10. When you wake up in the morning wondering if today is going to be 1.03.
9. When You're dissapointed that you dont get a "Victory x" every time you pass someone on the freeway.
8. When driving, you now hard-roll your eyeballs to the full extent of their peripheral vision in order to check traffic; your head doesn't move, just your eyes. Its especially bad when you're combining this movement with imaginary thumb-strokes on the top of your gear-shifter that correspond to your view-check key-mapping on your joystick.
7. When you head to the bathroom to take a leak, and you start to press "G" to lower your gear.
6. When you start leaning backwards and forwards in your chair as you climb and descend in-game.
5. When you accuse the stalled car on the side of the freeway of "ditching".
4. When you turn on your computer at work in the morning and get dissapointed that there is No "E" engine sound.
3. When you start referring to sport utility vehicles as F4U's.
2. When you begin to realize that you call your trips to work in the morning "sorties" and traffic back-ups as "furballs".
And the #1 thing that will let you know you're playing too much Aces High....
1. When You start to refer to your family jewels as the "1K Eggs"

11. In real life, whenever you see an aircraft fly overhead you yell, "CON!".
-
You say "cc" to somebody at work...
-
When your wife is driving, and you notice a tail gater in the passengers' mirror, and you say "Honey, check your six..." I did this once!
-
Hahah or when you see a hot chick with a nice tail and think "F6 and Zoom"

..when you want to buy Mercedes because that nasty sight over the radiator...
Here in Finland most Taxis are Mercedes-benzs.
Local joke tells about one taxi driver with M-B and little "Loco" customer....
Customer asks driver what is that star on the hood for ?
Driver tells that it's his sight for "hit'n'run".
They're driving in city and when driver passes pedestrians he allways shouted "Damn I missed that one..."
After driver "missed" couple more "Loco" thinks he should help his driver on his hobby...
Next time when passing by a pedestrian driver shouted "Damn... I missed.." the Loco told him not to worry because he just take'd care that pedestrian with his door (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

-When you "educate" your Co-workers to tell you "6666" if your Boss is somewhere behind you , while you are posting in the BB...
-When you "perform marital duties" & tell our wife : "Wait 'till propdrag is modelled!"

Funked, the cure to the "cc" problem is to pretend it's an Italian affectation (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif).
To keep on the car theme:
"You try to convince the insurance agent the accident was the other guy's fault as his car skidded to a stop before yours did."

Actually have done this one.....
On a conference call at night with our Hong Kong office, while playing Aces High (naturally)...and answered yes to a question by saying "Roger"!
That's how you know you've played too much Aces High and Roger Wilco!

"Pulling A Lead" on the car in front of you using the dead bug mark on your windshield as a sight.
When the lead is correct, you sound "Dak-a-Dak-A-Dak-A-Dak!!"

I knew I've been flying to long when I was with my daughter while she was driving and when we started to come over a hill I caught in the corner of my eye red letters coming towards us so I yelled "con 2 o'clock".
My daughter looked at me funy cause it was only a sign for a local returant.
I've also been know to climb out of the sunroof of my wifes Blazer and shoot my quad 50s at low flying planes(she really love this). (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

You guys are lucky in one way... can you imagine what level of control i have to maintain when my job is to fly everyday in a real aircraft?!?!?!?!
ok...i admit, once I was right over the runway threshold at 2000 field and asked for landing. TWR answered:' clear to land, expedite because Delta is coming in'... hehehehe awsome... I took control from my student and his next word were :'Yoohooohooo'. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

When driving your eye gets instantly drawn to any dot in the sky.
You start to think its ok to squeak at the boss like you do to Pyro...
"Well if you really wanted a good company here you would..........Blah"

ok whew, Mighty1, I feel better. Sorta, I've not gunned out of the sunroof yet.(In front of anyone!) Not yet! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
I did explain to a friend about Ace higH last night during the Pacers vs Laker game and found myself in a tight spin with no tail section. My son is not planning to forgive me for some time. He's a big Pacer fan of course. I'm a big bad traitor for not maintaining consintration. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/redface.gif)

I catch myself saying 'rgr that' at work and one time the full compliance "rgr copy". Here is the ultimate in patheticism when your wife or in my case fiance is talking to you while on the pc and you hit your RW talk key when replying to her, My whole squad heard me say 'yes honey' to them boy did that take alot of explaining.

LOL.
In the car:
I keep looking for the rudders at my car to trim it.
I tend to drop my fuel tanks before making a turn.
I try to refuel my car by standing at the iron plates at gas stations and refuse to get out before getting "weapon reload complete" message.
When I see some other car approaching me from my 6 at the faster speed I use split s and get him burned.
And 1 advice, do not try to get trucks with slow 6 approach.
With my girlfriend:
I told her that her tits are uber and overmodeled.
I keep trying to get her by surprice from her 6oc, avoiding boring and frustrating HO.
Normally when we walk we keep nice formation with as close distance as 200 ft.

Today, while I should have been watching my 10 month old daughter, she managed to remove about 5 cups of dirt from a potted plant and fling it around the living room, rub it in her hair, stick it in her ears, eat it, etc... I was "distracted" by this stupid game...
It will be much better when she turn two because I plan on getting her her own acount and making her my gunner.

HEhehe just happened to me 30 minutes ago...
You know you've played too much Aces High when...
There is few fuel in the car's tank and you start thinking that if a con comes at least you'd be able to be nimble!!! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
not to talk about the urgent feeling to win some altitude to be able to dive if you are left wihtout fuel near the station!!!
