This is the thread where you post different made-up ways you can tell if you are addicted to DKC.
1. When you buy every version of all three DKC's, and try to get a 101%/102%/103% file in under 1/2/3 hour(s) on all of them.
2. When you keep reseting your game because you want to listen/see the intro.

3. ...you break up with your girlfriend because she's taking your time away from playing DKC
(or making DKC websites... 
)By the way; the intro loops over and over, no need to reset... Just grab a bowl of popcorn and soak it up!

I'm guilty of quite a few others here, too... but who wouldn't stock up on bananas if they're going for a good price?
We'll have to organise this into a 'DKC Addiction' survey sometime.
