I found such a topic @ CnCGuild. It's actually quite fun. List somethings, I'll start:

You're addicted to RA2 if...

1. You never let anyone with a wrench come even near your house - he might be an engie and wants to capture your house!
2. When you wake up you say "Battle Control Online"
3. You are actually i the Guiness book of Records for building sandbag barriers.
4. You put your brother in a big watertank in the barn, hoping it will clone you and your friends.
5. When somebody tells you you have to hurry, you say "Why not just Chrono there?"
6. You're afraid of any black car - it might be under the effect of the Iron Curtain.
7. You buy 368 manifying glasses to reconstruct the Prism effect.
8. When people complain about having their house burnt over your Prism tests, you answer that people didn't say that to Einstein.
9. You paint a tree over your car, so that the commies won't see you and you can then burn 'em
10. You have absolutely no friends at all and your family has forgotten your name.
11. If you think you'll get an IFV when you buy a convertable .
12. You complain your cameo on your ID doesn't have glassy effect nor text.
13. You're trying to deploy your truck into a building, without succes BTW.
14. You're actually still reading this freaky thread.
15. You are completely freaked out when the building you just entered didn't immediatly get sandbags and barriers.
16. You try to buy a real army tank for $700.
17. Instead of saying "I'm low on cash", you always say "I have insufficient funds".
18. You're afraid of the Coast Guard - after all, they use Destroyers.
19. You slam open all wooden crates you find, hoping you'll get invisible once.
20. You completely deny that the Kremlin is on the Red Square - It's just outside Moscow, surrounded by Cloning Vats and bald geezers.
21. You refer to Lenin as "the Yuri lookalike".
22. You can actually list 22 "you're addicted to YR"s.
