  • Offtopic: Is it just me or is the search feature on this forum pretty bad? I was looking for this topic and remembered most of the words in the title but I got garbage results. In the end I had to manually scroll through each page and use the browser's search to find the topic that starts with "you know you're playing".

    I think it's mainly because it sorts it by post date by default and I don't think there's any sort of 'relevance' factor. If I'm really looking for something farther back, I go to Advanced Search and mess around with that a little, unless I know there are very unique words used.

    ...you keep playing even when you don't want to through compulsion.

    ...you celebrate a stellar victory over 3 level 230's after 10 minutes of play... only to end up in a ditch... "Oh yeah, was I driving?"

    Are they generally good cascades (for you) or bad cascades (against you)? They're usually good for me. I'm sure whichever it is means something psycologically profound. icon_e_smile.gif


    I was in an interview today and all I saw in front of me was a purple match being made that caused a green cascade. . . Not even mad.

    ...when every other game you play is now applicable to mpq.

    ...when you really should be doing school but you can't stop playing even though everyone's health is down to zero.
  • ... you watch the recent Castle episode and realize it's Friday (or Thursday for a tiny improvement).
  • When you no longer visit pron sites and instead just look over your recently bolstered roster while fapping.
