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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
