... you try to determine the 'purpose' of a fictional AI in under an hour, when most people have spent their entire lives searching for their purpose and failed.

... You look forward to whomps, since they make the day more exciting.

... You spent 2 hours figuring out how to use your own betamaze tool to recreate the tapestry picture because BrianEnigma asked why wou hadn't done it already.

... You realize you missed the updates because you were busy working on another angle, not because you weren't awake or online..

...If you leave the home forum for three days and realise you now have the same level of knowledge as the newbies

...If you are pretty convinced the other players have got exponentially more IQ than you

...If you are starting to suspect your friends of being PM's

...If you start nodding when you read any of this thread

...You no longer need the glossary page

...You bought an answering machine, just in case they phone while you are at work

...ARG'ing has now appeared under your hobbies on your CV

...Your own homepage now has stegged images, hidden folders and a collection of home grown cryptology programs

...You can now read tapestry. Not decode. Read.

...You have named your Star Wars galaxies character "Whomp"

...Your mate is now leaving Metacortex updates stuck to the fridge with magnets

...You've considered buying another PC just to browse Metacortex whilst you play online games

...You have installed multiple web browsers in case the content of PaintOver changes between browsers.

...While filling in an online application form, you used the hometown "Redland"

...Your friends now think you took some seriously strong medication on halloween

...When browsing "UnFiction" you tell lies and say you are searching for porn. Becasue:
A) You don't want 15 million questions
B) You are ashamed of ARGing
C) The truth will get you dumped

...when people ask you to do a favour for them, you hand them a copy of OctPaint1 and say you will do the favour as long as they solve it... ...and you take some of their suggestions seriously... ...even the ones about where to shove it, because even that could be a soloution

...All your quick-link keyboard keys now goto places on the Metacortech's sites.

...Your harddrive is now absolutley full of paint programs, decryptors, music software, wave editors, programming languages.... ...and it was almost empty a month ago... ...and it's 80Gb...

...You now know what it's like to think in circles.

...You caught qwerty face three nights in a row.

...You've moaned out "Beth!" at a very... uh... unopportune time...
...only to aplogise, but you've been playing too much Metacortechs...
...only to drop yourself in it, because your g/friend is called Elizabeth...
...which then peaks your interest...
...but she's angry and orders you into the spare room...
...until she realises thats where the PC is...
...so you kiss and makeup... in an affectionate way....
...then she screams Jesse...

-you go out and buy a new ($$$) 15" powerbook ($$$) so you no longer have to consider installing a toilet, kitchen, and laundry facility in your current "office", now the game can come with you everywhere Twisted Evil

- you justify to your wife that, 'said powerbook' purchase was to "better our home's technological standpoint in this age of computers". And she tells you how smart you are for even thinking that way Twisted Evil

...you carry your 17" PowerBook out into the kitchen while cooking dinner--just in case something happens during that time.

...you burn dinner because something did happen.

...you cook dinner in your computer room because your laptop is old and broken

...you find out that your 21" monitor (although quite old) doesnt generate enough heat to cook eggs, and now you cant see the forums through all the yolk

[edit] ...spelling heat "hit" then having to edit your post, all because your brain is fried from playing this game too much [/edit]
