I wish it was just three. If I see one more vampire lacky, I will take a magnifiying glass to em.
How bout some fire, scarecrow......
...When you hear a commercial for the Toyota Camry LE and wonder if that will be the prize at the Tournament this week.
...when you start dating a girl called Ellie, just cos it makes you feel good...

When you can build teams using unreleased figures while sleeping AND know correct point values in your dreams.
When you see or hear numbers and think of heroclix figures.
"That'll be One Ninety Eight" mmmm. Vet doom.
"We have a 1-8-7 here" ahh, Vet Thor
"Thirty Seven!?!? Try not to....." Play Rookie Invisible Girl (on the way home)
When you see a car accident on the freeway and wonder how much clicks of damage that is?:)

...when your post-per-day average is higher than most judges and review writers who have been here since HCRealms' creation.
...when one of your friends asks you to go get a beer and you say, "I can't. I'm pushed."
...when you open up a new pack of explosion and you're already thinking of what mods you can do.
...when you go to the dollar store and think about how all those cheap toys would make great map props.
...when you start thinking of BattleofthePlanets-Clix, Thundercats-Clix, Godzilla-Clix, Anime-Clix, knowing you've already sunk your college tuition into Hero-Clix and can't afford any new expansions.
...when you spend all your time in between playing games on the weekend creating the perfect anti-firelord team for when you go back next weekend.
...when you write reviews for figures that aren't even out yet.
...when you write reviews for figures that will NEVER come out.
Well I just had a dream last night that I pulled an E Batman, V Thor, LE Green Lantern, and U Nightcrawler in an XPlosion pack. I don't know what it means, but I think it's good :D

...when you get a small feeling of euphoria buying a booster pack or an opened single you really didn't need, and it's similar to the first drag on a cigarette.
...when you actually use the white dice that comes with the starter packs.
...when you generally only play Marvel tournies, but still play DC tournies even though you hate DC because you need to feed your "clix fix."
...your carrying case for your clix looks like you are taking a two week vacation to Maui.
...you think to yourself, "Yeah, that E Firelord is $4.00. But that's my Burger King money...oh well, I need to lose weight anyway."
...you respond to posts titled, "You know your addicted to Clix when,"

DOCTOR DOOM!
Lackey: How do you do that?
Doom: Do what?
Lackey: Talk in big capital letters.
Doom: Silence, minion!
Cpux, great sig! This one line is proof undeniable that Strazenski was born to write comic books! :)
... you mimic all the battle cries, conversations, and side comments of all your figs when you play them, and your GIRLFRIEND can tell who you're voicing just by hearing them.
Sigh.
'Course, she's addicted now, too...

03/14/2003, 12:22
...when you use words like broken, overcosted and borken.
...when you just don't have anything better to do at work than respond to yourself.
...when the clix group at your local venue actually knows what the hell you are talkng about when you say, "Did you see what that guy said in responce to my post on HCRealms?"
...and that IS a GREAT sig. That is is the kinda thing that I'm talking about, too...

On a number of occasions my wife has told me that during the night she'll look over and I have my arms raised toward the ceiling in my sleep. She says my hands seem to be working on something...something small. This has ben a mystery. Then a few days ago she got out of the shower laughing and told me she'd figured it out. She theorizes that I'm clicking figures in my sleep!
So, even in my dreams, I must be taking a lot of damage!
Dangit, shin-goji, I'm just proving you right too, aren't I?

03/14/2003, 12:27
...when you replace Doom's head with a big smiley face.
...when you actually field a team of all Skrulls.
...when you really do have one copy of each R/E/V criminal, thug and lackey in your collection.
...when $100 seems a reasonable price to pay for a figure you more than likely will never field.
...when you keep a clix in your pocket and rotate the dial as a nervous habit instead of chewing your fingernails or tapping your feet.

... when you watch the DareDevil movie and when DD ducks a punch you say to your friend he hit his super senses roll. Then you yell to the screen for Elektra to get in close on Bullseye becasue he stinks in close combat.
... when your significant other asks you how your day at work was and you tell her what interesting stuff happened on the Realms.
... when you realize that shin-goji sure does post a lot and yet still manages to not say much. :p
... you write reviews 3 (ok, 2 now) times a week for no particular reason and certainly not for the compensation or the chicks.

... at Mega Con you paint yourself green and rip off your t-shirt so you look like the savage hulk.
... when you start translating fractured post on the realms.
...when you call HCRealms, "the realms".
...when you see someone at the comic shop buying heroclix and you ask if they use "The Realms"
when you know when you bought all your figures but cant remember your girlfriends birthday
You know you're a clixer when - youre on the message boards for like five hours until 3:30 a.m. LOL.
You don't stress the importance of clix as Christmas presents enough, so the avalanche of boosters you were hoping for never materializes. As a result you spend the day after XMas returning and trading things in, combined with spending your gift cards and XMas cash on/for clix. (True story)
You talk your friends into pooling resources with you so that you can buy your clix by the Case.
Ebay holds a sudden, deadly allure....
You would rather hear a DC expansion announcement than a North Korean disarmement pact.
You haven't bought a new DvD for yourself since you began playing. Similar declines are noted in CD purchases and video rentals.
Adding to your collection (opening new boosters) becomes a seriously time consuming process; Open, sticker, update hardcopy checklist, update online checklist, determine new "For trade" designations, update online wish list, put the new figs into storage and clip the clix points just in case...
You hold onto your clix points for fear if they do initiate a redemption program, you'd never forgive yourself.
You don't like to look at the number of clix you have in your collection, as it might give you some idea of how much you've spent on these things.
You trade so much that you worry your local postmaster suspects you deal drugs or something in those little rectangular boxes.
Your email inbox is like 75% clix related. Trade offers, ebay bid notices, thread reply notifications....
You have a God #### stack of maps. To get to the next to the bottom map and flip it over takes a team effort.
You actually have a system for "Smooshing" new maps so that figures and objects don't fall/teeter on the folds. Multiple phone books laid on top of them overnight works great by the way... not that I'd know or anything.
You catch yourself having those "Gollum Moments". Brief moments when you realize you've been staring at, holding, maybe even slightly caressing your figures. All that's missing is the repeated "Precioussss". Maybe you even do that too.
One fishing tackle box is no longer enough for your figs.
You worry how the new Xplosion expansion will impact you financially. Should you start saving money for March now?
Instead of fanatasies of women fame and fortune, you spend your daydream moments wondering things like "Will the new Sinestro be a wuss on the board like the Sentinel is?"
You've re-read the FAQ more than twice. Worse yet, you occasionally find yourself re-reading the REGULAR rules. Just in case there's something there you haven't been doing right.
Your list of R/E/Vs needed is smaller than the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list. And given the choice between capturing the crooks or the clix... well, lets just say John Walsh wouldn't think very highly of you.
You love getting figures you traded for, because you know you'll be able to make a check on your checklist - as opposed to opening boosters, where you just wind up adding to the "total" next to an already checked off box.
You make a "Heroclix soundtrack" Superman theme, Batman Theme, theme from every ridiculous Superhero TV show thats ever been made. Ok, that was really sad. I never did that. Lets just move on.
You write a list of things indicative of having a compulsion/addiction that's like 500 words long, and yet you don't even really care, because you know for everything you write at least one person who reads it is going to laugh and go, "Oh Man I'm so busted, I do that too..."
God help us one and all....
I guess my favorite one from my list above is the "Gollum Moments"... I still catch myself having those...

When you start thinking did the guy who painted the White Queen take a really long time? She is ahh very well painted....
...when you want to go to the Clix Tourney and your wife wants you to paint the kitchen.
You try to Perplex her, but she uses Outwit on you.
You regroup and try Mind Controll, and she gets enraged with Battle Fury, so you're SOL.
In one final attempt, you try Stealth.
It's only then she picks up the frying pan with her Super Strength, Charges and... :eek:
You get out the paint and start working on the kitchen.
I might have taken her if she wasn't a Minion of Doom. :(

You read Fogs' list of 22 signs you are addicted to clix, and you feel okay because one of them doesn't apply to you. What kind of a geek makes a Heroclix soundtrack? Sure, the other 21 are true, but I would never make a Heroclix soundtrack.
Hey honey, do we have any blank CDs left? No reason...
And I have not recorded every detail of my booster purchases. I can't count that high. But I do know the price of a Cosmic Justice case at fifteen different websites, plus from my local retailer (not worth it, have to pay tax), versus the cost of individual boosters, minus the time I have to wait for the case to arrive, plus the joy from opening 48 individual boosters, not to mention the one free poster. Uh, what thread is this again? Nevermind. Forget it, I'm addicted. How much can I get for my kids' toys and clothes?

Hi, my name is mjolnir and I'm a plastic clix/crack addict. I've tried to stop but the lure of pristine unopened boosters... sitting there with possibility is just too much for my meager willpower. I find myself in a few "gollum moments" as well.
This is the meeting room for ClixAnonymous, isn't it?
I'll just sit in the back and wait for the next person(unfolds a chair and sits in the back shadows...)

... seriously, that "Thor" thing's disturbing.
... when you count the money in your wallet in terms of boosters.
... when you field a 500 point team consisting of LE Wilson Fisk, V Bullseye and about a million and a half Con-Artists and still manage to win. (Bullseye with a range of 24, attack of 15, and damage of 13.)
... when you beat your friend and mimic Iron Man's pose to get back at him for continually doing that Thor pose. (I think I hate him.)

... I swear that the Thug looks just like my friend Terrance. (Except that T wears a hat all the time.)
... when you convert an entire bedroom into a map of your hometown just because you think it would be cool to watch Abomination throw your car at Toad in downtown St. Marys.
... when you've started a side collection of Nightcrawler and have 47 of him.
...You carry Black Cat around during finals week for "Good Luck".
...You send off to Japan for an authentic headband and kimono to wear while you field your "Taskmaster and the ninja squad" team. (WAI!!!)

When you hold up a sign on the corner that says will work for clix...
When your house is falling apart, there is no food in the house, and your pets are starving and you have a room full of Fire Lords and start thinking of them in terms of cheese...
When you are watching a super hero movie and think in terms of clix (I have done that)
