Hehe.. actually, if I hit the sack right after a 4-5 hour UT session, I close my eyes, but in my mind I'm still x-loc'ing, running, jumping, dodging, rocket-launching my way around my favourite UT maps for at least 20 minutes.

I even remember one night waking up real suddenly as I dreamt someone had just landed a perfect 6-pack'o'rockets on me..

this can't be healthy...

You look over the courtyard at work, and hope nobody is camping on the roof

you feel the urge to jump around for no apparent reason in an open field...

You start relating to your friends with... "One time I was playing UT..."

Your thinking of an excuse to take work off, and the only things you can come up with is... "I just got torn into by about 90 mini rounds," or "I just fell off the top of a building, by an impact whore."

You keep trying to "alt-fire" in Q3A...

...trying to combo on an Excel spreadsheet
...leaping and dodging in work - specially around corners
...saying 'boom!, ooooh yeeeah & u like that' in normal conversations
...forcing work colleagues to look at yer stats

arghhh guilty yer 'onour, lock me up!

You see a group of neds on the street and start thinking shock combo or sixpack?....or you think that you can actually make that 30 foot drop off the building....


etc.

...when you start all your sentences in ICQ or AIM by typing t

...you anwer yes/no questions with 'Roger that'.
...you start listening to UT music.
...you go out and buy Unreal and Na Pali.
...you get GOTY, even though you own the original.
...you lover reports that you were jerking around whilst sleeping. Guiltily, you rember dreaming of being shock comboed.
...you get scared when standing still (HEADSHOT!)
...you run everywhere.
...you scream "Monster Kill!" or something similar after scoring in a sport.
...you try playing with your head pressed up at the screen to make it 'more realistic'
...you try using your toes to play.
...you sweat whilst playing.
...you break your back whilst trying to dodge forwards.
...when you step with the same foot twice, you leap to the side.
...you reckon you would be a real good shooter now.
...you call yourself <your username here>
...you fantasize about competing in Liandri's Unreal Tournament.
...you start using UnrealEd to make better levels.
...you think anyone who does not move in a sport, is therefore a 'camper'.
...you cringe when you hear the word llama, in reference to the animal.
...your friends have noticed all of this.

When you start the same thread for the 20th time in a row.

lol @ Insecta

...when you try to "dodge" with your car into the next lane on your way home form work.

...when the UT HUD surrounds your real life field of vision.

...

... you reach some milestone at work and find yourself saying "Boom!" or "Next!".
... some guy cuts you off on the highway and you mutter "you better be happy I left my shock rifle in my other pants...".
.... you hear a sound behind you and must resist the urge to spin and 'gib them on the spot.
... you get up in the morning and debate which skin to select when you remember that they're just jeans.

My personal favorite (and this really happened to me): you *say* "Ha ha ha" instead of actual laughing. ; )

when you invite your girlfriend over to your mate's for a LAN tournament

when you spell monster with three 'M's

when you instantly spin round, shouting BANG!! and firing an emaginary enforcer at someone who calls your name

when you tell the doctor that "it's not serious - you only lost 10 health"

when you think that you'd win the tournament if it were real

when you wish that the tournament were real

when you can speek fluent 'Nali'

when you try to fire rockets out of the stapler

when your blood pressure doubles when u play unreal

when you can answer the phone in under 1 second - even when in another room

when you don't see your feet if you look straight down

when you talk about unreal when there's no-one there

when you don't stay in a pay phone too long for fear of getting 'tellyfragged'

when you duck if some-one looks directly at you

when if you close your eyes you see a 'crosshair'

when you complain of lag if you lose at sport

when you have a life-sized cardboard model from UT in your house

when you spend this much time/effort thinking of endings to the sentence 'You've been playing unreal to long when.....'
