."

[Wolfsong]

You know you're addicted to ARM when you end up in the ER all Wednesday and spot a cabinet that says LINEN CLOTH while you're there... and your first thought is: "Finally, I can improve bandagemaking."

[John]

When you can't remember what you were supposed to get at the store but you'll never forget how your first pc died, or the first thing you saw (which was actually a description you read) that made you think "omg that's beautiful"

When you can't remember most of the people you've worked with over the years, but you remember the veteran Armers whose handles you haven't seen in years.

[roughneck]

When you see the femur of some large mammal and think, "hey, a crude bone club" and then think of all the heinous acts your past pc's have committed with that very tool.

[Iiyola]

I had my first side effect when i was carrying a backpack. Thinking in commands: open pack, put something pack.

Argh.

Aww *flattered*

[DustMight]

...you know you are addicted when you could write an entire rant on why people shouldn't refer to their characters as "toons."

[X-D]

When you log in at 4am and see there is 4 other people on and actually look for them.

ROFL (I can relate)

When you have a dream that your character died and you wake up in a cold sweat.

[EldritchOrigins]

When you try to get your spouse to play so they'll let you play more.

[valeria]

When you try to get your spouse to play so they'll let you play more.

On the other end, when you tell your fiance he isn't playing enough.  Mostly because he pesters you while you're trying to play.   

[Barsook]

When you can't connect to Arm, and you REALLY want to play.

When you lag your butt off and and you REALLY want to play.

[Mazy]

The email.

Everyone knows the feeling. Every time you see (or hear) that you have a new email you get this swelling excitement in your gut. Anxious, you bite your bottom of your lip as the webpage loads, then sigh in disappointment when it isn't from your beloved ginka.

[ShaLeah]

You log off and realize you're not only starving but you've been on 6 hours and you now have one hour to get dinner started before the husband comes home and your ass is cluessless as to what to make.

Haysoos!
