When talking to your friend, who is the former captain of your team, and you think about having a FIRST Robotics themed role playing game. And even go as far as creating the name Dungeons & Dean.

... when you start poling the War Craft 3 community if they know about FIRST then get excited when one of them has heard about it.

...you know youve overdosed on FIRST when it:
  1. FIRST comes up in normal conversation
  1. CD is the top bookmark because you use it so much
  1. You spend all your free time in the robotics room trying to fix last years robot, getting the camera to work, figuring out what the clues mean, and reading CD posts.

To true, I do that a lot. You know you've overdosed on FIRST when you invent a game of your own, and actually start programming for it, and pretend that you only have six weeks to finish it, just to pass the time (six weeks to be exact)

Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...
1. Chief Delphi is your homepage
2. You have more visits per day to CD than to either Myspace or I Can Has Cheezburger.
3. You get the music from the 'Life is full of firsts' video stuck in your head.
4. You open 3DS Max more times in one week than any computer/console game you own.

I'm guilty of all of these. I just watched the above mentioned video, and I had that gut feeling of both nostalgia and longing for kickoff to hurry up and get here! I need to get up and go to the high school at 5:30, but I'm sure I'll never get any sleep beforehand.
