79. While playing Halo 2, you actually pause to ask yourself, "Does HKDL have Xbox Live?". You then laugh maniacally for five minutes.

Thank goodness more people think about ARG in the john. However, sitting in a bathroom and getting ideas on where it hide clues... sounds painful.
Ooh, i had that happen to me: I was taking a break (you know what i mean ), and i saw a little drain grate overa drain on the floor, and it gave me a wonderful idea for a puzzle!
80. You make puzzles out of random objects (see above)
81. You find it cool that you are one of a couple thousand people who could tell you what Puppetmaster means, who Virgil Tatum is, and what the heck is an Axon is!
82. You talk about ARGs while in public (ex. while on the subway train) hoping that another ARG player a few seats down will go "Did you just say 'Who is Benjamin Stove?'"
83. You watch A.I. just to bask in the the glorious radience of The Beast. (I haven't done this yet, but i'm going to soon!)
84. You post to an Unfiction thread entitled "You know if you're an ARG player!!"

37. You're scared to walk through your house at night because you're afraid a guy in a mask is going to jump out at you and drag you away to a secluded area to instruct you to deliver a package of unknown contents to a random person you've never met... and you have no idea why you're even doing it.
39. Unfortunately, your dreams all revolve around trying to crack a damn cult leader's password so you can see a page which may not even be useful.

guilty
85. You change the bluetooth name on your phone to "the sleeping princess" in hope to get the attention of any ARG players that could be nearby (sadly, hasnt worked yet.....)
86. You jump when you answer the phone, and hear a click, sure that you're about to be connected to an in-game character.

Don't bother. AI ARG = Great. AI Movie = sux.

87. You don't care that A.I. is supposedly a crappy movie, you still want to see it. Because of the Beast!

72. You realise it was an ARG you got yourself into two years ago and you were a fool for ignoring the emails and blocking IM's that kept appearing at random times.
Wasn't two years ago, but I randomly watched the AV videos before I knew what an ARG was... just a random YouTube find. I was so creeped out I tried to block it from my mind... but yeah.
anyway...
(not sure if these have been said already, but whatever.)
89. You spend your time devising brand-new cipher codes to see if they might work on that long string of random characters in that email you got last night, which was most likely included to escape spam detectors.
90. Every moment of your time online since you were introduced to ARG has been spent online, trying to read the entire uF archive. (semi- guilty of this one...)
91. You play games you hate, just because they're ARGs.
92. You feel an extraordinary sense of "special" whenever you see a commercial for SubLymonal (guilty of this as well...)
93. You can never look at a payphone the same way again...

94. While watching a movie, you freeze-frame it because you thought you might have seen an Actual Phone Number on a poster that actress just walked by.
95. You did.
96. You call said phone number at 3:00 a.m., and accidentally wake a little old Chinese lady.
97. You record said conversation because you don't recognize Chinese, and you're sure that she's speaking in ROT13.
98. You spend hours deciphering the Chinese, only to be deeply disturbed by the results. You quickly sign yourself up for therapy.
99. Because you feel bad, you devise a mini-ARG for the Chinese lady, and leave an apologetic voicemail directing her to uF and giving her the timecode on the movie where you thought you saw her phone number.
100. You include a dead drop in your mini-ARG, hoping to meet the Chinese lady who's taken up so much of your time.

101. You still have the "#pmchat Wonderland 2006 winter into spring tour" schedule taped to the back of your bedroom door.
102. ...And you have no intention of taking it off anytime soon!

103. You hear Clutch's new single (song is 10001110101) and wonder if the chorus decodes to something

106. You wake up in the middle of the night because you realize you might have given your fellow collectives a bad lead.
107. You spend the rest of the night going through everything again just to be sure that you're right, but end up waking up at 3pm in front of your computer wondering if you aren't perhaps crazy.
108. When people bump into you or randomly spill things on you half of your mind wants to stand up and shout "YOU'RE PART OF IT AREN'T YOU! WHO'S BEHIND ALL OF THIS!"
109. You're always late since you get stopped at every graffiti art, mispelled signs, random paper posters on electric posts, every interest t-shirt, every movie poster every etc....
110. Every site you visit is cross examed by google and wiki to make sure you haven't come upon a psuedo site.

111. You watch Heroes because you can relate to saving the world time, after time, after time.
112. You have worn out the writing on your F5 button.
113. You have dreams about checking posts on Unforums.
114. You have dreams about someone solving a puzzle before you.
115. You make a birthday card for one of the characters then have all the other players sign it.
116. Then the character leaves you a thank you video message and you blush. (happened to me ask thebruce or check it out HERE ) I love you Faith!!!
117. You get mad when an ARG ends, or ends poorly.
