    • You know you're a MASCOT addict when...


      This hopefully will be like MacAddict's "You know you're a Mac Adddict when..."
      -------------
      You know you're a MASCOT addict when:

      *You are driving through a overly-bright tunnel, and your first thought is to set level(0) to 0, or to delete some lights. (This actuly happened to me)
      *You need to cross a puddle, and you try to change the FG tile to plain land.
      *You forget how to use Undo, because MASCOT doesn't support it.

      ------------------
      "Give me a large enough hard drive, a fast enough modem, and I can download the web!"

      • You have nightmares about pxBacks and pxMids.

      ------------------
      "Give me a large enough hard drive, a fast enough modem, and I can download the web!"

    • You know you're a MASCOT addict when:

      *You think you're going crazy because there's an invisible wall that you can't move through, and you ask your friends what info field you've set wrong in the sprite labeled "sliding glass door"

      *You walk around angry because you don't know how to make snowballs get smaller

      *You declare that when all the snow melts there will be no flooding because water levels cannot rise

      *You demand to know how a water's current could change spontainiusly

      *You get mad at yourself for deleting the ice pick required to break through the reflective ice barrier in your bathroom

      *You scold your roommate for stringing rope up with the right side first

      *You no longer ask to be excused, instead you ask all your tablemates if they happen to have an escape ring on them

      *You yell at strangers that they can't hide because you can always smite them

      *You complain about how you forgot to set the ID on the scroll in your house, it doesn't give you magic powers

      *You ask jewlers how they tinted their health capacity increase powerups to look like diamonds

      *When the jewlers insist their diamonds are real, you respond sarcastically,"Oh yeah, then what's their sprite ID? You don't know that? I thought so"

    • When...

      *you try to change level info field (1) when it rains.

      *You ask your mother to make poppyseed muffins for dessert.

      *You use Ferazel related names on this webboard. 🙂

      *You wait to see if there are retracting spikes in the floor before you walk.

      "This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let´s not bicker and argue about who killed who."

    • *You see it snowing outside and say, "How they do that?"
      *Well in a crowded, you get nervous that the sprite count would be to high
      *Someone is blowing bubbles and you catch several of them. You then begin screaming, "I am invincible! FEATHER FALL!" before plummeting to your death. (This has happend to me before 😉 )

      Wiggum: Yeah, yeah! A lot of people are doing that these days.

    • *Whenever you go to a resturant you always call your server by the same name, regardless of who it is. When your friends joke about you being autistic you say, maybe but they could at least tint the sprites now and then.

      *Whenever you open something in a box, you lift the lid off with a stick from as far away as possible because you're scared death powerups might come out. (That's no idle threat in my set of levels 😉 )

      *When you wake up several hours late, you walk around angry that someone was messing with your "Ticks Off" info field last night

      But of course! 🙂

      *Whenever you go near a hill you check to see if the ground is slippery

      *When you see a boulder you try to roll it with your feet

      *When you are playing laser tag, you roll to the ground with your hand out and make a gargleing sound (this happened to me once, but I did it on purpose :))

      Your pet poodle is flying loop-de-loops over my microchips! The poodle is coming! The poodle is coming! (Don't ask 🙂 )

    • All you've got in your fridge is poppyseed muffins, so you try to change their sprite ID's to something more interesting.

      You never jump into swimming pools without checking if you can get out first, if their's spikes at the bottom of the pool, etc.

      You run away from frogs, because you don't have any spells to shoot them with.
