You know you are addicted to AVS Forum if... - Page 5

When you feel honored by someone mentioning you, Art and jealous in the same sentence

when you can type out the smilies instead of picking them from the images in the reply box.

-When you want everything in high-def...except your AVS picture.

We have a winner!

You're too funny.

Thanks!

This thread is way too funny, wife = J6P lmao

when its 5:01 and you miss beatiing the forum update, and have too wait 15 minutes to resubmit your last post of the night....

What does it mean? I tried plugging it into lexin (http://lexin.nada.kth.se/cgi-bin/swe-eng) and it didn't recognize the word. Now runkar is a different story

runco

http://www.runco.com/

Major high end home theater equipment vendor. Sam Runco former owner founder. Just sold to Planar.

Great performance, even greater prices. Targeted at high income consumers.

Sam Runco is a passionate advocate of home theater. Has spoken at many AVS events.

Proof of my AVS addiction is that I have drunken many drinks and ate too much food at Runco events and can laugh at all of his jokes, even if I have heard them several times before.

-You have more then 3000 posts. Oh wait...

-you aren't very good at typing yet you can type the AVS adress with-out looking at the keyboard.

-you look at pictures of other posters movie collection. Its just movies on shelves but you can help but look..

-you average atleast 5 posts a day.

...when you walk outside and think to yourself 'wow this looks so real...great contrast!'

You know when...

You have a "system" for reading the forum pages: Opening up everything on the front page you want to read, then the individual forums, then the individual post, before going back and reading the first page you opened.

Your wife yells at you from the other room because at some point in time you changed her homepage, on HER computer, to AVSForum.

You get mad at the guy who asks a question that was already asked on page 34 of the 80 page thread.

You spend more time "tweaking" your display than actually watching it.

You've come to the realization that every piece of electronic equipment you own is crap.

You can't believe you didn't find this thread until now.

--you go though withdrawls each time the site gos down. Even if only a few minnites.
Furthermore if you've seen the site down more then once.


--you use AVS but can quit at any time really you can.

-When you're not on AVS, you spend your time scouting the Radio Shack, looking for HD-VMD "nerds" to pick on.

I know what Runco the company, is. I meant runco, the Swedish word.

... when "just 5 more minutes honey" . . . turns into an hour!

When your wife asks you to come into the bedroom and you say "in a minute" because you're reading a particularly interesting series of posts about lossless audio.

or even worse you say OK and come walking into the bedroom with your laptop in hand and are still reading it as you hop into bed.

...you discover the rest of the world (wide web) is boring

You think something BIG is going on behind the scenes when Amir takes a break from posting

You start all your conversations at work with" well my friends on the forum say" and you only know them by their screen name not their real name, well except Art and David.
I had a great time at the party Thanks David!

...your constantly dissatisfied with some aspect of your HT because of things you read about here.

oopsie...

what is runco in swedish then?

That's what I was asking Razter.

When you proposition your wife to perform a Firmware update.

When you think your opinion, or post on AVS will somehow have an effect on the format war.

... you use a text-to-speech software. e.g. TextAloud, to listen to Amir's long "sleepless in Seattle"-stints while commuting to work.

Unfortunately, the voice I use, Paul, does not sound like Amir. I yearn for the day when I can listen to an Amir-sounding voice saying: "Darin, we've pounded this subject to death. Saving Private Ryan will, and does, look unbelievable on HD DVD. I've seen it."

...you are considering going back to a wired mouse and keyboard because the cost of batteries has exceeded the cost of a HD DVD!
