You check the clock and its 23.00, you think its time for bed, you then check it "5mins" later and its 01.00 and you think yipes!!!! really should go to sleep, then finally at 04.37 you catch yourself trawling thru the message boards after hours of flytime thinking where the hell has the time gone ?!?!?!?!
Gents was fun tonite even tho I spent more time either falling to the ground in pieces or ...... generally dead.
I REALLY NEED TO GET SOME SLEEP :(
-
That's nothing. I got up at 5:30AM, to get ready for work at 8, but after spending "only" an hour in the car I got there early (about 7:30), I worked straight through the day (a bit slow toward the end, but still work) and got off at 6:30PM, just to sit in the car for another hour, getting home at 7:15PM. THEN instead of sleeping after eating, I log on to AH until 10PM LMAO!
Couldn't resist the lure of new skin DLs!!

You can sleep when you're dead, wusses.

I will roll out of bed around 5AM and get ready for work, head to work around 6:15am, work from 7-roughly anywhere around 5-7 each night, head home and from Sun-Thurs are usually "No-Fly" days. (Bad weather called: Wifey) :noid But on Fridays I will get in the skies around 9pm and fly till around 4:30-5 in the morning. Most Fridays I will go close to 24 hours if not over that with no sleep. I only get the weekends but I will log in close to 20 hours in 2 days just between Fri/Sat. But I also get to sqeeze in the quality time with the "Scribble" (my 3 year old son) and the wife. Nothing like sleeping through the sermon at church! :lol

okay today I drove down to Temple to help my brother in law move and there was a plane crop dusting. He came up over the hill and my first instinct was to break right and do a split s. Thankfully I didn't roll the truck :rofl
-
heh, know that feeling all too well.
I call it the "Just one more flight syndrome"
In my case I once started saying "Just one more flight " at 11:00 AM on a sat.
and finally ended at 3:00 AM on sunday LMAO
Though in AW it was much worse.
I once played AW for 25 hours non stop
Never again LOL

The pets your kids bring home and you argee to keep them only if you can name them. We have two cats, one is Zeke and the other is Lightning. :D
And then...
When most of the phone calls you get at home ask for you by your call sign.
And then...
Your wife starts asking who is calling and want to know their call sign.
And then...
Squadies from out of state, (even out of country) start showing up at your home and stay for several days and you have a great time showing them the local stomping grounds.
And then...
Your son starts to fly and you have conversations at the dinner table about Aces High, the Squad, and all the players with the various call signs and everyone at the table knows what your talking about.
-
You know your addicted to aces high when you go to airshows and and talk to warbird pilot's and if you disagree with something they say challenge them to a duel
-
and when you go to airshows and when talking to a warbird pilot say "eggs and rox" lol
-
You know your addicted to aces high when...
A psychologist administers a Rorschach test and upon seeing the first ink blot, you scream “Corsair!”
Your wife says she’d like to see you more often so you purchase a cheap cpu and a second AH account!

Or when you actually go to airshows with people you have met in the game and make insane helldiver comments about how nasty it would be to actually have an F-15 or A-10! lamo....Or when your flying back from the airshow, and your buddy from the game happens to be the head controller in the tower and on short final kindly lets you know the field is de-acked and ou are clear to land......
or
actually knowing the difference between a spit I, V, VIII, IX, XIV and spit XVI

When talking on an instant messenger you type / at the beggening of the sentence and dont realize it until you sent it.
When talkin on an instant messenger you type cc instead of ok and rgr when you understand something.
You think about how much cooler your car would be with that second engine.
You fishtail your car and think to yourself "Just like using the rudder"
You wonder how much it would cost to start up a manufacturing plant to produce P38's and sell them cheaper than the millions people spend to fix them.
You plan on winning the lottery and starting that manufacturing plant :p
-
I played AH 52 hours straight once. No rest room breaks, food brought to me.
-
LOL cav!

When you actually think P-51's fought spitfires and hurricanes

You ever roll down the freeway, pull in behind a slower car & wanna squeeze off a few cannon rounds, then break into another lane on someone else's 6 & fire again? This was such a problem for me, as well as 40+ hours a week playing on AW that my wife made me quit for 5 years. Some drivel about being "addicted to a @($^^%$^^&$####) computer game!"
-MI-
-
You know you're addicted when...
You nearly get hit on the highway by an idiot screaming in and out of traffic and you get PO'ed so you instincley floor itand 'chase him down' akin to chasing an LA7 who just porked your field.
You make insane machine gun firing sounds when you get behind a car you think would make good bishrook fodder.
Yelp for joy when your significant other goes away for the weekend cuz you know you will not have to deal with GF/Wife ack and can fly in your undies and eat cheetos/drink beer all weekend...
