You know you are addicted to SH4 when...
 

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:

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

Standing by my machine at work the normal procedure i look after;
Roll in
press on lenght
push forward
bind
became some weeks ago;
enter torpedo
close door
open bay door
fire!
I'm lucky nobody can hear me think...:88)

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.

Saying "ALL STOP" to yourself at traffic lights :D

when it's late into the night and you're still playing or posting on subsim :rock:

When my wife looks at me funny and I scream "BATTLE STATIONS". She does not think it is cute:oops:

My sister asked me for advice regarding her relationship with her boyfriend,i told her to TORPEDO him!:arrgh!: :yep:

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:

Old Dog

adicted to sh4 ? ... its a joke right ? hehehehehe
you almost scared me there ! you joker !

when you lock yourself into a room with 30+ men for a month.

What happens below 300, stays below 300......

ROFL LAMO:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rot fl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

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

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.

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.

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

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