You know you are addicted to Arm when ...

[RogueGunslinger]

Unless the thing you're addicted to is socially acceptable and morally right then it's okay to be addicted to it.

[Shepard]

Touche, I didn't think of that - continue then... here maybe I got one...

You know you are addicted to Arm when... you play a lot.

[BleakOne]

The worst part of being ill is not feeling up to playing Arm. 

[greasygemo]

When you mentally wish up that the customers who annoy you at your call centre financial institution job are beaten severely by the banks body guards...

[solera]

The worst part of being ill is not feeling up to playing Arm. 

That's when I know I genuinely am sick.

[Bast]

You really want to play but no one around you is on so you sit here and stare blankly at the screening logging in a few mins waying a few people to see if they are on yet...and hitting refresh on GDB every few mins to see if anyone said anything interesting. (em goes off to see is anyone is on yet.)

[evilcabbage]

When you may and/or may not be on but wonder if this person will way you just to see if you are on, or randomly way an sdesc and get you.

And you know you are addicted to Arm when you come back after nine months to play with ravenous fury. FEAR ME! I RETURN!

[evilcabbage]

You just got back from a long hiatus and I've been binging ever since, it's been four days, I've slept three hours.

Actually, maybe it's been MORE than four days, they all start to blur together after awhile. I now dread when PCs ask my toon when IC events happened because I can't rightly recall if they were yesterday.. or the day before that...or even less recent.

When you hear so many names in game in one spur and you meet a guy and he goes "Hey, yourname!" And I go "... Hi, uhm... let me think... okay, I give up, who are you?"

I love Arm.

[Maker]

When you go freak out on your wife for rinsing your son's cup out with water and just dumping it out the window on a long road trip...

[hyzhenhok]

When you think about doing something iffy in the game, log out and take a nap, and immediately dream about a staff member posting on the GDB about how obviously stupid you'd have to be to try doing that iffy thing in game.

[ShaLeah]

You categorize RL drugs by the spice IG with the same effects.

...your spiritual beliefs are based on the workings of ginka.

I'm currently convinced that my player is multi-playing or hasn't had enough time to log in because little is going in my life lately, and I've spent a lot of time sleeping.


I'm serious, though. I truly believe that I have a player, reincarnation works like creating a new character, the age of accountability is determined by when the background ends and when the character starts being played, etc. I've spent a lot of time determining whether or not this is logical, and despite a few discrepancies between the microsm and macrosm, I believe it is.

Maybe I started playing too young, or there's something wrong with me. I'm certainly not telling my therapist about this.

That is an interesting take on reincarnation. Which by the way is a major Hinduism and Buddhism both of these religions are in the top five practiced on our planet and have hundreds of millions if not billions of worshipers (Hinduism is often the largest practice religion in the world just due to massive over population in India)

Anyway just because you use games as analogy for your personal beliefs does not make anything wrong them. I certainly believe in Karma and the Saṃsāra to some extent.

[kayza]

Whatev..

I just finished overhearing some drama filled conversation two people were having and made me glad my thoughts are mostly on video games.

[Kevo]

...you can't find any PC's on, and desperately wish someone would invent Arm the game IG.

[Nile]

When you fall asleep while still logged in every night only to wake up with your character famished the next day.

[Iiyola]

Brrr it's cold. Oh wait, I got that red scarf which I can wear-- wait... I got that on Arm. -_-

[Desertman]

Your significant other looks at you and asks fairly regularly....

"What are you nodding at?"
"What are you shaking your head at?"
"What are you furrowing your brow at?"

And you have to admit every time, "I was just miming my character's emotes, and I didn't realize I was doing it."

She catches me constantly.

I even say my says sometimes.

[evilcabbage]

I bit the inside of my cheek. Hard. Acting out eating food on arm.

Oh my gawd. I totally do this. I haven't had to deal with the OH catching me yet though - since he still doesn't know about Arm. Dirty little secret.

[Maso]

....it's down and you are like....fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffml.

[hyzhenhok]

When you have a dream about your character getting killed (getting run over by a police car in the rinth???) and then freak out for 20 minutes in the dream before waking up.

[Akaramu]

Hah, I've totally experienced this. Though it wasn't death by police car, just many other crazy ways. The good part: Realizing it was just a dream is such a relief.

[Iiyola]

Strangest dream ever.

I can't remember much from the beginning but my house went up in the air (a la Up the movie) and I tried to keep up with it. After days and days in the air it landed into the city of Suk Krath where I discovered I'm a Krathi.

*shakes her head*
