We all relate to some of the following. I do on numbers 6, 8, 11, 12, 14, 15 (SAD!), 16, 18, 47, 48, 49 and 50!
Enjoy and post your own! Keep the number series :)

You know you're addicted to Marble Blast when...

1) You roll everywhere. Literally roll. Whether it's on the floor or on the street, you roll!
2) You think the 100m sprint World Record holder used a super speed and went in diagonal movement.
3) You wonder from where did the helicopters managed to get an unlimited Gyrocopter.
4) You still wonder why it takes a helicopter so long to get off the ground!
5) You play in a pinball machine and wonder where're the gems and the exit. You also try and not get out of bounds.
6) You wonder why you cannot use testhceats=1;
7) Before taking a recording with your webcam/video camera/digital camera/whatever, you say '$dorecorddemo=true;"
8) You are unhappy that you cannot make 'Custom Life' days.
9) You time how long does it take to you to do something and then try and beat it.
10) You then challenge everybody to beat that time.
11) Work/School is just another level: Avoid obstacles (teachers, homework, detention, bosses, other workers/students etc) and finish as fast, and good, as possible.
12) You actually do post in this topic a reply with your own 'You know you're addicted to Marble Blast When...' fun joke.
13) The only thing you do is chat about Marble Blast and you also ask others for tips and share tricks and pathways on certain levels.
14) Deadline is just another qualify time.
15) You dream about Marble Blast.
16) You cannot wait for MBU to come out on PC/Mac/Linux
17) You're the number one fan
18) You hold the most world records in Marble Blast
19) You know everything there is about Marble Blast!
20) You wonder how do airplanes fly without a Gyrocopter
21) The universe is just a big InBoundTrigger and anything that kills you is just another OutOfBounds trigger you need to escape.
22) You wish you could restart life and try it again.
23) You avoid fans and tornados, but if they're in your way, you go forwards and let them send you to the other side.
24) You have a large collection of sand clocks at home.
25) You somehow manage to relate everything in life to Marble Blast
26) You love making custom levels, in fact, you made over 100!
27) You collect every single custom level ever made.
28) You're desperate to find easter eggs and still believe in the secret levels, including adv 53 and the secret room, even when Garage Games staff said there are no such things.
29) You play over 12 hours of Marble Blast per day.
30) You made a status of a certain Marble Blast feature
31) You watch out for Gravity Modifiers and so you avoid astronomy classes and anything to do with arrows or yellow round balls.
32) Mines just explode but don't kill you, unless they send you out of bounds, so it's ok to step on them.
33) You built a shock absorber device so that you can fall from 200km height and still just hit the ground with no damage to you.
34) No matter where you are, at home, school or work, you have your Marble Blast window open.
35) You think springs are super jumps, so you built a shoe where the springs are the base, so you can jump really high.
36) Pogo sticks are super jumps.
37) You wonder why there are no elevators like in Skyscraper.
38) In swimming, flippers are the best super speeds.
39) You roll down a mountain. Literally roll down.
40) You want to roll back up on the mountain but for some reason, cannot.
41) Cars, trains, trams and anything else that can move is in fact a moving platform.
42) You put your hands on whatever you can find and attach wheels to it, just so it can roll.
43) You know what kind of friction surfaces exist on Earth. Sand is high friction, grass is lower friction, straight road has lower friction, but there's no such thing as no friction on Earth.
44) You check every hour the Marble Blast forums and is a very active poster.
45) There's nothing you didn't do on Marble Blast! You finished the game and every custom level ever made, you even did your own custom levels, you even modified Marble Blast and you also hold World Records as well as purchasing QuArK and anything else that relates to Marble Blast.
46) You know Marble Blast so well, that even GarageGames wanted to employ you!
