<div class="IPBDescription">funny things you do when modelling...</div> You know you've spent too long on an NS model when....

you start doing the chicken dance to figure out how your lerk replacement's wings should move. (yes I just found myself doing this today trying to figure out how I should do the "spire" attack movement for chickenlerk)

Post your own! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    You know you've spent too much time trying to create custom sounds when you being to mimic everything you hear...

    I recall a time when I was playing AvP2...and my mother walked by my door, and I was making loud clicking/gurgling noises. She still thinks I need to be placed in an institution.

    I think I ... yeah. There was an instance in Woods class where we were making a bench. There were two screw drivers, and I picked them up...then I thought better, and put them down. Guess it would be kind of awkward to see some kid stab himself in the abdomen with two screwdrivers, let out a loud roar, and then sit back down <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    There was another instance with NS where I fell down my stairs during the night and my dad was up late working, and he said I yelled "commander, I need a medpack". Sleep walking is bad for your health.

    I have an odd tendancy to have problems with multitasking. I will be on the phone and chatting in NS at the same time, and I have an odd tendancy to say my PHONE conversation in NS chat, and whats the NS players are talking about; I say to the phone to a clueless parent, all accidently. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    "you start doing the chicken dance to figure out how your lerk replacement's wings should move. (yes I just found myself doing this today trying to figure out how I should do the "spire" attack movement for chickenlerk)"
    Thats perfectly normal IMO, as it helps you work out how it works.
    Howver sleepwalking, then falling downstairs and yelling "Commander, I need a medpack!" Isn't normal, but it's funny <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    it gets really bad when your talking to someone and guessing how many polys their face is.

    Anytime you look at something, you try to guess where the exact middle of it is.

    When your dad wakes you up in the morning and you tell him you can't get up because "the animations for it aren't finished yet", my dad just scratched his head, lol <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    when you start to imagine your friends, pets , parent and other inanimate objects as collections of basic 3d shapes.

    when you are talking to someone and start looking at them at different angles, checking for backfaces and scale.

    When you take a real pistol and reload it like a pistol from cs, by hitting the clip release, and letting the clip slide out, catching it in your hands, then slaming another one back in.

    my favorite thing to do is go around "setting the table" and "doing dishes"

    it's fun... i've been banned (yes, banned) from one fred meyers (a one-stop shopping store) they have mugshots of me, and when i try and walk in the front dors, security guards pop out of nowhere and escort me out of the store, it's fun to try and get part them...


    Setting the table-
    start unpacking dishes, eating utensils, walk around the store shopping for food...and get your favorite chairrs, and table, and well, set the table, make it ready for people to eat off of... and don't forget to ask any people that pass by if they want to join you for "inset meal here"

    Doing The Dishes-
    this follows setting the table... well, you've just eaten (imaginarily, because i'm always broke)...and look at all these dishes! o.O pack up all your dishes, and continue to the appliance section, and load up your favorite dish washer.......or all of them using random things from around the store (womens underwear usually freaks people out when they open the dishwasher...<!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)

    Well, completely off-topic,
    You know you've played too much Morrowind when it's foggy outside and you think "Damn, I need to turn up my view distance" - really happened on my way to school once

    I've also had some of the same NS experieces you've all had
