10. Even the most basic of tasks and objects in your life are now regarded for their effect on how much heat they require and their salvage value after use.

9. During last weekend's big fight, you found yourself shouting variations of "Go for the legs! Leg 'im! Leg im!!" and / or "Disable his arm! Take out the arm!!"

8. For the past few days, you've noticed that on your drive home from work, you make strange weapon fire sounds to yourself as the car in front of you loses its bumper first, then the hatch, until it finally explodes in a meltdown of flawless victory.

7. When your child came home with an assignment that relies on the use of an atlas, you got two minutes into browing Sarna.net or mwomercs.com before you realized your error.

6. You've already canceled summer vacation plans, reasoning that "we should enjoy the home we have, honey, and umm... save our money. Yeah that's it."

5. In preparing for a presentation, when your boss mentioned several critical, hard points that needed to be smoothed out, you asked him if he was thinking LRMs or another PPC.

4. Somehow, you found a way to pre-order MWO.

3. You've gone to your local department of motor vehicles and picked up the custom license plate application form. It's not for your mech's name. It's for the variant you plan to use.

2. More than three-quarters of the threads on mwomercs.com/forum are marked as read on your computer.

1. "Hahaha... no.... REALLY. SERIOUSLY. MY NAME IS STAR COLONEL..."

Strangely enough... This is the same workout regiment an on-line nude human participating in lewd acts-addict prescribes to. :P

There is a constant narrator in you head discussing your unit, house, or options to join one.

Battle plans and RP are constantly floating around the back of your head.

You are considering whether you should go with a flight suit and deck it out to match your personal vision of a mech pilot suit (for Halloween, of course) or if you should go with shorts and a tee shirt under your get up old school style. (good thing I have a wholesale account with Rothco, I may need multiple).

Worried if your wife will leave you and take the kids later this year (and wonder if you'll notice).

Already showing the 4 year old the movies and images form the game to get him on your side. Playing MA 2 because even he can play it. Shopping for cheap miniatures on eBay for him to play with while you are at work. In other words, swinging him to your side when the wife eventually melts down.
