HUMOR: You know you play CoH/V too much when,....

The game's waypoints, contacts, mish points, etc. wind up on your gps. & @Gibson, what the heck is a "freem"?

Best guess is that it refers to 2008 April Fools' Day (LINK):




Other possibilities indicate taking the "do" out of "freedom", but I'm not as sure about that because the Freedom server's second spelling is already Freedumb.

... when you get a new toy and the first thing you do when you get it home is make an alt based on it.

You know you play CoH too much when...

Your wife leaves you.

Your cell phone battery goes dead.

You frequent hot spots with a 7 year old lap top just to get a fix.

You end up sleeping under a bridge uncomfortably, thinking about playing more CoH.

A cop car shows up and they bring you to lock-up for a 'family intervention' about your severe gaming addiction and you scream scream scream until the give up and you go play CoH.

It's never happened to me, but I think these would be some very serious signs that you play CoH too much.

You find yourself creating punny names and then arguing with your spouse (who also plays COH) about the best AT and powersets.

Alternately, you have an idea for an AT/powersets, and your dinner conversation with your spouse is about the best name and backstory.

You are more likely to use your vacation time for double xp weekend than you are for a weekend away with your spouse or significant other.

When budgeting, it's not about "I can afford another credit card payment" or "this saves me an extra five gallons of gas a week", it's "woot, I can afford the next booster pack!"

When your house consists of a large blue cylinder-like portal.

...you've been farming for several hours straight and check your salvage to see how many tickets you have. 8008. You then laugh yourself into tears, unable to stop laughing due to a combination of sleep deprivation and sophomoric geek humor.

...when you dream in first-person about a story arc recently played...

...and decide upon waking to play it again via Ouroboros because the dream was that cool.

....when your bratty child won't come to you when you call him, and you start to use Foe Teleport...

.... When you're forced to stop playing CoX but you find yourself trolling the CoX forums everyday until you can get back on line.

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

Something is giving you trouble at work and you think "I need to respec."

You go to jump up stairs several at a time and fall flat on your fact because, well, you don't have combat jumping.

You see someone do something cool and wonder what emote it is.

Whenever someone you're with goes still for a few moments, you wonder if he's dc'ing.

You get embarrassed because what you just said to your buddy? It's not team chat and everyone around you heard.

You see a group of people clustered together and you have a strong urge to cast buildup, rain of fire, fireball.

A friend's purse gets snatched, and you wonder how it's possible.

When I'm stuck in traffic, I wish I had superspeed or fly.

...or at least were on a Chaos mission, to smash those puny cars.

That happened only once...OK, twice. And they´re both deleted by now...damn altoholism.

...you spend your time off crating CoH-based sigs and wallpapers, instead of that Spore-Adventure you planned to do for months.

When you try to give your friend a pen or something, he/she does not pay attention right away, & you yell at them, "What are you, afk or something? Hit the damned 'accept' button, will ya'?"

Real life:

My cat stayed with a friend for a few days while I was moving. She came up to him looking for attention while he loaded the game. At the sound of the login window, she laid down, put her head on her paws and sighed.

When the cat relates the login to the game to "No pettins for now", you play too much.

When you are in a crowded area and you feel "lag".

When you wish you had slotted for Mez resistance so you could get out of bed in time for college in the morning.
