179. When you're putting off serious work projects to print out GameSpot previews and groveling at 27 new screenshots.
 
180. You filled up a 128MB jump drive with screenshots!

I have 56K here at home, so when I go to the college I download all the screenshots I can grab using their fast speed connection. I filled up my jump drive!
 
181. You take a screenshot of a city, then label the houses with names of people you know.

I'VE BEEN DOING THIS! SERIOUSLY!!!

I have no life I know! I was bored. I'm Ernie W. by the way, in that northern apartment building.

185.You already have to go to CA meetings once a week for the newest installment of the game.
 
186. You seriously consider getting a part-time job at the local computer game store in the hope you may be able to "borrow" a copy before it's officially authorized for public sale to everyone else.
 
187 you apply to a job of cleanin technician at Firaxis so you can borrow a copy of the game at night when you work...
188 you're in jail cause you stole a copy of Civ4 at night
189 you go into depression when you learn there is no computer enough powerfull to play Civ4 in Jail
 
190. There is a sign posted in the window of your local game shop that says "No -insert your name here- we don't have a reliable release date for Civ IV yet."

or

191. When you walk into your local game shop THEY ASK YOU when Civ IV is going to be released.

192. ref to 191 - They are probably correct that you will know before they do.
 
193. You hit the refresh button on Gamespot.com Civ IV page more often then you take a breath.
 
194. You start progressing through the 5 stages of grief, over whether the game will bomb.
194.a Denial - "No, Civ IV can't possibly be better..."
194.b Anger - "AAARRRGGG... CIV 4 WILL SUCK!!!!11!"
194.c Bargaining - "Maybe... if they delay the release date.. it would be better?"
194.d Depression - "OOOHH they're not releasing the Pit boss feature till later...
We're doomed.... I want to die...."
194.e Acceptance - "Maybe.. Maybe.. It will be ok?"

195 You get to the point when you repeat step 194 on a daily basis.
196 You realise how horrible it would be if you got hit by a bus on Nov. 23.
