Over the last 3 threads on this matter this is the only post that has actually made me laugh. Some have made me chuckle, sniggle or smile, but this is the only that has made me laugh.
When you end up having to write 2 detailed book reviews, study before a major chemistry exam and write a detailed report about the making of a mousetrapcar (don´t ask me about it) all in one night because you´ve played too much EB. (Guilty as of right now. I really should get off the internet and start writing again.)
When you rush and only put one "You know you play too much EB when..." because it interferes with PLAYING EB!
Made me chuckle. Not laugh though.
When your main usage of your very expensive camera is taking photos of EB just to make sure that even if all computers in the world melt down you´ll still have some evidence of EB. (kinda guilty)
When you manage to convince that girl you´ve had your eyes on for months to come over to your place. You serve her a wonderful dinner, you charm her, you set up some really romantic lights, you play it smooth, everything is going amazingly.
She asks you put on some romantic music as she makes herself comfortable on your couch. And you put on your signed disc of Musica Romana´s Symphonia Panica, track 4 with all the heavy brass instruments on highest volume with your brand new subwoofer making the walls shake and ears shatter.
