You're baking a cake (chocolate! mmmm...) and ALL YOU CAN THINK ABOUT is Wongmo and his bloody dolphins.

Especially when you pour the batter.

You read the first half of this post and 100% expect it to end with "and ALL YOU CAN THINK ABOUT is the Oracle baking cookies."
Mr. Green

(Ok, that wasn't a Metagamer thing, but, hey, we're talking about a Matrix game...)

...the only reason you leave the PC chair is your mate saying "It's time for my shift".

...the only reason your mate leaves the PC chair is when you say "It's time for my shift".

...the world map on your wall seems to have more pin than America.

...your g/friend finally admits; there is something worse than roleplay.

...your PS2 has gathered dust.

...you've constructed a foot stool from the empty coke bottles and candy crates.

...when you go on a date you firstly log your PC into mIRC so it can log anything you are going to miss.

... your pockets are filled with printouts, random sketches and notepaper full of numbers and squiggles.

(BTW XTRA: I'm even confident enough to have an Avatar and a "witty" signature... I'm starting to feel more at home now, even if I haven't solved jack yet.)

...if when your web journal's server goes down, your first reaction is "MetaCortex!"

...if during a power cut, you not only blame "MetaCortex" but also start constructing a dynamo so you can get your PC logged back onto "UnFiction".

...the phrase "That f***ing October 1st picture" is not uncommon in your household.

...Your considering moving your web-hotig to Underscore, cos damn those prices are tasty.

...your computer's activity is beginning to resemble Neo's search for Morpheus...

(Xtrava => Laughing I would wipe my feel, but SquareKnight might try to analyze the door mat afterwards)

...when your post is the 99th joke and you somehow feel like the customer that walked in front of some old woman, only to find out she became the 1000th customer and won a load of money and you realise that you walked in front of her because u wanted to get back quickly to see if there were any new posts...

you have spent the past 9 days compiling 100 reasons to know if you are a metagamer in some distant hope of being recognized when all the dust clears and this game goes to the archives....

...when your Star Wars Galaxies subscription expires... and you don't care

...there is felt tip pen residue on your screen

...you start to communicate with your friends in a new language, made up of prime moudluses that when extracted prdouce a musical tune which when played backwards reveals your "real" conversation.

...if you can't go ten minutes without trying to convert one of your friends to ARG, because they have unique skills that might be relevant. Like pottery.

...your understanding of the plot changes 5 times a day.

...you've used notepad, calculator, paint more times in one week because you've realised MS Office like to convert things on the fly.

...most of your notes end in '?'

...it took you more than 24 hours to realise MetaCortechs wasn't a real company

...coming to UnFiction has provided more hours of entertainment than the official Matrix PS2 game.

...when people you chat to online profess to "liking headaches, honestly"

...when one post with a [soloution] tag can cause you to empty several kilograms of paper off your desk into the waste bin.

...if when a new puzzle appears you start harrassing all your non-ARG friends to help you out, but you can't really explain them what's the point of all that. It's for The Game!
