Forgot one...
When you need to play the MenuMaster_Loop.mp3 (the music from the main menu) in the background the entire day you're at the office. :rock:

Guilty as charged :D

me too :rotfl:

I have a similar problem with Sub Command and real life Helos :oops:
Every time I hear a helicopter I can't rest until I've spotted where it is, and I have the same 'knee-jerk' turn of the head reflex too.
Scary :-?

Hmmmm........SH3 flashbacks when:
When I'm in an underground parking garage and see the exposed pipes, electrical conduits and the little wire cages they put around light bulbs.
When I'm fishing on a foggy morning and picture looking up at the suddenly appearing bow off a DD coming out of the mist.
When we do our monthly fire alarm at work and the lights flash and the alarms go off.
When ever I see/hear seagulls (luckily there arent many nurses around here that stand on the docks and throw flowers into the water!)
ANY noise that even REMOTELY sounds like "Ping"! :huh:

:rotfl: c0sm1c :rotfl:

I thought I was the only one who did that!

I am 1/2 of an ambulance crew here at home and I would say "ALLE MASCHINEN STOPP!" whenever we would come to a stop light/ stop sign.

My partner/ other ambulance crewman/ has even begun to copy me... and he doesn't even play SH3.

You know you've been playing too much SH III (happened to me) when you start sweating when you hear a ping and don't stop untill you've identified the source :P

I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to revive this thread.

You know you play too much SH3 when you are in a particularly boring class and you reach for the Time Compression button.

You know you play too much SH3 when, instead of saying "'sup Rich" to your friend you say "sub Rich"

My little addiction:


When you buy read light bulbs for your room then when it gets night you shout at a friend "Rig for Red"

Yes! That happens to me!
I live in Cadiz, near Rota Naval Base, and the helo traffic is heavy (sometimes also Orions). When I find the helo, the next thing I do is identify it. A Seaking! dive the ship! ups, I'm driving my car... dive the car! :rotfl:

Other thing that tells you are playing too much is have ASDIC sound in your mobile phone for incomming messages.

And, of course, if you have a red light on your desk :D

I have ASDIC sound on my phone for incoming messages... I´m thinking of changing it to the scene from Das Boot, when the phone rings and Thompsen yells ALAAAARM!!!! Or maybe I put it to play when some calls me... :hmm:

I have ASDIC sound for my messages... and generalquarters alarm (destroyer command) for... yes, the alarm.

You know you play too much SH3 when you rope your roomate into playing your TC1 mission while you go to classes :smug:

...when you instanly recognise ships in WW2 movies.

That happend to me when seeing 'The Thin Red Line' intro scenes: 'Holy crap, that is a Liberty cargo!' :|\

.... when my husband receieved a free detailed technical disertation while we first watched Das Boot together a month or so ago.
