Title: You've been playing NS too much when...
Post by: 2_of_8 on January 10, 2005, 03:36:54 PM: Yup. Every game board has to have this thread.
So, what have you folks done that is ogm-so-nerdy and that seconds after you've done it you think "wow, I've been playing NS too much"? Share your experiences.
Me: I thought of wall-strafing in a room where I saw the walls were straight enough, without anything sticking out of them :D
In case some of you don't know, wallstrafing is walking/strafing against the walls to get more speed.
Semi-ninja edit! Abs si teh nub, what's he talking about.

*When you yell "oh my god, Eject" in class when you hear a bad idea
*When you dont know how to spell pants anymore
*When ever you hear "cc" or "ns" in any context you octomatically say what it is in full.

Post by: A Boojum Snark on January 10, 2005, 04:20:25 PM: You silly bear :D wallwalking is walking on the walls, what skulks do. The engine exploit of gaining speed is wallstrafing, as you must strafe into the wall while going forward to gain the speed.

On topic... never had such a moment :p

Post by: EmperorPenguin on January 15, 2005, 11:33:32 PM: My only problem is vocabulary, where phrases like "cornmando" and "oh noes" are seriously threatening the proper words. In fact, I fear that "zOMG" may be next. Pronounced "zoh my god", this would be the most terrible thing to happen to me. Ever.

Post by: Ulatoh on January 17, 2005, 12:32:43 AM: When you're sitting in class, the teacher begins lecturing and you yell " OMG BACON! BACON NOW DAMNIT!"

when someone farts, and you catch a whiff, your sight jerks down and to the right, and you see red trapezoids.

when you get a flat, and mumble " pg, comm"

if someone keeps annoying you in your room, and you keep petitioning the "big comm in the sky" to drop you a pack of mines

if the air conditioner blowing bothers you, and you suddenly realise you want a welder

if you're stomach growls, and you hear " You need more resources!"

if you hock up a big loogie, and spit it, and it goes right where you wanted, and you think " Focus Gorge FTW!"

if you pee on a turd in the toilet and think " BILEBOMB FTW!"

if you ever sneeze in your hand and are pissed at all the web you just wasted.

... if you've ever peed on your hand after you sneezed on it, in order to bilebomb down the excess webbing.

if when you're dreaming, and your parent wakes you up, and pulls the covers off your head, you think " The commchair is under attack!"

Post by: johnjacobjingle on January 17, 2005, 03:13:36 PM: i haven't played ns for more than an hour total in the past 6 months...i still say "Oh Noes!" "For the Win" and "To Be Honest IRL" all the time...i'm noob. i guess that's what happens when you play NS for 2 years straight(since the beginning baby yah!)

and, as i've been around since hte beginning, i can't hear the word "scorpian" without laughing, smirking, or chuckling a little. damn those hovaring non-flappers!

Post by: Asal on January 17, 2005, 08:30:16 PM: Or, for the roleplayers:

You make a personality for the marine that you are on NS, as well as a history.

Example:

Asal 'The Unforgiving' Skulltaker was a man born on a newly colonized world, where the living conditions were harsh and the people were considered uncivilized.....

Yes, yes I did that. No, you don't get to know any more of it.

Henry "lolfighter" Highet hails from New New New Neo New York, where he grew up on the sidewalks, the streets being too crowded with cars to even think about crossing. No, nanites don't count. He enlisted in the Frontiersmen to escape the tyranny of the pidgeons, his chief adversaries in the daily fight for food. After getting assigned to the troop transporter "omglololol" (don't ask. Great, I say "don't ask" and you go ahead and do it anyway, peabrain. Okay, "name a spaceship" turns out to be a bad bad first prize for a LAN tournament), he was phazed to an infected space station where... Hey, STOP INTERFERING! I'M TRYING TO WRITE A BACKSTORY FOR MY RINE HERE! Oh ffs... *sigh* Where he was eaten by a skulk before stepping foot off the IP.

Now I'll have to start over the next time I spawn. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?

Yes. Yes, I figured you were.

[edit] man.. asal gave me an awesome idea... an NS roleplay server :ph34r:
would still be all action, but intense drama and suspense in the middle!

"aagh, i'm hit! i can feel that parasite burrowing into me!"
"don't worry jim, we'll get you to the medlab and let the Doc remove th-"
"NO! there's no time for that! i can hear them coming! leave me to die, save yourself!"
"Never, jimmy. I'll never leave behind a friend. come on, we'll take them together"
*a lone tear drops from Jim's eye*
"alright, lets do it. The only thing they're gonna eat are bullets"
*both let out a battlecry as a group of skulks charge them*

and during this the aliens will be all like, "rawwr I r shoot thems hoomans. we eat now?"
"eat now yes. eat now good. good eat food."
"hooman food not bullet. eat. good"
"spawn more overlords"
