Its English translation of my text from Polish E - Zin about Unreal games - Unreal Zone. I hope you will like that article... ;)
Big thanks to Marcin.B.Black for help with translation.

Did you feel REALLY diffrent than the rest of you friends, family, people? Did they still saying to you "you spenting too much time playing those games"? when you are walking on the street, the people are walking on the other side of the street... isn't it strange? But did you ever wonder why they are doing those things? No? And you still dont know why? Well, somebody must say that to you, but... you are playing Unreal/UT2004 too much. What are you doing? Put down that Flak Cannon! No, not only the trigger! AAAAGHH! (xxx drew the first blood!).

How to recognize, that you'v been playing U/UT'99/UT2004 too much? Its simple - you should stop playing, when you doing things like...

1. You are wearing only blue and/or red clothes.
2. If you see a wall - your trying to do a dodge off wall on it.
3. If youre wearing red clothes - you attacking people wearing blue clothes, similar if ure wearing blue clothes.
4. You calling your dog Xan...
5. In drug store you buy all white-orange pills.
6. When you collect 100 pills, you trying to make adrenaline combo.
7. You'v seen a movie about military vehicles - tanks, helicopters etc. Youre confused, because there wasn't anything about Goliath, Leviathan, Raptor etc.
8. You trying to find in liblary historical books about Human - Skaarj Wars.
9. You trying to build three (or six) barreled RL.
10. You are making it!
11. Your calling your neighbour for 1on1.
12. You fragging him.
13. You blaming your neighbour because he doesn't want to respawn, beacause he is afraid beign fragged. Next time you will check if your server has Force Respawn!
14. You are walking trough the street on red light because even if car will go you just can do dodge
15. You jumping from 3 meters high - because you won't lose any HP.
16. You calling pistol (beretta, magnum - the model dosn't matter) Enforcer or Automag.
17. When your neightbour (before being fragged) ask you for hammer - youre searching for Impact Hammer.
18. You try to get into your car(*) by presing E on your keyboard.
19. You cannot understand people, who makes a suicide! ...coz suicide = -1 frag!
20. When you got injured, you don't see your HP status - that's annoying!
21. When youre on outdoor, you wonder, why all players are wearing only human skins...
22. When last time your car(*) didn't wanted to ride, you tried to fix it by Link Gun.
23. mother/wife says to you "go to the shop and buy some sugar/other thing". You answer: "i don't want to play assault..."
24. You wondering, why people are using normal translators. Why they don't use Universal Translator?!
( *)No, no, i didn't mean CARnage, i mean car as a vehicle... ;)

me, too :-/

When I walk from my school to my home I always ask myself "why don't I have a translocator? Or at least a Raptor? How are you supposed to move fast without them on such a huge world like earth?"

Or this one:

-When you have troubles with your partner, just buy her her own version of UT, so you can settle your argues in the arena
-When sitting in a restaurant and the waitress asks you what you want to eat.. you just shout: "PANCAKE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-When watching a WWII-movie, you have to be removed from the building because you are constantly shouting 'MEGA KILL', 'HOLY SHIT', etc...
-When you call a sniper a camper.
-When you are driving your vehicle not far from walking ppl and you wonder if you could use your expandable cutter-arms like on the scorpion.

:lol:

Well this one is for real for me:
In other games (like cstrike or jedi acedemy) I always ask myself why I can't dodge-jump....:-/

I think that we've got the same problem. For example, in Deus Ex, when the enemy starts to shoot me, im trying do make a dodge (its something like instinct. ;)).
