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!

All in fun! Cheers!

...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

You wonder why.

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

The above is a true story.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!


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."

when you hum tipperary on a regular basis...
when TVs are foreign objects....
when you prefer to be called herr kaleun....
when you find that...no, your house is not made of metal.
when you have recurring dreams of that battleship in your sights, and then the destroyer running into your Turm.
when it snows you go "****ty weather...dammit!" (das boot throwback)
when you crank up your U-boat up to flank (crazy speed ahead) and your in head gramophone starts playing the chase bits from das boot.
when your cellphone ringtone screams "ALAAAARM!"
when you almost wish it required more than one handle to flush the toilet
when you actually learned german from playing SH3
when youre sitting in american history (i live in america see...) and your friends over there saying "wasserbomben..." and lightly tapping the heater with his knuckle, making you jumpy.
when you RP patrol events on certain forums
when you get angry at your librarian for not having any viable U-boat materiel
(arrgh, enough about the nukes, mrs brooks!)
when you get hungry...you don't
when you run out of personal experiences to talk about on this thread!
and when you have a little red book concerning U-boats in your coat pocket at all times(U-boats Under the Swastika by Jack Mallmann)

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

[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.

[JMV]

Just same for me.

[Laufen zum Ziel]

When you have to turn on a fan and water hose to pee.

[Laufen zum Ziel]

When you dye all your underwear black.

[Laufen zum Ziel]

When you paint green & black spots on your sausage and bred to simulate mold.
