STAR CHAMBER
by FreyaYou
know you've played Fed II too much when...
Every time you open the
hall closet door you hope this time it will be a
teleporter.
You tell your
girlfriend you forgot about V-day because you had 8 hot
futures contracts and had to watch for them to peak.
Your family asks when dinner is and you reply "Just
one more AK delivery!"
You check eBay for monopoles.
You reply to concerns about the environment by saying
"it's not a big deal, on my planet..."
When people talk of colonizing Mars, and you think
"Why bother, just build your own planet?"
You try convincing the autoshop to upgrade your car with
NavComp software.
You call someone that's right next to you in the game and
talk about Fed2.
You build a futures commodities database at work.
You start listening to the financial evening news to help
you pick futures contracts.
You think everyone knows what you're talking about, but
they just think you're crazy.
You use your alarm clock to tell you when you should go
to bed.
You know where Dryad is but you can't find Peru on the
Globe.
You can remember all the dates that major events happened
Fed2 but you can't remember your anniversary.
You realize that the cable TV has been turned off for
over a month.
You start to wonder just what Old Peculiar really tastes
like.
Your wife tell you if she ever meets the developers of
the game she will beat them to a bloody pulp.
You start mailing Feedback asking Bella to code in an
Outlook-like calendar to remind you about birthdays,
anniversaries, and doing the dishes.
When the sun's rising, the alarm clock's blaring and you
press the "AC job #" Fkey. One. Last. Time.
Promise.
You try to make a "you know you play too much"
list...
