    This is actually a pretty good topic, maybe it should get stickied?

    There was a thread like this before it got really big.

    You know when you play to much Ns when...

    You hide above a door way chuckling when people pass by

    You reach the flagroom in bases, find yourself alone with all the defense respawning, and attempt to evolve to a demoman, in order to plant detpack.

    Happened to me twice :\

    Bah, I started a topic like this in the original forums. Looks like it's gone now. Too bad, there we're some pretty good ones like someone asking his dog why he wasn't building O chambers after coming out of a dream.

    Yeah I miss that old topic.

    You spend more time playing your free copy of NS than the 200$ game you had been saving for months to buy.

    This would be a true story response:

    I'm playing NS and my roomie comes in and asks me a question. I respond to him, and all of a sudden he just stares at me.

    I'm like, what's wrong?

    And then he gets super freaked out.

    He told me that I was talking to him in the same tone of voice that I would in commanding my soldiers or telling people to get to a waypoint. He tells me to get a life, walks out of my room. And then I go play NS.

    You sit in traffic and try to think of how to invent a phase gate.

    You always hear turrets beeping

    (True) You roommates say you were making noises in your sleep like you were yelling at marines to get to the waypoint.

    (True) You want to check the time and instead of turning your head to the right to see the clock, you flick the mouse to the right and wonder why you cant see the clock. (applicable to any fps really)

    The natural position of the fingers of your left hand on the keyboard is not over asdf (for typing) but wasd

    You automatically respond to any request with 'Roger, Comm'.. even if it's your mother asking you to do a chore. (Sadly, I've done this more than once or twice. Though only didn't catch myself the first time)

    You yell obscenities at anyone that sings accusing them of being a "MTOHER FUKCING VOICE SPAMmr!!!!11 SUYF u F*G!!!1" This has happened to me during a school concert, with disastrous results.

    You carry an acetylene torch wherever you go, and use it to apply liberal amounts of intense heat to anything you see- air conditioning systems, ventilation grates, and the torn/ripped clothing of friends, to disastrous results.

    - your laugh has become an almost perfect replica of the alien chuckle.

    - you can carry on a full conversation in Kharian.

    - you assume the school bully has a very good kill/death ratio.

    - you get a bad haircut and think "if I just type 'kill' in console, I'll respawn like I was at the beginning of the day".

    - you sit in front of a computer for several minutes, thinking up signs that you might be addicted to Natural Selection.

    Yeah, didn't think my bump would generate this much of a response.
  • SoulSkorpionSoulSkorpion Join Date: 2002-04-12 Member: 423Members
    - You respond to people telling you stuff with "copy that" (guilty)

    - You find yourself walking around your furnature, muttering "God, blindspots everywhere! This TF isn't going to last five minutes!"

    - (Kharaa too much) You're playing as marines, run into a WoL and take a bit of damage. Retreating, you hear the def chambers regenerating and think "oh good, I need healing", so you run back into the WoL and die. (guilty)

    You hear random noises when doing stuff, and immediately think of in-game noises. (For example, last night I moved my chair, and it's legs on the ground made a noise that immediately made me think the door was going to open. You know, that little beep when you use a console to open a door).

    (Play as marines too much) Even when you're an alien, you get freaked out by the noises aliens make. Once I played as a skulk, and was majorly freaked out for a while because I thought an alien was following me. Then I realized that what I was hearing was myself walking.

    I havent read the whole thread but... god that one really marked me a whole lot...

    I dreamed that my school was a NS map (like some kind of custom, and the cafeteria was the hive... I don't really remember, but I remember noticing that's odd, our door to the classroom is closed... anybody got a welder?

    now dont say Im mad Im not D: Im pretty sure its normal to dream about NS after youve played a whole weekend non-stop. As I always say, dreaming about a good thing is always better than a nightmare <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
