You know you're a Rifts geek if...

[Zer0 Kay]

When you look at your Palladium Game Files and they're 8MB and you think oh good I could still fit it onto a PC-3000 Hand Held Computer. Which you would still buy just to say you owned one even though a thumb drive stores more than 1000 times more.

[taalismn]

You'd sell your soul to be ARCHIE-3's Idea-Man
You think Mindwerk's Angel of Death is actually pretty sexy
You've asked your local garage mechanic to 'Megadamage' your car
You've ever tried to use Telemechanics to fry the computer of another poster on these forums who you disagree with, or tried to use the Nightspawn power 'Lightning Rider' to punch them out.
You've shifted at least one level of alignment since joining these forums.

If you ever wonder how cool it be to have a Dog boy as friend.

You wished for a hovercycle just so you could get around traffic.

You always wanted an AT-88 just for home security.

You want a nerual stick to use for personal defense.

A vibro katana would look cool in your sword collection.

[ShadowLogan]

...you wished to be a Burster
A. to have an easier time digging out form a snow storm
B. be a one man fire department

You wished for a hovercycle just so you could get around traffic.

AND/OR simply to avoid those pesky snowy & slippery road conditions.

You've PROGRAMMED an online Dragonese translator...

You've PM'd, and begged, Taalismn for his Dragonese translator because you know he can post it on the Forums.

Now if someone else was to get a tattoo of your avatar face that would grant to total Geekdom immunity.

If said tattoo is considered to have mystic properties as a result.

It summons me...instantly.

I have 9,000 M.D.C., know all spells at 20th level, and have 12,000 P.P.E. and 4,500 I.S.P. (save as mater psionic and have all psionic powers).

If you never had to look at the links int the RIFTS Favourite Art thread, because you remeber what they all look like.
As above but you also can list off page number for the non-cover art.

[johnkretzer]

if you saw the Kia commercial during the super-bowl....and thought Rifts.

[taalismn]

You can list from memory all the power armor and robot types that have appeared in the pages of Rifts...but you cannot remember your own family tree.

Yup but then again some of the PB stuff could already be considered that.

If you were given "the nod" from Kevin after you explained what the hell your doing jumping on the "dead" bodies of your fallen enemies and stabbing them a bunch of times. Was anyone else at Kevin's PFRPG table in '09 when he asked me that?

[taalismn]

You know the political organization of the Coalition States better than you do your own state government....
You can recognize the major members of the CS, but have trouble remembering who your state congressman is...

You really wish you had Coalition attitude and Coalition firepower, so even if you screw up, you could blow the %&*&%$ out of the guy yelling at you, and not feel any guilt at all about wasting him.

Yeah - Freddie was cool enough to put me in the pic I had commissioned for Kev. I'm on the far right hand side. I've lost weight since then and am completely bald now, but that's me.

The other one is by Kent Burles. I've also got con sketches of me by...well...pretty much the rest of the Palladium artists that were there that year.

When looking for a house, you avoid "known" ley line nexuses and gravitate to the midwest for optimal survivability.

You've started setting up a 'Rifts Survival Trust' for your kids/grandkids, with sealed instructions on where to go, what to do.

Um...*blush*...

Really? Did you have to go there? Yes, I've actually checked into areas of heightened psychic presence, and yes, I avoid them.

Also - the game has made me realize many of the things I'd need if the fit hit the shan.
