You know you play too much Elite...

if you catch yourself copying the bizzare whistling that happens when you ship gets hot scooping. But doing it at the supermarket

 

[SeregDuin]

..your joystick arm has tennis elbow.

 

[Xodz]

When you start having more fun on the forums than the game.

 

[Urk]

…Every time you close your eyes you just see an undulating starfield.

Been getting this lately.

 

[elayeth]

You buy a hat with trackir 5 and your 14y old son calls you a nerd.
Happened to me yesterday. ;-)

on your way home approaching your front door and you catch yourself thinking "dont forget the docking request"

 

[Urk]

You request docking permission from your wife....

 

[Poplin]

You have dreams about Elite.

 

[EddyRockSteady]

You rage-quit after an epic temper tantrum and storm out of your local ASDA store threatening the entire management with an imminent Thargoid infestation because you cannot find the isle stocking the discounted 2 for 1 Palladium cannisters, leaving your wife with the shopping list, a half - trolley with a bum wheel and two screaming toddlers..........

Yes, congratulations. You unknowingly just compounded your misery and hit the self-destruct-via-spouse button. Should have unmapped that one......ain't gonna be pretty when she gets home!

Hillarious! Beats me trying to swipe in to my house with a travel card and trying to operate my work printer with a fridge magnet!

 

[Avago Earo]

You hear 'Unexpected Item' in the supermarket and look right to check module priorities.

Permission Denied

All too often!
Gonna have to try a different approach.

When you can't wait till you get home to fire up your Asp and head deeper int the inky darkness

 

[Vandyl]

You find yourself playing a different game and enjoying it more…

 

[unite]

when your putting your 3 year old to bed having to sit with him till he falls asleep (awkward stage) and find yourself sitting there on the ground with the laptop on your knee and a heavy blanket over your head to block out the light!

I've been playing every day for hours, more than a month so far and right now am flying a Clipper with about 7.5 million in the bank...

P.S. i really hate to ruin all of your fun, but if you sit normally on a chair for too long, I hear the center of your mass is around your prostate, which means that if you sit for too long during the day without a special seat that can redistribute your weight, you can damage your prostate

I know it's weird, but you can use one of the airplane neck pillows, or something with a hole in the middle. I think it's worth it for your health, certainly is for me.

When you talk about in univers politics with a friend as if they were real at a restaurent
