You know you play too much DW when...

[Wicky]

You know you play too much Distant Worlds when...

when you stare into a black hole all day, because you believe you can discover all secrets of the universe

when you mount solar panels on your car, so that it doesn't consume fuel while standing still

[Malevolence]

When you don't have time to post on the forums.

[Aloid]

You use your finger to click on real stars in the sky to see what kind of resources and bonuses they have.

[JonathanStrange]

You run out of fuel because you refuse to deploy at the local Gas Giant.

You forget to pay your taxes " 'cause the AI's supposed to take care of that."

[Fishman]

You know you play too much DW when you've been asked multiple times to upload saves you no longer have because DW ate them.

[gargoil]

When your wife asks you if your done taking over the galaxy so we can go food shopping now.

[JonathanStrange]

Despite eagerly awaiting DW's release and posting enthusiastic speculations and questions up to the day before game's launch, you suddenly disappear and aren't heard from again. Like a certain poster named "chrxxxxxx111."* Too busy to post....

I suggest a CPA slave. As good as an automated AI. Better really, because you can behead them if you don't like your return.

When everyone around you turns into "Furries"

[JonathanStrange]

You attempt to "colonize" your neighbor's empty backyard.

[Starfry]

You played too much DW if you chase a unnamed freight truck to see if warehouse is mining any ultra-rare luxury resources.

You played too much DW if you refused to buy a new house because your wife says there's no porn, beers, or steak to be mined in that house.

You played too much DW if you crowd the offending person when that person orders to move your butt out of the room to do some chores.

You played too much DW if you trained the dog to fetch the beer and declare war on the neighbor's cat if the dog disappears.

You definitely played too much DW if you attached five propane tanks to your M-16.

[2guncohen]

You played too much DW IF you wanted to Automate your children to do there tasks.

You played too much DW IF you ask your wife to do some upgrades.

You played too much DW IF You sit on the Toilet and scream Black Hole , Black Hole , Jump god damned jump.

You played to much DW IF You drop off your kids (troops) in a nice villa and claim it as your new planet, and plant a flagg in the garden.
And then renaming the street because you didnt liked the name.

[martok]

....You have dreams about the game. (Yes, I've really done that, sadly!)

[Interesting]

You dream that you are doing something in the game.

Like I dread about micro-managing a bunch of stuff like obsessive compulsive for organization/control.

Its more like a nightmare... now that I think of it.

[dawilko]

When your wife demans that you stop taking over the galaxy and take out the trash.

[dude]

... when you had the Masters Golf tournament on the 20" PC monitor while you played DW on the 32" HD tv...

[Webbco]

When you look at your car and, for a split second, want to order it to retrofit to the latest design at the nearest spaceport.

[OberonDark]

When you want to click a button to change your country's government to the Way of the Ancients.

[Interesting]

When you meet new people on the street and you try to offer them your ten bucks in exchange for their seventeen bucks and eighty five cents.
