You know you are addicted to SH4 when...

[simonb1612]

To start of this thread here is my first experience that has led me to believe that I am an SH4 Addict....

I am sat in my office / study, pretending to read for an approaching law school exam, (when really I am reading the latest threads here to get as many useful tips from other skippers that I can). Anyway it is hot here and i have the window open to allow what little breeze there is into the room to cool me down. My upstairs neighbor recently purchased a wind chime and it sounded so much like the pinging of the Japanese navy that I was wondering where the hell they came from and how I had missed spotting them before I remembered that I wasn't even playing the game!
What a fool :oops:

When your driving in your car and see a plane up in the sky and suddenly shout 'Dive,Dive'!!! Or 'Man the Flak guns!!!':D

When you're looking at the sun and thinking 'Hey, the sun glare works!' :damn:

[Tobus]

Not with SH4, but I tend to be very suspicious of movement behind windows after a lanparty with loads of Red Orchestra.

[the_belgian]

Standing by my machine at work the normal procedure i look after;
Roll in

When you use almost all the stocks of print paper at your work in order to print extracts of threads, guides and trainings.

When, instead of doing your usual job properly (in my case programmer), you try to invent new methods to find the AOB of your targets easily.

I certainly hope that you have the order in which those things occur listed incorrectly.
If it's a case of 'she looks' and then 'I scream' I suggest that you change your avatar to "Dead man walking". :dead:

When you go home late at night and you don't want to wake up your wife, you speak softly "rig for silent running"...

[hocking]

When your wife dreads going on vacation with you to the ocean, and she knows you are taking a pair of binoculars with you.

"Don't mind me honey, just scanning my sector."

When you see a Japanese flag and yell for General Quarters.

[Sailor Steve]

Haven't played SH4, but I knew I was addicted to SH3 the day I saw a tractor-trailor on the highway and found myself calculating his speed and angle-on-the-bow.

[wetwarev7]

One of the IT techs around here has a sonar ping for a ring tone. Every time I hear it, I get all tense and want to call out for sonar contact reports.

Also, whenever I'm playing a different game, I'm allways thinking about SH4. :roll:

You know you're really addicted when:

Your boss is telling you for the umpteenth time how he managed to save a bunch of money on having a new swimming pool installed at his house, and all you can think of is how you wish you could submerge and sneak away....and maybe fire a parting shot. :p

[cunnutazzo]

when you have to patrol the same area every time, but every time you'll meet a different enemy's behavior.

[stuntcow]

When the roar of a diesal puts you to sleep.

When you try to find a periscope to mount in your house to watch the neighborhood.

You plan your route to the store to avoid detection as much as possible.

Actually when I'm fishing, usually early in the morning as it's starting to get light, there's dense fog all around, and I'm still half-asleep, I'm thinking "Did I just see a scope over there?" :o "Please be a turtle, please be a turtle....."

When you play SHIV and you've been sea sick 3 times

Damn! This has happened to me only once. Was pretty lousy weather and S-class boat. Had quit the game then :p

LOL I know what you mean, I was bored waiting for something to load on my computer the other day and I was like "damn, wish there was TC in RL!"

[seaniam81]

Your sitting playing at well past midnight and you turn off all the lights in your computer room so you can make a night surface attack with out being seen. Or you turn off all the light and wisper rig for red

[seaniam81]

I did this lastnight. My torpedo slamed into the side of tanker and i yelled for joy. everybody in the room looked at me funny and told me to be quiet. So i answered aye, aye sir, rig for silent running. When my next torpedo slamed into the side of a ship I yelled much quieter. still got funny looks:lol:

[Bear]

You are out on patrol and you can't bring yourself to end/save your patrol, so you read the new Harry Potter book out loud to the crew.

[Nafod81]

Oddly enough I was quite drunk and headed back to Pearl last night. I stepped outside for a smoke.

I glanced over my shoulder and saw "starshells" er maybe it was the just the streetlight through my neighbors tree.

Everytime i change watch i have to walk the dog or it wont quite down.

[razark]

Driving home from work at night, blinking lights have me looking around for the other destroyers and thinking "Take her deep, fast!"

[-Pv-]

I issue the dive command then close all the doors and windows in the house.

When the DCs start exploding I reach out and grab the monitor to keep it from falling over.

When I wake up in the morning I call it rising to pariscope depth.

Sometimes at work my code is just too damaged to repair and I sink.

I like the "All Stop" joke the best so far.
-Pv-

[ktrboston]

I have been at it most of today. Woke up late and wanted to see what targets I can sink. I ran into a small convoy consisting of 3 Shiratsuya Destroyers, 1 large passenger ship and a medium passenger ship. All ships sunk. Now I am in the bismark sea waiting for a large convoy but I am not sure how to take them down.

[cdrsubron7]

You know you've been playing SHIV too long when the sun goes down and you turn all the lights off in the room and exchange the lightbulb on the lamp on your desk for a red bulb so your eyes become accustomed to the dark.

Worry when she stops shaving her legs 'cause she wants to be "in the mood"... then you should probably start worrying.

[Seadogs]

I was walking along the seawall near my house with my wife and this seabird with a long neck poped out of the water and looked around. For a second it looked like a periscope, not a full sized one, but like a kid was playing around with something.

The wife however immediately picked up on the look on my face and said "you play that game too damn much!"

[-Pv-]

Seadogs,

You story tells me how well your wife knows you. Priceless.

and play the game more than you talk to people living with you!

And wake up from a dream figuring out a new way to attack a convoy that is making you nuts and go start the PC up again to give the new Dream idea a try!

And your Dog's have to lift your arm off of the mouse with their noses to remind you they need to go out.
