You know you play MxO too much.....

[Eroz]

Ok, so I was driving down one to the major streets in my city and I saw a old style phone booth. The first thing that came to my mind was MxO, it was weird.

I also find myself typing /t while using Trillian to talk to people. So  I think it is time to start a too much playing list.


1. You see a phone booth and find it necessary to pick up the phone.
2. You use /t to chat over a messager service.

1. Your divide your schedule into two parts - jacked in and not jacked in.
2. You decline going to a real life party because you've already been invited to one in-game.
3. When you put on sunglasses you find yourself walking in slow motion, humming "Furious Angels" while daring anyone to look at you the wrong way.
4. When your roommates ask about your day, you declare that your faction was once again victorious in the Construct!
5. When someone says "hacker", you instantly think "cheap".
6. You stare at your RSI's pathetic attempt to dance for hours, even when there isn't a party going on.

1. You try to mimic your RSI's dance moves because you cannot dance in real life.
2. You're actually a little paranoid of all the green in the real world...
3. You start to feel lonley when not logged into TS.
4. You wish you could code a $100 pair of shoes but there are no codes for size 15

Wow Tbone that's a great list, I have those same problems lols =X

Also I live in Chicago, so it's weird comparing MxO to Chicago and visa versa..especially certain areas in downtown..

* You refuse to travel to places you haven't been before because you haven't "tagged the access node" yet.
* You explain to your English teacher that you're unable to take the test today because you forgot to use the proper ability loadout, so "Write Essay 4.0" is still in your code bank.
* You frequently stare at the walls, floor, celing (or sky) when walking around in crowded areas so that your "FPS will not drop".

lol wow...hacker... cheap...love that one

1.  When you'd rather jump over a building than go around it.
2.  When you can't understand your homework, you write /ccr.
3.  When you see a lawyer in sunglasses, you run away.
4.  When you log into MxO, and you hear the jack being plugged-in, you lean back a little bit (I swear I do this sometimes ), and when you jack out, you feel a tingle in the back of your neck (I don't do this one).

[Anonymous]

1. When you find yourself at the mall looking for the damn item vendor.
2. When you go to the ATM and think, "how much info do I need?"
3. When you are late for work because you couldn't find your fidora.
4. Hell it's even worse if you really have a fidora.
5. When you attach your FA sig to your email at work.
6. When your buddy irl tells a good joke and you say, "lol"
7. When you start sizing people up irl thinking, "I wonder what kinda loot I could get off them?"

Ok, getting tired, maybe more later.

You know you play MxO too much when:

* You sit around outside, looking at the clothing of the people that walk by and think: "Man, I could code something so much better than that, and it would have buffs!"
* You frequently find yourself looking up at the roofs of buildings or other high places, and contemplating whether you could Hyper-Jump up to it.
* You wonder why people keep ignoring your /duel requests
* You discovered who Robert Henley was and your immediate reaction  was: "Shit, he's jacking FA's uniform"  (This one really happened to me)

I actually had to stop myself saying "lol" once. I stopped playing for a whole hour because i was so ashamed

You know you have been playing too much MxO when:

* - you start talking in Matrix terms in rl (e.g.  Let me go jack in and take a look at it.)

* - you look at downtown buildings and wonder if all the doors and levels are functional

* - you look at downtown buildings and wonder where the access nodes are.

* - you look at all the traffic and people in the downtown area and think....damn I wish I had a graphics card that could render this well.

* - you wish you had a hardline at home so you wouldnt have to worry about traffic, you could just jack into the closest hadline to work.

* - you find yourself going through RFZ withdrawl when not near a computer (I actually suggested that they consider talking to XM or Siruis about broadcasting on Satellite).

* - you constantly look at the file cabinets, desks, pictures (is there a safe behind it) and wonder what code bits or loot might be there.

* - your ringtone, background, computer mail tune, etc.. all are MxO related items.

* - you constatly think about the philosophy of MxO and the Matrix and talk about events in rl as though they will have some bearing on rl.

*btw:  the philosophical part of the matrix I would love to talk with others about..   e.g. in M1, they spent the movie looking for Neo....what  else where they doing?  What were other hovercraft crews jacking in to do???  Why was there no snow. on the surface....?  Is Zion the only city (the world is pretty f*cking big to have only one city left)...
(these are the things I think about when not jacked in. thinking about being jacked in, and the inevitable family/work/school stuff)

You know you have been playing MxO too long when:

* you wish that the economy of MxO was the same as Project Entropia (e.g. where you can convert real $$ for virtual and vice versa) and think... damn I could really be set with the $4b in my account

*  if the above would work, you would really be worried about when the wipe of beta would happen and if you could get it out in time..

* - you look at a phone receiver and wonder how the hell I could fit through there.

You know you play MxO too much (or for that matter love your faction so much) that  you leave work early  around 5 FA time ( i was supposed to leave 7 FA time) because Tbone said Filming will start at around 6 FA time

[Tbone]

Damn Arch...where are ya now? It's about 9:30 FA time and I think we're gonna try to film.
