You Know You're Addicted to NeoQuest When... by goldengirl411 |  |
GAMES ROOM - Do you like NeoQuest? Do you play it a lot? Well, are you addicted
to it? If you like to play NeoQuest, chances are you are already or are going
to be addicted to the game. Here is a very short list of ways you can tell if
you are addicted to NeoQuest, or if you still have time to run and hide before
addiction takes over.
You know you're addicted to NeoQuest when…
1 ...You find your way around the Techo Caves without the use of maps...
2 ...You purchase a Noil to practice your battle moves on...
3 ...You sit for hours drooling over that NeoQuest Hero Plushie...
4 ...You no longer refer to monsters and bosses as 'that brown thing with wings
and a tail' and 'that one guy in that cave thing'...
5 ...You complain about not being allowed to die...
6 ...You start making fun of the names of monsters...
7 ...Most of the time people talk to/about you, it has something to do with
NQ...
8 ...You start submitting guides about NeoQuest to The Neopian Times, every
week day hour... ^.~
9 ...You imagine yourself in the game as the hero...
10 ...You imagine yourself in the game -- as a bad guy...
11 ...You make bets with your friends about who can get the next trophy first...
12 ...Every time you aimlessly wander around the Neopets site, you always somehow
end up at the NeoQuest window...
13 ...Half of your poor pet's page is dedicated to NQ...
14 ...You start to panic if you don't play NQ for more than 24 hours...
15 ...You were jumping for joy when NQ became available 24/7...
16 ...People greet you by saying: "How's NQ going?"...
17 ...You think back in horror to when you thought the game was boring...
18 ...You bribe your friends to start playing NQ...
19 ...You make an oath to play NQ, and only NQ until you beat the whole game...
20 ...Whenever you suddenly yell something like: "NO, not again!!! Why?!" all
your friends automatically assume you died in NQ -- Because it's always true...
21 ...You know the highest attack every monster can do...
22 ...The number of times you mentioned 'NQ' on this page exceeds the number
of hours you spent playing it. …Ooops. NQ, NQ, NQ, NQ, NQ…
23 ...You make a list similar to this...
24 ...That list gets so long that you seriously don't remember what you did
or did not add...
25 ...You know what IDNQ stands for...
26 ...You can say you forgot to save an NQ guide and had to rewrite it as an
excuse for staying on the computer so long -- an excuse that your family will
believe…
27 ...You frequently tell people, 'I'll do that right after I gain this level...'
28 ...You quit sleeping, going to school, eating, showering, etc. to play NeoQuest...
29 ...You morph your pet into a white Lupe, hehe…
30 ...You write a page worth of stuff about a keyless door...
31 ...You go on vacation for a week, and end up getting a plane ticket to come
back early - Guess why?...
32 ...You know all the names of wands and how much damage they do...
33 ...You no longer need either the map or the note to get all the keys in the
Temple of Roo...
34 ...You start shortening monster names to things like AoR and MM...
35 ...You think about numbering that list you wrote about being addicted to
NQ, but realize it'll take forever...
36 ...Someone tells you the name of a monster, and you are able to quickly match
it up with an image, or the other way around...
37 ...You are familiar with many of the monsters' special attacks, final and
opening speeches, etc...
38 ...You know which healing potions heal how many health depending on how many
skill points you have in Life Weapons...
39 ...You can write an NQ guide in under an hour...
40 ...You actually decide to read this list, and get this far on it, without
me forcing you to... ^.^
41 ...You're working on a theory for NQ2...
42 ...You actually try to do all these things in order to be addicted to NQ...
43 ...You forget what you did or did not add to this list - Hey, that sounds
a bit familiar...
44 ...To make that Neoquest Hero Plushie easier to drool at, you put a picture
of it on your lookup...
45 ...You go through *only* Normal, Evil, and part of InSaNe when you realize
that there is such a thing in NeoQuest as 3 point armour *pats self on back*
Good girl, you finally figured it out!...
46 ...You enter your pet into the beauty contest, but just have to include something
about NQ in that picture...
47 ...You start writing a song about NeoQuest...
48 ...You keep writing "NeoQuest" as the answer to all the problems on your
math homework, and wonder why your teacher is marking them all wrong...
49 ...Your teacher knows you so well that she marks one of those answers right
once in a while! Ah, just kidding...
50 ...That list you were writing reaches 50 ways to tell you're addicted to
NQ...
51 ...You set your homepage to the NQ game URL...
52 ...You 'pretend' that your Neopet likes NQ and isn't constantly sending you
"I'm bored of this game" and "*sigh* I want to go play Meerca Chase!" random
events...
53 ...You start expecting items from reality and the Neopian world to start
appearing in NQ...
54 ...You start an NQ gallery and wonder why you cant find the items from NeoQuest
on the Shop Wiz...
55 ...You believe that a Banana Pepper Sword is an item that exists in NQ *shakes
head*...
56 ...You switch pets and go to play NQ, and scream in horror before realizing
that the 'Click here to start a game in Normal mode' doesn't belong to your
NQ pet...
57 ...You finally end up numbering your list just to see how addicted you really
are to NeoQuest...
58 ...You start asking people about normal things you can add to your list,
because you're way too addicted to come up with something ordinary...
59 ...You add several extra numbers to the end of the list every time because
you know there will be more ways you will add...
60 ...You start calling people you dislike by 'Xantan' and 'Jahbal'...
61 ...You get so involved in NQ that you end up refreshing the attack page when
you are stunned, therefore getting nowhere for about 10 minutes before you realize
what you are doing...
62 ...Whenever someone mentions NQ in your presence, you always start talking
to them about it for hours and hours...
63 ...You thought about starting a NeoQuest-related website...
64 ...You've actually gone through with that thought - Hmm, now that I mentioned
it...
65 ...You start carefully paying attention when someone says words like 'Quest',
'Pygmy' or 'Mastermind', so now your teacher knows what she needs to do in order
to get you to pay attention in class...
66 ...You make a list of how many similarities your worst enemy and Xantan Reborn
have...
67 ...You start thinking about naming your petpet 'Neoquest'...
68 ...You promise that if you die again on Insane in NQ, you will quit - You
stop making the promise after the 4th 5th time you break it...
69 ...You finally get that NeoQuest Hero Plushie and stick it in your gallery,
where it's completely out of place - Wow, now it's even prettier to drool at...
70 ...You start saying things like 'In NQ, what lvl should I go after the AoR
and am I supposed to get the 10 pt shield from Mokti before or after?' and wonder
why some people have no idea what you are talking about...
71 ...You start making NQ related quizzes and trivia questions, which none of
your friends can ever answer...
72 ...You go beyond all limits and try to explain to your friends from reality
what a 'Mountain Guardian' is...
73 ...You notice for no reason at all that a 'Greater Spirit' has the partial
names of 2 healing potions in it...
74 ...You notice that in NQ there is no such thing as a 'Spirit', so why should
there be a 'Greater Spirit'? You add that that should follow the laws of the
Dervishes (Agate Dervish, Greater Agate Dervish, so on), and everyone starts
laughing...
75 ...Your teacher tells you to write 'I will not play NeoQuest until I finish
homework' 100 times, but you see absolutely no sense in why she would want you
to lie...
76 ...You no longer need the images to load to tell what the monsters you're
fighting look like...
78 ...Your record of talking about NQ exceeds 3 hours...
77 ...You make sure that all of the reasons on your list are in perfect number
order... ^.~
79 ...Instead of the usual Tombola, Fruit Machine, etc., your Daily Neopets
Activities list has Neoquest at the top - Which is as far on the list as you
ever get nowadays...
80 ...You say 'I'm too busy playing NQ right now' pretty often...
81 ...You cant stand to look at yourself for days if you forget how to spell
the name of a character in NQ...
82 ...You know all the names of Neopian items that are related to NQ...
83 ...You start putting ways you can tell you're addicted to NQ into any random
empty number slot, not the one that comes next, since, remember, you always
have a few extra numbers because there's always new things to add...
84 ...If someone asked you, you could say the exact amount of your experience
points, what level you are, how much hp you have currently and at max, all without
looking at your NQ game...
85 ...You find it oddly amusing when you have 1 experience point left to gain
until you get to the next level...
86 ...You have 5 more ways to tell your addicted to NQ to write until you hit
100 on the list, but since you are doing some out of order, people think you're
flunking math because you don't know what 100 minus 5 is, not because you keep
putting "NeoQuest" as every single answer...
87 ...You know how much experience you need for each level, on all three difficulties...
88 ...You say 'I'm taking a break from NQ', but start playing again in less
than 5 minutes...
89 ...You forget how to play other games because you've been playing nothing
but NQ for so long...
90 ...You actually start thinking that my 'Door Theory' makes sense...
91 ...You write and read lists like this, write NQ guides, talk about and play
NQ all at the same time... :P
92 ...You have to stop adding extra numbers because you only have 4 spaces until
you reach 100, and you don't want to go past 100 for the time being...
93 ...You write so many ways on how you can tell if you're addicted to NQ that
its not even funny. Okay, maybe a little...
94 ...You are talking about Maraqua with someone, and somehow you manage to
convert the conversation to the subject of NQ2...
95 ...You always wanted the account name 'neoquest', and you try to create a
new account with that name over and over, getting the same message saying it's
taken. But that doesn't stop you, because maybe it'll work sometime...
96 ...It takes a really long time to read over the list you wrote. Partially
because it's so long, partially because you cant figure out what you meant by
half of what you wrote...
97 ...You write something for the Story Telling Competition about NQ, and wonder
why it didn't get accepted...
98 ...You wonder how Xantan Reborn is going to pronounce your pet gdgdsjfgndflfnd's
name in his opening speech...
99 ...The list you were writing reaches 99 ways to tell your addicted to NeoQuest
(Wow, so there is someone as addicted as me?)...
100 ...What? 99 ways aren't enough? Very well… You know you're addicted to NeoQuest
when you beat Insane, think "…So what do I do now???" panic, and start another
NQ game… : )
