You know you've played X too much when you actually read a thread like this.


And then post in it. :lol: 8)

Mine's one 150 hours... steam's my XTM install. Er... so counting the actual time playing the actual game, a few thousand probably.

When you need to use the bathroom and try to find the 'pause' button on your library book.

These are both true:

1. Download is taking too long, so you start pressing the J key to speed it up.

2. You figure since your friend plays video games (but not X), he'll be immensely interested to hear about the 49 million credit complex you're pondering building.

I actually did that last night. After barraging him with 4 or 5 long IMs about it, the response was, "That sounds like the most boring game ever." Dumb outsiders, what do they know?

When Steam says you've played over 700 hours of TC alone.

When you call work sick and explane you have a bad case of Argon flu.

When the little Argon girl names Suzi's Parents turn up.

You order calimari at a restaurant. When your plate arrives you have a moment of silence for poor Fumi Wi :boron: before digging in.

Both true:

1. Many of my files and folders are going missing (backups too) and instant messages I send look like my keyboard needs replacing. Quite simple: I'm trying to close windows with the delete key instead of escape. When the delete confirmation window pops up I try to close it with delete too. According to Steam and purchase receipts, I've got 1,637.1 hours up on TC since purchasing Superbox four months ago. And the first month was purely on BTF.
2. When I type in *any* application, I always pause for one second between typing two identical characters.

When you write on a customs slip saying "Chocolate bar x 10", and you find yourself thinking of the number of EBCs the Venti can mount up front :lol:

Hi,

I remember once being amazed at how the bug crawling across my monitor was resisting a stream of laser fire and appearing totally unphased by these glowing balls of death...

...I saved, shut down and went to bed soon after...dreamt of PPC resistant flying bugs...

Cheers,

Scoob.

1: When are looking for the "J" button to speed up the boring moments in your life, which is pretty much any point in time when you aren't playing X3TC

2: When you dreams crash in the same way that X3TC crashes.

You drive on busy freeway and there are other cars nearby that are of same model and make.

Your first instinctive thought: 'Go egg brothers!'

You know you play too much x3 when....

You're in a movie forum, and you see x2 > x3 > wolverine origins > x-men and you say to yourself "Maybe i should go back and play x2"
