Since we all seem to be suffering HMW withdrawal in some way, shape, or form, why not try and list 1000 symptoms of withdrawal? I'll start with the first few

1. When you are suffering HMW withdrawal right now
2. When you're starting this thread
3. When you've written fanfics about your team
4. When you try to draw/ask your friends to draw your HMW characters
5. When you model an HMW character after someone that you don't like and the person gets the hint (the only one that I'm not guilty of, but someone did do a good job of with fanfics)

Any additions to this list?

Actually, if I were to do that, I'd consider the hmw and the fanfic chars to be one and the same lol

You're annoyed at answering the phone at work because you know that menas you'll have to go out on the floor to fix something when you're next bot will be out of the CR chamber in just 59 seconds!

8. You cry, shake, sweat, hyper-ventilate and finally regress to a state where you think you are a member of your HMW team.
only to become arrested for disturbing the peace after yelling: "Doomsayer transforms into a weapon.
Doomsayer strafes garbage can.
Doomsayer strafes Walmart attendant.
Doomsayer strafes Walmart attendant.
Doomsayer strafes shopping cart."

I should have never have used that word in front of ya, Red.

36. You start praying really hard that it comes back so that you're not tempted to play those silly little games on Popcap.com

37. You buy model kits based on your character's alt modes.

38. You have writer's block because you're too busy checking to see if your characters have gotten out of the mission/arena/CR chamber.

39. You have long-winded bios for the majority of your characters.

40. You proclaim a kill on a character or creature in another game as a sacrifice to the HMW RNG.

41. You spend WAY too much time thinking up responses to "Addicted to HMW" threads.
