It's all falling into place, muahahaha

My own additions (I'll start @ 130 because thats about where we're up to I guess)

130. You're admitted to an emergency department with pressure sores... one set on your butt for not moving from your chair, and the other in the shape of a mouse.

131. On the way in the ambulance you insist they take you to Manhatten for your treatment, and ask why their stretcher doesn't hover.

132. You list Jun'ko Zane as your next of kin.

133. You tell the doctor you can do him a good price on some pharmaceuticals on your next cargo run.

134. You're admitted to the psych ward and insist that it's all a Nomad plot to get you out of the way.

135. ...and when you finally get home you decide to mix yourself a Sidewinder Fang

Okay mine suck

151. You get Freelancer on Saturday (March 1st). You install it that night. You calculate the hours in a week (168), subtract from it the time you spend at classes (120.5), subtract time for sleeping (65.5), subtract time for doing chores, eating, etc. (49.5). Subtract from it the time wasted on Saturday because you didn't install it until late at night (At about 5:00PM, so 17 hours), Subtract from 32.5 the time your Freelancer game clock says... and end up with a negative number

- The person next to you in the car says "Why are we going so slow, we gotta go faster

- You beat the game and it's going to be released in April

- The "F" key shows signs of heavy usage

- You're on your 3rd keyboard

- You curse upon the makers of the game for not giving you enough time to make money after Mission 8

You've melded with your computer chair and nobody wants to even look at you.

When you finally take a crapper, you're on the can for five days.

You think crop circles are love letters from Juni.

"You have 2,765 new messages. First message: I'm leaving you for a man who actually moves from his computer chair!'

When Publishers Clearing House arrives at your door with a $20 million dollar prize, you slam the door in their faces 'cause it's not your recently shipped copy of Freelancer.

One last one

161. You have either "hcetigoL" or "tfosorciM" embedded in your right hand.

Post Sun Mar 09, 2003 3:04 am

When you refer to streets as trade lanes

highways as jump holes

stores as Stations

Malls as planets

city/towns as Systems

you start replacing street sign with names like (K-Mart Station -> Jimm's Base)

onramps(Hareware depot -> Oregon jump hole)

But you really know you've played to much when you see a Red X on something and you try to find where or how to cargo or weapons off.

My luck is either good or bad so I'm First to kill or first to dead

162. You are getting bored of it...

Post Sun Mar 09, 2003 7:37 am

Sad ending...

My turn:

- You growl at friends who say "FL sux".

- You kill you friends who say "FL sux"

- On the keyboard, your right hand's default position is on the buttons TAB, shift, W,D spacebar instead of ASDF.

- You have 200+ MB of Freelancer screenshots on your computer and your reaction is lighting fast when it comes to press the "Print Screen" Button.

- You are sitting at 1:35 am and posting polls and replies in the FL selection of TLR...

- you are dissapointed that not so many cars have "cruise control" on it.

- when you do find one with that, you are dissapointed even more because you miss the "charging up" sound.

- you expect german cars to actually have green exhaust fumes.

- you shoot on police cars to get in betetr rep. with the outcasts...

- you just don't understand why japanese cars don't have "wingeling-thingies" on them.

- you don't trust that "nomad" sleeping bag.

- Greenpeace is after you because you actually mounted two hornvipers on your car.

Ambulance with sounding alarm pass by your place and you think "dammit, one of those noobs must´ve been shot down again".

This actually happened to me a few minutes ago

Post Sun Mar 09, 2003 5:26 pm

-You strap squirt guns to your car and try to blow up semi trucks
-When it doesn't work, you buy nerf guns instead because "squirt guns are weak against Semi Truck Shields"
-You think that the reason the military won't let you drive into the're secret base is because you rep isn't good enough
-to fix this, you drive to Colorado to look for Xenos
-You go to a place that you decide is Omicron Gamma, find a "Jump Hole", buy a rocket launcher and fire it at the sun. When it doesn't blow up, you hunt down the guy who started this rumor and shoot him with your rocket launcher too.
-You have over a million kills
-You ask for H-Fuel at the gas station
-You ask someone what the best trade route is
-You ask someone which direction it is to Sector F3
-Instead of saying "Hey, there's the sun!" you say "Hey, there's the Medium White!"
-You forget to feed your dog, and it gets so hungry that it bites your leg off
-You don't notice

Just a few:

- In response to someone else's 86. The guy at Radio Shack says, "no we don't have any shield batteries, but check out this great Tandy computer", you immediately snap it up because it's older and might have a chance in hell to play the original Privateer.

- Every time your friend comes over, you glance to your significant other, then back to your friend and say "I don't really run this place, but I have an understanding with those who do."

- You realize Liberty Ales and Sidewinder Fangs both exist and become intent on trying them in real life.
*OR*
- You realize Liberty Ales and Sidewinder Fangs both exist in real life, which begins a downward spiral as you lose your grip on reality and eventually are institutionalized for no longer being able to tell what's real from what isn't.

Post Mon Mar 10, 2003 2:33 am

Demo Only:

Full version

- You've found every system, base, wreck, patrol route, mineable area, etc.

- You can never look at a purple jewel the same way again.
