I believe that I've been playing with my tower of goo too much* and would like to coin a new term for what I'm going through. I call it 'goo syndrome'.

Remember that feeling when after playing tetris for too long you'd be stuck in block fitting mode for a while? I believe I have that, but with the tower of goo; watching things for the tiniest hint of a wobble in order to rebalance them. I think I may have started swaying slightly as well ;)

Am I the first to succumb? :D

[=7pt]* 2nd in the world numerous times, woohoo! I think I can see a third sign up there around 40m.[/]

Heh, I already got that in the beta 1. Rookie xD
In the beta 1 that sign was the final sign... or at least there weren't any more poles going upward from it :P

Ok the goo dreams have started...building goo structures in my sleep.

Woke up and found all the pillows piled up to the ceiling and the cat looking rather scared on the top!

True :) When I closed my eyes yesterday night, I was building goo structures :D
