You know you've played TOO much CastleVania Symphony of the Night, when...:

1. You know the names of everything you kill even before you whack them.

2. You refer to Alucard by his "real" name.

3. You know how to spell "Farenheights" without even looking!

4. You know which monster drops which kewl item/weapon/shield, and God
   help the person who interrupts you when said monster drops said important
   item and you leave the room accidently, screaming, "NOOOOooooo!!!!"

5. It only takes you three seconds to kill Dracula and Shaft PUT
    TOGETHER fully loaded.

6. You let your familiars do all the work for you.

7. You can kill Dracula UNARMORED, UNLOADED, without items, and all
   without taking one hit.  <my friend Bill is ALMOST to this point! 
   shudder>

8. You refer to Maria as that "hot Castlevania chick that wants
   Alucard."

9. You refer to Shaft as the ugly, wimpy little imp.

10.You call Richter "the other Belmont."

11.You know what each shield does with the shield rod, and this
   includes all those rare ones you picked up from sitting there pounding
   on the assorted baddies.

12.Dracula cowers in terror of you when you enter the room.

13.You know where every Save, Teleport, Relic, and other kewl items are
   located without going onto the Net, and without using the map the game
   provides.

14.You pound on the Guardians in the upside-down Clock Tower just
   because it's fun, and you can kill them in under three hits if they don't
   shield.

15.You refer to the Crissaegrim as the "Great Stick of Unholy Godawful
   Whoopass," or other names for this badass sword.  Kill a few Shmoos if
   you don't know what I'm talking about...  they're in the upside-down
   library.

16.You don't use any other swords besides the Crissaegrim!  It makes
   the rest of the game practically OBSOLETE!  You also keep the sword
   around STRICTLY as a sword, shield, armor, to kick ass, take names, and
   look damn kewl doing it!

17.You call your friends pet-names after monsters roaming around the
   castle.

18.You OWN the Duplicator, but you also have the Great Stick of Unholy
   Godawful Whoopass.  You're just playing with the bad guys now.

19.You really don't have to kill all those things in the entrance way
   in the upside-down castle, but it's SO MUCH FUN to hear them scream!!!

20.You have spent over 50 hours on one game, trying to build up Alucard
   to the point where he could take on most tanks, the army, F14's, and
   still stand without a wound on him, yelling out, "Is that the BEST you
   could do?"
