When you can think of a better use for the wasted space at work that's being taken up by agency files.

All cheese makes you think of Pacman

When ever you wear a long sleeve jacket you make your left hand disappear and pretend to shoot like Megaman. If your a really big dork you jump with your left leg bent and your other arm up.

...when you see a 65" plasma TV at Best Buy and start mentally planning the cabinet it would take to house it, and wondering if you could get it down the stairs when it was done.

When relatives come over and give strange looks when they see the Pole Position steering wheel attached to the non-installed control panel, other miscellaneous arcade parts, etc. strung out in the basement. They have no idea what any of that stuff is.....

You're trying to troubleshoot a monitor problem right after you wake up in PJs in your 20F garage.

opt2not · « **Reply #12 on:** February 01, 2011, 02:28:46 pm »

Whenever you see an old CRT monitor or TV laying by the side of the road you think to yourself "I could use that for another mame cabinet!".

You're talking to the wife about music at your funeral (can't remember why) and you pick the Super Mario Brothers theme tune as your choice and have everyone turn up in arcade related clothing.

KonkeyKong · « **Reply #16 on:** February 01, 2011, 03:28:57 pm »

...you can sing along to "Pac Man Fever"...... and do.

When your girlfriend is trying to plan a California vacation and the discussion starts with "do you want to go to San Francisco before or after the arcade thing (CAX).

When things like this and the phrase 'Pole Position' make you oddly aroused...........

That $14,600 motorcycle makes you think of the max hi score possible on level one of Ms Pacman

The text notification sound effect on my phone is the Mortal Kombat guy saying "Toasteeeeeee"

Everytime you look at a kitchen countertop, table, or anything, you imagine how it would look with a built in arcade game.

EDIT: Not sure why it quoted lol.

JODY · « **Reply #28 on:** February 02, 2011, 12:25:39 am »

You made a whole new door just to get the 4 player X-men into your home.

If, while emptying pockets to do laundry, you find tokens mixed in with the loose change ... just happened to me.

When watching a dvd, you freeze it anytime you see a pinball / arcade game just so you can make out what it is...

Had to rip open the Amazon package and show the wife the Project Arcade 2.0 book yesterday

Yea my text notification is the sound it makes when you pick up a key in Gauntlet. LOL

And my ringtone is the song "Dracula's Castle" from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

I guess I am a game dork.

My boss at works questions if i am working or playing Atari because my email sound is the Pacman death from the 2600 game...lol

Donkbaca · « **Reply #38 on:** February 02, 2011, 11:51:55 am »

Haha, I think Bender's deal pretty much sums everything up. When you get fired up about something, only to be met by a "so what?"

You have dreams that you are stuck in a video game...

Not you might be, you ARE an arcade dork when you do this:
