» You know you're obsessed with clones when...

Are you obsessed with clones? I sure am. Here are some ways to tell if you are. And yeah, let's just say that most of these completely apply to me. ;)

You know you're obsessed with clones when...

• You love the Dark Nest novels, but the first thing you turned to when you got The Swarm War was the Triple Zero excerpt.
• You've memorised the numbers and nicknames for more than 10 clones.
• You've ever recorded yourself singing anything in Mando'a, or you've caught yourself singing Vode An in a public place.
• You've played Republic Commando so much that you know where all the enemies and turrets are, and you always kill all the wall-attached scav droids before they get a chance to attack you.
• You're watching AotC, and you get a major urge to vibroblade any Geonosian you see onscreen, while muttering curses about "dirty worthless bugs".
• You've converted someone else into a clone fan.
• You've convinced at least two other people who don't usually read Star Wars books to read Hard Contact.
• You go to type "command" and find yourself trying to put an 'o' at the end of the word.
• Your copies of Hard Contact, Star Wars Insider #81 & #84, and a printout of the Mando'a lyrics from the Republic Commando game are permanently within easy reach of your computer - for reference purposes.
• You own all three covers of the Star Wars Insider issue with the Guide to the GAR article in it.
• You've made up your own squad of Republic Commandos, complete with numbers, nicknames, personalities, and armour colouring.
• You read and/or write clone-centric fanfic.
• You see it as your personal duty to exterminate the general population's belief that the clones aren't human, aren't sentient, have no free choice, or that the lives of individuals are meaningless because "more can be made".
• You prefer swearing in Mando'a to swearing normally.
• You own or desperately want clone trooper armour.
• Your clone action figures regularly 'execute Order 66' on your Jedi action figures.
• You listen to the Republic Commando game soundtrack as much as you listen to your favourite bands.
• You find yourself quoting the commandos in everyday conversation and/or life.
• You've ever gone through one of the movie scenes with clones in it frame-by-frame.
• You give the "search & destroy" or "form up" hand signal, and wonder why your friends don't react. (Suggested by Shadowshock)
• You routinely talk to your squad out loud while playing Republic Commando. For example: "Sev, go snipe", "Stop lagging behind, Scorch", "I don't care if it's against procedure, Fixer, get your butt over here and revive me... thanks", "Die, you metal-head piece of trash!" (oh wait, that's Sev... :D), etc.
• You misread common English words as similar Mando'a words. For example: vod'ika instead of 'vodka' (true story).
