Yeah I'm sure people have done something like this before, but I'm taking the liberty of making a new one (flame on if you want, I don't care)
anyways...

You know you have been playing Planetside too long when:

1. You try to patch up your car with a caulking gun
2. You run around your neighbor hood trying to "cap" people's houses
3. You attempt to open your door with a laser pointer.
4. You can't add to this list because you are playing Planetside.

Other good ones I've heard (but didn't make up):

5. You break down and cry uncontrollably every time you see a backpack.
6. You call for someone to come and kill you when you get stuck in a shower stall.

Feel free to add to this list if you can think of some more.

27. You sit in the checkout line of a store, trying to decide between two items, because you know you're stuck with one for 24 hours until you can forget it.

28. You rush to the scene of a car accident, shouting to the people, "Don't respawn, adv. medic here!"

29. You once again sit in the checkout line of a store, silently hoping an enemy cr5 will OS the pad, shortening the line.

30. You start your car and wait for it to auto-drive off out of your garage.

You might be playing too much PlanetSide if:

After you've placed an order, you swear the McDonalds drive-through lady asked if that was the best you can do.

You're going to pwn some Vikings in Valhalla when you die.

You're playing baseball and try to steal a base by crouch-walking, hoping the nme team won't notice you.

You've overclocked the office's pencil-sharpener to reduce lag.

You've spent more than $500 on PC upgrades needed to play a $50 game.

- You put soda cans under peoples feet in an attempt to boomer them.
- You hope they don't see the green glow when you put the soda can down.
- You crouch-walk when you're trying to sneak up on someone.
- You stoped playing PS and still post on PSU because you've been there so long you love the community.
- You've made/helped make a movie.
- You get up in the morning and put your clothes on confused, because you can't find the key that makes you cloak.
- You get locked out of your car, but think thats no problem, because you got adv. hacking.
- When you enter a room, you crouch-walk first, looking for any enemies.
- When you're sneaking up on someone, and they catch you, you try and turn surge on, and sprint away, through multiple doors, because you think that they have DL.

You suddenly come to realize you've wasted your youth sitting infront of a computer shooting at adolesents in some FPS on steroids. With a second epiphany that you are 40 years old, still living with your parents, still got your Slim Shady and Korn posters and worse yet, still a virgin.

Tribes 1 had so many useful tertiary commands that I changed the layout to ESDF. 90% of players did. Maybe that's why they used it for the sequel.

Anyway, I keep trying to use planetside commands in other games, and even other programs entirely. Like Microsoft word--why won't it let me purchase my favorites?
