Top Ten Signs You're Addicted to the Barrow-Downs - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Oddwen · 03-21-2007, 06:09 PM

I just spent nearly eighty dollars on the Sims 2 and some expansion packs, almost exclusively to create a neighborhood filled with Barrow-Downers.

In case you don't know, The Sims is a program where you create little simulated people, buy or build them houses, give them jobs and manipulate relationships with other sims, and just generally run their lives.

If you are interested, I'm accepting applications here. No BDer will be added without their concent, except for I did do the BW, I will remove him if there is a problem.

You've almost learned to type without looking at the keyboard.

(I wouldn't use the keyboard half this much if I wasn't here.)

Ooh, I wonders, does having most posts on this thread mean that I'm the most addicted to BD?

No, it means you want to be the most addicted to BD. Which is quite a big sign of addiction itself.

Another symptome is checking this thread too often. In some cases, it might also develop in something called "Down-chondria". It is like hypochondria, except it does not apply to RL illnesses, but shows itself in that you are searching through this thread and checking what of the signs you can observe on yourself. So this is actually what you have, Lommy.

I'm debating whether I should accept that definition or whether I find in inacceptable...

At work, I keep seeing this brand of clothes called "Gildan" - I keep reading it as "Glirdan". Or even thinking "Glirdan and Gil-Galad have a children's clothes business? Oh noooes!".

After trying to keep track of other WW players' time zones, you find yourself saying, at one AM: "Oh no! I have class in three hours! ...hmm, why is it still dark?"
