[Sailor Steve]

Old subject, new player, so it's always welcome to see it again.

When I calculate AOB for trucks and buses on the freeway.

[Kpt. Lehmann]

... When I arrive on a scene, put the ambulance in park, and shout "ALLE MASCHINEN SCHTOPP!!!" :D

Welcome to Subsim ryanglavin! :arrgh!:

[Task Force]

When you start getting pissed at the destroyers... and cuss them out in your mind...

[ryanglavin]

good to see these old forums still alive, always that glowing hope that people still play the good games that i play :salute:

[meduza]

when you ask your friends for a weather report.
when you hate the rain because of poor visibility.
when you wonder why there's no depth gauge in your car.
when you panic when you spot an airplane.
when you identify each ship you see.
when you start using "port" and "starboard" instead of "left" and "right".

Hey Ambulance jockey....where you ride out of?
I used to ride Cy Creek EMS in North Houston before I went for my RN:shucks:

[kuchciol]

Don't forget to yell "Alaaaaarm" whenever a phone rings near. I honestly sometimes get that jumpy when playing alot. I try to refrain from yelling though, usually I just jump in my chair and grab for the mouse/keyboard when the phone rings or a text arrives.

You reply to your crew's comments...in German.

When any noise that sounds like the dread "ping' makes you cringe, and you have memorized all the commands, in german!

[jmr]

When I look in the rear view window and imagine the defroster lines as my stadimeter.

[papa_smurf]

You make a topic called "You know your a Silent Hunter 3 addict when..."

Or, when you see a passenger plane going over head you a initiate crash dive.

Shouldn't be too problematic for you then :rotfl:

[Bosje]

when I fixed the lamp on my ceiling which required standing on a rickety chair, I thought 'ooh better save first... ah no, D.I.D.'

One week of lovely summer weather at the cabin by the lake. Bathing every day and the occasional fishing trip.
Wife: Isn't this lovely, dear...? We do stay another week - don't we...?

L: Well, darling - I'd love to but I do have some business to attend to. You know, not having a computer here is quite unpractical. As I have pointed out before.......but, you stay on and I shall take a quick trip home. Back tomorrow. After all, it is only 8 hours drive each way.......

[TigerShark808]

:har:Leandros!


How about this..

Me: "What do we have planned today" (saturday)?

Wife: "I was thinking we could head over to your brothers house and go swimming, Jennifer (his wife) keeps inviting us over but you never want to go "

Me: "Well they never have beer"

Wife: "Well you know they dont drink"

Me: " And they know I do so how rude is that ? "

Wife: " Well they said you can bring your own beer if you want!"

Me: " Well if your going to invite someone over for beer then you might want to supply the beer"

Wife: "They are not asking you over for beer, there asking you to come over to swim"

Me: " I dont swim and drink..its dangerous"

Wife: "what?"

Me "aahhh...!"

Wife: "What ever..Im going anyways..you can stay if you want"

Me: " Ok..Ill see yaaa later"

Me <---thinking to himself 5 mins later " Why does it always take so long for GWX to load?....uuummmm good beer !.....I need more RAM!"

I'm not sure I'm a full blown SHIII nut, but I certainly am a photography nut, I find myself randomly calculating F stop and shutter speed combos working to the sunny 16 rule/experience as I'm walking down the street.

He-he....a proposition: Why not show your brother SHIII and have him install it on his computer. The girls can swim in the pool and you grown-ups can.........

[Betonov]

When I change my faculty after 3 years of hard study in metalurgy, only to start studying for a nautical engineer jusr because I liked being a captain in SHIII and wanted to do that in real life... and forget that 3 years of hard study, in all that time I havent made one year

[KeybdFlyer]

.... when you walk around a store in zig-zags so no-one can sneak into your blind spot.

[Hanomag]

You take out the trash and the garbage men are all lookig at you funny.

The above is a true story.

[Melonfish]

:o I want that hat!

a sign you've played to much sh3 is when your downloading realistic flags in work and one of the sales guys asks "Whats that"
i go on to explain its the german naval flag, the game in europe misses out the swastika which although i'm not a fan of the propaganda and ideals i detest the lack of historical accuracy.
then i look up and find him wearing a yamulke and decide to download stuff from home instead... (he saw the funny side when i explained about the game)

trying to explain to my granfather whats happening on the screen as two of my Eels strike home on a c2 then pause when he asked what country i'm playing as i realised he did in fact have two ships shot out from under him whilst serving in the merchant navy (pacific area)

[Jimbuna]

:o I want that hat!



You can't have it...he gave it to me :O:

..when every time you walk along the beach and see ships on the horizon go by, you try to estimate how far the ship is away and what torpedosettings you should use. :cool:

[Ancient Mariner]

whenever i go fishing and a big fat juicy tanker cruises past i think of setting up a spread of eels.....

Gotta get one of those. Do you think they sell them at Supercheap Auto?

[Indiana_Jones]

You know you play too much SH3 when you touch yourself when you're viewing the screenshot thread........

:rotfl:

[TigerShark808]

My brother is not as smart as me..he is stuck on mindless games like HALO and Americas Army 3 . :har:

[TigerShark808]

You know your stuck on SH3 when you wake up in the middle of the night and scream " CRASH DIVE"


No seriously.

I was once addicted to a game not so long ago called ASHERONS CALL. Its a game not much different from World oF Warcraft!

WOW!

But it has better Player verse Player mechanics ( you can actually slide and move away from incoming spells)

Way better overall IMO then W.O.W.

Graphics will only take you so far.

Anyways.

I was so addicted to this game...My wife claimed that I woke her up in the middle of the night muttering these words " Try this Armour on..its much better"


Not long after I quit :)

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

You know your and SH3 addict if your playing the game at one in the morning and drinking a bottle of Becks to celibrate your newest kill!!!

[ryanglavin]

i got another one

When your playing a call of duty game and you scream at your friend "CRASH DIVE" when you mean go prone. yes that happens to me all the time.

[PavelKirilovich]

When trying to get the dogs into the basement a couple days ago, they were being laggards, so I bellowed "FLIEGEN! ALAAAAARM!" at them and rushed into the basement. Having no idea what was going on, they followed, whereupon I informed them "Neues tiefen zwo-funf metre" and locked them in the spare room so they wouldn't go ape**** on the labourers.

You crap in your pants and it seems normal.

And keep playing.

[Dave Kay]

You know your and SH3 addict if your playing the game at one in the morning and drinking a bottle of Becks to celibrate your newest kill!!!

Did someone say BECKS? Now you've got my attention! That's the way I like to do it! :rotfl:

Hello, my name is Dave and I'm an SH3-A-Holic:

Last year wife and I visited the resort area Goa, in south India. Spent many days on beaches overlooking the Arabian Sea and watching the big ships come and go, far off in the distance... after we'd return from a day of endless chowing on fresh lobster and prawns washed down with Kingfisher Strong, I'd patiently await for her to drop off into a peaceful rest... then I'd break out the laptop and sink me some damn ships now! :salute:

All in fun! Cheers!

[Pohl]

...you go to sleep and still listen to the waves hitting against your hull
...when all is quiet you start to hear a ping-ping even if you are not playing
...sometimes you hear anything in hydrophone style :o

[Kpt. Lehmann]

@Tigershark & Leandros... that was funny as hell... Good show mate!!! :up::up::up:

You take out the trash and the garbage men are all lookig at you funny.

You wonder why.

Go back into your house and realize you are still wearing your Kptlt. hat. :yep:

The above is a true story.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!
:har::har::har::har:

It is also a true story that I took off with Hanomag's hat and began to run away with it at Neal's house... only to realize that to keep it I'd have to run several hundred miles...

... Not long after that... I ran face-first into the "Lehmann-Proof Door." A short time later, GoldenRivet's wife ran face-first into Neal's wind-chimes... and we became the charter members of the Subsim "Noggin-Club." :doh:

[YukonJack_AK]

When the ringer on your Blackberry is the Crash Dive Sequence from Das Boot...
...and your text message alert is the Torpedo Firing Sequence from the game...
...and your wallpaper is the screenie from the periscope camera of your latest kill...

...I do get some strange looks when my phone rings... :-?

[Steeltrap]

How about if you're having sex and call out "LOS!" at a strategically significant moment....??

[Spike88]

When you're in a parking lot and hear the pinging of a destroyer. I thought it was all in my head, but my girlfriend heard it too.

[Melonfish]

you know your an addict when you visit the local maritime museum where they play a sound recording of ASDIC and you dive for the nearest hidey hole holding your ears whispering "there's no place like home"...

i ALMOST did this, in fact i had to get the hell out of that area quick as it was setting my damn nerves on edge, just that damn pinging sound gives me serious PTSD...

[Jimbuna]

....when you drive your car into a lake to see how deep she can go http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/pirate.gif

[JMV]

When you get your neighbours knocking at your door at A.M. hours, because they 're tired to hear the "Flop Flop" of your washing machine 24/7...and the rinse, and the full speed spins supposed to imitate the onboard compressors etc...

[RConch]

When you retire, just to play GWX 3.0 every day.
I think I work and worry about this more than the job I had for 33 years.:haha:

[JMV]

Just same for me. :haha:

Anyways...I was so addicted to this game and still am i guess.BUT I DONT PLAY.


One night I called out while I was asleep..''PUT THIS ARMOUR ON...IT's BETTER THEN WHAT YOU HAVE"


MY wife had woken up just a few minuets before I spoke these words in my sleep.
She was laughing so hard...Ill never live this down :)

THATS ADDICTED!

[Melonfish]

you know your an addict when you spot mould on your food and you simply pick it off and continue to eat, for instance bread and cheese.

however this may also indicate your a student! :D
